“My sister is still young. For the love of our grandmother, please let this go. I apologize on her behalf.”
With a snort, Hannah replied, “So, you can apologize. That’s odd.”
Barely containing his frustration, Declan forced down his anger.
“Sadie is in the wrong, no doubt. If you have further conditions, lay them out. I’ll agree to anything if it means making amends.”
“Alright then,” Hannah said calmly.
“Meet me at the courthouse tomorrow at 8:30. If you bail on me, you can forget about me signing the letter of forgiveness.”
With that, she ended the call, not allowing Declan any room to reply.
Declan’s eyes took on a menacing glare, his hand gripping the phone so tightly that his veins protruded.
Beside him, Leah questioned nervously, “Well? Did that bitch agree to release your sister?”
‘s
“Yes,” Declan replied, his face growing stormy.
“She wants to meet at the courthouse tomorrow to finalize our divorce and complete the 20% share transfer agreement for Edwards Group.”

Eliana, overhearing that Hannah was planning to divorce Declan, discreetly rejoiced and clung to Declan’s arm.
“Wow, she’s really putting your sister’s reputation on the line. I never thought Miss Moore would use that as leverage.”
Fuming, Leah blurted out, “That audacious woman! Demanding 20% of the company shares? Let me give her a piece of my mind!”
Declan snapped, “Mom, if you want Sadie to end up in prison, go ahead and call her!”
Taken aback by Declan’s outburst, Leah was rendered speechless for a moment.
“Declan, I understand you’re upset, but you can’t speak to your mother like that.” Eliana softly reassured Leah.
“He’s been under a lot of stress lately because of Sadie’s situation and the business.
Please don’t be too harsh on him.”
She playfully nudged Declan’s arm.
“Don’t worry, Declan. I’m with you all the way.”
Easing up a bit, Declan looked at Eliana.
“I’ll marry you soon, right after the divorce is final.”
Eliana smiled warmly and said, “I believe you.”
