Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

The annual financial review always arrived with a sense of routine pressure. It came with predictable deadlines, structured expectations, and the familiar weight of accountability. Petra had handled it before, but this year felt different in a way she could not immediately explain. Maybe it was because Pete’s shadow still lingered across the older contracts. Or maybe it was because too many recent discoveries had made nothing feel purely administrative anymore. She sat in her office early that morning, long before most of the staff arrived, staring at the stack of files arranged neatly on her desk. Each one represented a decision made years ago under Pete’s leadership, decisions that had once seemed standard but now carried a different kind of silence. Oscar entered without knocking, as he often did when urgency replaced formality. “You started without me,” he said lightly, placing a second cup of coffee beside her. “I thought I could get through the first set before

The conference room had become almost painfully quiet.Hours had slipped by unnoticed as Petra and Oscar continued sorting through the mountain of files that Paschal had left behind. Every document they opened seemed to challenge everything they had believed about him.Oscar leaned back in his chair and rubbed his tired eyes."I've gone through another stack," he said quietly. "And something still doesn't make sense."Petra looked up from the spreadsheet spread across the table."What did you find?"Oscar slid several printed reports toward her. "Look at these purchase requests."Petra studied them carefully. "They're from different divisions." She said, stunned. "Exactly." Oscar said. "He wasn't assigned to these."Oscar reached for another folder. "And neither was he assigned to these."Petra accepted the papers.None of them belonged to Paschal's department.She looked at Oscar."Why would he be checking records that weren't even his responsibility?"Oscar shrugged slowly. "That'

The conference room had grown so silent that even the faint hum of the air conditioner sounded unnaturally loud.Every face around the table reflected the same mixture of disbelief and anticipation as Attorney Raymond placed another folder on the polished wooden surface. The evidence collected over the past several days had already dismantled years of deception, yet everyone sensed the biggest revelation was still waiting to be uncovered."There is someone outside requesting permission to testify," one of the investigators announced as he stepped into the room. "He claims he worked directly under Paschal for nearly eight years."Pete's attorney immediately exchanged a curious glance with Petra."Does he have proof to support whatever he's claiming?" the attorney asked cautiously.The investigator nodded. "He says he possesses emails, internal reports, and personal notes left by Paschal himself. According to him, he remained silent for years because he feared for his family's safety.

The television continued broadcasting the breaking news inside Petra's office, the anchor's voice filling every corner of the room as the screen displayed fresh footage from outside the state correctional facility. Petra remained frozen behind her desk, her eyes fixed on the television without blinking, her fingers still resting beside the pen that had slipped from her grasp moments earlier.The office door opened quietly.Malcolm stepped inside carrying a file in one hand. He was about to greet his sister when the report on the television caught his attention.His footsteps slowed.The file gradually slipped lower in his hand.His brows drew together.His eyes widened almost instantly as he stared at the screen, unable to believe what he was seeing.Without realizing it, he looked from the television toward Petra, only to find her sitting perfectly still, her face drained of every trace of color, completely unaware that someone had entered the office.He followed her gaze back to t

"Mom." Pete called, forcing his voice low enough that Jason wouldn't overhear the confrontation. "Can we not do this right now?"Elizabeth Jordan turned sharply to face her son, disbelief written all over her face. "When should we then?" she shot back without the slightest hesitation. "Until this devil reaps you of your life? Because right now, that's the only thing you have left. Your life. Your family."Pete let out a long sigh.He knew exactly why his mother was reacting this way. She had watched him lose everything over the past two years. She had watched him dragged away in handcuffs. She had watched her family name become a national disgrace. Most painfully of all, she had watched her grandson grow up without either of his parents.From Elizabeth's perspective, Zoe was one of the people responsible for all of it.Pete slowly turned to Nicole and gave her a subtle nod.Nicole immediately understood.She crouched beside Jason and smiled warmly at the innocent little boy."Come o
