“What?” Pete said, struggling to contain the shock that surged through his body like a violent tremor. His voice came out strained and rough, as if the words themselves were too heavy to pass through his throat. “How is this possible?”

The call ended.

There was no further explanation from the man on the other end.

Pete slowly lowered the phone from his ear, staring blankly at the screen as though it might suddenly correct itself and reveal that everything had been a mistake. But the call log re

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 83: The Confession

    “Yeah. That’s what I thought.” Inspector Oseni said with a smile, nodding.Pete shifted back in his seat as he swallowed. His throat suddenly felt dry, and the earlier confidence he had been forcing around the officers was beginning to disappear bit by bit.His eyes remained fixed on the laptop before him, but his thoughts were already becoming disorganized.The footage he had just seen kept replaying repeatedly inside his head like a punishment he could not escape from.“I won’t say any more word until I see my lawyer.” He said, his eyes filled with guilt.Inspector Oseni leaned back slowly against the chair, his fingers interlocked calmly before him as though he was not dealing with a criminal case at all.Compared to Pete’s nervous state, the inspector looked completely relaxed and in control.“Do you feel guilty?” Oseni asked.Pete didn't answer.Instead, he shifted his face away slightly, his jaw tightening. His breathing had become uneven, and the silence inside the interrogatio

    Pete walked towards the front house, his both hands cuffed behind him while the officer trailed slightly behind him. His face looked pale, and sweat clung stubbornly to his forehead despite the cool morning breeze brushing against his skin.Every step he took felt heavy, as though chains were wrapped around his legs instead of only his wrists.His breathing was uneven, and the deeper he walked into the front compound, the louder the pounding in his chest became.Just before they reached the front, the other two officers inside the house earlier were already outside waiting.The third officer had called them earlier through the small intercom hung on his shoulder as soon as he caught sight of Pete trying to escape.Their eyes locked onto Pete immediately, and the expression on their faces carried no sympathy at all."You've just made matters even worse trying to escape, Mr. Jordan." The lead officer said, shaking his head slowly in disappointment. "It's obvious now you're guilty of the

    Before his househelp could say another word, he bounced the door shut, she shivered outside the room, her eyes widened, her heart racing.The loud sound of the door slamming echoed through the upstairs hallway, leaving Nicole standing there stiffly like someone who had just narrowly escaped danger.Her breathing became uneven as she stared at the closed bedroom door in confusion and fear. She had only worked in the house for barely a day, yet the atmosphere already felt terrifying.From the way Pete reacted after hearing the police were downstairs, even a fool could tell something was terribly wrong.Nicole swallowed hard and slowly stepped backward away from the door. Her hands trembled slightly against her apron as she kept staring toward the room uncertainly.The baby downstairs had finally fallen asleep after crying through most of the night, but now even she no longer felt safe remaining inside the mansion.Inside the bedroom, Pete stood frozen, thinking as he stared at closed do

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 80: Police in the Living Room

    Pete reached home that night, off the car and stayed inside for a moment, breathing fast, his hands still gripping the wheel tightly. The inside of the car was silent except for the rough sound of his breathing.Sweat covered his forehead despite the cold night air drifting faintly through the slightly opened window.His fingers trembled violently against the steering wheel as the horrifying scene from moments ago replayed repeatedly inside his head.The loud screech of the tires.Zoe's terrified scream.The sickening impact.The sight of her body rolling away from the car.The image of the man flying violently before crashing onto the road.Pete swallowed hard, his throat painfully dry. The alcohol clouding his senses earlier was fading rapidly now, leaving behind fear so intense that it made his chest tighten."Oh, god!" he gasped. "What did I just do?"His voice sounded weak and broken inside the dark car.He released a heavy breath and leaned backward against the seat, staring bla

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 79: The Night of Blood

    Pete rushed out of the café, his breathing rough and uneven as he stumbled after Zoe and the man walking ahead together. The cold night breeze hit his face repeatedly, but it did nothing to cool the anger and humiliation burning through him.His eyes remained locked on the pair ahead, especially on the hand wrapped around Zoe’s waist so comfortably.His fists tightened.The alcohol inside his system only made his emotions worse. Everything felt louder, heavier, hotter. His heartbeat pounded violently inside his ears as he hurried after them.“Zoe!” he shouted finally, his voice cracking through the night.The two of them stopped walking.Zoe released an irritated sigh before slowly turning around. The moment her eyes landed on Pete staggering toward them drunkenly, annoyance crossed her face immediately.“Oh God,” she muttered under her breath. “Why is he still following us?”Pete finally reached them, breathing heavily while struggling slightly to keep his balance. His shirt was mess

    “Get me a nanny,” Pete said harshly, his phone pressed tightly against his ear while he paced restlessly around the sitting room.His voice carried irritation and exhaustion, the kind that came from a man whose life had collapsed too quickly for him to regain balance.“Sir?” the lady on the other end, his former assistant, responded hesitantly, clearly caught off guard by the sudden order.Pete’s expression darkened immediately.“Are you deaf?” he burst out impatiently, his voice echoing through the quiet house. “I said get me a nanny to look after my child.”His breathing remained heavy after shouting. The frustration boiling inside him had become impossible to control lately.Every small inconvenience irritated him. Every delay felt like an insult.He dragged a hand through his rough hair while waiting for her response, but instead, silence greeted him from the other end of the call.And then Pete realized why.Money.Of course she was thinking about money.Just days ago, he was a w

    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 glass doors of Chapman Corporation headquarters reflected the bright morning light as Petra stepped out of the black car that had just pulled up in front of the building.The place stood tall and proud in the middle of the business district, its polished structure shining like a monument to pow

    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 fing

    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
