I Skipped His Cheating Scandal for Work のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

Austin Cole didn't seem surprised that the subject of divorce was brought up.After all, it wasn't the first time I'd threatened to divorce him. Maybe it had worked the first few times, but after hearing it enough, he'd grown tired of it.As expected, he didn't believe me this time."Tell me, how are you going to make a scene this time? Photos? Videos? Calling the cops?" Then, his tone shifted as he asked, "Or are you trying to end up in prison?"I froze. He was threatening me, and he had the power to actually send me to prison.Austin was a lawyer. Every time I caught him cheating, he'd turn around and represent Ellie Foster in court. Standing on the plaintiff's side, he'd describe in detail how I'd harmed an innocent young woman.He demanded that I compensate his mistress financially and issue public apologies. He even monitored my social media every day, forcing me to post apology statements.Every word of my statement had to pass his inspection. He and Ellie would review eac

The moment Austin and Ellie heard me clear my throat, they immediately stopped. When Ellie saw it was me, she wrapped her arms more tightly around Austin and shot me a smug look.She had already been angry that Austin had changed his ringtone. Now that I'd appeared in person, she found the perfect target for her frustration."What are you doing in my home? Have you no shame?"Her home? Last I checked, this was Austin's CEO office suite, which meant it was our marital property. If anything, it was my home. But I wasn't interested in arguing over that."I just came to deliver something."The moment she heard that, Ellie clearly assumed that this was my latest scheme to fight over Austin. But she wasn't worried. After all, she was carrying his child. She walked toward me, excitement written all over her face."Ms. Parker, there's actually something I wanted to tell you too. I'm pregnant. You should be happy to hear that Austin is going to be a father, right? You know how badly he'

When Austin asked what was on my mind, I still refused to talk to him.A flash of anger crossed his face. He looked ready to press me again when his ringtone suddenly blared through the room."Dear husband, answer your phone! Leave your grumpy old wife and come see your princess Ellie!"The air turned stale. He hurriedly explained, "Ellie's pregnant. I had to change it back."I nodded and said, "We're already divorced. You don't need to explain yourself to me."That only made things even more uncomfortable.He stood there silently, staring at me as his phone rang incessantly. Just as he was about to hang up and continue questioning me, I answered the call for him. Ellie's voice immediately came through the speaker.Apparently, her pregnancy hormones were acting up. She felt miserable whenever Austin wasn't around. He had to soothe and reassure her over the phone.After hanging up, he glanced at me helplessly."I know you're upset that I'm having a child with someone else, but

When we arrived, Austin was indeed at home.He hadn't worked in a long time. He hadn't even realized he'd been pushed out of the company until he showed up at the office. Things had fallen apart badly for him.When he saw me, his face flashed with hatred, anger, and resentment. He couldn't understand how I had suddenly just stopped loving him. I used to treat him so well, forgiving him over and over again. Why had I suddenly become so ruthless, joining forces with the executive board to kick him out?"What are you doing here? If you're here to make peace, you can forget about it! Although, if you can show a little sincerity, maybe it's not entirely impossible."His tone was somewhere between questioning and hysterical.I got straight to the point."Didn't Ellie tell you? I'm here to reclaim my house! Have you forgotten? This house belongs to me too."Austin froze. Ever since signing that agreement, he no longer owned any assets in his name. To make matters worse, he'd spent a

This was the perfect opportunity to pressure me, and Ellie didn't waste it. She sent me a message."If you're willing to give us half of the assets, I'll delete the post and tell everyone it was all a misunderstanding. You worked so hard to take Cole Group away from Austin. I'm sure you wouldn't want to bear the responsibility of the company going bankrupt."I read the message and smiled. Ellie was practically handing me exactly what I wanted on a silver platter.When Danielle found out, she sighed. "They're trying to drag you down with them."I knew that, of course. I had already prepared a complete plan. After I explained it to Danielle, she agreed it would work, and I immediately put it into action.When the post first appeared, the company's PR department wanted to respond, but I stopped them. They were baffled. Some of the old men on the executive board thought I'd lost my mind.After all, the company's losses were already significant. On top of that, netizens were tearing m
