Chapter 604

“Do you think I’m oblivious, Sasha? Do you really think I’m too old to see what you’ve been doing behind my back?” Jim snapped.

Jim was being wheeled into the room by a nurse. On the surface, he looked steady, but Rachel could tell he was pushing himself. He wasn’t fully healed, yet he came just to back her up.

Rachel’s heart clenched. She stared at him, emotions swirling.

Sasha froze, caught off guard by Jim’s sudden appearance, and stepped forward as if realizing something.

“Jim, after all these years together, you can doubt anyone else, but why me?”

Jim snorted coldly and shot her a hard look. “Sasha, we’re done. Divorce papers have already been sent to your place. When you see them, if everything checks out, just sign.”

Sasha’s eyes went wide. Disbelief was written all over her face.

“You want a divorce? Are you insane, Jim?! If we split, who’s going to take care of you?”

Jim’s laugh was bitter. “As if you’ve been caring for me while I’ve been in the hospital! No, it’s because I know you too well that I can see who you really are.”

Sasha took a deep breath and tried to steady herself.

“I don’t care what you say! I will never sign the divorce papers.”

She thought she had the upper hand, but Jim had planned this for a long time.

“Fine. If you won’t divorce, that’s your choice. But you won’t touch a single penny of the family fortune. And as for our son? If you can raise him, it’s all on you.”

Sasha trembled with rage while pointing a finger at him.

“Jim, you’re completely out of your mind! You’d throw away your daughter for Rachel, your illegitimate child, and abandon your son? She’ll get married one day! How can you possibly rely on her?”

Jim’s eyes softened with a tinge of sorrow. Rachel saw the bitter edge at the corners of his mouth.

“I can’t even rely on a wife I’ve been with for decades. Who else could I? When Yvette came back, I tried to make up for the past. I let my father push Rachel out of the house, tried to keep family dinners together…. but what about Rachel?

“And what did I get in the end? Yvette is cold–hearted, obsessed with money and power, ignores family, and even plotted against her own father. Does she even deserve our family name?”

He coughed into his hand, pale and weak.

“Dad, please go rest. Don’t push yourself. These things can wait,” Rachel said worriedly.

Jim raised a hand, determined.

“No. I have to finish this.”

He turned to Yvette, voice icy and unwavering.

“Yvette, as of today, you’re demoted to a regular manager. You will never hold an executive position again. The inheritance will be distributed based on your performance, fair and square. Don’t like it? Walk away.”
