    The video depicted Shane and Howard sitting in a dimly-lit private room.Shane slid a bank card to Howard before saying, "There's five million dollars on here. All you have to do is follow my instructions and slander Adrian's name at the celebration dinner. Once you've succeeded, I'll give you another five million dollars. "Remember, you have to say he stole your hard work and had you sent to jail."The audio was extremely clear, and Shane's face had been enlarged so much that every pore could be seen. The scheming look in his eyes had nowhere to hide.Immediately, Shane's face went deathly pale."T-This is fake!" he yelled hysterically."A fake?" I laughed. "Mr. Johnson, you seem to have forgotten that I work in this industry. Did you think that I wouldn't plant spies by your side when you had someone secretly take photos of me?"Following that, a second video began playing on the screen. This time, the focus was Selena. She was in a coffee shop, a woman sitting across from

    "Selena, do you think that all men are like you, willing to betray everything for the sake of their goals or benefits?"Stunned at my words, Selena fell silent."Did you just assume that all you needed to do was put on this pitiful act, drop a few tears, and say a few nice words, and then I'd forget about all that you've done to me and return to your side like a fool? Well, you're wrong."I stood from my seat and looked down at her."The only reason I agreed to this talk was because I wanted to tell you one thing—the game is only just beginning."With that, I left without looking back, even as Selena's muffled crying sounded from behind me.I had thought that would be the end of it, but it seemed I had underestimated her stubbornness and craziness.Just as I assumed I had everything under my control, she and Shane prepared their final attack against me.…Gaining the Skynet Project resulted in ATech's name spreading far and wide in the industry, and its net worth skyrocketed.

    Meanwhile, Sander Group also received a nice surprise from me.An anonymous email had been sent to Samuel. In it was a detailed report about how Shane's company had been evading taxes for the past few years, as well as evidence of his involvement in unfair competition.Even just one of these crimes would be enough to sink Shane's company.Samuel's hands shook as he read through the report. He never would've thought that the business partner he had been so proud of would turn out to be a ticking time bomb. The moment something happened to Shane's company, Sander Group, which was deeply tied to them, would definitely also suffer severely.He immediately called Shane and roared with unbridled fury, "Shane Johnson, just who exactly have you offended? You might have a death wish, but don't get us involved in it!"Shane was already at his wits' end and could only try to placate Samuel in a humble manner.Meanwhile, the instigator of all this—me—was currently lounging in my studio. Sipp

    Samuel then turned to look at Shane, who had joined the meeting due to being a collaboration partner.Shane had an equally dark expression, as Adrian's return was akin to a resounding slap across his cheek. The "gardener" he had always looked down upon had suddenly become his strongest opponent yet."Mr. Johnson, what do you think of this situation?" Samuel's tone was subtly interrogative.Forcing himself to smile, Shane replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Sander. That guy has been gone from this industry for three years, so he's definitely out of touch with the newest techniques. The Skynet Project is ours for the taking."Despite his reassuring words, deep down inside, he didn't dare take Adrian lightly. After all, he knew better than anyone just how capable A had been back then.After the meeting ended, Shane sought out Selena."That ex-husband of yours sure knew how to hide himself." An undercurrent of mockery lined Shane's words.Selena chewed on her lip, her eyes flashing with hatr

    Tears clung to Selena's lashes as she cried pitifully—a sight I once couldn't bear to see."I know I was wrong! I really do! Please give me another chance, okay? I won't ever meet with Shane again, and I'll have that tattoo removed! Let's just live a good life together, alright?"However, I merely fixed her with an indifferent gaze."Give you a chance? I already gave you three years' worth of chances, Selena. They ran out long ago, starting from the moment you had me take those harmful pills every day for the sake of another man. The instant you stood by and did nothing but watch as Shane humiliated me in public, all that was left between us was hate."A tremor coursed through her body at my words as she finally realized that I was serious this time.Her crying abruptly stopped and was replaced by an almost hysterical madness."Adrian Luther, who do you think you are?" She jumped to her feet and ripped the divorce agreement into pieces. "You're nothing but a dog the Sander family

    When I returned, Selena was sitting on the living room couch.She had changed into loungewear and tied her hair up with half-hearted effort. Her complexion was somewhat pale, while a cup of coffee rested on the coffee table, long cold by now.Judging from her appearance, she hadn't slept the whole night.The instant she saw that I was back, she stood up, a barely perceptible hint of anxiety crossing her face."Adrian, where did you go last night? I was very worried about you."I stared at her, finding her words incredibly ironic.She was worried about me? If she truly was worried about me, she wouldn't have said such hurtful words last night.Instead of answering her question, I came to a stop right before her."Let's talk," I said placidly, my voice calm beyond measure.Selena was momentarily surprised, but then she nodded and sat back down on the couch. She seemed to think that I would back down from the idea of divorce now that I had calmed down."Adrian, I know what I sai
