Chapter 8

"Zoran, I'm gone for just one day and you think I'm dead? Seems like your mental illness is even worse than mine."

Zoran Smith's face was deathly pale, without a hint of color.

He shook his head desperately,

"Impossible... impossible!

"You... you... who are you! This can't be!"

The crowd below didn't dare to breathe, until Nolan spoke up.

"Everyone, thank my brother-in-law for gathering us all here today."

My brother reached out and took my hand, the warmth from his palm transferring to mine.

"My sister Emily and I indeed have two announcements to make—"

"First, we're revoking all of Zoran Smith's shares and removing him from the company."

"Second, this is more of a personal matter."

My brother looked at me, and I silently nodded to him.

"My sister Scarlett and Zoran Smith will be filing for divorce effective immediately. From now on, both professionally and personally, Zoran Smith will have no further connection to the Lin family."
