Jeremy felt a heaviness settle in his chest as he realized this.
Joe nodded in agreement and asked, “Did you tell Natalie about this?”
“Not–yet. I’ll mention it when the time is right,” Jeremy replied. He lit a cigarette and stood by the window.
He was gathering this information as leverage. His goal was to ensure Natalie couldn’t divorce him. It was a despicable tactic.
Meanwhile, Steven was interrupted at work by a colleague who informed him someone was there to see him. It was unusual for his family to visit during work hours.
“Alright,” he said. Then, he put aside his current experiment and headed out.
Visitors weren’t typically allowed inside the company, so the person waited in the lobby.
The person waiting for him was sitting on a chair in the lobby.
From the back, she appeared to be a well–maintained middle–aged woman. However, Janine typically wouldn’t dress like this. The clothes this woman was wearing were all luxury brands.
As he approached, Steven greeted her, “Hello, I’m Steven Sullivan. Were you looking for me?”
When Sabrina saw Steven, she was taken aback.
Contrary to what she had imagined, Steven didn’t look like he came

from a humble background. Instead, he seemed like a young man from a wealthy family.
No wonder Annie had fallen for him.

“I’m Annie’s mother,” Sabrina introduced herself. Her tone carried an air of superiority as if to make Steven understand the disparity
between him and Annie.
Sabrina believed that Steven’s being with Annie was his great
fortune.
“Annie’s mother? Mrs. Silver, what can I do for you?” Steven’s tone was cool, but his respect for elders kept him from being outright dismissive.
Sabrina’s brows furrowed at Steven’s cold demeanor. “Annie’s father and I know about the relationship. We didn’t approve at first,
but…”
“Wait a minute. You said you disapproved of us being together?” Steven confirmed again.
Sabrina’s eyes flickered. “It’s not that we were entirely against it initially, but we had our reservations at first. Over the past couple of days, Annie’s father and I have come to realize that her happiness is what truly matters. So, we now approve of you and Annie being together. However, you’ll need to prove yourself. You-”
Before she could finish, Steven interrupted her once again.
“You should stick with your initial decision. I’m not worthy of Annie, and there’s no need for me to prove myself. We’ve already broken up. Didn’t Annie tell you?” Steven asked.
Sabrina hadn’t expected Steven to be so straightforward. Of course, Annie had mentioned their breakup.

At first, Sabrina thought Steven was just bluffing. After all, Annie was so exceptional that countless suitors wanted to marry her.
She wondered if Steven could really let Annie go so easily.
Days had passed, and the Silver family was in chaos. When Sabrina questioned Annie, she confirmed that Steven had indeed broken up with her and showed no intention of reconciling.
Sabrina still looked down on Steven. However, they had no other choice. She needed him to achieve their goals.
Now, faced with Steven’s cold response, she felt embarrassed.
She took a deep breath and said, “Are you still angry at Annie? Everything she told you is true. We were so blinded that we almost harmed her. She’s been isolating herself in her room for the past few days. She refused to eat or drink. Her condition is very poor. She really does care about you.”
Steven interrupted her, “I have work to attend to. Mrs. Silver, please leave.”
With that, he turned and walked toward the elevator.
Sabrina was stunned. She shouted, “You! Don’t you care about Annie?”
“We’ve broken up. Her matters are no longer my concern. Don’t come looking for me again. I

“Your visit today has revealed your true intentions. Such an ugly display!” Steven threw these words over his shoulder as he
stepped into the elevator.
