At this moment, Ke Wenjie had imagined countless ways to bring Tong Le to her demise. He thought of the most cruel and humiliating methods to make her disappear from this world. Yet, he could only fantasize; in reality, he had lost even the right to express his emotions. It was clear that Tong Le held the upper hand, and he had no chance to resist.
Ke Wenjie would never divorce Tong Le; more accurately, he could not divorce her now. If he truly agreed to it, he would be left with nothing and might even end up burdened with debts. That would be a true descent into hell from which he could never rise again.
Even though his little schemes had been exposed by Tong Le, he had to continue putting on a brave front. Even if his dignity was trampled by her, he had to consider the bigger picture.
Ke Wenjie felt more humiliated and helpless than before. He knelt before Tong Le, displaying extreme fear. Suddenly, he began to slap his own face hard, left and right, begging for her forgiveness—not out of sincerity but out of desperation. Tears streamed down his face as he pleaded, "Wife, I was wrong! I made a mistake in a moment of impulse! I shouldn’t have said that! I am guilty!"
He grasped Tong Le's ankle tightly. "Wife, I can't live without you! I can't get divorced! I love you! Perhaps I did make some mistakes before, but I will correct them! I can't lose you! I love you! I love you!"
Tong Le anticipated that Ke Wenjie would continue his act and lie further. She expected him to say something utterly irresistible, but instead, it was just a few simple childish phrases.
Looking at Ke Wenjie's swollen face, she felt no sympathy or sadness; instead, she wanted to laugh. It seemed that the long-held restraint had finally found relief. She realized that she had once loved him; her painful perseverance was merely for the satisfaction of revenge at this moment.
Tong Le was very clear-headed; she knew that one must strike while the iron is hot. She needed to seize this opportunity to negotiate terms with Ke Wenjie.
"Since you don't want a divorce," she began, "then tell me the truth: how many resources have you transferred from the company? How did you manage to move that ten million?"
Ke Wenjie instinctively glanced at the surveillance camera in the conference room. He was well aware of what could and couldn't be said; he knew exactly what was at stake.
Tong Le guessed that Ke Wenjie was filled with deceitful intentions. She threatened him again: "If you refuse to speak, then I'll file for divorce. Everything will be handled formally. You don't need to put on this tragic act for me. I've told you—I don't believe what you've said; I only care about what you've done."
Ke Wenjie was torn and distressed; he never imagined he would find himself in such a humiliating position!
He tried again, "Wife, everything I've done is for the better development of Tongshan Real Estate! We are husband and wife—why should we sue each other? I handle external affairs while you manage internal matters; isn't that the consensus we've reached over the years? I've managed the company all this time—how can you sue your own family? What have I transferred? I'm only planning for a greater future for Tongshan Real Estate!"
Tong Le listened as he twisted the truth—turning reality into lies and selfish actions into noble intentions for the company's good.
Standing up decisively, she said coldly, "I've given you your chance; you're being obstinate. I'll say this one last time: if you voluntarily confess your mistakes, I won't sue you. You must compensate me for the two million your mother lost—one million belongs to Tongshan Real Estate, and another million is from my pre-marital property sale proceeds. You have no right to use it without permission! And let me remind you—once the audit results come out, there will be no more chances for you. I remember clearly everything you've done to me over these years with your mother; you're well aware of it too."
As she turned to leave, Ke Wenjie suppressed his anger and asked sharply, "So when did you start cheating on me? How could I not have noticed anything?"
At this moment, Tong Le wanted nothing more than to expose Ke Wenjie's infidelities over the years. However, she held back; she needed those pieces of evidence for later use and couldn't reveal everything at once. If she did so now, Ke Wenjie might retaliate recklessly.
Tong Le remained silent.
Ke Wenjie bitterly remarked, "If we divorce, I'll lose everything—even the child in your womb won't be mine! Tong Le, how can you be so heartless? How can you treat me like this? What about our years together? And what about when I risked my life to save you back in college?"
Tong Le smiled faintly, too lazy to respond. "Now that you've seen my true colors, why don't you hurry up and leave me? What are you hoping for? That I'll beg you to take care of me and Zong Zeyu's child?"
Intentionally provoking him further made Ke Wenjie clench his fists in rage.
I will not get a divorce! I will not get a divorce!
Meanwhile, at the Zong Group.
