At first, she assumed it was one of the engineers coming to submit another update. But when she lifted her head, her eyes widened instantly.

“Oscar?”

Her voice carried both surprise and delight.

The man standing before her looked slightly out of place among the hard hats and dusty boots. Oscar Wesley wore a neatly pressed shirt with the sleeves rolled up just enough to reveal strong forearms.

His hair was slightly tousled, as though he had rushed over without bothering to check a mirror. Yet hi

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 148: Take Revenge

    Zoe clutched the file tighter, her fingers trembling as she flipped through the pages again, as if rereading the words might somehow change what was printed there. The white paper blurred before her eyes, but that single bold line refused to disappear no matter how hard she blinked.BRAIN CANCER."I… I have brain cancer?" she repeated, her voice hollow, barely recognizable even to herself in that moment.Her legs weakened beneath her, and she staggered half a step back, instinctively leaning against the cool exterior wall of the auction hall for support. People were still moving in and out of the building around them, their ordinary lives continuing as if nothing monumental had just collapsed inside her world.But the shock that froze Zoe was nothing compared to the storm brewing steadily inside Pete.He turned sharply to face her, his brows knitted together in confusion and disbelief. "Zoe," he said slowly, searching her face for answers, "didn't you know you had brain cancer?"Her

    "As a nobody but an ordinary businessman, he tried to hit me," Zoe repeated loudly, her voice carrying across the open courtyard with deliberate projection. She rolled her eyes with exaggerated annoyance as she folded her arms tightly across her chest, her designer handbag swinging from her elbow with the motion.Her posture screamed entitlement, her chin lifted as though she already owned the verdict, as though the outcome had been decided the moment she opened her mouth to speak.Some people stopped entirely in the corridor, phones already rising to eye level around them."What?" Dr. Frost exclaimed in disbelief, his voice rising sharply before he could restrain it. His brows knitted tightly together as he stared at Zoe, trying desperately to reconcile her wild accusation with the man he knew standing calmly beside Petra, a man of integrity, skill, and quiet dignity.The disconnection between the accusation and the man was jarring.Zoe scoffed loudly and waved her hand dismissivel

    "Petra, didn't you say you were going to die last time?" Zoe said mockingly, her voice carrying clearly in the open space outside the auction hall. Daylight spilled generously across the marble pavement, reflecting off the glass façade of the building rising behind them.She tugged a slow, deliberate smirk onto her lips as she approached, her arms folding across her chest with practiced arrogance. "But here you are," she added, tilting her head slightly, her eyes glittering with malice, "alive and well."Petra halted where she stood. Oscar stopped beside her.For a brief second, the world felt strangely quiet, as though even the passing crowd sensed the tension thickening steadily in the air around them.Petra chuckled softly, the sound calm, almost genuinely amused. She turned her head slightly toward Zoe, her lips curving faintly upward. "Good people like me won't die so easily," she replied evenly. There was no weakness in her tone this time, only quiet, unshakable resolve.She t

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 145: Alive and Well

    Pete and Zoe walked into the hospital hand in hand, their footsteps echoing lightly against the polished floor beneath them. The smell of disinfectant hung thick in the air around them, sharp and completely unavoidable no matter which direction they turned.Nurses moved briskly past them, charts clutched tightly to their chests, while patients and their families occupied the long rows of seats lining the corridor on either side. It was daytime, and sunlight filtered in gently through the tall glass windows, casting pale, soft reflections across the white tiles beneath their feet.Pete's expression remained calm, almost indifferent, as though the chaos of the past days had already been neatly boxed away somewhere in the back of his mind.Zoe, on the other hand, leaned slightly into him, her grip tight, her steps carefully measured. To anyone watching them pass, they looked like a devoted couple, concerned, united, and entirely composed.Then Pete's phone began to buzz insistently in

    About three days later, Petra slowly drifted back into consciousness.At first, everything felt unreal, like she was floating somewhere suspended between two entirely separate worlds. Her eyelids fluttered weakly before finally opening, and the first thing she saw was a white ceiling flooded with harsh white lights pouring down over her.The brightness made her squint against it.Her throat felt painfully dry. Her body felt heavy, as though it no longer belonged to her at all."Am I dead?" she whispered faintly, her voice barely louder than a breath escaping her lips. "Why does heaven look just like a hospital?"The words sounded strange even to her own ears, but nothing else made sense to her in that moment. She couldn't feel pain the way she expected to. She couldn't feel much of anything at all, if she was honest with herself.Slowly, she turned her head to the side, every small movement costing her real effort. Her eyes drifted across the unfamiliar room until they landed on tw

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 143: The Woman Behind the Screen

    The studio lights glowed warm and steady overhead, casting a soft, professional sheen across the polished set where the evening's special segment was already underway. Seated at the center of the sleek anchor desk was a woman in her early forties, her expression showed a clean gravity of someone who had delivered a thousand headlines before this one. She folded her hands neatly atop the desk and looked directly into the camera, her voice calm but laced with unmistakable weight."Good evening, everyone. Tonight, we're bringing you a story that has taken the entire city by surprise, one that began quietly, almost invisibly, and has now exploded into something none of us saw coming."She paused, letting the words settle before continuing."As many of you have already heard, footage and eyewitness accounts from outside the Jordan Auction House have been circulating rapidly since this afternoon. At the heart of it all is a woman named Petra Chapman, a name that, until recently, meant ver

    She maintained that polite smile while she slowly removed his jacket from her body, her fingers moving carefully along the sleeves as though she didn’t want to crease it or mishandle something that had been offered with sincerity.The warmth it had given her faded almost immediately as the night ai

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 71: A Different Kind of Choice

    Petra and Oscar walked slowly out of the hall moments later. The tension from inside still lingered faintly in the air, but outside, the night felt calmer, cooler, and almost detached from everything that had just happened.Petra took a quiet breath as she stepped out, as though she was finally lea

    “Pete,” Petra said, looking at him with a faint, almost pitiful expression that carried neither warmth nor sympathy. “Your greed makes you change so quickly that I’m seriously impressed.”Her tone was calm, but every word landed with precision.Pete immediately started nodding, his face lighting up

    Petra walked closer towards Pete who was still on the floor, struggling to make sense of the whole situation.Pete remained seated awkwardly where he had fallen earlier, his body still bent slightly forward from the pain in his stomach, but the turmoil raging inside his mind was far stronger than t
