“Mr. Winslow,” Petra said, turning back to Oscar with a polite but slightly apologetic smile lingering on her lips. “I’ve got dinner plans with them tonight to celebrate. Why don’t we meet another time?”

The excitement from the unexpected invitation was still evident on her face, but she tried to keep her tone composed.

The group of engineers standing nearby nodded subtly as though confirming her words. The celebration had been planned earlier in the day after the successful completion of an im

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 127: The Return of the Fallen King

    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

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 126: Peace Was Never Meant to Last

    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.

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 124: The Brother He Misjudged

    The audit dominating every news headline stirred memories that some people had buried for years. While investigators continued sorting through financial records, another unexpected development quietly unfolded. A former employee who had worked closely with Paschal saw the reports on television and finally decided that remaining silent was no longer something he could live with. The guilt had followed him for too long, and every new revelation reminded him that the man everyone believed had disappeared as a traitor had never been given the chance to defend himself.Petra and Oscar were informed that someone wanted to speak with the audit team privately. They arranged the meeting inside a secured conference room away from reporters and curious employees. When the man entered, his nervous expression immediately caught Petra's attention. He looked over his shoulder twice before sitting down, as though he still feared someone might be watching him."My name is Daniel," he said quietly

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 123: The Words Hidden Between the Pages

    The conference room had become almost painfully quiet.Hours had slipped by unnoticed as Petra and Oscar continued sorting through the mountain of files that Paschal had left behind. Every document they opened seemed to challenge everything they had believed about him.Oscar leaned back in his chair and rubbed his tired eyes."I've gone through another stack," he said quietly. "And something still doesn't make sense."Petra looked up from the spreadsheet spread across the table."What did you find?"Oscar slid several printed reports toward her. "Look at these purchase requests."Petra studied them carefully. "They're from different divisions." She said, stunned. "Exactly." Oscar said. "He wasn't assigned to these."Oscar reached for another folder. "And neither was he assigned to these."Petra accepted the papers.None of them belonged to Paschal's department.She looked at Oscar."Why would he be checking records that weren't even his responsibility?"Oscar shrugged slowly. "That'

    The news of Zoe’s condition did not stay confined within the hospital for long. It travelled quickly through the people closest to her, carried in whispers, broken phone calls, and uncomfortable visits that ended almost as soon as they began.Her mother made sure of that.

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 94: The Cruelest Verdict

    Zoe had been in the hospital for days, but it felt longer than that. Time inside the ward did not move in a straight line anymore; it looped through pain, medication schedules, half-sleep, and the same unanswered questions that kept returning no matter how many times she tried to push them away.Th

    The atmosphere inside the hospital ward instantly became tense after Petra stepped inside quietly with Malcolm standing behind her.
