Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 210 A Woman Broken by Marriage From the moment Layla stepped into the elevator and ascended to the top floor, she was engulfed in disbelief. Could it really be true-that young woman was the general manager of this entire corporation? The thought made her heart pound and her mind whirl with questions. As soon as she crossed the threshold of the office, Layla found herself rooted to the spot, unable to move.
The space was breathtaking: floor-to-ceiling glass walls offered a panoramic, 360-degree view of the sprawling city below, making her feel as if she were floating high above the clouds. The atmosphere was sleek and modern, yet somehow cold and distant. In the lounge area, Karina sat comfortably, her movements unhurried as she prepared a fresh pot of coffee. Without lifting her eyes, she called out smoothly, "Ms. Layla." The sound pulled Layla back from her daze. She cautiously turned to face the speaker. There sat a woman in her late twenties, impeccably dressed in a tailored designer suit.
Karina's sharp bob cut framed a face that radiated calm authority and sharp intelligence. Her eyes sparkled with a mixture of confidence and warmth, but as a fellow woman, Layla couldn't help but feel a pang of inadequacy, as if she were suddenly small and fragile in comparison. "Hello," Layla managed, her voice barely above a whisper. "You are...?" Karina smiled gently as she poured the aromatic coffee into a delicate cup. "I'm Karina, the general manager here at Skyreach Group. Please, have a seat.

Lillian should be arriving any moment now." With a nervous nod, Layla carefully approached the sofa opposite Karina and lowered herself onto it, feeling the softness of the cushions beneath her. The room's quiet hum was punctuated only by the faint clinking of the coffee cup sliding across the polished table toward her. "Go ahead," Karina encouraged casually. "A good cup of coffee is the best companion when you're overwhelmed." Layla accepted the cup with a soft "Thank you," lifting it tentatively to her lips.
The rich, smooth taste filled her senses, a small comfort amid the storm of emotions swirling inside her. Their brief moment of calm was shattered when the office door swung open. Lillian entered, her presence commanding yet approachable. Spotting Layla in the lounge, she offered a warm smile. "Sorry I'm late-the traffic was brutal." She dropped her backpack carelessly by her desk and made her way across the room. Karina quickly brewed another cup and placed it in front of Lillian with a proud smile. "Try this new blend I've been perfecting.
I think it's turning out quite well." Lillian took a sip, her eyes lighting up with approval. "Not bad at all. You could open a café with this," she joked lightly before setting the cup down. Watching the easy, familiar exchange between the two women, Layla's confusion deepened. Why was Karina showing her such respect and kindness? Could it be...? Lillian then picked up a file from her desk and moved to sit beside Layla. Her voice was steady, calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "Let me introduce myself properly.
I'm Lillian, chairwoman of Skyreach Group." She believed honesty was crucial when extending trust; there was no point in hiding her identity. Though Layla had guessed this much already, hearing it aloud still stunned her. "You mean the Skyreach Group? The one based in Solara-the company that's won so many awards in the medical field?" "That's right," Lillian confirmed with a nod. "I'm fairly certain there's only one Skyreach Group in all of Dracovia." She handed Layla the file. "I hope you don't mind, but I had some background information gathered on you.
I thought it might help." Perplexed, Layla took the folder and opened it slowly. Despite bracing herself, the contents hit her like a blow. Her hands trembled as she whispered, "Is all of this... true?" Lillian met her gaze with quiet sympathy, her own heart aching for the woman. "Yes. Every word. Your husband has been involved with Ms. Nova for over a year now. And the decline in your health over the past six months? That's because he's been slipping nitrites into your food. Given your education, you know exactly what that means." She paused, letting the weight of the truth sink in.
"To make sure you'd walk away with nothing, he started transferring his assets six months ago. He wanted to guarantee you wouldn't receive a single cent. Do you understand now?" Even Lillian had been taken aback when she first read the file. She never imagined that Nova-the woman who'd left Killian behind-would eventually end up in Kingston, tangled in such a cruel affair. Layla's hands shook violently as she stared down at the damning words. Silent tears slipped from her eyes, dripping onto the paper and smearing the ink until the pages blurred into a tear-streaked mess.
Both Lillian and Karina remained seated quietly beside her. Perhaps it was their experience with life's harsh realities, but beyond the ache in their chests, all they felt was a deep, gentle compassion for Layla. When her tears finally dried, Layla wiped the corners of her eyes and forced a fragile smile. "I'm sorry you had to see me like this." Lillian reached into the tissue box and handed her a soft tissue. "I know the pain feels unbearable right now," she said softly, "but try to think of it this way: this suffering will one day become your strength. You have to hold on, be strong.
Weather this storm, and when it passes, your life will be transformed into something new-something better." Conclusion The chapter closes on a poignant note, capturing Layla's profound vulnerability as she confronts the devastating truth about her marriage and the betrayal that has eroded her trust and health. Surrounded by the quiet strength and compassion of Lillian and Karina, Layla's shattered world feels momentarily held together by their unwavering support.
