Marrying His Nemesis: Kicking My Scumbag Fiancé Away!-Chapter 55: This Girl Will Never Love Him Again

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: This Girl Will Never Love Him Again

A perfect uppercut, carrying all of Seraphina Thorne’s strength and resentment, landed mercilessly on Adrian Chamberlain’s chin.

Completely unguarded, Adrian Chamberlain bit his tongue with his teeth, and blood instantly oozed from the corner of his lips.

Fortunately, Seraphina’s strength was lacking, otherwise, if Ethan Sterling had thrown that punch, Adrian would have bitten his tongue off.

"You..."

He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his hand and looked at Seraphina in disbelief.

"Hit me?"

The once obedient girl who loved him dearly, would actually strike him so hard?

Seraphina lifted her face, her gaze even colder and harder than the punch just now.

In that instant, Adrian Chamberlain suddenly realized.

The girl who once smiled for him, cried for him...

Would never love him again!

Ethan Sterling pulled Seraphina behind him, stepping forward to stand in front of Adrian Chamberlain.

Facing Ethan Sterling’s eyes, Adrian Chamberlain felt both afraid and guilty, instinctively taking a step back.

The assistant nearby shouted out, "How can you hit someone?"

Sean Hale stood beside Ethan Sterling, adopting a protective stance.

"You’d better ask your boss what shady things he’s done?!"

The assistant was about to retort, but Adrian Chamberlain had already stretched out his left hand to pull the assistant’s arm.

"Forget it!"

These past few days, he had actually been on edge, fearing that Seraphina would report it to the police and make things worse.

Right now, he was pursuing Diane Dawson, the mayor’s daughter, hoping to use Vice Mayor Donovan’s connections to help himself control Zenith Group.

If this matter came out, his relationship with Diane would definitely end, and Vice Mayor Donovan would no longer support him.

Taking Seraphina’s punch, Adrian Chamberlain could only endure.

With a cold snort, Ethan Sterling held Seraphina’s hand and walked into the elevator.

Adrian Chamberlain stood there, watching Seraphina’s figure disappear behind the elevator doors, still in a daze.

"President Chamberlain, why did they come to Zenith?" The assistant grasped Adrian Chamberlain’s shoulder after seeing his lack of reaction. "Are you alright?"

Adrian Chamberlain snapped back to reality, realizing something was off.

"Let’s go, we need to check upstairs."

The two of them took the elevator upstairs, arriving outside the meeting room.

The assistant pushed open the door, and Adrian Chamberlain stepped inside.

In an instant, he saw Ethan Sterling sitting at the head of the conference table, occupying a seat that was supposed to be his.

Seraphina was sitting beside Ethan, in her brother Caleb Thorne’s seat.

The directors present were either silent or casting glances at each other.

Seeing Adrian Chamberlain enter, the directors turned their faces towards him.

Noticing the blood still at the corner of his lip, they were a bit startled. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"President Chamberlain, is your face alright?"

"Yes, President Chamberlain, how did you get injured?"

...

Before Adrian Chamberlain could answer, Seraphina already spoke softly.

"I hit him!"

In the meeting room, a sudden silence fell.

As shareholders of Zenith, those present were naturally aware of the grievances between the Thorne Family and Adrian Chamberlain.

Adrian Chamberlain wiped the corner of his lip again, assuming the demeanor of the interim head of Zenith.

"Get security over here and remove anyone unrelated to the company... Get them all out."

"Yes!" The assistant responded, pulling out his phone from his pocket. "I’ll get the Head of Security up here immediately—letting in anyone like Tom, Dick, or Harry—what are they doing?"

"President Chamberlain!" A short and pudgy middle-aged director stood up, "There might be some misunderstanding about this, President Sterling isn’t just anyone."

Pulling out a chair and walking to Ethan Sterling’s side, the chubby director spoke with a jovial smile.

"In recent years, age has caught up with me, and many things are beyond my capability. I’ve sold all my original shares to President Sterling. Today, I’m here to say my goodbyes—I won’t be attending these meetings anymore."

Adrian Chamberlain’s heart sank, a sense of foreboding rising instantly.

Ethan Sterling not only wanted to take the woman from him but Zenith as well?

