Actually, it’s Xander who sent the photo to Bryan’s phone.

He knew Amelia was hesitating in divorcing Bryan, maybe she still had some feelings for him, so he took the photo secretly and expose it to Bryan to accelerate their divorce.

He stepped forward towards Bryan and confronted him, “How could you beat a woman? Bastard, she’s your wife! How could you do this?”

Bryan saw that this man was the guy seducing his wife on that photo, and he angrily said, “You dare to come to my home, Bastard!”

“Yeah, I have. Because I won't let you hurt Amelia anymore!” He stared at Bryan’s eyes, firmly said.

Then he turned to Amelia, swearing affectionately, “Amelia, I swear...I will protect you forever.”

Initially, Amelia was a bit angry at Xander for showing up unannounced, but after hearing his heartfelt confession, especially compared to Bryan, Xander seemed like a perfect man. She was also moved by him and looked at him affectionately.

Seeing his wife gazing affectionately at another man in his home, Bryan felt extremely uncomfortable. With a dark expression, he warned Xander, "Get out of my house!"

“What if I don't?” Xander taunted.

Amelia intervened. “Xander, stop. This shouldn't cause a fight. We will resolve the issues.”

But Xander's gaze never left Bryan's face. “No, Amelia. I won't let him get away with this. He hurt you led your face injured. As an actress, face is wealth!”

Amelia was immediately impressed by what Xander said.

Bryan gritted his teeth and said with his face gloomy, “You think you're a hero by doing this?”

“At least I'm able to protect her from you, you’re a beast. She is the one feeding you, and you want to ruin her career!” Xander stated.

Bryan stared at him. He felt Xander looked awfully familiar once he saw Xander. Then he suddenly recalled it!

Amelia had a photo album some years ago, which was all about her and her first love. She named the album "Moonlight” and kept it secret.

Once he accidentally found the photo album, and she explained that she no longer liked Xander, it was just a souvenir of her youth.

However, it’s also a lie!

He turned to her. “we have been married for 5 years, Amelia, five good years! What's wrong with our marriage that you have to reconcile with your ex boyfriend?”

Amelia gazed back at him. She wasn't going to keep up with this any longer. Xander had proven he was the right person she needed...forever be.

She uttered, “Bryan, I'm over this. Let's get a divorce, yeah, I don't want you now, I want Xander. He is my true love!”

Bryan immediately felt disheartened although he had known things would come to this end. He was still sad for his marriage, and all those he had sacrificed...

He complied with her request to become a stay-at-home husband, providing her with emotional support and taking care of her. In order not to hurt her pride, he secretly arranged to support her career until she succeeded.

Bryan couldn’t understand...

Amelia continued and justified her reasons, “Bryan, you know… you were never up to my standard to begin with. Now I'm in a higher league, higher than you can imagine. In just a short time, I will become a well-known international actress. You can't be my husband, or it will be my forever smirch!”

“Amelia…”

“Yeah, you know that. You are useless, worthless, poor, and just an idle househusband. You can't add any value to my life.”

“I have high ambitions. I want to go places, but you… you are nothing, no ambition, lazy, and just wait around for me to feed you. You are satisfied with your status quo. You are even a disgrace to other men. It will be best if I just let you go,” she said, then dipped her hand in her bag and brought out a stack of papers containing a pre-draft divorce agreement.

“Sign, and let's end our false marriage here, you useless husband,” she threw it at him.

Bryan felt bitter. Her success was because of him. Everything she achieved, he made possible. He thought she was a devoted wife, and he couldn't just watch her struggle, so he helped her behind the scenes, and just yesterday, he made her collect the award. She had drastically changed.

Bryan not working was not because he was lazy, but when they first met, Amelia told him she wanted a husband who would be at home, not busy, and she wanted to see him every time she wanted. Bryan left his company to his subordinate to help her achieve that. Also, her mother forced him to do the chores anytime he contemplated working...

Bryan planned to tell her about his true identity last night after her initial success and transfer one of his successful companies to her as a surprise, allowing her to pursue filmmaking as a hobby rather than work.

However, she didn’t sign the transfer agreement while he had to sign the divorce agreement. How ridiculous!

He didn't even bother to talk again. He bent down, picked up the papers, and brought out a pen. He thought of all he had done and all the years spent together. He stared at her one more time, brought out his pen and, in pain, scribbled his signature on the agreement.

“Bye. but you will regret it.” Bryan calmly said.

"regret? I’m the fastest upcoming actress, you must be joking!"

As Amelia watched him leave, she felt something very important slipping out of her life. Her heart felt empty.

Xander patted her gently. “You did great, babe. It's better to let him go. Later, you will see how your life will improve.”

She stayed mute.

Then Xander added and assured her, “We will make a film, a blockbuster movie, with you as the female lead, and after that, we will announce our romantic relationship. Just envision how perfect that would be. Everyone will be jealous.”

Amelia nodded.

Actually, a movie with great potential directed by a great director was soon to be filmed. She was determined to secure the female lead role, and also she planned on recommending Xander as the male lead.

Xander hugged her and smirked. He had achieved the first step of his plan...
