They Thought I Was Weak, So I Threw Them All Out Chapter 08

Preston finally signed the divorce papers.

As we stood outside the courthouse, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at me.

“Sienna, did these past few months mean absolutely nothing to you? Did you never feel a single thing for me?”

I knit my brows, looking at him with genuine distaste.

“You are neither competent nor faithful, Preston. I have eyes. Why would I ever develop feelings for someone like you?”

His entire body stiffened. “Do you always have to be so incredibly brutal?”

I turned around and walked toward my car without looking back.

“The truth hurts. Deal with it.”

News of our divorce spread through the elite circles like wildfire.

People were undoubtedly talking, but I couldn’t care less.

No one possessed the courage to bring that gossip to my face.”

Instead, a never-ending line of wealthy suitors immediately began trying to secure a new alliance

with me.

I didn’t actively try to crush the Quinn Group, but their downfall was inevitable anyway.

Stripped of the Riley Group’s technology and cut loose from the Sterling safety net, their competitors tore them to pieces while former allies actively kicked them while they were down.

I completely ignored the drama, entirely consumed by the massive rollout of our new AI partnership.

One evening, the front gate intercom at my estate wouldn’t stop ringing.

My security team informed me that a Ms. Locke was demanding to see me.

I walked down to the courtyard and signaled the guard to open the gate.

“Preston!”

Chloe’s face was filled with pure joy, which instantly evaporated into sheer shock the moment she

“Why are you still here?”

I raised an eyebrow at her.

“This is my estate. Why wouldn’t I be here?”

Chloe’s expression turned wild with anger. “The two of you are divorced! You have absolutely no right to live in his house!”

She paused, as if convincing herself of her own logic.

“I get it now. Preston wanted to leave you, so you forced him to give you this property as a settlement! He’s going through hell right now, and you’re just a shameless parasite!”

My head housekeeper couldn’t restrain herself any longer.

“Watch your mouth!”

“Ms. Sterling purchased this entire estate with her own capital. It has absolutely nothing to do with

the Quinn family.”

Chloe blinked, looking completely lost. “Ms… Ms. Sterling?”

I took a slow step toward her.

“Let me introduce myself properly. I am Sienna Sterling, CEO and sole owner of the Sterling

Group.”

Chloe’s brain seemed to completely short-circuit.

“The Sterling Group?”

I gave a simple nod. “Yes. The exact one you’re thinking of.”

Chloe shook her head violently, completely unable to process reality.

“That’s impossible. You’re just a woman who used a rich man for his money.”

“If you’re actually the head of the Sterling family, why would Preston ever divorce you?”

I looked at her with pure pity.

“Because I was the one who cast him aside.”

“The man you’ve been desperately trying to climb over came to my family estate begging for an alliance more times than I can count.”

“He was the corporate parasite, not me.”

The revelation broke her completely, leaving her trembling on the driveway.

I had no interest in wasting another second on her.

“Get off my property before I have security remove you for trespassing.”

Chloe suddenly snapped her head up, staring at me. “Did you force Preston to fire me?”

I let out a small laugh. “He actually fired you?”

My genuine surprise told her everything she needed to know.

Chloe’s face turned completely white. She let out a bitter, hollow laugh and began walking away.

But after a few steps, she spun around to yell back at me.

“Don’t look down on me! You were just lucky to be born into the right family!”

“If you had started from the bottom like me, Preston would have chosen me over you in a

heartbeat!”
