Ex-Husband’s Love Dilemma

Chapter 48

Before that, Orlando said in a low voice, “Grandpa, Cassandra, and I haven’t divorced yet. By divorcing, not only will I be embarrassed, but the entire Quinn family will also be embarrassed.””

“Hmph! Are you threatening me?” Peter retorted.

Orlando replied, “I’m just stating the facts to you.”

There was a sense of gravity in his words, accompanied by a slight frown and a touch of resigned indifference.

Peter said lightly, “Don’t think you can threaten me with that. It won’t be easy to humiliate the Quinn family.”

“You’re right, Grandpa. But when there’s too much gossip, it’ll mislead people, especially now that Quinn Group’s new project has officially started. Many eyes are on this project, and numerous businesses are trying to bring us down. We must be cautious with our words and actions now, don’t you think?” Orlando’s expression was solemn, his gaze serious. He said all those not for himself but for the sake of Quinn Group.

He added, “To avoid affecting the influence and interests of Quinn Group, I’ll keep things as they are with Cassandra for now. As for the divorce, we can only consider it after this project is completed”

Frederick chimed in. “Dad, I think what Orlando said makes sense. Quinn Group has been at the top for too long. While we may seem tough, it’s not wise to take unnecessary risks.”

Peter fell silent upon hearing that. He then instinctively looked at Cassandra.

Cassandra pursed her lips, her expression serious. She calmly stated, “Orlando and I never publicly announced our marriage. Only a few people know about it. Even if we divorce, it won’t have much impact, right? Besides, I don’t want any shares from Quinn Group, so it won’t affect the company at all.”

Her analysis was methodical and rational.

The atmosphere quieted as a hush settled in. Cassandra glanced at Peter before fixing her gaze on Orlando.

Their eyes met. His gaze had a subtle gentleness, and his tone was even calmer. “No secret can remain hidden forever. Although our divorce hasn’t been publicly disclosed, can you guarantee the Jackson family won’t reveal it? Moreover, you’ve said yourself that your family disagrees with our divorce. Can you ensure their absolute silence?”

Would the Jackson family be on Cassandra’s side?
