Chapter 11 - The Supreme Court TrialThe high-profile divorce and asset liquidation case of the family became the absolute center of national media attention. The trial courtroom was opened to the public. Mariana walked in wearing an elegant, stark white power suit—confident and untouchable. In contrast, Andrew entered with a wrinkled shirt, unkempt appearance, and a completely broken spirit.
The judge struck the gavel, calling the session to order.
Mariana's legal team presented irrefutable evidence of Andrew's infidelity with Brenda, the security footage of the assault at the mansion, and extensive financial statements proving V-Capital's survival depended entirely on Mariana's private wealth long before the marriage began.
SUPREME COURT JUDICIAL DECREE
--------------------------------------------------
1. Grant immediate unilateral divorce to Mariana Escalante.
2. Complete revocation of Andrew's executive and ownership rights.
3. Order Andrew to pay punitive emotional damages: $5,000,000.
When the final sentence was read, Andrew offered no resistance. He only looked toward Mariana, his eyes begging for mercy. "Mariana, did you ever truly love me? Was everything over the last four years just a lie?"

Mariana paused at the exit of the courtroom, looking directly into his hollow eyes.
"I loved you with my entire life, Andrew. That is exactly why I hid my identity as the Escalante heiress to simply be an ordinary wife by your side. But you killed that love with your own hands. The person who destroyed you is not me—it was your own insatiable arrogance."
