Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 540

He had already guessed exactly what she was about to propose—using her underground connections to actively bankrupt the White family. Once he was completely ruined, Griffin would be forced to show up and sever their marriage bond.

Maeve fought back a laugh. "Did you think I was going to say I'd figure out a way to bankrupt Orca Group?"

Andres took a seat opposite her. "Weren't you?"

Maeve went right back to eating, nodding with absolute, unbothered sincerity. "Yep!"

He picked up a piece of incredibly tender fish with his chopsticks and fed it directly into her mouth. "Which is exactly why I'm telling you to nip that impossible lifelong dream in the bud."

Orca Group was merely a front, a tiny drop in the ocean of the White family's true global empire. Did this girl honestly believe that taking down Orca Group would force him to open a diner?

Maeve swallowed the bite he fed her and mumbled as she chewed, "I'm just kidding. Don't take it so seriously. I'm an honorable person. If I ever decide to completely ruin you, out of respect for all the nights we've spent in the same bed, I'll give you a heads-up first."

Andres didn't know whether to laugh or be exasperated. Only Maeve could use the most casual, flirtatious tone to deliver such an unbelievably arrogant, domineering threat. It was maddening, yet entirely captivating.

On second thought, a deep sense of relief washed over him. Since they tied the knot, this was the very first time Maeve had actively initiated a joke with him. Even if the punchline involved destroying his empire. Compared to the icy, detached aura she usually carried, the Maeve sitting across from him now felt vibrant and real. Did this mean his wife was finally starting to accept their marriage?
