Chapter 536
Evan dropped a bombshell, making it obvious that Zack and Elnora could never be together.
Zack’s self-assured look shattered in a heartbeat.
Evan walked over to the sofa and sat down.
Mila noticed how Evan’s words had completely stunned Zack, and a subtle, satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
She stepped inside and spoke to Evan in a calm voice.
“Grandpa, I’m going back to my room,” she said.
She knew that with Evan around, Zack would never have even the slightest chance to divorce her.
Evan nodded, his voice icy. “You need to take a hard look at yourself after what happened today.
“That didn’t just shame the Clark family. It also damaged your own reputation.
“You’ve not only embarrassed the Clark family, but you’ve lost your own dignity.
“Now outsiders are laughing at us because of your actions.”
Mila’s gaze flickered with embarrassment at Evan’s words.
Earlier, she’d only gotten so furious and lost control because Zack had threatened to divorce her.
Thinking back, Elnora had barely driven away when she and Zack started fighting.
Elnora must’ve caught the whole scene.
Back when she married Zack, with Evan backing her and putting Elnora down, Mila had even messaged Elnora, feeling smug about it.
Now, just a few months after marrying Zack, things had already gone south. Elnora was probably thrilled to see Mila in this mess.
She was likely enjoying the show, watching Mila make a fool of herself.
Mila’s face stiffened for a moment. “I understand, Grandpa.”
She lowered her head and walked upstairs.
After Mila went upstairs, Evan finally turned his gaze to Zack and spoke in a deep, serious voice.
“Now that you’re married to Mila, whether you two get along or not, you need to keep up appearances.
“If you can’t do that, then move out of the Clark family and quit your job at Clark Group. Let’s see if Elnora

will even spare you a glance then.”
With that, Evan picked up his teacup and took a slow sip.
“Go take care of that cut on your forehead,” he added.
Zack didn’t say a word. He just turned and left the Clark family home.
“Mr. Clark…” the butler called out, about to go after him.
Evan’s stern voice stopped him in his tracks.
He said, “No need.
“He knows what he needs to do, and what he shouldn’t.”
The butler nodded respectfully and stepped back to stand beside Evan.

Marina sat in the passenger seat, catching every bit of the drama as Zack and Mila went at it.
Marina was stunned. She never thought Mila and Zack’s relationship would fall apart like this.
It had only been a few months.
“Elnora, did you see that?” Marina said.
Watching them crash and burn was honestly so satisfying.
Elnora gave the rearview mirror a quick, indifferent glance before looking away.
There wasn’t the slightest trace of curiosity in her eyes, and her tone was so flat as she replied, “Mm.”
Her response was so distant, it was as if Zack and Mila were nothing more than strangers to her.
Even if they were just random people, anyone would be curious about what sparked such a fight.
But Elnora wasn’t curious at all.
There wasn’t even a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
“Who would’ve thought Zack would actually hit a woman? Thank goodness you never ended up with him.” Marina remarked with a sigh.
Marina said, her tone full of disbelief.
Elnora nodded in agreement.
Marina switched gears and went on, “Honestly, Mila totally had it coming.

“Did she ever stop to think that anything you snatch away is never really yours?”
Elnora replied calmly, “She actually got a lot out of marrying Zack.

“At least now the Gill family takes her seriously. With the Clark family’s support, Mr. Gill doesn’t favor Winnie as much anymore.”
Even before Mila married Zack, she was already impressive, but Henry never recognized her talents. He always put all his attention on Winnic instead.
Her marriage to Zack brought her actual gains.
Marina looked at Elnora blankly.
Elnora glanced at Marina, noticing her silence, and asked quietly.
“What’s wrong?”
Marina forced a smile at Elnora.
“I’m learning.”
Elnora asked, “Learning what?”
Marina replied, “I’m trying to pick up your vibe. How you never kick someone when they’re down, even if they’re your rival.”
Elnora smiled. “You probably won’t even need that attitude. Daron would never let you deal with a love rival
anyway.”
Marina’s cheeks turned pink, but as soon as she remembered all the gossip girls hanging around Albert, her mood took a nosedive.
She honestly hoped her sister would never have to deal with love rivals either.
But with Albert, there’d probably be no shortage of them.
“Elnora, how many years is your contract marriage with Mr. Campbell for?” Marina asked.
Elnora paused for a moment, then replied in a cool, steady voice.
“There’s no expiration date.
“If things ever get messy, we can just call it quits whenever.
Marina was speechless for a moment.
“So, do you feel happy right now?” she asked.
Elnora nodded. “Yeah, I’m pretty happy and relaxed.”

The Campbell family really helped her out. All the debts and issues that used to stress her out. They took care of everything.
So working with Albert had been genuinely pleasant.
So far, everything she’d gained was tangible and truly advantageous for her.
And there was no chance things between her and Albert would ever blow up like Zack and Mila.
To Elnora, her marriage to Albert was hands down the best, easiest, and most profitable arrangement she’d had since she took charge of Finley Group.
So honestly, Elnora felt pretty great about it.
Seeing the gentle smile on Elnora’s face, Marina finally let out a breath, her worries easing at last.
“As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters to me,” Marina said softly.
“No matter who you’re marrying, on your wedding day, my sister has to be the happiest and most beautiful bride in the world,” she added with a grin.
Elnora nodded.
After dropping off all the wedding invitations, Marina returned home with Elnora to the Finley house.
Daron was already back from work, sitting in the living room reading a magazine.
As soon as Elnora and Marina walked in, he set the magazine aside, got up from the sofa, and went straight to Marina, taking her coat from her hands.
Gauri, meanwhile, walked over to Elnora to help her with her things.
Elnora shot Daron a glance, and for once, couldn’t resist teasing him.
“I never realized you had the makings of a model husband,” she joked.
Daron grinned, “You think I’d let you see that side of me so easily?
“That’s for Marina’s eyes only.”
Elnora chuckled softly and walked inside.
Gauri had dinner ready, just waiting for Elnora and Marina to come home.
Elnora was the first to take a seat in the dining room, and she offhandedly started talking with Daron about Cloudstorm Group.
Daron responded.
Marina chimed in from time to time, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
