Chapter 94_A Love Forgotten

“She was mistreated in the past, and that was my fault. From this moment on, she is my girlfriend, and soon, she will be Mrs. Wood.”

 My entire body trembled, and I could no longer stop the tears welling up in my eyes. I tried my best not to cry, but my vision blurred as my tears filled my eyes.

 I didn’t dare to look at anyone else’s face, nor did I want to see Elijah’s dark expression. The only thing I knew was that Logan was standing up for me in front of everyone, giving me the dignity I had lost.

 He was going to erase the shame of my past with the power of his name, pulling me from the depths of the mud.

 Elijah looked ready tosh out, but Jocelyn held him back. She spoke sweetly. “C Wood! And congrattions to you too, Ms. York!”

 ttions, Mr.

 Her delicate face, however, couldn’t fully hide the trace of jealousy and envy beneath her words. She turned to Elijah, who was still scowling.

 “Elijah, look at how bravely Mr. Wood pursues love. Shouldn’t we…”

 But before she could finish, Elijah suddenly sneered. “And what exactly should we do?”

 Jocelyn froze,pletely thrown off by Elijah’s reaction. She couldn’t understand why he wasn’t taking this chance to strike back.

 All he had to do was dere that he loved her, that he wasmitted to her, and that I was no longer a part of his life. It would have smoothed over the situation, at least on the surface.

 But Elijah pushed Jocelyn’s hand away and stepped forward, staring me down with cold determination. “I have nothing to do with Jocelyn,” he said, his voice hard. Jocelyn’s face paled instantly.

 “My wife,” he continued, “is Ariana York, the heiress of the York family. We’ve been married for five years. Despite all the fighting, divorce was never an option.”

 His eyes flicked to Logan, full of sarcasm. “Mr. Wood, the business world is a battlefield, andpetition is normal. But as the prestigious heir of the Wood Group, must you really go after another man’s wife?”

 A murmur spread through the room.

 Mr. Maynard’s expression darkened. “Elijah, there’s no need to say it like that.”

 However, Elijah let out a bitterugh. “What else should I say? I knew tonight would bring trouble, but t didn’t expect this.”

 I couldn’t hold back anymore and shot back with a cold sneer, “Mr. Linden, did five days in lockup not give you enough time to figure out where you went wrong?”

 Elijah’s face turned ashen as he gritted his teeth. “Ariana, I gave you so many chances toe back, but you’ve refused to see reason.”

 I interrupted him sharply, “Why should I? Don’t forget that I was the one who saved your sinking Linden Group.”

 I turned to address the influential leaders in the room. “To all the leaders and elders present, I am Jonathan’s sister. Years ago, I used my brother’s money to help Elijah. I have a clear conscience.”

 “For five years, I have given my all, but in return, I received neither gratitude nor respect.”

 I let out a small, bitterugh. “If you don’t love me, why won’t you let me go? You talk about stealing

 “Elijah, not everything revolves around you. Just because you once had something doesn’t mean you own it forever.”

 I watched as Elijah’s face grew paler. “A peaceful parting is the only thing I want from you now.”

 Elijah stood there, staring at me for what felt like an eternity, long enough for Jocelyn to tug at his sleeve, only for him to shrug her off. He finallyughed, though it was a hollow, bitter sound.

 “Fine. Ariana, I finally believe you want a divorce.”

 Relief washed over me, and I sighed. “Thank you.”

 Elijah’s gaze shifted to Logan. “Mr. Wood, now that you’ve made your deration, care to share your true purpose for tonight?”

 His words drew everyone’s attention, mine included. My hand tightened around Logan’s sleeve, and I could feel cold sweat in my palms.

 Logan, with his usual calm, amused expression, said, “I have no other pur everyone, including Mr. Linden, that I love Ari.”

 Elijah scoffed, “And what exactly is this?”

 Logan’s expression turned serious as he answered, “A public deration.”

 I simply wanted to tell
