The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1453

"I doubt Noah can afford a divorce. Don't forget his high net worth. If he filed for divorce, he'd have to split his assets with you. And it's not just cash—he'd also need to give up half of his shares.

"That would be a massive blow to the Whitman family. Even if Noah agreed to the divorce, the wise Mr. Whitman Senior wouldn't let it happen," Tamia explained.

She had thoroughly analyzed such situations, though her tactics were underhanded.

Given Noah's past credentials, Tamia knew that he would never consider Ophelia, so she set him up. The Whitmans valued their reputation, and Noah was a responsible man. Naturally, Ophelia married into the family.

Tamia's tactic proved to be effective over the years. Otherwise, Cyrus wouldn't have held her in high regard.

Novel readers would surely recognize the tactic mentioned. To put it simply, it was when a woman schemed to have a night with the man she desired.

Swayed by Tamia's words, Ophelia decided to first discuss with Marie and Wynter. If that didn't work out, she would turn to Noah. After all, he wouldn't dare to divorce her.

Pleased that Ophelia had figured things out, Tamia urged her to proceed with the plan. Meanwhile, she intended to review her stock investments in the afternoon.

She had been so frustrated with Cyrus' affairs that she only came to a realization then—Alejandro didn't inform her about such a major incident.

For the first time, Tamia felt an unfamiliar sense of discomfort. She had lived long enough to know about Alejandro's backers, including the one who had intentionally retained the land in Valen Village.

…

Meanwhile, an unsettling feeling stirred within Kenton. Each tick of the clock seemed to fray his nerves further, and his associates were equally anxious to speak.

When the clock chimed on time, someone exclaimed, "It's 1:00 pm, Mr. Wray! The stock market's open!"

Kenton swiftly accessed the website and refreshed the webpage to check the latest stock trends. His associates eagerly gathered around his desk.
