Lily gave a calm smile. Nearly dying had left her with at newfound tranquility. âMark, even your daughter considers Amelie her mother. Just sign the papers and let them go find their âmomâ without any delay.â

âThatâs right. I only acknowledge Amelic as my mother. She treats me well. She lets me go to bars and supports me in any thing dangerous I want to do, not like you. You kept me trapped in some cozy greenhouse and wouldnât let me go lo bars; ride motorbikes with friends, stay at hotels or even date. Who would like a mother like that?
âAnd anyway, itâs the one whoâs unloved whoâs the mistress. My dad and Amelie are the ones who are truly in love.â
Lily took a deep breath. âI see. Well, since you donât like me, Iâm stepping aside for you, arenât I? If you can just convince your father to sign, we can get this divorce settled. Then no one will stop you from going to bars or to hotels with men. Youâll be completely free to do whatever you like.â
Jean was taken aback; she hadnât expected Lily to agree so casily.
In the past, every time Mark had proposed divorce, Lily had insisted she would never agree.
Now, with Lilyâs sudden willingness, Jean found herself at a loss.

But Lily didnât spare her another glance. Instead, she turned to Mark. âMark, you cheated first. If youâre hesitating, is it because you canât bear to part with my familyâs wealth or our partnership?â

âIâ¦â He certainly could not bear to lose the collaboration with Lilyâs family.
Those connections were what had built his company.
Lily was done wasting words. âMark, sign the papers. Your daughter is waiting impatiently.â
Jean bit her lip, looking at Lily. There was something unfamiliar in her gaze, a coldness that had never been there before.
As Mark hesitated, Lilyâs expression turned mocking. âMark, letâs end things cleanly. Youâve been living off my family for years now, isnât that enough?â
Markâs face went pale. Just as he was about to speak, Lily continued, âMark, so many people are watching. After a lifetime of living off someone elseâs wealth, donât you feel any shame?â
Mark bristled at her words, his anger boiling over.
He glared at Lily. Nothing infuriated him more than the idea of being a âkept man.â
In his mind, it was the most disgraceful role a man could play.
Heâd built his company on the strength of her familyâs influence But that didnât mean he was willing to be humiliated for it.

âLily, what nonsense are you talking about? No wonder the kids donât like you. Youâre showing such an ugly side of yourself now! You used to be harsh, but never this petty and cruel.â
Lily faced him, unbothered. âIâm not being cruel. Iâm just stating facts. The childrenâs dislike of me isnât due to poor parenting on my part. Itâs because of your mistress. I kept strict boundaries because I wanted them to have a good future. Their journey ahead is long, and I wanted them to be prepared for it. But what about the woman youâre involved with?
âWhatever I forbid, she encourages. I donât want my kids spending their time in bars, yet she fully supports it. How am I supposed to manage them under those circumstances? I canât.
âSo now, since my strictness is such a problem, Iâm stepping aside to let the person who loves them so dearly handle their upbringing.
âSo, Mark, Iâm letting you all go. Please sign the papers.â
