Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 189

But Eloise didn't flinch, not one bit. Instead, she scoffed, her voice laced with disbelief, "Really, now? You're pulling this card? Praised me for being smart and independent before saying 'I do', and now I'm 'too assertive'? What happened to your spine? Looking for your dignity in the shadow of a woman?"

"You! Divorce! I can't stand you anymore."

"Divorce it is, but let's get one thing straight-you're leaving with nothing. Everyone here saw your little performance. If you've got any shame left, you'll pack your bags and get out of my studio. Or else, I'll have the police on your case for stealing important documents." "You...on what grounds? I'm your husband! I want half of everything!" The man's face turned a deep shade of red, veins popping at his neck.
