“Explain to me why that news is all over the internet. Did you already forget what I told you last time? What were you thinking, Matthew? You said you were going to think things through and have a chat with Stella, did you not? So this is the result of your talk?”
Lucia scolded.
“Grandma, you need to calm down please. Helplessness filled his voice.
“Calm down, you say? I have been calm! And if I continue to be, I won’t have a granddaughter-in-law anymore!” she said sternly, not giving any room for argument.
“I just want the truth, Matthew. Do you really want a divorce?”
“I do. My mind is made up.” His tone was determined.
Lucia’s heart was torn apart.
“You really get on my nerves, Matthew!
Oh God… My stunning granddaughter-in-Law… My future great-grandson…
You’re ruining everything…”
“I beg of you, Grandma. My mind has been made up already. I would really appreciate it if you could just respect my decision…” This time Matthew wasn’t compromising. He let a few seconds pass before adding, “And maybe that’s what she wants too.”

Matthew had no will to tell the truth. He slowly answered, “I got you a gift in Highwyn, Grandma. I will come to meet you when it’s all sorted out. Just stop worrying.”
“I have no interest in your gift. All I want is—”
“I have to hang up, Grandma, I have a lot of things to do…”
Matthew interrupted, not allowing her to finish.
“You should rest.
It’s still very early.”
He immediately hung up.
Lucia stared at the phone in disbelief and sighed. She was powerless.
That evening, in Seamarsh, public opinion had been reversed once more.
The Facebook page of Prosperity Group explained the news with a statement.
“Last night, a rumor about the divorce of our CEO, Matthew Clark, spread like wildfire. It is nothing more than a fake report.
Their relationship is very stable. Mr. Clark established a charity foundation in her name. He also spent five hundred million on the auction and proceeded to purchase the Star of Eden as a gift for Mrs. Clark. Mrs. Clark tends to keep a low profile, so I hope everyone doesn’t pay much attention to their private life.”
