His gaze lowered slightly as he spoke with solemn determination. “Lily, I’m canceling the divorce. Let’s stay btogether/b.”

Stay together..

Lily was stunned by what James just said.

In the next second, a wave of bitterness swept through her chest.

She really liked him.

If he didn’t hate her so much, she would’ve wanted to be with him.

To men, nothing matters more than their pride.

What man–especially one as proud as James–would ever want people thinking he wasn’t a real man?

But just to keep her from clinging to him, James had told her multiple times that he had serious health problems.

He must have despised her so much that he, a man with such rigid values, would lie about something like that just to keep her at arm’s length.

She couldn’t shamelessly use what happenedst night to trap him for life.

The bitterness blooming in her chest crept into her beyes/b. Her eyes stung so badly she almost teared up. She took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling, forcing the tears back.

She forced a smile that looked bworse /bthan crying and tried to sound cheerful. “Jarnes, I know like me–probably even hate me. You’re only saying we should bstay /btogether because you feel like you need to take responsibility. But you really bdon’t /bhave to.

James frowned.

He was still deep in thought when he heard Lily bspeaking /bagain, trying to keep her voice light. “bAnd /bdon’t forget–I bhave /bsomeone I love. We’ve already agreed to get our marriage license next bmonth/b. I can’t just go back on that now. James, what happenedst night, I won’t take it to heart. bAnd /bI hope you won’t either.”

James’s frown deepened

Of course he knew she had a long–time ssmate she loved, and they were getting married soon.

But for some reason, hearing her talk about her lover at a time like this made his chest ache like he was

bsick/b.

Still, he knew how much she cared about that man. If her heart was set, he couldn’t force her to ept responsibility bfrom /bhim.

All he could do was give her the bestpensation he could.

“Lily. I own twenty–eight percent of Luke bCorp’s /bshares. I’ll have mywyer draw up a transfer agreement. I’ll transfer fourteen percent to your name.”

She had someone she loved.

She was supposed to marry him next month.

She probably wanted to save herself for that man.

Butst night, he…

The more James thought about it, the more disgusted he felt with himself. Even giving her those shares didn’t feel like enough.

After a moment of silence, he added, “I’m also the biggest shareholder of the short video tform you use

often.

“I’ll transfer half of those shares to you too. Before I took over Luke Corp, I started my ownpanies and invested in multiple industries. All of them were highly sessful. I’ve never really organized my portfolio, but I’ll have Ashton do bit /bas soon as possible. I’ll transfer half of industry andpany to you.”

Lily waspletely stunned.

She couldn’t believe James wanted topensate her with fourteen percent of Luke Corp’s bshares/b.

In recent years, Luke Corp had been bringing in over a hundred billion in annual profit.

Fourteen percent of Luke Corp…

That would give her billions in dividends every year.

She hadn’t expected James to be the biggest shareholder behind the most popr short video tform

And if he gave her half of those shares, the annual dividends would be unimaginable.
