Liam continued, “Since Rhea never said anything, you have no right to complain. Losing your assets, marriage, and reputation is exactly what you deserve.”

Everyone was pointing fingers at Carter these days.

They said he depended on Rhea’s family, lacked backbone, shamelessly cheated during the marriage, and betrayed Liam’s trust and support. They claimed that he was nothing but a hopeless loser.

There were endless remarks like that.

Meanwhile, Rhea received only sympathy and support.

Justice, it seemed, had its way.

Carter’s head spun, and he couldn’t remain seated any longer. “You all teamed up to trick me?”

Liam’s cold gaze pierced him. “So what if we did?”

At that moment, Carter felt an unprecedented helplessness. He alone could not stand against the Ravelle family. He could be pushed out of Draventh with just one word from Liam.

Fueled by anger, or perhaps at never having been humiliated like this, Carter sneered. “You’re just doing this to cover up the fact that Rhea also cheated during our marriage, aren’t you? She’s not a good woman either.”

Suddenly, a loud thud rang out.

Pain shot through Carter as he crumpled to the floor.

Anthony had driven a kick into the back of Carter’s leg that had just healed.

The bodyguards surged forward, raining blows down on him. Several strikes hit his eye socket. Carter felt like he was about to go blind.

Liam watched quietly. “Don’t dirty my floor.”

At that, Anthony dragged Carter across the floor to clean up the blood.

“Throw him out,” Liam ordered.

Then, he added slowly, “I expect no rumors about you having any dealings with Rhea. If I hear one word, I’ll come after you.”

Carter was too beaten to fight back. Like a lifeless dog, he was tossed out of the Ravelle residence by Anthony.

At the same time, the lawyer began enforcing the division of assets with the divorce decree in hand.

Once Rhea’s share was taken, George’s people contacted Carter’s business partners and managed to poach all of them within a single day.

When Carter regained consciousness in the hospital, Marcus broke the news. “Your company is an empty shell now. You only have a little cash and the house in Draventh. You’re going bankrupt.”

It was Liam’s decision not to touch the villa as he didn’t want the kids to be left homeless. They were still young, so he didn’t want to hurt them.

Carter’s head throbbed.

Marcus continued, “You never should have divorced Rhea! What’s so great about Lauren anyway? In the end, you ended up with nothing! You were better off back when you were thriving at Colburn!”

Carter fell into a daze.

Everything he had worked for was gone. Without Rhea, he had nothing left. What could he do now? Who could help him?
