My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 674:

Kristopher’s voice was hoarse as he replied, “I didn’t protect her. I’ll give you an explanation.”

Carrie’s bitter smile didn’t reach her eyes. “An explanation? What does that even mean? Sending her abroad to live in comfort as a privileged heiress? That’s hardly punishment.”

Disappointment flickered in her gaze as she took a step back. “Kristopher, when you agreed to the divorce, I thought you’d finally made a decision. I thought you’d chosen something.” Her words came sharp and final. “But you’re still the same. You want everything at once.”

Kristopher’s lips parted, but before he could respond, Carrie cut him off with a cold, clear voice. “And one more thing— I know Marina’s little stunt today was orchestrated by Aliza. I don’t have evidence yet, but that won’t stop me from dealing with her. I won’t let another Lise take root.”

With that, she turned sharply on her heel, her steps purposeful as she headed toward Reece. Her icy demeanor softened as she neared her cousin, a genuine smile lighting up her face.
