The Anniversary Surprise: Catching Her Red-Handed

"What about last night?" I asked flatly.Natalie immediately shot back, "Nothing happened! We booked separate rooms after the business dinner, but the shower in his room wasn't working, so he came to use mine."Seriously, William, are you listening to yourself? You swore at him over the phone, and now you're threatening to fire him? I'm married. Tyler and I really didn't—""Right." I leaned back in my chair, irritation creeping into my voice. "Natalie, do you take me for a fool?"We have a driver on call 24 hours a day. 'Pouring rain' isn't an excuse. And if the shower in his room wasn't working, why didn't he just call the front desk and ask for another room?"Thinking of the stack of evidence Anne had sent me, my expression hardened."The month I left, you bought him a three-million-dollar mansion next to the office. Three months ago, you bought him a Porsche."Last month, you took him on a private jet to an island resort, claiming it was a business trip. Natalie, do you hones

"William, calm down." Natalie's words tumbled out. "Tyler's cat is usually well-behaved. He came over with some documents for me to sign, but he wasn't feeling well. The cat must have slipped in when we weren't paying attention—""Natalie, there was nothing on that wall except my dad's portrait." I cut her off. "There wasn't even anything nearby for a cat to climb on. So tell me, how exactly did it jump high enough to knock the portrait down?"I pointed to the papers scattered across the desk. "And what about those documents? I locked them in the safe before I left the country. So how did they end up here?"Natalie opened her mouth, but no words came out.Just then, Tyler suddenly showed up. He dropped to his knees and slapped himself across the face a few times."Mr. Fuller, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'll pay for everything. Ms. Smith had nothing to do with this. Please stop giving her a hard time.""Who let you in?" My voice went cold.Tyler glanced at me. For just a

After that, I didn't even bother going back to that so-called home.I told the housekeeper to throw out everything Natalie and Tyler had touched, then checked into a five-star hotel owned by Fuller Group.Less than an hour later, someone knocked on my door.Expecting room service to drop off the wine I'd ordered, I opened the door without a second thought.A hard slap landed across my face before I could react, and I stumbled back against the doorframe."William Fuller! How could you be so cruel?"My ears rang from the blow.Natalie pointed at me and unleashed a torrent of abuse."I never knew you were such a vicious, despicable bastard! Finding excuse after excuse to bring Tyler down wasn't enough for you. Now you have to pull this kind of scumbag move behind his back?!"I dug my fingernails into my palms, holding myself back. "What the hell are you talking about? What exactly have I done?""Don't play dumb!"Natalie shoved her phone in front of me. The screen was playing a

I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and laughed coldly."Sure, Natalie did save my mom back then. But in all the years we've been married, has your family not gotten enough from me?"Who invested in your husband's failing logistics company and kept it afloat? Who paid off the millions your son owed? And that jewelry you're wearing—who bought it?"Rita couldn't refute that, but she still insisted I was in the wrong. "I don't care what happened. You had no right to hit anyone! Look at Natalie's face! She's your wife! How could you even hit her?""My wife? What a joke!" I pointed at the red handprint across my cheek. "Ask your precious niece if she even deserves to be my wife."Graham looked stunned.I opened my photo gallery and pulled up the pictures of the study."She brought another man into my house without my permission, then let him use my dad's portrait as a litter box for his cat. And after that, he even slept in the bed Natalie and I shared!"Graham's expressio

I turned and walked over to Tyler, who was curled up in the corner. His face was covered in blood.The moment he saw me coming over, he started trembling and scrambled backward."Mr. Fuller… Mr. Fuller, I'm sorry! I really am!" His voice shook, and tears and snot ran down his bloodied face. "I'll pay for everything. I'll pay you back!"I grabbed him by the collar and hauled him up. "Pay me back? With what? That was my dad's portrait. When you let your cat piss all over it, did you ever think about the consequences?"Tyler shook his head frantically, stumbling over his words. "I… I didn't mean to! The cat didn't know any better. I'll bring her to you, and you can do whatever you want with her, okay?""Didn't know any better?" I scoffed and kicked him hard in the stomach.He shrieked and dropped to his knees, trembling all over."The cat didn't know what it was doing, but you knew exactly what you were doing. You're the one who made it happen!" I roared.Desperate for help, Tyler
