“Eric, trust me.” Pete said, reaching forward with both hands as though his words alone were not enough to convince him, his fingers wrapping tightly around Eric’s hands in a desperate attempt to hold him in place. “Once I have the money, I can start over. Trust me, okay?”

His voice carried a strain that hadn’t been there before, a raw edge of desperation that made it clear he was no longer the confident man who once gave orders and expected obedience without question.

  • 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 131: A Storm Outside the Summit

    "The summit is over and everyone is leaving." She said, looking boldly into his eyes. "I suggest you do same."It was a business summit that had brought together some of the country's biggest business elites under one roof. CEOs, investors, entrepreneurs, and influential personalities had spent the entire day discussing investments, partnerships, and the future of the business world. The event had just ended, and guests were gradually making their way toward the exits when Pete Jordan finally approached Petra Chapman.She didn't wait for him to reply. She turned sharply, ready to leave, ready to end this scene, end this chapter of her life, end every suffocating moment tied to him, when Pete stepped in front of her again, blocking her path with his arm like a wall."Wait right there!" he barked. His voice shook, not from strength, but from panic. "Even though we're divorced, you're still literally mine. You can't leave. You're going home with me.""Home?" Petra's laugh cut through th

    Oscar stared at the doctor as though he had suddenly stopped understanding the English language.His mind refused to process what he had just heard.The doctor's words echoed repeatedly inside his head.A history of kidney transplantation.Slowly, he turned toward Malcolm.His face was filled with disbelief.Malcolm, on the other hand, looked far calmer than Oscar expected.The surprise on his face wasn't nearly as intense.Instead, he looked as though an old memory had suddenly resurfaced.Malcolm shifted his gaze back to the doctor before giving a slow nod."Yes," he answered quietly. "She does."Oscar's eyes widened. "What?" His voice came out almost as a whisper. "How?"He looked from Malcolm to the doctor before turning back again."Wait... are you saying Petra donated one of her kidneys to someone..."He paused, struggling to arrange his thoughts. "...or someone donated a kidney to her?"Malcolm released a tired sigh.There was no way to explain something so enormous in the midd

    One week later...The grand conference hall of the Imperial Convention Center was filled to capacity with some of the biggest names in the business world. CEOs, investors, government officials, startup founders, and financial analysts occupied every seat, while dozens of journalists lined the back of the hall with cameras pointed toward the brightly lit stage.A massive digital screen behind the podium displayed the summit's theme."Leading Innovation in a Rapidly Changing Economy."Standing confidently behind the podium was Petra Chapman.Dressed in a navy-blue business suit that perfectly reflected her position as the Chief Executive Officer of eCloud Tech, she carried herself with the confidence everyone had come to associate with her name.Her voice echoed clearly throughout the hall."...Innovation is no longer about creating products that simply impress customers. Today's market rewards companies that solve real problems consistently. Technology should simplify life, improve pr

    "Mom." Pete called, forcing his voice low enough that Jason wouldn't overhear the confrontation. "Can we not do this right now?"Elizabeth Jordan turned sharply to face her son, disbelief written all over her face. "When should we then?" she shot back without the slightest hesitation. "Until this devil reaps you of your life? Because right now, that's the only thing you have left. Your life. Your family."Pete let out a long sigh.He knew exactly why his mother was reacting this way. She had watched him lose everything over the past two years. She had watched him dragged away in handcuffs. She had watched her family name become a national disgrace. Most painfully of all, she had watched her grandson grow up without either of his parents.From Elizabeth's perspective, Zoe was one of the people responsible for all of it.Pete slowly turned to Nicole and gave her a subtle nod.Nicole immediately understood.She crouched beside Jason and smiled warmly at the innocent little boy."Come o

  • 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

    “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

    “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 re

    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 rem