"Then I might as well leave too!" Another director stood up, "After all, my shares are also currently in President Sterling’s hands, so there’s no need for me to attend this meeting!"

And so...

Several directors stood up one after another.

The attorney Clayton, standing behind Ethan Sterlin, opened the document in his hand.

"As of now, Mr. Sterling holds 23% of Zenith Group’s original shares..."

"So what?" Adrian Chamberlain sneered, "I have 30%! I’m still the biggest shareholder, now... Get off my seat!"

Seraphina lifted her face with a smile and interrupted Adrian Chamberlain indifferently.

"I forgot to mention earlier, Ethan and I are married."

Married?

Adrian Chamberlain was struck like a bolt from the blue.

Attorney Clayton cleared his throat, slightly raising his tone.

"Miss Thorne has entrusted the 10% of Zenith Shares she holds entirely to President Sterling’s management, so... President Sterling now actually holds 33% control."

Attorney Clayton lifted his face and smiled, sweeping a glance over Adrian Chamberlain’s complicated expression.

"According to the board’s constitution, Mr. Sterling is entitled to take over the board, and manage all Zenith affairs."

"Oh well, congratulations to President Sterling!"

"Indeed, a double celebration—isn’t it, President Sterling?"

...

The directors immediately began to voice their congratulations one after another.

Now, with Ethan Sterling clearly having the upper hand, everyone naturally wanted to curry favor.

Ethan Sterling reached over with his left hand, holding Seraphina’s hand on the table.

"Someday, my wife and I will host a banquet to celebrate with everyone!"

"No problem!"

"I must drink a few good rounds!"

...

"Alright!" Ethan Sterling reined in his smile, "Then now... Let’s have a meeting!"

The directors who sold their shares bid their farewells and left, while the rest sat down at the table.

Adrian Chamberlain moved to Ethan Sterling’s side, sitting opposite Seraphina, in the first chair to the left.

Whatever Ethan said during the meeting afterward, Adrian Chamberlain didn’t absorb any of it.

He only stared across the table at Seraphina’s left hand.

The diamond ring on her ring finger sparkled.

Suddenly, Adrian Chamberlain stood up, leaning on the table with both hands, looking across at Seraphina.

"Why, why did you marry him?"

A few directors started in surprise, and Ethan Sterling also furrowed his brows tightly.

Seraphina calmly lifted her face from the documents in front of her, showing a radiant smile.

"Why would a woman marry a man, if not for... love!"

Adrian Chamberlain was at a loss for words.

Across from him, the girl who had once loved him deeply.

When she looked at him, she was still smiling.

She’s so ruthless!

Without even a word of discussion, she had completely severed ties with him.

Only at this moment did Adrian Chamberlain finally come to realize a fact—

This girl would never love him again.

Shoving the chair behind him aside, Adrian Chamberlain strode out of the meeting room.

"President Chamberlain!"

The assistant chased after him.

Ethan Sterling withdrew his gaze, looking at Seraphina for a few seconds before smiling.

"Let’s continue the meeting."

After the meeting.

Ethan Sterling and Seraphina went together to the CEO’s office.

After nearly three months, returning to her father’s office, everything felt surreal to Seraphina.

"President Sterling." Sean Hale followed them in, stopping at a distance, "Will you be working here?"

Ethan Sterling shook his head, "I don’t like this décor style. Help me redecorate another office."

"Alright."

Sean replied, turning to leave.

Seraphina walked to the desk and started throwing Adrian Chamberlain’s belongings into the trash bin in one go.

She rearranged the room in her father’s preferred way.

Turning to face Ethan Sterling, she extended her arms, wrapping them around his neck.

"Tonight, I’ll have Ms. Sawyer prepare a few more dishes. Let’s have a proper celebration. Remember to come home early tonight, hubby!"

Standing on tiptoe, she kissed him on the lips, waved him goodbye with a smile, and left.

Ethan Sterling turned his side, leaning against the desk.

He fished out a cigarette from his pocket and brought it to his lips.

Once again, Seraphina’s words echoed in his ears.

...

"Why would a woman marry a man, if not for... love!"

...

Lighting the cigarette, he slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"I like your answer too."
