Three months ago, inside the quiet maternity ward of the hospital, Petra lay weakly on the hospital bed after hours of painful labor.

Her body felt exhausted, but the soft bundle in her arms filled her with a warmth she had never known before.

She held the baby carefully against her chest, her fingers gently touching his tiny cheeks while her eyes shone with pure love.

The little boy slept peacefully, unaware of the storm that had brought him into the world.

Petra smiled softly as she studied h

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 129: The Collapse

    One week later...The grand conference hall of the Imperial Convention Center was filled to capacity with some of the biggest names in the business world. CEOs, investors, government officials, startup founders, and financial analysts occupied every seat, while dozens of journalists lined the back of the hall with cameras pointed toward the brightly lit stage.A massive digital screen behind the podium displayed the summit's theme."Leading Innovation in a Rapidly Changing Economy."Standing confidently behind the podium was Petra Chapman.Dressed in a navy-blue business suit that perfectly reflected her position as the Chief Executive Officer of eCloud Tech, she carried herself with the confidence everyone had come to associate with her name.Her voice echoed clearly throughout the hall."...Innovation is no longer about creating products that simply impress customers. Today's market rewards companies that solve real problems consistently. Technology should simplify life, improve pr

    "Mom." Pete called, forcing his voice low enough that Jason wouldn't overhear the confrontation. "Can we not do this right now?"Elizabeth Jordan turned sharply to face her son, disbelief written all over her face. "When should we then?" she shot back without the slightest hesitation. "Until this devil reaps you of your life? Because right now, that's the only thing you have left. Your life. Your family."Pete let out a long sigh.He knew exactly why his mother was reacting this way. She had watched him lose everything over the past two years. She had watched him dragged away in handcuffs. She had watched her family name become a national disgrace. Most painfully of all, she had watched her grandson grow up without either of his parents.From Elizabeth's perspective, Zoe was one of the people responsible for all of it.Pete slowly turned to Nicole and gave her a subtle nod.Nicole immediately understood.She crouched beside Jason and smiled warmly at the innocent little boy."Come o

    The reporters refused to let Pete leave without hearing more about what the future held for the man who had once dominated the country's technology industry. Microphones remained stretched toward him while camera flashes continued lighting up the front of the abandoned Jordan Group headquarters."Mr. Jordan, what comes next after today?" one reporter asked.Pete looked around at the crowd before answering calmly. "The past two years gave me enough time to reflect on my mistakes. I paid the price for them, and now I'm ready to begin again. I'm returning to business because that's where I belong.""So you're planning to rebuild?""I am," Pete answered with quiet confidence. "Jordan Group may be gone, but my experience isn't. Success isn't about how many times you stay on top. It's about whether you can stand up after losing everything. I intend to build another company, and eventually, I intend to compete at the highest level again."Another reporter immediately spoke up. "Are you sayi

    The television continued broadcasting the breaking news inside Petra's office, the anchor's voice filling every corner of the room as the screen displayed fresh footage from outside the state correctional facility. Petra remained frozen behind her desk, her eyes fixed on the television without blinking, her fingers still resting beside the pen that had slipped from her grasp moments earlier.The office door opened quietly.Malcolm stepped inside carrying a file in one hand. He was about to greet his sister when the report on the television caught his attention.His footsteps slowed.The file gradually slipped lower in his hand.His brows drew together.His eyes widened almost instantly as he stared at the screen, unable to believe what he was seeing.Without realizing it, he looked from the television toward Petra, only to find her sitting perfectly still, her face drained of every trace of color, completely unaware that someone had entered the office.He followed her gaze back to t

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 125: The Unexpected Freedom

    The truth had a strange way of arriving long after it was needed.For years, Paschal had carried the blame for crimes he had never committed. His name had been dragged through newspapers, whispered about in boardrooms, and condemned in courtrooms before anyone cared to ask whether the accusations were true. People had accepted the lies because they were easier to believe than the truth.Then everything changed.The investigation that followed the financial audit unearthed records no one expected to find. Hidden files, forgotten emails, confidential recordings, and testimonies from former employees painted a completely different picture. Piece by piece, every accusation against Paschal collapsed.He hadn't orchestrated the corruption.He hadn't manipulated the company.He hadn't betrayed the people who trusted him.Instead, he had spent his final months trying desperately to expose those who had.The public outrage was immediate.News stations that had once condemned him now apolog

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 124: The Truth Paschal Died Protecting

    The conference room had grown so silent that even the faint hum of the air conditioner sounded unnaturally loud.Every face around the table reflected the same mixture of disbelief and anticipation as Attorney Raymond placed another folder on the polished wooden surface. The evidence collected over the past several days had already dismantled years of deception, yet everyone sensed the biggest revelation was still waiting to be uncovered."There is someone outside requesting permission to testify," one of the investigators announced as he stepped into the room. "He claims he worked directly under Paschal for nearly eight years."Pete's attorney immediately exchanged a curious glance with Petra."Does he have proof to support whatever he's claiming?" the attorney asked cautiously.The investigator nodded. "He says he possesses emails, internal reports, and personal notes left by Paschal himself. According to him, he remained silent for years because he feared for his family's safety.

    Zoe raised her hand to knock at the door, but the door slowly opened on its own.She paused at the entrance, her fingers still hanging in the air where she had intended to knock. The silence inside the house felt strange.Usually, Eric kept the place neat, but today the living room looked completel

    The music inside the bar played loudly enough to drown out most conversations, yet Zoe still felt completely alone.She sat in a corner booth near the far end of the establishment where the lighting was dim and the attention of strangers rarely lingered.The air smelled of alcohol, cigarette smoke,

    The final day of the custody proceedings arrived beneath a sky covered by thick gray clouds.From the moment Zoe woke up that morning, a feeling of nervous anticipation sat heavily in her chest.
