On the surface, I was just James’ wife. But in reality, the only reason the Woods Family had risen to power was because of my efforts behind the scenes.
Yet now, it seemed certain people thought they had outgrown me. They were ready to discard me and take all the credit for themselves.
Holly glanced around smugly and scoffed as she said, "You all heard her, right? This little white flower actually thinks the Woods Family succeeded because of her."
"It’s laughable! The Woods Family is now one of the top four families in San Diego and you? You’re just nothing but a useless housewife."
"Honestly, if it weren’t for you, the Woods Family might have climbed even higher. They may even broke into the Los Angeles elite."
Hearing those words, everything clicked.
This dinner wasn’t just a casual business meeting. As I had predicted, it was a setup. Even these so-called business elites were likely handpicked actors, all orchestrated to corner me into divorcing James.
Whoever was behind this surely had influence.
Despite their relentless provocation, I had held back. After all, these were well-known figures in the business world and I didn’t want to make a scene. Nevertheless, patience had its limits.
