"Don't worry. I'll leave," Elodie answered.
'Just not when he says. And not the way he wants.'
Elodie took her time. She didn't rush. "In front of all these people, Damian, I want to ask you something, sincerely. In my career, I'm nobody. In my personal life, I'm the wife you forced into marriage through threats and manipulation. From every angle, I'm a weak, helpless woman. You're such a powerful man. Do you really need to go to all this trouble just to crush me?"
Damian's voice was thick with contempt. "Weak and helpless. You opened your mouth and demanded 50 million. Your appetite is enormous. Not afraid of choking on it?"
"50 million, is that a lot to you? You want to divorce me. Given your assets, the fact that I didn't ask for several hundred million shows remarkable restraint."
