Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 672

From Adam's reaction, George instantly understood that the former was well aware of the true reasons behind the divorce, but the specifics were too inappropriate to be announced.

Adrian and Annalise had initially considered trying to talk Alex out of it, but they swallowed their words after hearing what Adam said. Since Adam had spoken, there had to be a reason. They would follow his lead.

Linda heard Adam's words and was on the verge of despair. She had been heartbroken by Adam's ruthlessness, but now she was simply terrified.

She didn't want a divorce. Even if it meant moving out, she couldn't bear to lose her place in the family.

She suddenly stood up despite her injured leg and made a desperate attempt to kneel before Adam. "Adam, I know I was wrong. I'm really sorry; please give the two of us another chance.

"I can't get a divorce. Eva is so young, and she can't grow up without her mother…"

Her actions were so abrupt that they shocked everyone in the room. A trace of disgust flashed in Adam's eyes.

Annalise was quick on her feet to stop Linda before she could kneel. There was a hint of a threat in her tone as she asked, "Linda, what are you doing? The children are watching."

A sister-in-law kneeling to the eldest brother in front of the entire family would bring shame to the Jensens if word got out. The Jensens couldn't afford such humiliation even if Linda didn't care. Plus, her words implied that Adam had forced the couple to get a divorce.

Linda's actions infuriated Alex. He shot to his feet and roared, "The divorce is between the two of us; what does it have to do with Adam? Linda, I'm telling you that I will get a divorce even if Dad and Adam are against it.

"Don't forget what we agreed on—to part without hard feelings!"

Those last words were spat out through gritted teeth.
