Chapter 1452 Cyrus Must Benefit From This
Ophelia stated, "The Bureau of Land Management has just announced the land slated for development, but it's not the one the Wrays have acquired. Instead, it's the very land you schemed for Wynter to take!"
A cup shattered into pieces with a crash. Tamia's eyes fluttered in disbelief; she couldn't accept the news.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Impossible! Alejandro assured me it was worthless. And wasn't Wynter interested in Valen Village? How could her land be chosen for development? This can't be true!"
"It's all over the news!" Ophelia exclaimed, showing her phone to Tamia, who was momentarily stunned before snatching the phone away.
Clenching her fists, Ophelia added, "That's not all. You just publicly announced that Cyrus withdrew his funds and wasn't involved in the investments. Immediately after, Wynter's land was declared for development.
"You're not the only one embarrassed, Mom. How am I supposed to explain myself to the Whitman family now?"
Tamia's face flushed red, as if she had received a slap to the face.
Ophelia shared her feelings and continued, "Cyrus could've made a huge profit! But money isn't significant right now. At the very least, he has to be part of that project. It's a nationwide endeavor!"
Tamia felt a deep wave of regret but quickly gathered her composure.
"Cyrus must benefit from this! While he hasn't invested any capital, he has provided Wynter with valuable connections. He should be credited for that effort. This project is too lucrative for him to be left out!"
Only when Cyrus was involved in the project could the Montclair family share in the glory.
Fortunately, Ophelia agreed. "In that case, I'll have Cyrus speak with Sevie. They're cousins, so it's easier for him to ask."
Tamia considered the situation further. "Having Cyrus talk to her isn't enough. You need to be present, too. You're her aunt, after all.
"Even if she's working to reconcile the Quinnells and the Whitmans, she still has to respect you as her elder.
"Besides, Marie will need to consider what's best for her brother as well. I'm sure no one wishes to see another marriage fail after experiencing one themselves."
Tamia then suggested a sinister approach. "Tell that girl that Cyrus was pressured to pull his funds and see how she responds. It's best if she agrees, otherwise, you'll need to discuss it with Noah.
"All these years, you've sacrificed your career to support the family and raise Cyrus. You can't let a youngster disrespect you. Let Noah know you might consider a divorce if Cyrus doesn't get a share in that land."
Hearing that, Ophelia widened her eyes in disbelief. "Are you actually suggesting that I file for a divorce from Noah?"
"It's just a thought, not an actual plan. Now that things have come to this, it's the only way. Plus, it's part of the wisdom in managing a marriage," Tamia assured.
However, Ophelia seemed hesitant. "But I don't want to bring it up at all. You know Noah and I don't have any feelings for each other. We only got married because you..."
"That's enough dwelling on the past, Ophelia ! What matters now is resolving the issue at hand.
"Don't worry. Even though you and Noah started without feelings, you've been together for years, and even your son is all grown up. Noah's a family man, so I'm sure he wouldn't agree to a divorce."
