I’m Divorcing with You Mr Billionaire! (Sydney and Mark) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Chapter one hundred and nine 

Sydneys POV 

(“he raised his brows. “How’re things so far?! 

I shrugged and took my time to respond. “Nothing much” 

He suddenly wiped off his smile with a frown, “What do you mean nothing much? Come on, give me appropinate report on what things he has been un 

to since the last time we spoke Who did he meet with? What did 

He went on and on, listing and counting down things he wanted to hear with his fingers. 

“Something like that, you know that,” then he squirted hi eyes, wat why are you stalling” 

shrugged again Tm not stalling. There’s just really nothing much to report “Part of me felt a bit of guilt for playing dumb, but I pushed i 

too important = | couldn’t risk blowing my cover over a minor deception 

Even if he shits, Sydney, you have to tell me,” he gritted out, his jaw tenging with impatience. 

“Alright then, he did shit this week” I said lightly 

I couldn’t resist a little joke to defuse the growing tension between us. 

I held back my giggle at my own response but it quickly died down when I saw his narrowed eyes and thunderous expression. Ah, so he wantin 

humorous mood today. I made a mental note not to push any further jokes. 

I folded my Ips tightly and apologized in a tiny, contrite voice, “Sorry.“I pouted when he wouldn’t stop glaring at meruing my hand along his arms “Come on, I was just trying to make you laugh. You’ve been frowning since you got here.” 

He sighed heavily would not be frowning if you’d just tell me about his movements. That’s the only thing that I can hear about and will make me smile 

I 

I sighed as well, realizing I needed to get down to business and give him the information he was hungry for Painting him a picture of Tavos daily life and 

routines was the only way to earn back his favor and trust. 

I began recounting everything I knew Tavon had been up to lately. 

THe came to visit and I brought him to the garden terrace. Scarlet was busy making sure that no one could interruptus and ended up unintentu 

eavesdropping on our conversation while Bella was working on keeping Tavon in his room” cringed inwardly. I didn’t want to dwell on what exactly “keeping him in his room” might have meant from poor Bella. 

“He has also rarely gone out, I continued, laying out the details meticulously. He’s just basically been frolicking around with Jessica in the mansion without any shame or regard for me. However 

My heart skipped a beat as his eyes sharpened and his whole demeanor tensedm Clearly that “however had piqued his interest in a major way 

I bit my lip. “He takes time out every day to meet with Axel“inally rushed out. 

Dylan immediately became alert. “Apart from Axel, who else has he been seeing? 

tell he is abou 

I pretended to furrow my brow as if racking my brain. Then I said slowly, 1 remember that there’s another middle–aged man. I can tell be is about same age group as Tavon” 

Dylan leaned in closer and I mirrored his movement, playing up an air of conspiratorial secrecy between us. 

“Whenever he’s here, the staff call him. “I trailed off, furrowing my brow further and biting my lower ip in an exaggerated pantomime of struggling to remember. 1 can’t really recall what they call him, ah, the military adviser!” I blurted out with take excitement 

“Yes, they call him the military adviser. Each time he comes, Tavon meets with him in the conference room for several hours every day often with Avel and 

some other unknown faces involved” 

“Other faces?” Dylan’s eyebrows drew down in a severe angle of anger and interse concentration 

And you cannot recognize any of these other face?” 

I shook my head sadly and played up my disappointment 

“Unfortunately not. I’ve tried but they’re too unfamiliar.* 

He narrowed his eyes further at me, clearly displeased by this lack of key details 

“Yet you think all of this activity and strange meetings aren’t important enough to report promptly, huh?” 

I sighed heavily and let my shoulders droop as I wrapped my arms around myself in a vulnerable posture 

1 didn’t want you to get too worried just yet,” I said in a small voice. 1 mean, it might as well be nothing serious, just them having fun or mundane | 

discussions.” 

“It could be anything,” he sneered dismissively. It could be something much bigger, so tell me every single piece of information and everything you see 

and hear, no matter how insignificant it may seem.” 

I flinched back slightly at the harsh edge in his voice, then slowly nodded in acquiescence. 

“Of course, you’re right, be sure to report everything moving forward, no matter how trial” 

I frowned, as if just remembering another puzzling detai 

“Actually, why haven’t seen you come to visit Godfather these days? You know how important maintaining family ties and loyalty is in this business. You do understand that night Dylan?” 

He didn’t respond immediately. He was processing the implications of what I’d just told him I could see the calculations and contingencies flickering behind his e 

udge him 

After a pause, I decided to nudge him further, keeping my tone purposefully casual and gentle 

“Besides,” I moved closer until my body was almost brushing against his trailing my fingers lightly across his chest before resting them on his s 

shoulders 

Tve missed you. If you come to visit Tavon more frequently, you’ll be killing two birds with one stone. Not only will you get to see me “I gave him a coy look from under my lashes 

“But you’ll also reinforce your position in Tavon’s mind as the heir apparent by showing your commitment to the family.” 

He shook his head slowly, turning to face me with a grim look, 

“Nah. It’s too late for that now, Sydney. Did you hear any details about what they were actually taking about in those meetings?” His face was gloomy. brooding, as he asked. I could almost hear the gears whirring as he worked up some new plan in his head 

“Not exactly.” I replied with a small shake of my head. “They always speak in hushed tones that I can’t quite make out. But I think Tavon is gradually beginning the process of transtioning his power over to Axel” 

I shrugged as he fixed me a wary look 1 mean, why else would he be staying cooped up in the mansion all the time, never going out? My guess is Axel is increasingly running the day–to–day operations, then coming back every evening to brief Tavon and receive his instructions.” 

Dylan’s eyes turned even icier at this. 

I knew I needed to try and placate him, so I rushed to add: “But then again, it might also just be some kind of test. Maybe Axel is only temporarily shouldering more duties so Tavon can evaluate how well he handles the responsibility Then next week or next month, it could be your turn to prove your 

ments” 

fury 

“it’s not a test,” he growled, and fats clenched tightly at his sides. The muscle in his cheek twitched with barely restrained fur 

Hoping to soothe his rising anger, at least for the moment, I stepped forward and began rubbing his shoulders soothingly. 

“Don’t get too riled up just yet, baby,” I murmured. “We still have time to figure this out.“. 

I felt the slightest release of tension in his powerful frame at my gentle touch and reassuring words. But that small victory was short–lived–because it wasn’t what I truly wanted. I needed him enraged. His ambition needed to be stoked white–hot. Only then would he be primed to take the actions 

intended to goad him towards.
