Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 31: When Truth Breaks Illusions
"Really?" a female guest asked, her voice filled with undisguised astonishment as she turned toward the people standing beside her, her eyes moving back and forth between Malcolm and Petra repeatedly."Petra's brother is the CEO of Chapman Corporation? The very guy everyone in New York City respects and fears?"Her words spread through the hall the way sparks spread across dry grass, fast, catching on everything they touched, unstoppable the moment they found fuel.Murmurs rose immediately, rippling outward from where she stood until they had reached every corner of the room.The name Chapman Corporation was already powerful enough on its own to command immediate attention in any gathering of people who moved in business circles.But the revelation that its CEO was standing right here, right now, in the middle of this hall, and that he was Petra's brother, was something else entirely.It changed the geometry of everything that had already happened tonight, recontextualizing each momen
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 30: A Powerful Name
Pete struggled as he began to rise from the floor.Zoe helped him up quickly, her arms wrapping around his shoulders as she tried to steady his trembling body. "Pete, are you okay?" she asked anxiously, her voice tight with worry and her eyes scanning his face for damage.Her fingers clutched the front of his jacket as if she genuinely feared he might fold again the moment she let go.Pete did not answer her immediately.The pain from Malcolm's kick still burned fiercely in his stomach, a deep, radiating ache that pulsed with every breath he drew, but the humiliation burned far worse and far deeper than any physical blow could reach.Slowly, he straightened himself, brushing Zoe's hands away from his jacket with a quiet, tight irritation that he didn't bother to disguise.His breathing remained heavy and uneven. The anger boiling inside him had drained the color from his face, leaving it pale and rigid, stretched tight over the bones beneath.His finger lifted slowly.It pointed direc

“Petra,” Malcolm called as he hurried forward, his long strides quickly closing the distance between them.His normally composed expression was replaced by visible worry as he reached his sister and immediately took her hand in both of his. “Are you okay? Did they hurt you?”The concern in his voice was unmistakable.For a man known in business circles as cold, calculating, and almost impossible to read, the protective warmth he showed now was startling.Petra looked up at him, the tension that had surrounded her for hours finally softening slightly when she saw her brother standing there.“Don’t worry,” Petra said, smiling with quiet reassurance. “I’m fine. They were yapping uncontrollably,” she added calmly as she briefly turned her head to glance at Pete and Zoe standing nearby before returning her gaze to Malcolm. “So I considered it a post-meal show.”A faint chuckle escaped her lips.Her composure was remarkable considering the storm that had erupted around her.Malcolm studied

Pete chuckled, shaking his head. “Petra, are you done playing games?” he said with open ridicule. “You think you can ruin me? You’re just a housewife without a job. You wouldn’t last without me. If I go down you’ll crash just as hard.”He pointed at her fiercely, his finger cutting through the air as if he were reminding her of a reality she had no escape from.His laughter carried confidence.To Pete, Petra’s bold claims moments earlier sounded nothing more than empty threats.He believed he had already stripped her of everything that could make her powerful.She had no job.No visible connections.No family standing beside her.At least, that was what he had always believed.The guests nearby exchanged quiet glances, watching the confrontation unfold like a dramatic performance they had paid to witness.“I don’t get why Pete chose to marry someone as dramatic as you,” Zoe said mockingly as she folded her arms across her chest.Her lips curled into a condescending smile as she studie
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 27: The Name Behind Power
The moment Malcolm Chapman’s name was indirectly mentioned, the atmosphere inside the hall shifted again, this time with a different kind of tension.Conversations that had been scattered around the room suddenly focused on one subject.The guests who had originally come merely to enjoy a high-profile event now found themselves standing inside what felt like the center of a brewing storm.“Wait, is he referring to the powerhouse behind EcoHills’ economic lifeline, with international reach?” one guest asked loudly, his voice filled with disbelief as he looked toward Pete.The man’s eyes were wide, and the shock in his tone quickly caught the attention of the people standing nearby.“I heard they only invest in billion-level deals,” another guest said quietly to the first speaker, leaning closer as though sharing a dangerous secret. His voice was lowered to almost a whisper, yet the intensity in his words made several listeners lean in as well. “How did Pete of all people secure their f
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 26: The Power Behind The Name
Pete stood frozen for a moment after Petra finished thanking the reporters.The confidence on her face, the calm way she had spoken about exposing everything, and the quiet approval from the reporters around her all pressed heavily against his nerves.His jaw tightened.Slowly, he bit his lip, tilting his head slightly as he stared at her as though trying to understand the woman standing before him.“Petra, are you insane?” he finally said, his voice low but filled with restrained fury. The words escaped through clenched teeth. “You’re fueling the scandal instead of containing it? Do you know what this kind of news will do to the share price?”His voice echoed across the hall.Several people shifted uncomfortably at the mention of the company. For many of them present, the Chapman Corporation was not just a name. It represented influence, wealth, and power that stretched far beyond ordinary reach.Pete stepped closer toward Petra as he spoke, his eyes flashing with frustration.For hi
