Chapter 408 - 393: Torn Apart (Part 2)

The proximity was so close that Alexander Johnson’s voice on the phone fell clearly into Chloe Simpson’s ears.

That voice, who else could it be but her husband Lucas Hughes.

Bang!

Her heart stopped.

The blood all over her body stiffened along with it.

Her brain crashed, leaving only one line.

On the first anniversary of their marriage, she had an affair, and the man she cheated with was her husband’s cousin.

"Cousin, I’ll send you Chloe’s picture, please help me find her..."

On the phone, Lucas Hughes’s voice continued, but Chloe could no longer listen to another word.

She felt like a death row inmate strapped to the execution ground.

Clenching her fists tightly, she closed her eyes, waiting for the impending death sentence of infidelity.

Divorce, and the child would go to her husband Lucas Hughes.

Suffer the sneers of everyone, becoming a woman everyone could scorn.

She thought of the worst result.

Unexpectedly, after the man looked at the photo, he glanced at her but only smiled faintly.

"Ha, Chloe. You also heard the call just now. I’m Lucas Hughes’s cousin, Alexander Johnson."

As the man spoke, he got up and dressed, each word was so light.

But in Chloe’s ears, it was like nails crying blood.

Breaking and bending her spine straight into her chest, rivers of blood flowed.

It wasn’t until she heard the man’s name that Chloe reflexively jerked her head up.

Alexander Johnson!

She stared intently at the man’s back.

Her heart was pierced by an arrow.

She was utterly dead.

Hahaha!

She couldn’t help but want to laugh, laugh until she cried.

Heaven really didn’t leave her a way out.

Alexander Johnson! It was actually Alexander Johnson!

She had heard Lucas Hughes say that he had a distant cousin and that his family was quite wealthy.

But she never thought that the distant cousin would be Alexander Johnson.

Indeed, the Crown Prince of Varden’s business world, the future heir of the Quinn Family, the richest in Kyohai.

It was said that Kyohai was as rich as a country.

So, it wasn’t that his family wasn’t wealthy.

"Now, Lucas is calling..."

"I know, cousin, none of this has anything to do with you. I will forget everything from last night and will... divorce Lucas."

Chloe was almost about to bite her tongue off saying the last two words of divorce.

Otherwise, what choice did she have?

With Alexander Johnson’s power, if she dared to expose him, she probably wouldn’t even know how she died.

To be fair, she only had herself to blame.

After drinking, she didn’t even see the person clearly before getting into bed.

Last night it was also her, initiating, pleading.

The blame lay squarely on her.

But, her poor baby.

Chloe instinctively touched her lower abdomen.

Gigi, I’m sorry. You’ve just arrived in this world, only a month old, and mom actually...

When she finished saying these words, she hesitated a little.

Did she really have a child?

But her heart was already hurting to the point of suffocation.

Tears fell drop by drop.

Until she suddenly heard Alexander Johnson’s voice again from above, she stood frozen in shock.

"Divorce? Did I say you could divorce?"

Chloe stared at Alexander Johnson adjusting his clothes in front of the mirror, tears painfully frozen on her cheeks.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, her face full of disbelief.

What did Alexander Johnson mean by this?

Not letting her divorce?

But last night they...

Alexander Johnson finished adjusting his clothes, turned around, and looked at Chloe.

"Last night was so thrilling, unforgettable, Lucas has really found a treasure. I’ve seen so many women, but none are like..."

As Alexander spoke, he took out his phone and snapped a photo of the naked Chloe.

At the moment of the camera click, Chloe looked up at him, and the moment their eyes met.

Alexander Johnson’s eyebrows furrowed, his hand shook, almost dropping the phone.

Confronted with Alexander’s intense gaze, Chloe, in a chaotic state, forgot all the disarray.

In the previous second, this man was speaking leisurely, unhurriedly.

In the next second, his face instantly changed.

As if Diablo himself had descended, ready to tear her apart.

