All Chapters of Dropped My Cheating Wife, Got a New One: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I was so furious that I laughed."Do you even hear yourself, Valerie? Why are you acting like you're a self-made employee earning a living with your own hands?""Of course, I know what I'm saying," Valerie snapped back. "Our arranged marriage is strictly business, Kieran. You've benefited from all the resources the Henderson family has brought to the table, so the least you can do is show some self-awareness as my partner."Archie is just an assistant. Do you really find it that fun to pick on him?"I looked out the window at the rolling sea of clouds and suddenly realized that this petty back-and-forth was indeed a waste of time."Valerie, since you mentioned that this is an arranged marriage, let's talk business.""Business?""Yes, business," I replied, straightening up in my seat. "Henderson Group and Pearce Group have six partnership projects, totaling 3.7 billion dollars."Right now, Pearce Group's stock is also taking a hit because of what your assistant did. We dropped t

Dressed in a custom black tuxedo, I stood in the center of the ballroom, handling an interview.A reporter asked, "Mr. Pearce, there have been plenty of rumors circulating about your marriage lately. What are your thoughts?"I smiled. "Today's the grand opening of the complex. Let's talk about business rather than my marriage life.""But rumors suggest you and Ms. Henderson are facing a marital crisis—""A marriage alliance…" I calmly interrupted. "...prioritizes mutual profitability. Ms. Henderson and I have always cooperated seamlessly on a corporate level."The moment the words left my mouth, a sudden commotion broke out near the doors of the ballroom.Valerie was here, with Archie beside her. He was dressed in a white suit—an out-of-season designer piece I had tossed into the clothing recycling bin last month, now clearly tailored down to fit his frame.What stood out most aggressively was the limited-edition Patek Philippe watch on his wrist. It was a custom Silverbrook pie

Back when Dad died, and Pearce Group was on the verge of collapse, Tristan had immediately cut ties and drawn a clear line between himself and our family.Now that things at Pearce Group had settled, he wanted to crawl back and demand a piece of the pie.I recalled Watson mentioning last week that Tristan had privately met with Valerie's executive assistant three times over the past two weeks. He had even sneaked into Henderson Group's headquarters and spent two hours inside.Back then, I assumed he was simply trying to cozy up to the Hendersons and never realized his calculations ran this deep."How's it going?" Stacey asked and glanced at my phone."The dogs are turning on each other."I closed my eyes and added, "I'll stay at the apartment tonight. I don't feel like going back there.""Sure."After the car pulled into the riverside apartment complex, she stood at my door and asked, "Do you need me to stay?""No need. I just need some time by myself," I said, shaking my head

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tristan roared. "Now I see, you're just a lunatic!"I looked at him and suddenly smiled.Then, slowly rising from my seat, I said, "Uncle Tristan, are you getting this agitated because you care about me, or is it because… you were the one who leaked all these details?"A dead silence fell over the conference room.Tristan's expression shifted. "Don't make accusations you can't prove! Watch it, or I'll sue you!""You'll sue me?"I unlocked my tablet and cast the screen to the projector, showing a series of bank statements.Over the past week, Tristan's personal account transferred a total of 3 million dollars to three media marketing firms. The exact timestamp of the transfers was the day before the leaks dropped.Next came his personal chat logs with a senior board member, Harold Fletcher. It clearly documented how Tristan had leaked corporate project proposals and split profits with Harold.Besides, the "insider" who had leaked my blurre

When I raised my hand and waved, Stacey immediately hit play on an audio player. A phone call between Valerie's executive assistant and Archie rang out clearly across the bridge."Archie, all you have to do is pretend you're going to jump. We'll handle everything else afterward, and once it's done, you'll get paid."Remember. Cry hard, look miserable, and lean over the railing as far as you can. We've arranged for reporters, and if your act is convincing enough, the pressure of public opinion will surely force Kieran to give in."Then came Archie's greedy and smug voice."Don't worry. I'll give you a perfect performance! But remember the one million dollars we agreed on. You promised that once this succeeds, I'll be promoted to the CEO's executive assistant with a six-figure salary. Don't go back on your word."The media went absolutely wild and pressed so hard against the police barricades that they almost knocked them over. The sound of camera shutters nearly drowned out the rus
