The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2210

Everyone turned to stare at the intruder in absolute shock.

They weren't shocked by the scandalous news of Sellers keeping mistresses.

They were floored by what the middle-aged man had just screamed... Sellers Burton was sterile?!

Whether at home or abroad, for a massively wealthy family with an empire to inherit, producing an heir was the single most crucial duty.

If Sellers couldn't have children, his decades of ruthlessly expanding the business were essentially building a throne for someone else.

In this modern era, adopting an extended relative to take over wasn't widely respected.

High society lacked that ancient sense of collective familial honor. If personal interests were threatened, these elites would cut off their less fortunate relatives in a heartbeat. The old mindset of surviving and prospering as a unified clan simply didn't exist anymore.

Sellers had no heirs, yet the Burton family had numerous other ambitious children.

His position as the head of the family was now fundamentally unstable.

Even though Sellers had inherited his position legitimately, this public exposure guaranteed that the wolves within the family would start circling.

And even if the Burtons somehow remained loyal to him, the rival families watching this unfold would immediately start offering lucrative marriage alliances to the other powerful Burton members to undermine him.

Under relentless temptation and manipulation, loyalties were bound to fracture.

After all, human greed was the one thing you could never bet against.

Sellers had been highly volatile lately due to his sterility. After Shay, his absolute last hope, was proven not to be his daughter, he had lost the motivation to do anything at all.

Now, with his most shameful, deeply guarded secret broadcasted to the city's entire elite, Sellers was consumed by a murderous rage!

His eyes immediately bloodshot, his face twisting into a grotesque mask of fury.

But he was still the head of the family. He knew he had to lock down his emotions and maintain his composure.
