They Thought I Was Weak, So I Threw Them All Out Chapter 06

They Thought I Was Weak, So I Threw Them All Out Chapter 06

The Sterling family’s newly launched venture required my absolute attention.

I spent the next several days completely buried in meetings, without a single thought about Preston’s whereabouts.

That changed when his close friend, Julian Vance, sent me a text message.

[Sienna, did you and Preston get into a huge fight?)

I replied with a simple question mark, unsure of his angle.

Julian immediately flooded my screen with photos.

I tapped on one, which appeared to be taken inside a lavish gala.

Preston was holding a cocktail glass, with Chloe, dressed in an elegant evening gown, clinging

tightly to his arm.

Garbage belongs in the dumpster; they truly looked perfect together.

[Preston has been parading this girl around all of our exclusive events lately. He’s even bringing her to major corporate galas.]

[Everyone is talking. The rumors about a divorce are everywhere.]

I let out a soft laugh and typed a quick response.

[The rumors are completely true. I want out, but Preston is desperately begging to stay married.]

The chat remained silent for a few seconds before Julian sent another message.

[Sienna, everyone knows he married up by securing you. The fact that he’s pulling a stunt like this without any respect for your name is insane. You’re completely justified in wanting a divorce.]

[If he doesn’t want to step up, plenty of other men would love the opportunity.]

[Once the paperwork goes through, would you consider grabbing a drink with me? I’m much more compliant than Preston.]

I stared at the screen, genuinely stunned.

Talk about direct.

Before I could even hink of a reply, Preston’s name flashed across my screen.

“Sienna, I assume you’ve heard the talk circulating through high society by now,” he sneered, his

tone dripping with arrogance.

“The media is going to pick up on this gossip any day now. If you don’t want to completely humiliate the Sterling name, you better fall back into line and play the part of my wife.”

“Everyone knows I’d rather take my assistant to a gala than my own high-and-mighty wife. Let’s see how much your pride can take.”

I let out a sharp laugh.

“Are you throwing a tantrum because I’ve completely ignored your little performance for the past few days?”

“Dragging that classless girl to elite corporate events doesn’t humiliate me-it only highlights how low your own standards are.”

“I am the absolute ruler of the Sterling empire. No one will ever respect me less just because I

skipped a party, but they are absolutely laughing at you for acting like a desperate clown.”

Without another word, I forwarded the screenshots of Julian’s texts straight to his phone.

“See that? The guy you grew up with seems to have a much better grasp on reality than you do.”

The breathing on the other end of the line turned incredibly heavy and erratic.

Then came a deafening roar.

“That absolute bastard! He’s trying to steal my

wife?”

I immediately pulled the phone away from my ear, disgusted by the sheer desperation in his voice.

Just as I was about to end the call, Preston spoke through gritted teeth.

“Sienna, I will never sign those papers. You’re stuck with me for the rest of your life.”

I raised an eyebrow.

What was he trying to be, a leech?

In that case, I had no problem shaking him off.

I hung up and placed a single phone call.

Within twelve hours, Preston called me back, completely frantic.

“Sienna, what the hell did you do?”
