To my surprise, I saw that tall figure standing out in the crowd. My heart raced, yet I wanted to avoid him. I felt too embarrassed to face him in such a setting.Matthew spotted Atlas as he entered. He rushed to greet him since today's event was to impress Atlas. I had not seen Nick, but I knew Matthew was anticipating Atlas’s attendance more.They exchanged a handshake. Despite Matthew's courteous words, Atlas maintained his composure. One of Atlas's attendants handed me a gift, but he didn’t pretend to offer congratulatory remarks.Honestly, it made me quite comfortable.Everything was transparent with Atlas. I imagined it would be awkward to put on an act with him. Matthew and Atlas exchanged polite pleasantries while I stood on the sidelines. Someone gently linked their arm with mine. A tender voice inquired, "Chlo, who is this gentleman?"I was taken aback, turning to find Melanie's smiling face. I had never seen such a shameless smile before.Seeing me unresponsive, Matt

I discreetly opened the door, slipping out of that private room and back into the main hall.Then I carried on as if nothing had happened, warmly greeting the guests and old clients. The long-time clients had become like family to us, supporting the entire Murphy family over the years.Everyone in the Murphy family was beaming with pride, especially Matthew. He proudly introduced our daughter to the guests, and I shook my head in disbelief.He thought that dressing Ava up like a little lady made her one. I was sure many people were watching the recent social media buzz. However, I hadn't caught a glimpse of Melanie.As Ava sat on her grandmother's lap, people were admiring her. My daughter's angelic beauty captivated everyone. Every time I saw her, my heart melted. If only she could remain this happy forever.Twenty minutes later, my phone rang, and I saw it was Atlas calling. I suddenly felt a mixture of nerves and apprehension. What was this man up to? Why insist on meeting me i

My reaction caught Atlas off guard while Ivanna ran over to pick up my crying daughter. She glanced at Atlas and then pulled me away.I was still trembling and vomiting when we reached Ivanna’s place. Since I had nothing to eat before, I could only vomit bile, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.Ava stayed beside me with widened eyes, concerned as she pleaded, “Mommy, go find Daddy!”I held and reassured her, “Be a good girl, okay? Mommy will always be by your side.”I couldn’t bear to tell her she might not have a father anymore. Once I calmed down, I called Adrian and asked him a few questions. Then, I asked Ivanna to help me with some tasks. She was the only one I could trust at that moment.She carried my bag the whole time. When I checked it, I noticed she had taken all my necessities. Afterward, I told her I wanted to go home, which startled her. “Why would you want to do that?”“I meant my home here,” I clarified.When we left Ivanna’s apartment, I was surprised to see At

Everything happened just as I had anticipated. Matthew’s scandal dominated the headlines of every major news outlet. I couldn’t help but admire the clever headlines the publishers created.Sure enough, I couldn’t escape this disaster either. After all, I was also the main character on our wedding anniversary. Although I was the victim, the humiliation was unbearable.The online posts were full of images and truths. One showed us gracefully welcoming our guests in our finest attire, while the other exposed our vulnerabilities. The news had tarnished the Murphys’ reputation.Fortunately, I had moved to Amethyst Apartments. I knew the reporters were searching for me and Matthew.Matthew wanted to say something, but a phone call from his father interrupted him, asking him to return home. Only Ivanna accompanied me when he left.That night, I discovered Lauren was no pushover. After losing her reputation once before, she went all out this time. Lauren vividly described Matthew and his

Melanie’s resilience impressed me, and I thought she was pretty shameless to say such a thing. After all, she was in a humiliating position herself.“Go ahead. I’m sure you never lack good news since you’re so shameless,” I retorted and met Melanie’s gaze.Unexpectedly, Henry spoke, “Stop being stubborn. You’re equally responsible in this situation. Don’t think everyone owes you something!”I stared at him and didn’t know how to respond. Soon after, Matthew entered and saw me holding Ava. He observed everyone’s expressions, then told me, “Let’s go home.”“Matt, why are you in a hurry to leave? I didn’t tell Chloe the good news yet,” Melanie sneered at him, “Do you even want to go home with her now? My child needs a father, too.”My mind went blank, and my head throbbed. I swayed, and Matthew came to support me. “Honey…”I looked at him. "Her child?"Matthew couldn’t bear to look into my eyes, and I realized Melanie’s claim was true. I couldn’t control my emotions as I asked, “Th
