What Matheo said was not wrong.
Even if his infidelity had become public knowledge, even if he was undeniably at fault, the law would only grant Sienna, as the innocent party, a more favorable share of the assets as compensation.
But it could not force Matheo to walk away empty–handed.
If she wanted him to leave with nothing, the only way was through mutual agreement and a signed settlement between the two of them.
And judging from the current situation, there was no way Matheo would play nice and willingly give up his claim.
Sienna narrowed her eyes, studying the cold, ruthless man before her.
She had hoped to scare him into submission with sharp words and pressure tactics. But clearly, she had underestimated just how thick–skinned Matheo could be.
He was not buying any of it.
“Oh, right,” Matheo said, noticing the darkening look on Sienna’s face. A smug glint flickered in his eyes as the corners of his lips lifted ever so slightly. “I suppose you thought I spent all those years in the Ginger family doing nothing?”
All those years of walking on eggshells and carefully laying the groundwork, many of the company’s assets were now under Matheo’s effective control. He had his own network of influence, people who answered only to him.
Those were the assets that would not be split in any divorce.
And much of the money had long since been transferred by all possible means.
Sienna gave a cold chuckle, her voice lined with scorn as she stared at the man she once loved. “You think I don’t know what you’ve done?”
The reason she had waited this long and the reason she had not made a single move earlier was precisely because she did not want to alert him. She needed time to trace the money and to reclaim control of the assets he had stolen.
“But don’t get too comfortable,” she said, eyes sharp as blades. “You really think everything in your hands is secure?”
Matheo’s smugness faltered. Her sudden shift in tone made something cold slither down his spine.
“What do you mean by that?” he asked, forcing a smirk.
“Exactly what I said.” Sienna’s voice was calm but icy.
Then she turned to Jean, her expression softening. She took her daughter’s hand gently. “Let’s go home.”
Jean gave Matheo a glance, then obediently followed her mother out.
This divorce war had only just begun, but the smoke of battle was already thick in the air.

News of Matheo’s affair and the existence of his illegitimate daughter exploded across every major media outlet.
The reports were detailed. Painfully so. They included everything from how Matheo met the other woman to where the child was born and even where she was raised.
The Ginger family, being such a prominent name in high society, instantly became the center of attention. Gossip spread like wildfire.
“Of course it’s the rich. They’re always the most scandalous.”
“The richer they are, the crazier they get.”
“The
upper circles are such a mess. LOL”
“This guy climbed the ladder by marrying rich, and he still cheats? Scum.”
“Please don’t forgive him. Divorce him ASAP.”
“Looks decent but acts disgusting.”
“Women have it so hard. We earn the money, raise the kids, and still get betrayed.”
“If I married into a wealthy family, I’d be the perfect husband. Zero cheating, I swear.”
“So is she divorcing him or not? If not, don’t bother telling the internet.”
“He just made the ‘mistake all men make. Not worth all this drama.”
The very next day…
Matheo’s phone rang. It was one of his informants inside the Ginger Group.
His connections, the influence he had spent years cultivating, were all gone. His allies had been dismissed, ousted from the boardroom.
Obviously, it was Sienna’s doing.
