The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call (Wynter Quinnell) novel Chapter 1472

Rodrigo stated, "I'm a representative from the legal department, Mrs. Whitman. Mr. Whitman has entrusted me entirely with handling your divorce matters. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

With her eyes reddening, Ophelia shot back, "Why should I ask you about our affairs? Get Noah on the line right now! Do you hear—"

Before she could finish her words, Tamia abruptly ended the call and grabbed her shoulder. "You're a member of the Montclair family, but look at you now!"

"Did you hear that, Mom? Noah actually sought legal advice. He really wants to divorce me!" Ophelia exclaimed with trembling hands.

Tamia looked at her distraught face and stated, "I heard him, which is why I intervened. Noah prepared those documents as soon as you mentioned divorce. I'd say he's been planning this for a while.

"No wonder he didn't ask you anything about the incident at the Whitman residence. He acted caring just to deceive me! If he's treating you this way, then go with the flow.

"I'd like to see if the Whitmans are steadfast in crossing the Monctlair family. Once you're divorced, they won't have full control of the shares!"

"But I don't want a divorce, Mom!" Ophelia cried, gripping Tamia's arm. She deeply regretted bringing up the idea of divorce to Noah.

Holding Ophelia's hand, Tamia comforted her, "I know, but what matters now is keeping your cool in this situation. Remember, the Whitman family can't afford a divorce. Leave everything to me.

"If Noah insists on going through it, he'd have to give up half his wealth and shares to you. There's nothing to fear. Tell me, do you think the Whitman family could retain their glory after losing their shares?"

Ophelia shook her head, seemingly coming to a realization.

Tamia believed she had a clear insight and assumed a piece of land wouldn't impact the Wray family.

Little did she know that certain truths were kept under wraps. For instance, no one would openly admit to suffering losses in stocks, especially not Kenton's associates.

Those individuals were operating small businesses. If word about their failed investments went out, their businesses would swiftly crumble.

They had been covering for each other while discreetly seeking loans from the bank. If they could just hold on for a month without a cash flow crisis, they might still stay afloat.

Of course, Tamia remained blissfully unaware of that.
