"How's that possible?" Zoe said, shocked and confused, her voice rising uncontrollably as disbelief washed over her entire face. Her brows were drawn tightly together, and her eyes trembled. "Uncle Gary, you must be joking. She's just an uncivilized orphan!"

She pointed fiercely at Petra, her trembling finger almost stabbing the air between them as anger and panic merged inside her voice. "All she has is a brother who leeches off her. How can she be in charge of anything or hold any power?"

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 164: A Storm Waiting to Break

    The news arrived quietly, almost respectfully, as though even the media understood that noise would be inappropriate this time around. Zoe Fox had been transferred to hospice care early that morning.No dramatic headlines. No flashing banners. Just carefully chosen words layered with implication beneath the surface.Petra saw it while standing in her bedroom, sunlight filtering through the tall curtains at Chapman Manor.Her tablet rested loosely in her hand as the headline scrolled past once, then again. Hospice care. End-stage management. Comfort-focused treatment.She read it twice, not because she didn't understand, but because part of her expected something else to appear on the screen.A correction. A reversal. A miracle even.But nothing changed on the page.Her thumb locked the screen, and she placed the tablet gently on the dresser, as if sudden movement might disturb something fragile inside her. Her face remained composed, but her chest felt tight, not with panic, not wit

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 163: Prepare Yourself

    Pete stood in the middle of the living room, unmoving, as the front door of the Jordan mansion closed behind him with a hollow thud. The sound lingered longer than it should have, echoing through the vast space like an accusation aimed directly at him.The house no longer smelled lived-in. No perfume. No laughter. No arguments. Just the sterile scent of polished marble and abandoned luxury surrounding him.The chandelier above him glowed softly, but the light felt cold. Every step he took echoed too loudly, reminding him of how empty the mansion had become without her presence.The walls, once filled with voices and plans and bitterness, now felt like silent witnesses to his downfall and everything he'd lost.He loosened his tie and tossed it onto the couch. It landed without resistance, sinking into cushions that had not been used in days.His phone buzzed once in his hand, a notification from a bank app he no longer bothered to open. He already knew what it would say. Frozen. Res

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 162: Welcome Home

    The iron gates of Chapman Manor slid open with a low, familiar hum as Petra's car pulled into the driveway. The mansion stood bathed in warm evening light, its cream-colored walls glowing softly against the darkening sky above.Tall trees lined the path, their leaves whispering gently in the breeze, as though the estate itself was welcoming her home after everything she'd endured.She stepped out of the car slowly, heels touching the stone driveway, and paused for a brief moment to breathe it all in.The air smelled different here; cleaner, steadier. Safe. A far cry from the sharp tension of public scrutiny, hospital corridors, and whispered threats that had followed her everywhere.Inside, the house was calm. The familiar rhythm of the grandfather clock echoed softly through the hallway.A housekeeper greeted her with a respectful smile, eyes shining with something close to pride. Petra returned the smile, then made her way into the dining room where dinner had already been laid out

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 161: Nothing Left to Say

    Even in the deepest hours of the afternoon, when visiting hours thinned and footsteps outside softened, machines continued their quiet vigilance without pause.A steady beep echoed through the room, slow and uneven, rising and falling like a fragile reminder that life was still clinging on, barely holding together.Zoe lay in the narrow hospital bed, her body sunk into white sheets that looked far too clean for the chaos raging inside her. Her skin had lost its glow completely, turning ashen, almost translucent under the harsh lighting.A faint line of dried blood lingered beneath one nostril, stubborn despite the nurse's earlier efforts to clean it away.Every breath she took seemed to demand effort, her chest lifting shallowly, as though her lungs had grown tired of their duty entirely.Beside her, Mrs. Fox refused to move from her spot.She sat in the same chair she had occupied since morning, her back bent, her fingers tightly wrapped around Zoe's cold hand in hers.Her lips move

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 160: A Warning from an Unknown Number

    Zoe stared at the screen for a long time before her trembling thumb finally tapped the message open.For a second, the words refused to register in her mind. They sat there, cold and sharp, as if deliberately waiting for her to fully understand them before cutting her open completely.'Don't ever come near me again. From today onward, you no longer exist in my life. You're fired. Everything that belongs to you here will be sent to your apartment today. Don't contact me again.'Her breath caught violently in her throat.She read it again. And again."No…" she whispered hoarsely, shaking her head against the pillow. "No, no, no…"The phone slipped from her fingers and landed on the bed beside her with a soft thud. Her eyes burned, but the tears didn't come immediately, as though her body needed a moment to catch up with her heart.It felt as if her body had frozen, as though even crying required strength she no longer had left in her.After everything she had done for him. After five y

  • Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge   Chapter 159: The Unread Message

    Zoe didn't remember when the dizziness started.One moment, she was standing by the roadside, waiting for her driver who had gone to settle a minor issue with a parking officer, and the next moment, the world tilted sharply to one side, like a badly balanced painting sliding off the wall.The noise of the street, honking horns, hurried footsteps, vendors calling out prices, blurred into a distant hum around her.Her hand went instinctively to her head.A sharp pain stabbed behind her eyes, fierce and sudden, forcing a gasp out of her throat. Her vision narrowed sharply. Faces around her stretched and warped, colours bleeding into one another before her eyes.She took a step forward, then another, but her legs felt like they no longer belonged to her at all."No… no, not now…" she whispered, her voice barely audible even to herself.Something warm trickled down from her nose, landing on the back of her hand. She stared at it in confusion for a second before realising it was blood.Th

    “Eric, trust me.” Pete said, reaching forward with both hands as though his words alone were not enough to convince him, his fingers wrapping tightly around Eric’s hands in a desperate attempt to hold him in place. “Once I have the money, I can start over. Trust me, okay?”His voice carried a strai

    Oscar opened the large door to a spacious room that looked more like a grand hall than an ordinary restaurant dining area.The door swung open smoothly, revealing a softly lit interior that immediately drew Petra’s attention the moment she stepped inside.Petra walked in slowly, her steps naturally

    Elizabeth had marched halfway into the grand hall in a storm of fury, but the moment she reached the center and noticed the cluster of reporters standing only a few steps away, she halted so abruptly that Kevin almost bumped into her from behind.The microphones stretched toward her like thin black

    Pete collected the file from Petra’s outstretched hand, his fingers tightening around the edges as his eyes dropped to the bold letters printed across the first page.The words DIVORCE AGREEMENT seemed to hit him harder than anything Petra had said that morning.For a brief moment he just stared at
