The next morning at the government building, I found Tyler waiting with Cordelia and Brielle, who were still treating the situation like an amusing inconvenience. When the clerk began processing the uncontested divorce, she recognized my name and verified my identity against the state financial database. She informed the stunned room that I was the primary shareholder and chief executive officer of Miller Tech Systems. The clerk then revealed that the stock market had just opened, pushing my personal net worth past three billion dollars and completely destroying the arrogant assumptions of my former in laws.
Cordelia immediately attempted to backtrack and falsely claim we were a loving family, while Tyler desperately apologized and asked to speak privately. I rejected their pathetic attempts to save the relationship, clarifying that I never wanted their money and only stayed out of a misplaced loyalty they had spent years destroying. I signed the official divorce documents with absolute certainty and walked out of the building into a crowd of waiting financial reporters. Leaving the shocked Harrisons behind in the lobby, I stepped into my new life with the empowering realization that true wealth is the freedom to walk away from those who do not respect you.
