Chapter 441
Having obtained Ariana’s present address, Neil and I drove there, following the directions from the
GPS.
It was amercial apartmentplex, with easy ess. Once we located Ariana’s apartment, we
knocked a few times.
But there was no response, no sign of life within.
Could they not be inside? Had they checked into a hotel instead? I was resolute, if I caught them in any
compromising position, I would document it and
hand it over to Ste. Mitch, as the guilty party, would stand no chance in the event of a divorce suit.
I had previously thought that if Mitch hadn’t made any substantial move, I would persuade Ste to give
him another chance.
But now, my thoughts changed.
Neil dialed Mitch’s number, and I pressed my ear against the door, hearing the ringtone echo from
within.
He was certainly inside!
As I pondered how to get in, Neil showed me his phone. It was a message from Gregory, who
shockingly knew Ariana’s door code.
This made things easier. I punched in the numbers from the message, and the door clicked open
quietly.
The apartment was a one-bedroom, one-living-room setup. The sound of running water echoed from
the bathroom. Ariana was probably taking a shower, which was why she hadn’t heard us knocking.
Suddenly, the water stopped, and Mitch’s phone rang simultaneously.
Wrapped in a towel, Ariana emerged from the bathroom. She didn’t nce towards the door but went
straight to the bed where Mitchy, snoring like a log.
She was turned away from us, checking Mitch’s phone before answering the call.
“Sorry, Ste, Mr. Mitch is asleep…” Ariana began, and I knew instantly that Ste was the caller.
I walked over, snatching the phone from Ariana’s grasp. She looked at Neil and me in disbelief,
seemingly unable toprehend our presence.
The call was still active. I picked up, and Ste was still ranting. I reassured her, “Ste, it’s me. Mitch is
drunk as a skunk and sprawled out on the bed, fully dressed. It doesn’t look like anything has
happened. Don’t worry, I’ll handle things here. You should get some sleep.”
“Rena, how did you…” Ste’s ranting stopped abruptly, reced by astonishment.
“Don’t worry about how I got here. Goodnight.” I hung up and handed the phone to Neil. “Hold onto
this.”
In this tense atmosphere, Neil was smiling, his perfect crescent-shaped eyes full of amusement.

I wasn’t sure why he wasughing. All I knew was that I wanted to tear Ariana apart.
“How did you get in?!” Ariana demanded, flustered yet trying to maintainposure.
“Have you no shame?” I shot back coldly, ignoring her question.
Ariana’s face changed, her eyes darting around but avoiding my gaze. “I don’t understand what you
mean. This is my apartment, so please leave.”
I pointed at Mitch, “He’s lying on your bed, and you’re asking what I mean? Ariana, stop ying games.
You’re only embarrassing yourself.”
Ariana managed a forced smile, “I’m not ying games. I saw Mr. Mitch had too much to drink. He was
alone and vulnerable at the bar, so I brought him back to rest.”
“Didn’t I tell you we wereing?” I cut through her lie. “If you were concerned about his safety, why
didn’t you take him home? You’ve been to his house for dinner, don’t tell me you don’t know where he
lives. And the bar is closer to his house than it is to here, isn’t it?”
Ariana was at a loss for words. She looked at Neil, pleading, “Mr. Whitmore, you know my character,
you should…”
Neil interrupted her, “I don’t know.”
I could tell he was not the least bit interested in Ariana.
Ariana paled, clutching her towel tighter. Suddenly, she let go of the towel, which immediately fell to the
floor, revealing her naked body.
I couldn’t fathom her actions. But after seeing her ample bosom, I had an inkling.
She was quite a sight.
Neil had already turned his back, reacting faster than I had.
“Are you out of your mind?” I was speechless at Ariana’s behavior.
“If you insist that my rtionship with Mr. Mitch is inappropriate, then now that Mr. Whitmore has seen
my body, doesn’t that make things between us even murkier?” Ariana’s words were a revtion.
I had seen plenty of videos about catching cheaters, heard stories too, but never had I seen a mistress
react this wildly.
Neil’s voice was cold, “I didn’t see anything. I’m not interested in you.”
Ariana must have been very confident in her figure. But Neil’s words were undoubtedly a blow to her
ego.
“Mr. Whitmore, you and Mr. Mitch are close, can’t you help him? There’s nothing between him and me,
you know that!” Ariana was starting to lose herposure, speaking with great agitation.
I started recording on my phone, “Don’t bother getting dressed. Tell the camera, what was that call from
his wife all about, huh?”
Seeing me recording, Ariana panicked, quickly picking up her towel and attempting to snatch my phone
away, “You can’t record this! That’s illegall
You better behave. Resign first thing tomorrow morning, and leave town within three days!” I
threatened menacingly, “Or else, I won’t care about legality. I’ll release this video, along with everything
you’ve done. In this age of the inte, how long do you think it’ll take for it to reach your family?”
I didn’t believe Ariana had reached a point where she didn’t care about her reputation, or the judgment
of her friends and rtives.
As expected, Ariana panicked at my threat, “Have you lost your mind? I haven’t done anything wrong! I
didn’t sleep with Mr. Mitch!”
“Of course not, because you simply didn’t have the chance,” I sneered. “Now, you only have two
options. First, resign and leave on your own. Second, I expose your dirty little secrets.”
Ariana was trembling with rage, while Neil showed no signs of intervening, let alone supporting her.
Mitch, passed out drunk on the bed, was oblivious to what was taking ce.
Ariana turned to look at him, her gaze filled with regret and resentment.
“Don’t even dream of it. He will never be yours. Don’t think for a second that he will be your ticket to the
top. You really think you’re good enough?” My words were sharp, but they were nothing less than the
truth.
