Accused of Affairs, Guilty of Being Blind Chapter 9
Three days after Matthew was taken into custody by the tax authorities, the case against him for tax evasion was all but airtight.With extensive documentation in hand, Glover Group now faced more than just a suspension of business and steep financial penalties. Matthew himself was likely headed for prison.Tax fraud was only the tip of the iceberg. Investigators had also uncovered evidence that he paid off officials to secure Melanie's position and faked her academic credentials.The scandal had since erupted online.I unlocked my phone and scrolled through the latest news, amused by what I saw.I had to hand it to the internet. These people really know how to dig. It only took a few days for them to dig up everything on Melanie.Back in high school, she'd dated some thug, ended up pregnant, and stole class funds to pay for an abortion. The school caught wind of it and expelled her immediately.Melanie had even drugged the director of the TV station just to sleep with him and s

Matthew said, "Aurelia, I'll admit that when it comes to work, you know your stuff. That's exactly why you should be the one to handle the statement with the tax authorities."He pushed me forward.I sneered. "And why the hell would I? Do I own even a single share of Glover Group? And who exactly are you to me? I owe you nothing."He made it sound so reasonable, but I knew exactly what this was. Trouble was brewing, and he wanted me to take the fall for it.Seeing that his tough approach had failed, Matthew changed tactics and softened his tone. "I know I messed up before. I'm sorry, alright? After everything we've—"I didn't let him finish. Turning away, I slammed the door shut in Matthew and Melanie's faces.Matthew tried to turn to me for help, but the tax authorities cut him off and told him to cooperate with their investigation.Just then, Melanie glanced at her phone and instantly grabbed Matthew's arm like she'd lost it, panic written all over her face. "Matt, what do we

I blocked every way Matthew could reach me. There was no way for him to get to me now.Lately, the media had been all over him, churning out headlines like "Glover Group Busted for Tax Evasion", "Matthew's Affair Exposed", and "Fake Products Linked to Glover Group".Every time I checked my phone, his name was right at the top three on the trending list.I wasn't just sitting on my hands either. I'd been flooding inboxes with my resume, and bit by bit, the interviews started coming in.I was at home, going over my interview prep, when the door flew open with a kick. Matthew barged in, grabbed me by the collar, and yanked me up."Why'd you stab me in the back, Aurelia? What did I ever do to deserve this? We built Glover Group together, and now you're tearing it apart with your own hands. Doesn't that break your heart?""Break my heart?" I blinked at him. "What did I ever get out of that company? Why should I give a damn?"His grip slackened. The fire in his eyes wavered, then fade

When Matthew brought Melanie back from the sticks, the first thing he did was get her a place right by the city's TV station, like he just knew that was where she'd end up working.But as far as I remembered, Melanie's family had been so poor her parents couldn't afford to send her to school. She'd barely had any formal education.So, how did her resume list enough qualifications to get her a job at the TV station?There was only one possible explanation.I picked up a change of clothes from the hotel gift shop and headed to the restroom to get changed. I ignored Melanie's hateful glare and didn't even look in Matthew's direction.Once I was done, the hotel manager came over. Now that things had calmed down, he asked if we wanted to involve the police.I told him no and walked right out.Matthew snapped out of it and called after me, "What happened to you, Aurelia? You used to be sensible and understanding. And now you want a divorce? When did our love turn into something so wea

Matthew had been coddled his whole life. No one had ever laid a hand on him. His jaw tightened, and he spat out the word "Well" three times."Let's see how far that attitude of yours really gets you, Aurelia."Melanie broke into loud, theatrical sobs, wailing that I'd ruined her face. She even demanded compensation.I scoffed. "That face? Please. It wasn't worth a dime to begin with.""Aurelia Sorensen!" Matthew barked, pulling Melanie into his arms. "Shut that filthy mouth of yours!"And with that, his hand came up, ready to slap me.I grabbed his wrist mid-swing and smacked him hard across the other cheek.Now both sides of his face were on fire. He yelped, shoved Melanie off him, and staggered to the sink, frantically splashing cold water on his face.When he glanced up at the mirror, he saw three nasty red scratches running down his neck, left by my nails."Aurelia! What the hell is wrong with you? I'm your husband!""Oh, now you remember? Where was all that husband talk

The whole divorce thing just kind of died off. I was about to file on my own when Matthew called out of nowhere. Then he texted me an address and said to come immediately.I figured he'd finally made up his mind and was ready to end things. So, I grabbed my bag, jumped in a cab, and rushed over, only to find out he just wanted me to stand in for Melanie at some event."Mel interviewed those people a while back," he said, shooting a disgusted glance at the group in the private room."She helped boost their image, so now they're here with gifts to thank her. But she's busy now and didn't want to be rude by turning them down. Just do her this favor."I shot Matthew a cold look, realizing I'd been way too easy on him."Yeah, no." I turned to walk off. "Unless we're talking about splitting the assets, don't ever call me again."Matthew yanked me back and snapped, "Aurelia! What did Melanie ever do to you? She's just a sweet, harmless woman. Why are you so nasty to her?"And me? I wor
