Chapter 436

Heinrich kicked Alex back with a sneer. "Great. A bastard and a desperate woman. You two really make this place reek."

Sofina's eyes filled with tears. "Heinrich, I've been with you for three years. I did everything for you. I cooked, worked, sacrificed everything so you could succeed."

Heinrich tilted his head, feigning confusion.

"Did I ever ask you to?" Heinrich's voice cut through the air, sharp and mocking.

"No, Sofina. You did all of that on your own. You pushed yourself to serve me, hoping it would make you feel needed. Let's be honest-you weren't helping me, you were chasing your own little sense of happiness. I was already generous enough to let someone like you stay by my side."

A ripple of laughter spread through the room.

"Unbelievable," one man muttered. "Heinrich actually spent three years with her. She should be grateful for that."

Another woman smirked. "Yeah, he gave her three years, and now she still wants to hold onto him? What a greedy fool."

"She's delusional," someone else said. "Does she even realize who she's talking to? Heinrich is one of Winchester's rising stars—every elite family's after him. She's nothing compared to that."

Heinrich smoothed his suit, the smug grin never leaving his face. "You hear that, Sofina? Everyone wants me. They're fighting to have me as their husband."

He stepped closer, lowering his voice until it was almost a whisper-cold, deliberate. "Now tell me... have you ever looked at yourself and wondered what you really are compared to them?"

Sofina's voice cracked. "Three years, Heinrich. When you are still nothing! I sold my parents' house so you could study at that prestigious university. I worked full- time to fund your equipment."
