Even though they were only on the phone, Shantal could practically feel Susan’s anger simmering through the line.It took a few seconds, but Susan finally spoke, her voice smooth, rehearsed , the perfect mask.“We’re family,” Susan began softly, as if Shantal hadn’t heard that line a thousand times. “I know you weren’t in the best mood that day. Regina and I… we’ll forgive you.”Shantal sneered to herself. She’s good, I’ll give her that. No wonder she played everyone so easily in my past life.Susan’s voice softened further, almost motherly. “Shantal, I know you’re busy with work, but you still have to eat. We’ve been waiting for you… I’ll go check if the soup is ready.”Before Shantal could shoot back another sharp reply, Susan hurriedly ended the call.Shantal didn’t waste another second thinking about it. She buried herself in work, pushing all unnecessary emotions aside.By the time she looked up again, it was nearly 7:30.Reluctantly, she grabbed her things and headed for the Ze

Shantal had lived with Ullysis long enough to know exactly what kind of man he was.If he was being affectionate now, it wasn’t out of love,just his usual brand of calculated games.She had no interest in playing along.But Regina, sitting across the table, didn’t know that.

Their wedding. Their children.And yet, here he was… softly teasing another woman.Shantal,

Ullysis’s voice came out low and harsh, almost grinding through his teeth. The look in his eyes was dark, nothing like the man who had once defended her against the Zellweger family.His words made Shantal frown. She thought the word cuckold would drive him over the edge. Yet instead of exploding, he only turned cold and silent. He was too arrogant, and that arrogance almost amused her. She wanted to see how far it would go.Official divorce or not, she no longer wanted to be tied to him. She realized she could not change his mind. Instead, her words had only made him more stubborn.So Shantal decided to provoke him again.“Of course, I wouldn’t mind,” she said smoothly. “After all, it is quite exciting to flirt with other men while still married.” Her eyes sparkled as though she truly looked forward to it.Ullysis’s face darkened. His voice cut through the air.“There is something I must remind you. Natalie is back. If you refuse divorce, will you force her to remain in the shadows a
