MasukMy wife had called me in the middle of the night with a hint of drunkenness in her voice. She admitted to having too much to drink and asked me to come get her. I hurried to the private club she mentioned, only to find myself having to change into a bathrobe as soon as I got there. Surrounded by a group of wealthy women in their fifties, they playfully flirted and teased me relentlessly. Suddenly, a few of them pounced, pushing me to the ground and demanding I crawl like a dog. Despite the humiliation, my main concern was still my wife's wellbeing. Hours passed before she finally showed up, disheveled, supported by her male assistant, looking at me with a cold smirk. It was then that the truth hit me. This whole situation was a scheme she had orchestrated to please him. My anger rising, I called and spoke through gritted teeth, "Three days. I want every single business under the Spencers wiped out."

Someone posted her online. Guess she couldn’t take the shame and tried to kill herself.”After what happened that day with the Grants and the Xanders all present, she insisted on humiliating me in public. In the end, the stone she threw hit her own foot. Someone with ulterior motives leaked everything online, dragging the Spencers through the mud. It made perfect sense.I let out a bitter laugh and shook my head. This so‑called suicide attempt for me was just another one of Hailey’s tricks.Once I understood the truth, I was not even upset anymore. I actually felt relieved.For the first time, it really felt like I had let go.Suddenly, everything that came next seemed so much easier.The police soon uncovered everything about Bloom Haven.That place had been a nightmare for countless young men and women.Most of them h
The following day, my lawyer delivered the divorce papers to the Spencer family.Hailey immediately called me. Her voice quivered with sobs, as though she was begging. “Honey, I don’t want a divorce! We love each other. We really do!”Love? Perhaps it was two years ago. It had only been a year since Chris showed up, and all she had left for me was disgust.I replied in a cold tone, “Hailey, let’s end this cleanly. I won’t do a thing to you, but Chris is another story.”Hailey hurried to please me, “You can do whatever you want to him! He lied to me. He led me down the wrong path. Can we start over after you calm down? We can even have a child!”The moment she mentioned that I lost control and roared, “You’ve got some nerve bringing that up. A year ago, you had an abortion behind my back and told me it was for the sake of your career. Truth is, Chris didn’t want you carrying my baby.”Her voice shook. “How… how do you know?”I laughed coldly. “That coward spilled everything after
Hailey left the table to take a call. When she returned, her attitude suddenly became arrogant, and she lectured me,“Troy, this marriage is over, but I’m the one filing first, and since you’re at fault, compensation is non-negotiable!”When I did not respond, her voice rose a few decibels. “Troy! You got involved with a bunch of women behind my back! You may be a Zane family heir, but betraying your marriage so utterly, doesn’t that bring shame to the entire Zane family?!”I stared at her and realized just how skilled she had become at twisting reality.Hailey smirked and shook her phone triumphantly. “Nancy is sending me that video from that night. Soon the whole city will be laughing at you. If you kneel and apologize to me, maybe I’ll think twice before exposing you!”I glanced at her, and the final shreds of my hope faded away. Maybe I should not have had any expectations of her.Apologize? Perfect. That was exactly the video I had been waiting for.I let out a mocking laug
Before dinner, I threw on some casual home clothes and made my way to Spencer’s residence.The moment Mrs. Spencer saw me, her brows knit, and she snapped,“How dare you come here! Didn’t we agree that you’re not to set foot in here?!”Apparently, Mrs. Spencer had no idea about yesterday’s interview.I replied in a cold voice, “I’m here for Hailey.”She scoffed. “Hailey has become quite the celebrity in high society lately. She’s become the darling of countless society wives. And you? A broke nobody who can’t do anything useful. You’d better stay home and tend to the laundry and cooking!”I ignored her jibes and tried to step into the hall, but Mrs. Spencer blocked the way and scolded me,“I’m warning you. Our family has important guests today. Don’t come in looking like a poor fool and make a scene!”I smirked and replied lazily, “Then I won’t go in.”Mrs. Spencer crossed her arms. “Well, at least you know your place!”However, her satisfaction lasted only a few seconds befor
