Chapter 1

Author: Triple Threat
After setting down the documents, I observed the woman.

She was not as pretty as I was and could only be considered pleasant on the eye. She had a slim figure, though. It was highly likely that she had never given birth before. She lacked experience in life, but she had received a good education, at least, because when she mentioned that she was the mistress, she looked shifty, as if she were feeling awkward.

“Do you have any good plans for my situation, Ms. Clark? My boyfriend mentioned that it’s best for his wife to ask for a divorce on her own. After all, they’ve been together for a long time, so it’s embarrassing for him to ask for one.”

She pursed her lips and put on a bashful smile.

If it were not for the fact that I was certain that she had not recognized me, I would have thought that she was challenging me.

I put on a professional smile. “Miss Xander, how long have you been with your boyfriend?”

Claudia Xander was stunned. She had not managed to follow my line of thinking. “What?”

I spoke louder as I explained, “Before offering you any plans, I need to know all the details about how you got together.”

Understanding bloomed on Claudia’s face, and she spoke with a voice as soft as a dove’s. With every sentence she uttered, my smile dimmed a little more.

“I’ve been with my boyfriend for three years. We first met at a hospital. Someone from his family needed a surgery that day, and I think things were pretty bad for them. He was smoking in the stairwell because he was scared. I was passing by, and I offered him some words of comfort.”

She smiled bashfully as she blushed. “That’s how we got to know each other. In less than a week, he confessed to me.”

As I listened to Claudia reminiscing about her sweet first meeting, my heart ached. “Is today the date you met each other three years ago?”

“Yes. How did you know?” Claudia’s eyes flew wide open in disbelief.

I kept my smile, though it trembled. Of course I knew about the date, because three years ago, I gave birth to our first child in the hospital. Considering the time, I should have been lying on the operating table when they met. I had a difficult birth, and I had to switch to a C-section, during which I fainted three times.

The memories of the past turned into a poison threatening to consume me.

I sucked in a deep breath before asking my next question, “Do you know that he has a daughter? She’s three years old and has just enrolled in kindergarten.”

“I know, but that doesn’t matter.” The timid look on Claudia’s face was replaced by nonchalance. “He promised me that once he divorces his wife, I can be the girl’s stepmother. She’s still young and hasn’t really recognized who her mother really is yet. As time passes, she should be fine with whoever is her mother. Don’t you think so, Miss Clark?”

I clenched the documents so tightly that my knuckles turned white, but I nodded.

  • I Was Hired To Break Up My Own Relationship   Chapter 10

    “Even without Claudia, you would have still cheated on me with some other woman. You never ever loved me. You only loved my wealth and my family background.”At these words, I left the visitation room, and I heard Matthew’s loud cries coming from behind me. Perhaps it was only at this moment that he truly regretted his actions, but it was already too late. Once Matthew was captured, the company faced increasing operation difficulties. Since he had embezzled company funds and gambled with them, he was condemned to rot in jail for a long time, but I had invested in that company too, so I could not just watch it fall to ruin because of the mistakes Matthew had made.Fortunately, all of Matthew’s shares returned to my hands. I became the company’s largest shareholder, and after some thinking, I decided to keep it running. When I joined the company, many people did not think I would succeed, not just because I had the public image of a rich heiress who had never been involved in com

    “Alright. Whatever you say.”Right after I listened to the last sentence, I lost all my patience and sent all the evidence to the police. I absolutely had to make these two pay. News about the police investigating the company spread like wildfire. Matthew’s company was already hanging by a thread and only avoided bankruptcy thanks to my family’s help. Aside from the fact that it was under investigation, its stocks also plummeted. The bank called multiple times to demand payment. Meanwhile, he was stuck in jail and knew nothing about this. At the same time, word about Matthew cheating on me spread to every living person. As his affair partner, some attentive folks online soon doxxed Claudia. They noticed that three years ago, she had suddenly turned into an influencer, even though she had just graduated back then. She was even one of those influencers who flaunted her wealth. She had deceived multiple people by posing as a rich woman. She was presently being called out for owni

    The police officers only cast her a quick glance. They remained unmoved. They brought out handcuffs and put them on Matthew’s, his uncle’s, and his cousin’s hands. “We can’t just accept your testimony as sole proof that this is just a misunderstanding. We’ll know once we go back to the police station and investigate this thoroughly.”Then, the police officers left with these three.The sudden turn of events made Claudia faint. She could hardly bear this sight, since she had thought that she could marry into a rich family with her illegitimate baby. But everyone else was worried about Matthew being captured, so no one cared about her. Soon after I left the house, Skye, my childhood friend, sent me another document.[These are all Matthew’s assets. We’ve applied to freeze all of his bank accounts.]After a minute, he sent another text. [Take a good look, Tina.]His hesitation made me instantly know that there was some dirty secret in the documents. But I no longer cared. No

    “I don’t believe this! T-These are all fake! You made them up to compromise me!”He suddenly shoved Claudia away to charge at me and grab the remote. Then, as if he had gone mad, he yanked off the pen drive from the projector before throwing both devices on the floor and stomping on them. “These are all fake. Don’t believe in it.”As I stared at the crushed pieces on the floor, I said coldly, “You can destroy the remote and pen drive all you want. I have plenty of copies. Besides, do you really think that these are the only things I found?”“W-What else did you find?” Matthew asked with a quivering voice.When I remembered how he had let Claudia attend various events as Dulcie’s mother and involved my daughter, I seethed in rage. At this point, there was no need for me to hide anything from him anymore. I sneered and said, “You, your uncle, and cousin owe me a lot of money over the years, and it’s not just to do business, is it?”“What? What on earth are you saying? Of course

    When Matthew saw that I was not showing him any respect, his face turned red, then pale. He did not dare refute his relatives’ words, nor did he have the courage to refute mine. That was why he could only stew in anger and not say anything. He could only stand with his hands hanging by his sides, like a child who had done wrong. A long time passed, and no one said a thing. In the end, it was Olivia who spoke up. She cast aside her protective, loving attitude toward Claudia and came over to hold my hand as she said apologetically, “Tina, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have asked Matthew to hide this from you. But Claudia is already pregnant with Matthew’s child, and we can’t just not accept her… Matthew’s child is also Dulcie’s brother. So, for Dulcie’s sake, can’t you accept Claudia and forgive Matthew?”As I listened to Olivia trying to guilt-trip me and remembered all the fake kindness she had shown to me, I found my stomach could only churn in disgust. Before I could tear her hyp

    Matthew appeared dumbfounded as soon as he saw me.He could not understand why I was here instead of watching a movie at the shopping mall. Instinctively, he let go of Claudia’s hand. Then, with a quivering voice, he asked, “W-Why are you here, Tina?”This was the first time over the years that I heard such panic in his voice. He was looking everywhere but into my eyes. He had been lying to me for years, and I wondered whether he even held a shred of guilt in him. When Claudia saw me, her face turned very pale, and she could not say a single word. She had not expected to be happily bragging about her life as a mistress to her boyfriend’s actual wife.I walked into my in-laws’ place.The entire family lost their composure. They ducked their heads and did not dare look me in the eye either. Meanwhile, Olivia stood in a corner and looked troubled, even though she was usually on good terms with me and took great care of me. The relatives and friends who kept badmouthing me and pr
