“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 before her was somehow fake.

The grand lobby of the hotel buzzed with quiet, controlled excitement. Executives and company representatives moved about in tailored suits and elegant dresses, their voices

    Pete and Zoe walked in towards their reserved table, their footsteps echoing lightly against the polished marble floor as they entered the magnificent hall prepared for the eCloud Tech tender event.The space was grand in a way that instantly reminded every guest present that they were standing in the middle of something important, an opportunity where fortunes could change and companies could rise to new heights overnight.“Pete, look!” Zoe said suddenly, stopping halfway as her eyes widened with excitement while she slowly turned her head from side to side, absorbing the luxurious environment surrounding them. “So many top CEOs from the internet industry showed up today.”Her voice carried a mixture of admiration and disbelief. It was not every day someone like Zoe found herself standing among the biggest names in the tech business world.The entire hall was arranged with remarkable precision. Elegant round tables covered with pristine white cloths stood neatly in two long rows faci

    “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 before her was somehow fake.The grand lobby of the hotel buzzed with quiet, controlled excitement. Executives and company representatives moved about in tailored suits and elegant dresses, their voices lowered as they discussed partnerships, numbers, and opportunities that could shape the next few years of their companies.It wasn’t the sort of place where personal drama belonged, yet somehow, the moment Zoe spoke, the air around the three of them grew tense.“What else would she be doing?” Pete cut in before Petra could respond, his hands tugged deep inside his trouser pockets.He leaned slightly backward, his expression arrogant, like a man who had already decided the outcome of a conversat

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 53: The Shocking Arrival

    Pete and Zoe walked into the eCloud Tech’s tender venue together, their footsteps echoing softly across the polished marble floor as the grand entrance doors closed behind them.Zoe wore a navy blue gown that hugged her figure elegantly, the rich color bringing out the glow in her skin.Her hair had been carefully styled and neatly swept behind her shoulders, allowing the delicate silver earrings she wore to shimmer under the bright chandelier lights above them.Every detail of her appearance had clearly been planned to make a strong impression that night.Beside her, Pete looked equally refined.He wore a fitted black suit with a crisp white shirt underneath, the sharp cut of the jacket giving him an air of confidence and authority.To anyone observing them from a distance, they looked like a successful and powerful couple attending a prestigious business gathering.Both of them exhaled quietly as they absorbed the sight of the magnificent venue around them.The hall was enormous, wi

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 52: A Future Imagined

    “eCloud Tech’s tender invitation?” he read slowly, his eyes widening as the words settled clearly in his mind.A wide smile instantly found its way back onto his face, spreading across it with the kind of satisfaction that only comes when a desperate man suddenly sees hope appear before him.The red card gleamed faintly under the streetlight above them, its thick surface and elegant lettering confirming that it was no ordinary invitation.Pete turned it slightly in his hand as though making sure he had read it correctly.The frustration and anger that had dominated his expression just moments earlier melted away almost instantly.“Well, pretty solid, right?” Zoe said confidently as she noticed the excitement growing in his face.She leaned back slightly against the edge of the small café table, folding her arms across her chest as she studied his reaction. The faint smile on her lips showed that she had expected exactly this kind of response.Pete looked up at her again, still clearly

    That night, Pete was driving, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands stood out clearly under the dim glow of the dashboard lights.The car sped through the quiet city streets while the headlights sliced through the darkness ahead of him.His jaw remained clenched, and his eyes burned with an anger that refused to calm down no matter how far he drove.“Petra’s… you’ve grown woke wings now,” he muttered under his breath, the words dripping with bitterness as they escaped between his gritted teeth. His gaze remained fixed on the road, but his mind replayed the earlier scene over and over again like a cruel loop he could not escape. “I’d love to see how long you can keep this up.”The memory of Petra walking away with Oscar Wesley returned vividly to him. The way she had ignored his call. The way she had stepped into that car without even glancing back properly.Pete slammed his palm against the steering wheel once in frustration before gr

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 50: A Dinner Reserved For Two

    Oscar opened the large door to a spacious room that looked more like a grand hall than an ordinary restaurant dining area.The door swung open smoothly, revealing a softly lit interior that immediately drew Petra’s attention the moment she stepped inside.Petra walked in slowly, her steps naturally slowing as she took in the beauty of the place around her.The hall was arranged in a thoughtful and artistic manner. Tables were spaced out across the wide room, each one covered with crisp white tablecloths that draped neatly to the floor.Small centerpieces sat on each table, made up of delicate flowers arranged inside clear crystal vases. Candles rested beside them, their flames flickering softly.The chairs around the tables were upholstered in soft cream fabric, and the decorations were subtle but tasteful.Nothing looked excessive or overwhelming, yet every detail seemed intentionally placed to create a perfect balance of elegance and comfort.Petra slowly turned around, absorbing ev

    The tension inside the hall had thickened until it felt almost impossible to breathe, pressing against the walls and the ceiling and the chests of everyone gathered inside.Then suddenly, a man's voice cut sharply through the noise from somewhere in the crowd."Exactly!" he shouted, pointing an acc

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 20: Truth No Longer Hidden

    The hall remained frozen in a strange mixture of shock, anger, and restless curiosity.Every person present had now seen it clearly with their own eyes, and the truth sat heavily in the air like a storm that had finally broken open.Reporters shifted impatiently, their cameras still pointed at the

    “You actually hit me?”Zoe’s voice trembled with disbelief as she slowly straightened herself from Pete’s hold. Her hand remained pressed against her cheek where Petra’s slap had landed moments earlier.The skin there had turned red, and the burning sting still throbbed beneath her palm.She shook

    Pete finally finished buttoning his shirt, though his hands were still trembling slightly from the shock of what had just happened.The air around him felt thick and suffocating.Cameras were still flashing, reporters still crowding around, voices still rising from every corner of the hall.For a m
