They Thought I Was Weak, So I Threw Them All Out Chapter 05

They Thought I Was Weak, So I Threw Them All Out Chapter 05

The following afternoon, I arrived at the Quinn corporate headquarters with the finalized divorce

paperwork in hand.

Since our marriage, I had visited the office frequently, and the receptionist knew exactly who I was.

Yet this time, she stepped out to block my path.

“Mrs. Quinn, the CEO is currently in a high-profile meeting. Ms. Locke gave strict instructions that

no one is allowed upstairs.”

“Oh? Does that include me?”

The receptionist gave me a dismissive, condescending look.

“It includes everyone. The CEO explicitly stated that Ms. Locke’s word is absolute.”

I nodded calmly, offering no argument.

Instead, I turned around, got back into my car,’ and drove straight to the Quinn family estate.

It didn’t take long for Preston to come tearing into the mansion, looking frantic.

I raised an eyebrow at him.

“Wow. That meeting wrapped up fast, didn’t it?”

Preston’s face was completely dark. “Sienna, you seemed so tough when you kicked me out yesterday. Why are you running to my father the second you want to see me?”

“Apologize to me right now, and I might consider letting yesterday’s stunt slide.”

Before he could finish, his father smacked him hard across the back of the head.

“Watch your mouth when you speak to Sienna!”

His mother rushed over to soothe me.

“Sienna, please don’t be upset. We will handle this arrogant boy.”

I waved her off calmly.

“There’s no need. I’ll handle him myself. Please excuse us.”

His mother cast a worried look at her son.

“Alright Just speak nicely to each other. Don’t let a small fight ruin your marriage.”

The moment his parents stepped out of the room, I slammed the divorce agreement down on the

table right in front of him.

“Sign it.”

Preston blinked in confusion, but as he read the title of the document, his eyes widened in sheer

shock.

“You’re divorcing me?”

I gave a simple nod.

‘Are you insane?” he stammered, completely incredulous. “Just because I let Chloe take a shower at our place? Nothing even happened between us!”

“You’re throwing our entire marriage away over your pathetic jealousy?”

“We’ve only been married a few months. Do you have any idea how bad this will look to the public?”

I locked eyes with him.

“Preston, I told you that was your last chance.”

“I don’t care whether anything physical happened. The issue is that you explicitly allowed your

assistant to disrespect me.”

“And you allowed your corporate staff to lock me out of my own alliance’s building.”

Preston shook his head quickly. “No, that was only because you humiliated me yesterday! I just

wanted to teach you a lesson and regain some respect.”

I burst out laughing.

“Teach me a lesson? You think you’re qualified to demand respect from me?”

“Do you think I don’t know about the narrative you’ve been pushing? You’ve been subtly letting

everyone think I’m just a lucky trophy wife who relies entirely on you.”

“Without your explicit permission, would those servants have dared talk back to me? Would your petty assistant dare challenge me to my face? Would your receptionist have dared turn me away?”

“You’re so terrified of people discovering that you’re just a parasite riding my coattails. Our

marriage has made you incredibly insecure, hasn’t it?”

The words struck a massive blow to his fragile ego. His face turned a deep, furious shade of red, but

he couldn’t find a single word to refute me.

Finally, he spat out a weak defense.

“You don’t act like a high-society wife at all!”

I let out a sharp laugh.

“Preston, are you still blind?”

“I am the sole heiress and current ruler of the Sterling empire. Compared to me, your family isn’t

even in the same league.”

“You’re lecturing me on how to be a high-society wife when your own parents have to bow down and cater to my every whim?”

Preston’s face contorted further.

In a fit of blind rage, he grabbed the agreement, crumpling it into a tight ball.

“I don’t care how high and mighty you think you are! I am not signing these papers. No matter how elite you are, you’re legally bound to me!”

His desperate attempt to trap me was genuinely pathetic.

Did he honestly believe a piece of paper could control me?

“A marriage certificate is just a piece of paper,” I said smoothly, picking up my bag. “Only the weak

view it as leverage.”

With that, I turned around and walked out.

Behind me, the sharp sound of a glass shattering echoed through the room.

It was the textbook tantrum of a powerless man.

The moment I stepped out of the estate, my phone rang.

“Sienna, I’ve finalized everything on our end. Are you free tomorrow? I want to catch the next flight

to the States. I can’t wait another minute.”

I paused for a brief second.

“I’ll see you tomorrow then.”

Twirling my car keys, I felt a slight twinge of pity.

Given our alliance, & would have happily ensured a win-win scenario for both our families.

But since Preston insisted on playing stupid games, he would have to suffer the consequences.
