Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 247

Silas looked at her, and felt incredibly amused. "You thought you could pull over on the chairman with your tricks? When the chairman first brought you into the Galeana family, it was partly out of guilt for Ms Emma. He's taken care of her for years, especially given her condition with her broken legs. The doctors even said she might end up disabled. The other reason is he didn't want mishaps to threaten Ms Ines. He's a proud man. After you betrayed him, you think he'd put your name on a marriage certificate? That's a dream.

His daughters have always been his top priority. You've never been in the picture. That's why he hasn't shared a bed with you in years. He's disgusted by you."

Shirley seemed to take a huge hit, shaking her head continuously. "No way, Hunter wouldn't be this heartless to me. I don't believe it."

Ines, on the other hand, was holding back tears, completely clueless about this. She never understood why Hunter, who's not a fool, would let Shirley into his family. Now everything made sense. He had planned it all along.

"As for the legal implications of the marriage certificate, you can look it up yourself. I wouldn't lie about this, ma'am," Silas said, emphasizing the last word.

The lawyer needed clarification. He thought he had this in the bag, but a huge twist just came out of nowhere and turned out Shirley wasn't Hunter's wife.

Ethan chuckled. This was just like Hunter, all right. Ines's occasional slyness was totally a reflection of him. He dug a big pit, and Shirley just jumped right into it.

Silas turned to the lawyer, "I suppose you know what to do now. Shirley and the chairman were never legally married. They weren't even co-habitating. She has no right to participate in the distribution of the chairman's inheritance."

The lawyer wiped the sweat off his forehead, "I'm sorry for interrupting. I know what to do now." He left in a hurry after saying that.

Silas looked at Shirley again, "It's time for you to leave too. You're not an employee of the Galeana Group, and you're not the chairman's wife. You have no reason to stay here."

Shirley was completely shattered, "No, I don't believe a word you said. I don't believe it."

"Believe it or not, that's the truth. Since you returned to the Galeana family, I've been waiting for this day. Who knew it would take this long."

Shirley pointed at Emma, "Even if I don't get anything, Emma will. She's Hunter's daughter."

"That's Ms Emma's business. It has nothing to do with you."

"How does it have nothing to do with me? She's my daughter. What's hers is mine."

Silas hadn't met anyone as unreasonable as Shirley, "Ms Emma is an adult. She can handle her property. You have no right to interfere."

"No, you must tell me today, how much inheritance will Emma get?"

Silas wouldn't give Shirley the time of day. Seeing her being persistent, he dialled the security team to have her escorted out.

Upon receiving the call, the security team arrived and grabbed Shirley by the arm. Enraged, Shirley yelled, "What are you doing? I'm the chairman's wife. I'll have you fired." The security guards, recognizing Shirley, looked towards Silas for confirmation. Silas waved his hand, "Remember, as of today, she's no longer the chairman's wife. If she dares to show up at the company again, kick her out. Don't listen to her."
