Chapter 504:
But everything was different now. Her perspective had changed, and she sincerely worried that Helena might still be weighed down by sorrow, possibly to the point of harming her own mental health.
Before Helena could reassure her or offer an explanation, the door to their private room suddenly burst open with a loud crash. All three women flinched in surprise and turned their heads toward the entrance, only to frown in unison as they saw who it was.
“Why are you here?” Savannah’s voice cut sharply, laced with irritation as she stared at the man who was almost out of her life.
Gregg scoffed. “Why am I here? I had to show up, or else you’d drag all our dirty secrets into the spotlight p>
Gregg raised an eyebrow, speaking with that smug superiority that always made him sound like he was lecturing a child. Savannah gave him a look that could have curdled milk. “So you do realize how dirty your actions have been. That’s new p>
“You—” Gregg began, but his voice faltered. He glanced at the two women sitting beside Savannah and bit back the rest of his fury. Instead, he took a deep breath and spoke in a gentler tone. “Savannah, we’ve been married for more than twenty years. Do we really need to make a public mess out of this p>
When she didn’t respond, he continued, “You’re doing all this to get my attention, right? If that’s what you want, fine. I’ll end things with the woman I’ve been seeing. I’ll stay with you. We can fix this. Isn’t that what you want p>
Helena’s face darkened. She was ready to call him out, but Valeria placed a hand on her arm, stopping her.
Silence hung for a moment before Savannah’s voice rang out, calm but biting. “Gregg Prescott, you underestimate me and overestimate yourself. You really think my request for a divorce is to win you back? You actually believe I’d fight for a man who can’t even stay loyal p>
“You p>
Before Gregg could finish, Savannah shut him down cold. “I want you to hear me, and I want both of them to hear it too. I’m not bluffing, and I’m not playing games. I want a divorce. For real. For good. I’d rather live by myself than spend another day under the same roof with you p>
“How could you!” Gregg’s face turned red as fury took hold.
He clenched his fists, struggling to rein in his temper. “Savannah, are you really willing to throw away everything? The years we shared? The name of the Prescott family? What about Leonino p>

“Don’t you dare mention Leonino!” Savannah shot back. “He’s the one pushing hardest for the divorce. Half the reason I’m walking away is him p>
“You, you’re just…” Gregg’s mouth opened, but no words followed. His breathing grew uneven as frustration bubbled beneath the surface. Still clinging to the hope of avoiding divorce, he dared not irritate Savannah too much and instead turned away.
Gregg unleashed the full weight of his fury on Valeria. “This is your fault! You couldn’t seduce my son, and now you’re taking it out on us by trying to wreck our family p>
Valeria stood up from her seat, ready to respond, but Helena quickly stepped between them. Her eyes narrowed, and her tone cut through the air like a blade. “I call you Mr. Prescott out of respect for Leonino. So act like someone worthy of that title, and stop spewing trash p>
