Chapter 4 With that , I didnt wait for Camilas reaction . I grabbed my briefcase and turned to leave . I decided to go home and pack my bags . It was time to end this whole charade . But I had barely started packing when the door was flung open with a bang . Camila stormed in , fuming , and pointed a finger at me , unleashing a torrent of rage . Rylan , have you lost your mind today ? Humiliating me in 3:21 < front of all those people , have you forgotten that youre just my live in husband ? Oliver trailed behind her , his face a mask of feigned concern . Langley , I wanted to speak up for you , but you really went too far today . Is it because Camila and I are close that you feel threatened ? We really are just colleagues . If you insist on misunderstanding us , theres nothing I can do . I dont want to be the other man , I might as well leave . Oliver made a show of leaving , but his steps were as slow as a snails . Camila immediately grabbed his arm , her voice a soothing balm . Oliver , youre right . Hes just a live in husband . Who is he to tell you to leave ? Then , she whirled around to face me , her teeth gritted . Rylan , you have disappointed me so much . Youve changed . Youve become disgusting ! If you dont apologize to Oliver , Ill kick you out of this house ! I clenched my fists , my nails digging into my palms . It wasnt the first time shed threatened me with divorce . Ever since Oliver returned to the country , every time we argued because of him , shed dangle the threat of expulsion from the Winthrop family over my head . Back then , like a fool , I believed she truly loved me , and I gave in time and time again . I always thought that one day , she would see me as her real husband . Now that I think about it , I was truly blind . I didnt need a woman like this in my life ! Seeing my silence , Camila assumed I was about to back down again . She tossed her hair triumphantly , her voice dripping with arrogance . Actually , I dont necessarily want to kick you out . As long as you and Oliver … I cut her off . Cut the crap . Ill leave on my own . Lets get a divorce . Camila was thunderstruck , her mouth agape , unable to utter a word . Oliver quickly stepped in to smooth things over . Langley , even if youre angry , you cant joke about divorce ! I pulled a divorce agreement from my bag and slapped it on the table . Im not joking . Sign it , I said coldly . Lets end this once and for all . Camila finally realized I was serious . She pointed at me , her finger trembling with rage . Fine ! she shrieked . Get out ! Get out and regret it ! A gleam of triumph flickered in Olivers eyes , but he feigned concern . Langley , you need to think this through . Youre the member of the Winthrop family . Once you divorce , youll lose that status . In this circle , who dares to disrespect Mr. Winthrop ? Without the Winthrop family , what will you have left ? His implication was clear . Oliver was reminding me I was nothing without the Winthrop family . Everything I had came from Camila and her family . Camila , emboldened , chimed in , Exactly ! Some people are truly clueless . You , a good for nothing , who would want you if it werent for the opportunities given by the Winthrop family ? You couldnt even handle this project , but Oliver managed it effortlessly . Once Oldoms performance is complete , our company will skyrocket ! I let out a scornful laugh . Skyrocket ? They were headed for bankruptcy ! Without my core program , Oliver , with his amateur skills , wouldnt even be able to synchronize ten thousand drones , let alone make them perform . The Oldom royal family wasnt to be trifled with . When the project failed , the company would be ruined . Just then , Camilas phone suddenly rang . She shot me a provocative look , her face full of smugness . Look , she boasted , its the Crown Princes secretary . Once this money comes through , Im taking Oliver on a vacation ! And you ? You can just go cry in your crummy little rental ! She deliberately put the phone on speakerphone , eager to flaunt her supposed triumph . A second later , a furious roar erupted from the phone . < You bunch of useless idiots ! This is the performance you bragged was worth billions ? You cant even get it to fly in a test run ?! How dare you try to scam me ! I swear I wont rest until Ive destroyed your company !!
