Chapter 10

Penulis: Choco Cookie
"Marcus, please stop bothering me."

"I've already married Henry."

We had just left the courthouse after getting our marriage license.

After the banquet ended last night, Henry told me what I had said when I blacked out from drinking.

"Henry, why did you lie to me about not being interested in women?"

"Because that was the only way I could stay by your side and protect you. If I had told you I'd had feelings for you since we were children, while you were so in love with Marcus, you would have certainly cut ties with me."

My eyes instantly welled up, "So you waited for me all these years, and let me misunderstand you for so long?"

"It must have been so painful for you to watch me being affectionate with Marcus all that time."

I truly understood that bitter feeling, having walked a similar path myself.

Suddenly, I remembered when I first arrived at the orphanage as a child. I was only five, and Henry was already ten.

    "Great! How could such an interesting game not include me!"Three days later, my father hosted a grand banquet to announce my identity to the community.The event was attended by prominent figures from various fields, and even the mainstream media was present.Besides these guests, Officer Watson was there too—he had never given up helping my parents search for me all these years.My parents were surrounded by people, smiling so much they couldn't close their mouths.Just as everyone was coming forward to offer congratulations, a discordant voice emerged from the crowd.It was Marcus.Normally, someone of his modest status wouldn't be able to get into such a gathering, but I had deliberately arranged for an invitation to be sold to him.I knew he was desperate now, and connecting with Riverside City's wealthiest family would be his last resort.With a face full of forced smiles, he raised his glass to my parents and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."My father frowned

    Two months later, Marcus's company was just one step away from going public. Full of joy, he bought various trending topics to build anticipation.Lucia's reality show was about to air, and the trailer had already been released.That day, I reserved a private room at a luxury restaurant. Henry helped bring my parents along.My father asked suspiciously, "What are you two up to, being so mysterious?"I smiled cheerfully, "Mom, Dad, we want you to enjoy lobster while watching a good show."I turned on the television in the room and cast from my phone.Then I clicked on the top trending topic.[The Real Homewrecker is Lucia! Shocking Twist!]I had personally edited the content, which included certificates of all five divorces and remarriages between Marcus and me, along with every divorce agreement we had signed.It also contained the paternity test between Marcus and Morris, with a timeline comparison that proved he had cheated on me with his ex-wife during my pregnancy.I incl

    Lucia really knew how to play her cards well. Now that the person who lost the money wasn't pursuing the matter, I had no reason to call the police.I couldn't be bothered to argue with them anymore. I went upstairs, had Marcus process my resignation paperwork, and then left with Henry.On the way, Henry asked me, "Do you want me to terminate all our partnerships with them?"I shook my head, "Help me investigate the biological relationship between Morris and Marcus. If they're not related, I'll consider it my final act of mercy toward him. If they are, then wait for my signal.""Okay.""By the way, do you still stand by what you said last night?"I looked at him suspiciously, "What? What did I say?""You really don't remember anything?"Seeing my completely confused expression, his face turned melancholy, but he didn't say anything more.Three days later, Henry came to see me with a report.Although I had mentally prepared myself, my hands still trembled as I opened it.When

    My fists clenched involuntarily again.Lucia approached with a smile to greet me."What a coincidence that Georgina is here too. I brought my son to discuss the filming content with Marcus."Morris clung to Marcus's leg, looking at me timidly, "Daddy, I'm scared of this lady. Can you make her leave?"Marcus coughed awkwardly and explained to me, “He only calls me that because of the show's requirements. Don't misunderstand."By the way, since Lucia and her son are both here, why don't you apologize to them?"I glared at him with a cold smile, "I won't! She's the one who keeps seducing my husband. If anyone should apologize, it's her!"Marcus looked displeased, "Do you have to make everything so complicated?"Unexpectedly, Lucia grabbed Marcus's arm, "It's okay. If she doesn't want to apologize, it's not a big deal."Then she walked to my car and began stroking it admiringly."Marcus, you know about your loving husband image in the media. Could I borrow this car? We could tell

    "Marcus, I've known you for so many years. I never imagined you could be this stupid!"If I'd known it would be like this, all the feelings I've invested would have been better off thrown to the dogs!"Marcus sighed on the other end."Georgina, don't say things out of anger. As long as you're willing to return the car and apologize to me and Lucia, I'll treat you the same as before.”I cried out in surprise, ”What? Who does she think she is? Why should I apologize to her?""Georgina, please stop making trouble, okay? Do you know how embarrassed she was when you suddenly showed up yesterday? If she hadn't quickly made up that story, the fact that you and I were married would have been exposed. Then she would have been criticized for breaking up someone's family. Do you know how important reputation is for a celebrity?"And your behavior yesterday made Morris cry. You need to take responsibility. Be good and come apologize to them."Furious, I shouted into the phone, "She's afraid
