Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 137: A Cold, Cutting Smile
Pete walked out of the auction hall with long, decisive strides, his fingers interlocked tightly with Zoe's, moving with the kind of purposeful certainty that dared anyone to question him. The bright lights spilling from behind them poured onto their backs, casting long shadows that stretched across the polished marble floor like unfinished accusations waiting to be spoken aloud.Around them, murmurs rose and fell in waves, confused, indignant, endlessly curious. The very air itself seemed unsettled, as though the auction hall had not yet recovered from what had just unfolded upon that stage only moments before.Zoe leaned slightly toward Pete, her lips curving into a smile she tried, and utterly failed, to hide. Behind them, Petra staggered forward, her legs unsteady beneath her."Pete, stop right there!"Her voice cut through the hall, strained and hoarse, carrying more raw desperation than actual volume. The chatter around them died down almost instantly. Heads turned in uniso
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 136: The Vial of Red Fire
Minutes later, a hush gradually swept across the grand hall, spreading from table to table like a slow tide pulling back before a wave, as a lady dressed in a fitted usher's uniform stepped onto the stage with quiet, practiced grace. She carried a small white box cradled carefully between both hands, holding it against her body as though the smallest jolt might shatter whatever lay inside. When she finally reached the table positioned at the very center of the stage, she lowered the box down with exquisite gentleness and slowly lifted its lid.Inside, resting against soft white lining, lay a small glass vial filled with a red liquid so vivid it seemed to catch every beam of light pouring down from the chandeliers above, glowing faintly, almost hypnotically, like liquid fire trapped inside glass.A murmur rippled instantly through the crowd of guests, rising and falling like wind moving through tall grass.The usher straightened her posture and turned gracefully to face the sea of fa
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 135: The Confrontation
"Mocking guests like this?" Oscar Wesley repeated, his voice controlled yet sharp as a scalpel's edge. His gaze swept across Zoe Fox and the cluster of women behind her, measuring each of them from head to toe.Every eye within earshot had already begun to turn, drawn by the unmistakable scent of confrontation.Zoe scoffed, stepping forward with the confidence of someone accustomed to getting her way.Her chin lifted defiantly, her designer heels clicking against the floor with each measured step. "Mr. Wesley, here's some friendly advice," she said, her voice dripping with false concern that fooled no one. "This woman is nothing but trouble. Anyone who gets close to her will suffer. It's practically guaranteed."She paused for effect, letting her words sink in before continuing."She's trying to seduce you, can't you see? She's looking for her backup plan now that Pete has finally abandoned her. You're just the next target."The words echoed louder than she'd intended, bouncing off
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 134: The Auction House Showdown
The white SUV rolled to a smooth stop in front of the Chapman Auction House, its polished surface reflecting the towering glass façade of the building. The place looked exactly as it always had: grand, intimidating, and carefully designed to remind everyone who stepped inside that power and money ruled here. This was a place where influence determined value, and status opened doors that money alone sometimes could not.The rear door opened.Oscar Wesley stepped out first, adjusting his tailored suit before immediately turning back toward the vehicle. Without the slightest hesitation, he reached inside and carefully helped Petra out of the car, supporting her with steady hands as she slowly stepped onto the pavement.She was dressed in a simple white dress that flowed gracefully around her figure. There was nothing extravagant about it, yet its understated elegance drew attention naturally. Unfortunately, the pure white fabric also made the paleness of her face even more obvious.A
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 133: The Cancer Drug
Petra was wheeled straight into the operating room, the wheels of the gurney screeching faintly against the polished hospital floor.Every passing second seemed to carry her farther away from the people desperately praying she would survive.Malcolm and Oscar rushed after the medical team, their footsteps uneven with panic and their breathing ragged as fear pushed them forward faster than reason.Just as they reached the entrance, a nurse stretched out her arm firmly, stopping both men before they could take another step."Only authorized medical staff are allowed beyond this point," she said firmly, refusing to yield despite the desperation written across their faces.Neither man appeared willing to accept her words as Oscar instinctively moved forward while Malcolm stepped beside him, both staring past her toward the operating room as though determination alone could carry them inside.The nurse immediately shifted into their path once more before speaking with even greater authorit
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 132: A Heart Breaking in Silence
"Even the renowned businessman, Mr. Wesley is close with you. Ms. Chapman, don't you think it's shameful to be flirtatious?"That final question from the reporter sliced through the cold night air like a blade. The accusation was loud enough for everyone nearby to hear, and several other reporters immediately turned their cameras toward Petra, waiting eagerly for her reaction. Their flashing cameras illuminated her pale face over and over again, making it impossible for her to escape the public humiliation.Before Petra could even flinch, Oscar stepped forward, pushing past microphones and flashing cameras.His arm shot out like a shield in front of her."Enough!" he thundered, his voice vibrating through the tense atmosphere. "Don't spread rumors if you don't know the truth."His gaze didn't shift from the reporters, but the firmness in his jaw said he wasn't acting. Something deep inside him had reacted purely on instinct. At that moment, protecting Petra mattered far more than h
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 60: Truth Behind The System
“The ones addicted are you two.” Petra cut her off sharply, her voice firm and steady as it sliced through the tension between them. “A tiny company with terrible qualification like yours pulled strings. Or you wouldn’t even have the chance to stand here.”Her words landed heavily, and though she s

“Petra, this is eCloud Tech’s tender.” Zoe said to her, keeping her voice friendly, yet mixed with mockery. “What are you doing here?”Her eyes moved slowly over Petra from head to toe, lingering just a little longer on the elegant gown Petra wore, as if trying to convince herself that the sight be
