Allen stayed quiet, glancing toward Zane. “What do you think?”

Zane hesitated, then spoke calmly but firmly. “That's not happening, Joanne. If you don’t want the divorce, then

we won't divorce.

“But stop causing trouble for them. If you keep pushing, I'll have no choice but to end this.”

He paused, his tone tightening.

“You've been holding onto this resentment over Luna for years... but have you ever stopped to consider your

own part in all this?

“We raised her together. If she turned out ungrateful, that’s on both of us. I'm to blame. But so are you. And so is

Alden. You can’t dump all that anger on Kaia.”

Zane's voice softened slightly.

“She’s pregnant now. For her sake-and yours-1'm keeping you two apart. If you lose your temper and pull

something like Luna did, you'll only end up hurting yourself.”

Higwords hit Allen harder than expected.

He was tired of Joanne’s constant battles, the endless she stirred up.

Across from them, Joanne sat frozen. Her lips trembled, tears sliding down her cheeks. “I've been part of the

Graves family for years. Am | worth less than Kaia?”

Allen let out a long, exhausted sigh. “Why are you even comparing yourselves? You've been comparing since day

one.

“And now look-our son’s living halfway across the world because he couldn't take it anymore.”

Joanne’s expression shifted. Regret mixed with something else -a strange, fragile kind of relief.

Maybe... if the damage was already done, there was no point clinging to the wreckage. Staying would only mean

dragging things out, making everyone miserable.

Wordlessly, Joanne reached for the divorce papers in front of her.

“Fine,” she said at last, voice cracking. “I'll sign.”

Kaia hadn't planned to go, but since her assistant was one of the newcomers, she didn’t want to seem like she

had a problem with him.

So she texted Lucien.

[Dinner with the firm tonight. I'll be hlate. Don’t worry, | won't eat anything weird or touch alcohol.]

She waited a bit, but when no reply came, she let it go.

At the TV station, Lucien, sharp in his suit, was giving an interview to a new media outlet.

It was his first interview in years, surprising even Frank, who couldn't figure out why Lucien agreed to it.

The reporter was thrilled. This was a rare exclusive with the Graves Group's president.

Nervous but excited, he wrapped up the interview without slipping up.

Lucien wasn't as cold as he'd expected, even flashing a tight 44 pdélite smile now and then.

The reporter was over the moon.

At the end of the interview, feeling a bit too bold, the reporter asked, “Mr. Graves, | hear Mrs. Graves is

expecting. Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?”

Lucien’s usual stern expression softened. “Either’s fine. But... my wife's carrying twins.”

The reporter chuckled, but then hesitated, sensing something

shift.

“Mr. Graves, you're truly blessed. Most couples stress about a second child, but that’s probably not an issue for

you. | heard Mrs. Graves is a bit younger-if it's two boys or two girls, would you consider a third?”

Lucien’s expression turned ice-cold in an instant.

“What's that supposed to mean?” His voice was dangerously quiet.

“My wife isn’t sbreeding machine. If it happens naturally, and we both want it, fine. But | won't let her suffer

just to satisfy anyone's expectations.”

The reporter shrank under Lucien’s glare.

“Mr. Graves, you clearly adore Mrs. Graves. No wonder people say older men with younger wives tend to spoil

them more...”

And that did it.

Lucien’s look wasn’t just cold now-it was murderous. Like he was two seconds away from physically throwing the

reporter out of the room.

“Mr. Graves...”

But Lucien had already stood up and stormed out of the studio, face thunderous.

The reporter, pale and shaking, turned to his producer. “Boss... did | screw that up?”

“You think?!” his boss snapped. “Why the hell did you bring up the age gap? Do you even know how to do your

job?”

Meanwhile, in the car, Lucien was still seething.

“Make sure they cut that last part from the interview,” he said through gritted teeth. “If they air it, sue them until

they're bankrupt.”

Frank sat stiff as a board. “Yes, Mr. Graves.”

He calmed down and saw Kaia’s message.

Two hours later, Kaia got his reply.

[Honey, I'm free tonight. Mind if | tag along?]

Kaia had no choice but to agree.
