The courtroom was already crowded by the time the hearing began.

Rows of seats were occupied by observers, legal assistants, journalists, and curious members of the public who had managed to gain access.

The custody dispute had attracted far more attention than an ordinary family court matter, and the atmosphere reflected it.

Conversations filled the room until the court clerk announced the judge's arrival.

Immediately, everyone stood.

The room fell silent.

A few moments later, everyone resumed

    The next several days turned into one disappointment after another for Zoe.Every morning she woke up determined to fix her situation. Every morning she convinced herself that things would eventually improve if she kept trying. Yet every evening she returned home feeling worse than she had felt the day before.Her savings were shrinking rapidly.The hospital bills had taken a huge chunk of what little money she still possessed.The expensive lifestyle she had once enjoyed was gone.The people who used to surround her had disappeared.And now she needed something she had not needed in a very long time.A job.On Monday morning, she arrived at the first company carrying a neatly arranged folder containing her résumé and certificates.She sat nervously across from the interviewer while trying her best to appear confident.The middle-aged woman reviewing her documents adjusted her glasses and looked up at her."You certainly have experience," the interviewer said as she flipped through t

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 115: The Photograph

    By morning, the photograph had already begun spreading online.What started as a single image uploaded by an anonymous entertainment page quickly found its way across business blogs, celebrity gossip platforms, social media accounts, and corporate discussion forums. Within hours, thousands of people had already shared it.The image itself was simple.Yet it carried enough meaning to ignite endless speculation.It showed Petra and Oscar standing close together after the charity event.In one photograph, they appeared to be embracing, their lips too close like they were about to kiss.In another, they were clearly standing hand in hand.Neither image showed anything inappropriate.Yet neither image looked purely professional either.The internet immediately did what it always did.Assumptions. Speculation. Debate and judgement. Inside the headquarters of the Wesley family conglomerate, the situation had already reached the boardroom.Several board members sat around the long confere

    The charity event was being held at one of the most prestigious hotels in the city, attracting influential business leaders, politicians, celebrities, philanthropists, and members of high society. Crystal chandeliers illuminated the massive ballroom while soft classical music played in the background. Waiters moved elegantly between guests carrying trays of expensive drinks and appetizers.Oscar and Petra arrived together.What had originally been intended as a brief appearance quickly became the center of attention.The moment they entered the ballroom side by side, dozens of eyes turned toward them.Oscar carried himself with his usual confidence, greeting guests with polite smiles and firm handshakes. Petra walked beside him with the grace and composure expected of a successful CEO.Unfortunately for them, people were far more interested in their appearance together than the charity event itself.Near one of the tables, two businessmen exchanged curious glances."Am I the only o

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 113: Oscar Makes His Move

    Oscar arrived earlier than expected for dinner.The restaurant was one of the most luxurious establishments in the city, known for its elegant atmosphere, exceptional service, and breathtaking evening view. Oscar had intended to arrive before Petra so he could gather his thoughts and prepare himself for what he wanted to say that night. However, the moment he stepped inside and was led toward their reserved table, he realized he was already too late.Petra was already waiting.She sat gracefully by the window, dressed in a simple but stunning outfit that perfectly reflected the confidence and sophistication she had developed over the years. Her posture was relaxed, and she appeared completely at ease as she looked through the menu resting on the table before her.The sight of her immediately caused Oscar's heartbeat to quicken.For a brief moment, he simply stood there watching her.Then he walked forward."I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting." He apologized, taking the seat oppos

    Pete had spent almost the entire night thinking about Scorpion's proposal. Long after the prison lights had dimmed and the endless noise of inmates had finally reduced to distant murmurs, he remained awake on the narrow prison bunk, staring blankly at the stained ceiling above him. The offer lingered in his mind like poison. Joining a prison gang was not something he had ever imagined for himself, even after everything he had lost. He had already destroyed his own life through anger, recklessness, and bad decisions. The last thing he wanted was to sink even deeper into a world of violence and criminal loyalty. He had convinced himself that if he kept his head down, avoided trouble, obeyed the rules, and served his sentence quietly, eventually the years would pass and he would walk out of prison alive. Unfortunately for Pete, prison did not work that way. Inside those walls, peace was not something a person earned. Peace was something stronger men allowed you to have. And sometim

    Inside prison, Pete's life continued getting worse.The days seemed longer than they should have been. Every morning felt heavier than the one before it, and every night brought fresh bruises, fresh humiliation, and fresh reminders that the world he once controlled no longer existed. The respect he used to command outside these walls meant absolutely nothing here. In prison, nobody cared about his former wealth, his former company, or the expensive suits he once wore. To the inmates surrounding him, he was simply another prisoner.A prison officer escorted him down a narrow hallway lined with steel doors before stopping outside the administrative office.The officer opened the door.Pete stepped inside.His wrists were restrained in handcuffs, and two officers stood closely beside him.Behind a large wooden desk sat the prison warden, reviewing several reports.The older man lifted his eyes toward Pete and sighed heavily.“You do understand, Mr. Jordan, that the more you keep break

    Zoe’s lips curved into a satisfied smile, the kind that carried pride and a hint of arrogance.“Alright,” Zoe said casually, unfolding her arms as if she had finally made up her mind. She stretched her hands slightly and rolled her shoulders like someone preparing for something exciting. “I’m going

    The chaos inside the hall had reached its peak.Pieces of cake lay scattered across the floor, smeared under hurried footsteps. Fruits rolled lazily across the polished tiles, and fragments of wooden decorations were spread near the stage like the aftermath of a small storm.The once elegant event

    The entire hall had fallen into a strange silence after Petra’s cold declaration about the divorce.The atmosphere that had earlier been filled with murmurs and scattered arguments now carried a tense stillness, the kind that made every small movement feel louder than it should.Pete stood there fo
