Chapter 0001

Edward heard the voices of a man and a woman in the bedroom when he pushed the door open.

"Darling, hurry up... I'm about to climax."

"Hold on, I'm going for the final sprint."

"Oh yeah, oh yes...Don’t stop!"

"......"

And the sounds of the bed violently shaking were heard.

Boom!

Edward felt like he was being shelled, the bouquet of flowers in his hand dropped to the ground, his face turning pale.

The woman speaking in the bedroom was Susan Carey.

Susan was Edward's wife.

In college, they were the enviable model couple.

After graduation, he married into the Carey family and managed a small vet clinic.

He loved Susan so much!

Edward never expected that she would betray him.

Hearing the man's heavy panting and his wife's wild moans in the bedroom, Edward became furious, clenched his fists, and strode angrily toward the bedroom.

He wanted to drag out the two and give them a good beating!

However, as his hand touched the doorknob, he suddenly calmed down.

What good would exposing this affair do? Would Susan change her mind and return to him?

Though only separated by a door, Edward felt as if a vast distance lay between him and her.

Forget it, just get a divorce!

Now that their love has come to an end, then he should keep the last bit of decency and dignity.

Edward took a deep breath, quelled the anger in his heart, and turned to leave.

Coincidentally, at that moment, with a high-pitched scream from the woman, the absurd adultery in the room ended.

"Hurry up and get dressed, Edward is about to get off work, it'll be bad if he sees us!"

"So what if he sees? That weakling, I bet he doesn't dare to say anything. He is a coward."

At these words, Edward stopped in his tracks, furrowing his brow.

The man's voice sounded familiar.

He then heard Susan coquettishly say, "Darling, you're awesome! By the way, how's my promotion going?"

"Don't worry, I am the future master of the M.C&Dickens. As long as you serve me well, the promotion is just a piece of cake."

Upon hearing this, Edward immediately identified the man in the room.

William Michael, a playboy who acted arrogantly due to his father’s social position.

Edward had heard many rumors about William, such as coercing female employees, pressuring his pregnant girlfriend to have an abortion, and even seducing married women...

In short, William Michael was truly a despicable guy!

Susan actually hooked up with such scum for a promotion?

Edward felt his heart being squeezed by an invisible hand.

Inside the bedroom.

"Darling, will you marry me if I divorce Edward?" Susan stared at at William's sturdy back,her eyes full of expectations.

"What? Divorce? Are you crazy?" William, who was putting on his clothes, looked stunned, his face darkening.

He had an immoral sexual fetish - seducing married women.

It made him feel a special sense of conquest in bed.

But Susan said she wanted to marry him!

How could it happen? He’s the heir of the M.C&Dickens. His future wife should be a noble lady instead of a second-hand and shameless woman.

"Aren’t you willing to?" Susan’s voice sounded a little unhappy.

"Of course, sweetie. I am willing to. Absolutely, I swear." William changed his expression, turned around with a smile, and held Susan's hands affectionately.

However, his tone shifted, "But what if that guy Edward doesn't agree to divorce?"

"That bastard must agree!" Susan said firmly.

Outside the bedroom, hearing Susan call him "bastard", Edward's breathing quickened, and his face flushed with anger, like a volcano about to erupt.

Bastard... or rather, fatherless child.

Although Susan's insult was too much, what she said was true.

It was his most difficult secret, which he had only confided in Susan, because she was his wife, the person he trusted the most.

"Edward is a fatherless bastard?" William asked curiously.

Susan replied, "Until now, Edward doesn't even know who his biological father is."

"He doesn't even know who his father is? His mother must have kept quite tight lips, though it seems that her lips below didn’t keep that tight..."

William burst into laughter.

Edward's forehead veins bulged. He would not allow anyone to insult his mother.

Bang!

In anger, he kicked the door open!
