Divorce After Betrayal Chapter 9
Daphne's scream echoed through the empty reception room, every word filled with bone-deep hatred.I watched her manic expression and felt only absurdity and pity.I picked up the old diary and turned to the page she had mentioned. The entry was there.It recorded Elias's despair and suffering, accusing his closest friend, Felix, of betrayal and plagiarism of his life's most important work.The date was twenty-five years ago."See it clearly now?" she sneered. "This is the blood debt your family owes mine."I closed the diary and looked at her calmly. "My father died in a car accident when I was five."Daphne froze."And my father's name was Adrian Cross. Not Felix Cross."I pulled out my phone and opened an old archived document, placing it in front of her. "The Felix Cross you're talking about really was my father's close friend. And yes, he did plagiarize your father's work and submit it to a competition."But my father discovered it and exposed him on the spot. He was perm

I thought everything would end there, but a few days later, Lucas handed me a background investigation report about Daphne.The report uncovered the roots behind her obsession and materialism.Daphne's father, Elias Sinclair, had once been a brilliant oil painter who spent his entire life in poverty.When Daphne was still in college, her father's paintings continued to go unsold. Combined with years of poverty and depression, he eventually chose to end his life inside his own studio.That incident became an eternal scar in Daphne's heart. She believed that the vulgar world, which was obsessed only with money, had killed her father's art.So she became obsessed and desperate for success, eager to prove herself with wealth and status, and to prove her father's worth as well.To her, the boyfriend who ran a "small design studio"—me—looked like a repeat of her father's failed life.Meanwhile, Ronan's extravagant life as a wealthy heir looked like success.At the end of the report,

After the chaos in the conference room ended, Daphne was stopped outside.Once I finished handling the remaining matters, I left the building with Lucas at my side.Daphne was waiting at the entrance. The moment she saw me step out, she rushed forward desperately."Landon!" She tried to grab my arm, but the bodyguards beside me blocked her without hesitation."Landon, I was wrong... I was really wrong... please forgive me, okay?" Her tears fell like rain, her makeup smeared across her face.She looked pitiful. Disheveled."I didn't know... I didn't know you were the Mr. Cross of Apex Capital… Ronan tricked me—that scumbag!"I just... I just wanted to succeed so badly. I didn't want to live a hard life anymore..."I stopped walking and looked at her quietly. "So that's your reason for betraying me? Because you thought I was poor and couldn't give you the life you wanted, you felt perfectly justified throwing yourself into someone else's arms."And then, together with him, humil

Inside the top conference room of the Stellar Club, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating.Victor Ashford, chairman of the Ashford Group, sat restlessly in his chair, waiting. When the conference room doors were pushed open, he looked up.The first thing he saw was his son being dragged in by two men in black suits. Ronan looked like a beaten dog.Victor froze in shock. Then his gaze shifted.Behind them, surrounded by a group of executives, was me. Even with injuries still visible on my face, the presence I carried filled the entire room.Victor's face instantly drained of color. "M-Mr. Cross?!"With a loud thud, he slid straight off his chair and rushed toward me, scrambling across the floor."Mr. Cross! W-what is going on? Why is that ingrate with you?"Before I could say anything, he spun around and swung his arm with full force. The slap cracked loudly across Ronan's face."You worthless animal! Did you offend Mr. Cross? I'll beat you to death, you useless

"Apex Capital?"The moment Ronan heard the name, his eyes widened sharply. The arrogance on his face froze.That was the lifeline his father had spent months begging for—an investment that would determine the survival of their family business.He stared at me, as if trying to find a crack in my expression. Suspicion and fear filled his eyes.Daphne looked equally unsettled. Something seemed to occur to her, and her face turned pale.Just as the entire hallway fell into a suffocating silence, the elevator chimed.Ding.The doors slid open slowly.A group of men in black tailored suits stepped out briskly.Leading them was my chief assistant, Lucas Shaw.The powerful aura surrounding them—the kind that warned strangers to stay away—instantly silenced the neighbors who had been watching the spectacle.Lucas spotted me immediately, lying on the ground and covered in injuries.In an instant, his face turned to ice. His eyes sharpened like blades. He strode forward, ignoring Rona

They dragged me roughly toward the elevator lobby. Every violent tug pulled at the wounds across my body.Ronan still wasn't satisfied. He chased after us and drove several brutal kicks into my stomach."That's for harassing Daphne again! "That's for not knowing your place!"Aren't you a designer?" he sneered. "Let's see how you draw after this."He planted his foot on the back of my right hand. The hard heel of his leather shoe twisted slowly.Blinding pain exploded through my nerves, darkening my vision.These hands had once drawn countless designs for Daphne. They had created one-of-a-kind jewelry just for her. They had sketched the dream home we planned to build together.Now her new lover was trampling them in the most humiliating way possible.In the struggle, a rolled-up set of drawings slipped from the inner pocket of my jacket and fell onto the floor.It was the wedding gown sketch I had stayed up several sleepless nights designing for Daphne.Ronan noticed.
