The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 709

By the end of it all, Sierra couldn't keep her emotions in check. She took deep breaths, reminding herself not to get angry. Getting worked up over a man like Samuel would only make her sick.

Samuel stared at her, but it was obvious she didn't believe a single word he'd said.

"Cee, do you really have to divorce me?"

"That's right. There's nothing left to talk about between us besides divorce."

She forced herself to stay calm. "Samuel, we've known each other for years. Let's end things on a decent note, okay? Don't make me turn things ugly.

"Oh, and here's a little advice. After we divorce, don't go ruining some other woman's life. The way you think and act will only hurt whoever ends up with you.

"You can't bring anyone happiness. All you'll ever do is make them feel drained, hurt, and miserable. If you really loved me, Samuel, you'd let me go."

"Cee, I'm not divorcing you. I'd rather die than sign the papers," Samuel growled, his eyes cold as he glared at her. "If you're hell-bent on divorcing me, then I want Sinclair Group from Sophia and all of your parents' assets. Otherwise, you can forget about it for the rest of your life."

"So that's your true colors and intention." Sierra laughed bitterly. "All this time, refusing to sign the papers, making Maggie call me nonstop-it was all about getting your hands on Sinclair Group and my parents' assets.

"Well, that's too bad. I'm divorcing you, and not a dime of that money will go to you. If you won't let this end cleanly, then fine. We'll see how far this goes.

"Mathilda, let's go.

"Maggie, come with me for a second."

Sierra stood and walked out. Maggie quickly followed.