Heh, rich people really are as unpredictable and unfathomable as the rumors say.

But that made it even scarier; she had now provoked this super wealthy Crown Prince, Alexander Johnson.

Chloe’s heart tightened, her fingers trembling uncontrollably, unable to grasp anything tightly.

Looking at the terrifying man in front of her, in a mere few seconds, she imagined countless tragic endings where Alexander Johnson left her without redemption.

"Chloe, well done."

Unexpectedly, in the end, Alexander Johnson nodded.

He only said this one line before slamming the door shut and leaving.

And Chloe, sat dumbfounded on the bed, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

At this moment, she wasn’t afraid, nor was she in chaos.

Instead, she was in a trance, bewildered.

Because in the last look Alexander sent her before leaving, she saw a trace of hatred.

She had cheated on him.

He loathed her, despised her, abhorred her, scornfully, even to the point of wanting to kill her, all that could be understood.

Why would there be hatred?

No, she must have seen it wrong.

The Crown Prince of Varden, the heir of the Quinn Family, hating her?

What was she to him, she really was overestimating herself.

Yes, she must have seen it wrong.

Understanding this, Chloe put down her thoughts and finally came back to her senses.

Only then did she remember that Alexander Johnson had taken her picture earlier.

She got up to chase after him, wanting him to delete the photo.

But after taking a few steps, the blanket slipped, her body went cold, and she realized she was naked, wearing nothing.

She had no choice but to turn back, hurriedly picking up the clothes on the floor, putting them on in a rush to chase after him.

But by the time she got outside, Alexander Johnson was already nowhere to be seen.

She didn’t have a phone, nor did she know where Alexander lived, so she had no choice but to give up.

Chloe stood before the opulent gate under the luxurious nightfall, her mind swirling with countless struggles.

In the end, she took a taxi home.

The phone was long dead, but fortunately, she had brought her wallet.

Forty minutes later, Chloe paid the taxi fare and returned home.

From entering the main gate of the complex to opening the door of her unit to pressing the elevator button.

Chloe repeatedly considered and struggled a thousand times over and over again.

When she reached the door of her home, as she entered the password, she made the final decision.

To tell Lucas Hughes honestly about everything, and then, divorce.

Since she was at fault, she would ask for nothing, leaving empty-handed.

As for the child, despite her great reluctance, if Lucas wanted him, she would leave the child with him too.

But after all, Gigi was still young and needed to be breastfed.

She only had one humble, small request.

To fulfill her duty as a mother by feeding the child.

Even if she couldn’t see the child, she would express milk every day and send it over.

After all, no man could tolerate a wife’s infidelity.

After preparing herself mentally, Chloe entered the password and walked into her home.

But she couldn’t have imagined that as soon as she pushed open the door, Lucas Hughes would rush at her like a madman, holding her tightly.

"Chloe, you’re finally back. Where did you go? You scared me to death, I couldn’t find you all night."

"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for taking you to Nightfall to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Although Nightfall is the most upscale entertainment venue in Kyohai, it’s still an entertainment venue and very chaotic."

"Anything could have happened. I was really terrified you... Luckily, fortunately, you’ve come back. As long as you’re back, everything is fine."

Lucas Hughes choked back tears, his eyes bloodshot, as he laughed and cried anxiously.

Seeing this, Chloe was filled with deeper remorse, guilt, and shame.

"Lucas, last night I..."

As she was about to speak, the baby’s cooing came from the master bedroom.

"Gigi’s awake, you should hurry to feed her. Mom said she fed Gigi formula last night, but she didn’t eat much. When she left this morning, she told me to make sure you fed the baby as soon as you got home."

Lucas Hughes was pulling Chloe toward the bedroom.

However, with a stronger pull, the buttons of her dress, which she hadn’t buttoned properly since hastily chasing after Alexander Johnson, popped open.

In an instant, the shocking traces of last night covered her all over, flooding into Lucas Hughes’s sight.
