Chapter 469 Who Can Stand It?
The Gray Family.
Steven answered when he saw Salma’s call.
He spoke first. “Have you come to your senses?” Salma cried and said, “I have realized my mistake. I admit that I was wrong before.”
“I shouldn’t have been sentimental about our relationship for so many years and taken in Jodie again.”
“Honey, I want to go home.”
“I won’t let Jodie stay with us anymore. Let’s not get divorced, okay?” Steven didn’t expect her to call and
surrender.
But it did seem like her character.
He remained silent for a moment and said, “Sorry, It’s too late.
“I really can’t continue to be with you anymore.”
This was the truth. He feels a strong aversion towards his wife now.
Salma didn’t expect that lowering herself to seek reconciliation would be rejected.
Her voice became sharper. Is it because of Simone? Because of pleasing her, all of you treat me like this.”
“When she didn’t come back to Gray Family, our family was so harmonious.”

“Why did she have to come back? She… Before she could finish, Steven interrupted her, ‘Enough. I want a divorce from you. How can you bring Simone into this?”
Any softness he had left disappeared in her blaming words towards Simone.
“She is our biological daughter, and it’s because of Jodie that she was taken away.”
“And even if Simone didn’t return, as long as Jodie is here, she will cause trouble.”
“Our family’s luck has been taken away by her, and it’s impossible to return to the harmonious state we had before.”
“The so-called harmony and peace were all just a show. Don’t deceive yourself anymore.”
He took a deep breath and said, “It’s because of Jodie that I want a divorce. Don’t always blame the wrong person.
“Simone is no longer a part of the Gray Family, so don’t bring her into everything”
Simone was still his daughter in his heart.
But he can only say this in front of Salma so that she won’t direct all her anger towards Simone.

Salma was stunned for a moment, then shouted, “How can it be a show? I think you’re the one blaming others.”
Steven rubbed his temples and said, “Believe whatever you want, but I have made up my mind to divorce.”
“If you want to cling on and make a fuss, then I will have to take the initiative.”
“If you don’t believe me, you can check my social media later.
“If you still don’t sign the divorce agreement tomorrow, I will directly announce on the official Facebook page of Gray Group that I will sue for divorce.
“I believe that once this Facebook post is released, without me having to expose anything, those paparazzi will be able to dig up everything you’ve done.”
After being together for so many years, Salma knew what kind of person her husband was.
Upon hearing his heartless words, she felt upset, and her face turned pale.
She also knew that he was capable of doing such things. “Do you really have to be so cruel to me?” Steven sighed, “It’s not that I’m being cruel to you. It’s just that I can’t continue with you anymore.”
As Salma became more confused, her personality also became more bitter and sarcastic.
In the future, when their sons get married, she would constantly argue with their daughters-in-law. Who could tolerate that? He was also trying to prevent that from happening.
Salma had a strong sense of self-esteem, and now that Steven had reached this point, she knew that causing a scene would be useless.
Through gritted teeth, she said, “You’re cruel. 1 hate you!” Without even discussing whether she agreed to a divorce, she hung up the phone.
After a while, she checked her social media.
She saw the message Steven posted, which simply said, “We’re getting a divorce, expressing his determination in just four words.
He also announced the divorce publicly, making his intentions clear.
Salma felt heartbroken, and tears kept flowing.
She had been laughing at Melinda before but didn’t expect to follow in her footsteps and become another joke in their circle.
Salma had already given in, but Steven’s attitude remained firm.
She was also afraid of her actions being exposed.
And she had her dignity, too. She couldn’t bring herself to beg
her and plead.
So, the next day, she agreed to the divorce.
She asked Steven to print out the divorce agreement and bring it over, this time at a nearby café.

Steven didn’t waste any words. After sitting down, he took out the divorce agreement and placed it on the
table.
Salma picked it up and looked at it. Indeed, he was generous with the assets.
She decisively signed her name.
Then, Steven signed.
He took the divorce agreement, and although he didn’t feel good about it, he didn’t regret his decision.
“Even though you may not want to hear it or be able to accept it, I still want to say it one last time. Jodie is not as filial and good to you as she appears.”
“You should be careful with her, especially when it comes to your assets. Make sure you protect them and don’t let her deceive you.”
Salma looked at him coldly. “Mr. Gray, you don’t need to worry about that.”
Seeing her like this, Steven didn’t say anything else. “Fine. Goodbye!” Salma didn’t say anything, and Steven left with his lawyer.
Soon after, the news of the divorce between the chairman and his wife of the Gray Group was made public due to their emotional discord.
People in their circle were unsurprised because of Steven’s Facebook post on social media yesterday, whi the public was shocked.
Considering their age, divorce was quite unexpected.
Simone didn’t feel anything when she heard the news of their divorce.
It was their own choice, after all.
The next day, she went to report Salma for abduction, presenting herself as the victim.
The Wilson Family.
Tina blocked Samantha from entering, not allowing her to harass Chester.
“Shouldn’t you be with your long-time crush? Why did you come here? My half-brother works in the special department. If you want to be with that old man, I can ask him for help.”
Of course, this was just a sarcastic remark. She knew Samantha wouldn’t do it.
Sure enough, Samantha’s expression darkened.
She even glared at Tina. “I am your mother. Do you have to hurt me like this? I have also been deceived for
father.” so many years. I am also a victim! Let me in. I want to explain to your
A few days ago, Tina revealed that Mr. Lewis was the man she had loved for many years.
Initially, she was skeptical. The man she had loved was attractive and charismatic.

Despite being over 40 years old, he appeared and possessed the vitality of a man m
How could he be so old?
However, Tina presented a DNA test with Mr. Lewis and a video where he confessed to having multiple affairs, claiming that he sought to steal their luck and extend his life.
She found it hard to believe, so she felt compelled to visit the special department personally to verify it.
Through Tina’s half-brother, she did indeed see the man.
He had aged terribly, looking unattractive, but he admitted to being the person she had loved.
He also revealed some intimate details that only the two of them knew.
At that moment, Tina lost control and even tore his clothes. I
From his back, she saw the birthmark that she had used to scratch when they were together.
She collapsed on the spot.
All notions of love and continuing to love him were expelled from her mind.
She simply felt repulsed, realizing that she had been deceived by such an elderly man for so many years.
After careful consideration, she realized that Chester was still the better choice.
Especially after the divorce, her family harassed her and took away most of her money.
She didn’t want to be alone; she desired someone to rely on.
She heard that Chester’s illness had been cured, so she approached him seeking reconciliation.
However, Chester coldly rejected her, and Tina even kicked her out of the house,
Every time she visited, Tina would block her at the door.
She even spread rumors about her actions, causing the neighbors to gossip about her.
But she endured it. Now, she only had one thought: she wanted to remarry Chester.
She would never cheat again and would live a good life with him.
