Lahat ng Kabanata ng Wait, I'm the Homewrecker Now?: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

As soon as the word "divorce" left my lips, the men in the restroom exchanged glances before bursting into roaring laughter.Stanley laughed so hard his whole body shook. "Did you all just hear what he said? He said he wants to divorce Susanne!""Divorce? Is this guy out of his mind? He's not even married to Susanne, yet here he is talking about divorcing her.""He'll go to any lengths just to see Susanne, huh?"Stanley waved his hand, and his underlings quickly pinned me to the ground. After walking over contemptuously, he crouched down halfway and patted the side of my face with his hand."So, you're that desperate to see Susanne, are you? Do you love her so much that you'd spin any lie just to get to her?"His gaze shifted from mocking to ruthless.He gripped my chin with full force and continued through gritted teeth, "You keep saying you want to see Susanne, but have you ever considered that if she really wanted to see you, I wouldn't be the one standing in front of you rig

Susanne hurriedly pulled Stanley aside. "Didn't I tell you not to call me 'honey' at the company?"Stanley froze for a moment. He probably hadn't expected that to be Susanne's first words upon seeing him."But he was the one who started it," he protested pitifully.Susanne looked up and, upon seeing me, froze in place. Then, she quickly pushed Stanley's shoulder. "Let him go now. And what have you stuffed in his mouth? Take it out right away!"Though reluctant, Stanley did as Susanne said.The moment I was released, Susanne immediately came to my side and walked a circle around me. "How did you get hurt so badly? Is it painful? Clayton, why didn't you call me when you came?" Susanne asked anxiously, her eyes filled with worry.Once freed, I gasped for breath in heavy, ragged gulps. Watching Susanne's facade of concern, I felt no trace of the tenderness I once had. Instead, there was only overwhelming disgust.Stanley seemed baffled by Susanne's concern for me. "You two know ea

Hubert cut in the second I stopped talking. "So, Susanne, your proposals have been falsified all along. Maynard Group values integrity in our partners above all else. If something like this can be forged, there could be even more down the line."I can't proceed with a partnership under such circumstances, so I'll have my lawyer contact you to discuss terminating the contract. Also, for all those involved in the group assault, I'll contact the police to open an investigation."As soon as Hubert finished speaking, panic spread throughout the office, especially for Stanley, who had been leading the charge with such arrogance just moments before.The police arrived at the scene shortly, and I went with them to provide a statement.After leaving the station, Hubert took me straight to the hospital to treat my wounds.Just as I finished getting patched up, I noticed Susanne standing outside the hospital entrance. She looked utterly worn out, her eyes red-rimmed and tearful as she looked

Realizing my mind was made up, Susanne panicked. She had worked so hard to climb to where she was today, and as long as I didn't relent, she would have no way to get past Hubert. In other words, her partnership with Maynard Group would inevitably come to an end.All the questions I had agonized over before were suddenly answered—I was never important to Susanne."Clayton, please agree to this, okay? As long as you agree, I'll do anything for you. If you want a divorce, that's fine. If you don't want one and would prefer to have a child, we can do that too. From now on, I belong only to you."I couldn't help but find her words absurd.During our marriage, I'd brought up having a child. But she always refused, saying her career was at a critical stage.I'd never imagined she'd be the one to suggest it now. To think she'd stoop to using a child as a bargaining chip."Susanne, you genuinely disgust me."I strode forward, heading straight for the courthouse.To my surprise, Susanne
