Legally Her Husband, Emotionally the Extra의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 9

"What? Aren't you happy for me?"Selena Sander's voice was coated in ice, and her words stabbed into my eardrums like icicles. She didn't even look at me as she spoke, her gaze still locked on the man called Shane Johnson.It was as though he were her husband, whereas I was simply an insignificant bystander.Shane scoffed as he looked down at me arrogantly. "Adrian Luther, you really should be thanking me. If it weren't for my generosity, you wouldn't have been able to even touch Selena in this lifetime."Oh, wait. That's not right. What I mean is, without my sudden graciousness, you can forget about ever having a child with her."His words seemed to home in on the softest part of my heart and slice deep inside.For the past three years, I would take a small white pill every morning, as Selena had said she was allergic to latex, yet she couldn't bear the thought of me going for a vasectomy.Back then, she had said, "Darling, I know this is tough on you. However, you can stop aft

That place held everything I had given up for Selena.Now, I would find them and bring them back, piece by piece.…I parked the car in front of the abandoned warehouse that used to be my studio.Three years ago, I disbanded the team and abandoned the title of my genius hacker persona, "A", all for the sake of taking better care of Selena.At the time, I sealed everything away in this warehouse and told myself that my family was more important than my career.Now, I realized just how ridiculously wrong I had been.As I pushed open the dusty doors, the familiar tang of metals and electronic parts rushed into my nose. Then, I headed straight to the deepest part of the studio and yanked off an enormous dust cover. Underneath it was a matrix composed of row upon row of precision servers and over a dozen monitors.The instant I flipped the power source switch, a soft humming began while the monitors gradually lit up one by one, bathing me in a cold blue light.I sat down and allo

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

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

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
