The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Chapter 1517 The Montclair Family's Downfall

Ophelia's face paled at Rodrigo's words. Unable to contain herself, she shot up from the couch. "Who says the marriage wasn't consensual? Who can prove that? Would we have a son together if Noah didn't want to marry me?"

The most shameful part of Ophelia's life was that she had indeed used underhanded tactics to marry Noah. After all, it was very clear that Noah was unwilling when he woke up. He had coldly asked her to leave, as if he found her presence distasteful. It wasn't until Cyrus was born that his attitude began to shift.

But so what? After all these years, Ophelia refused to believe that Noah's affection was anything but genuine. No one could prove otherwise, so there was no way anyone could change the narrative!

Rodrigo's tone was strict. 'Ms. Montclair, I suggest you take a look at the video circulating online. It's from a long time ago. The video quality may be poor, but they provide crucial context.'

"Videos? What videos?' Ophelia's hands trembled. So much time had passed, so there shouldn't have been any evidence left! Someone online must be trying to stir up trouble!

Rodrigo sighed deeply again. "Ms. Montclair, I warned you when I took on your divorce case that you shouldn't withhold anything from me. It could impact my defense strategy. The situation is starting to turn against us, and you need to be prepared."

"Prepared for what?" Ophelia raised her voice. "It doesn't matter how we got married! The point is that we're getting divorced now! I have a right to claim our joint assets, right?"

"As you mentioned joint assets 'Rodrigo rubbed his forehead, unsure of how to proceed. 'Ms. Montclair, perhaps you should be more concerned about what your brother has done.

"Also, I have the asset distribution here. Noah only owns a small villa. Besides that, there are no other assets to claim. I've already mentioned that the company shares have been transferred, so you won't be able to claim those."

Ophelia's voice turned shrill, more piercing than ever. "How is it possible that I can't claim anything?"

Rodrigo patiently tried to explain the issue of diluted shares, but Ophelia couldn't accept this outcome at all." He's Whitman Group's executive president! How could he possibly have no company shares at all?"

Rodrigo felt overwhelmed but tried to remain calm. "Ms. Montclair, Noah likely anticipated that your marriage would face problems, so he transferred the company shares ahead of time. That's the most logical assumption."

"What do you mean by that?" Ophelia trembled. "Are you saying he was already prepared to divorce me?" Rodrigo nodded. "That seems to be the case."

Many listed companies' CEOs did things like this. But those were typically the ones with actual mistresses However, having reviewed the whole situation, Rodrigo found it hard to believe that Noah truly had a mistress. The chat records looked like they had been screenshotted and edited.

"Ms. Montclair, may I know if the online rumors about Mr. Whitman wronging you are real? Or were they fabricated?

In truth, Rodrigo wanted to know if those rumors had any backing from the Montclair family.

After all, the allegations against the Whitman family seemed to stem from the Montclairs' attempts to crush the Whitman Group. They were going as far as manipulating their accounts. However, he didn't have any solid proof yet, so he was trying to prepare himself.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

But that question ignited Ophelia's anger. 'Of course it's true! Would I be getting a divorce if he hadn't wronged me? I must secure shares in Whitman Group no matter the cost! I didn't hire you to question my claims! I am your client!'
