Chapter 218


    The next evening, in a luxurious hotel suite.


    A steamy affair was unfolding, filled with moans and heavy breathing.


    “Brother… you’re amazing… How can you be so amazing?”


    “Baby… I love it when you call me that, call me ‘Brother… say it a couple more times…”


    Mr. Mayhew was uttering obscenities, but deep down, Shelby was hoping he would finish soon.


    To climb to the position of the Director of the News Department, she had to sacrifice her body time and


    time again.


    As they were getting passionate, the room’s door suddenly burst open with a loud crash!


    “Ahh!”


    Shelby let out a piercing scream and hurriedly rolled off the old man, diving under the covers.


    Mr. Mayhew, stark naked, hastily got out of bed, picked up his underwear, and, upon looking up, was


    shocked!


    “D…Darling?!”


    “Zaiden, is this your little slut you keep outside?”


    Mrs. Mayhew looked down on Shelby with contempt. Standing at 1.75 meters tall, she appeared-


    exceptionally sturdypared to an average woman.


    She removed her coat, revealing a pair of muscr arms that made Shelby shiver all over. “Hmph, I


    thought she’d be something extraordinary, but she’s just a wilted cabbage.”


    “She’s not even worthy of being called a seductive vixen, she’s only fit to be a chamber pot!”/


    Before the words even finished, Mrs. Mayhew went straight to Shelby, seized her by the hair, and


    yanked her out of the duvet. She raised her arm and smacked Shelby three times, drawing blood from


    her lips.


    The wind roared, providing such a satisfying relief!


    “Ahh! Mr. Mayhew Save me… Save me!” Shelby cried in pain, her head throbbing, tears flowing.


    But Mr. Mayhew didn’t dare to intervene, he was as meek as a quail, trembling in fear!


    At this moment, Mrs. Mayhew’s assistant, apanied by tworge and burly bodyguards, walked


    into the room.


    “Come on,e on! Everyone,e and witness this! A fresh ‘little third party’ hot off the press! A


    disgusting


    home-wrecker who seduced our big sister’s husband! A pair of cheating lovers caught in the act by our


    big sister! Don’t miss out as you pass by!”


    The assistant held up her phone, recording and livestreaming the entire scene.


    Mr. Mayhew and Shelby were both dumbfounded!


    “Zaiden, kneel before me!”


    Mrs. Mayhew roared, Zaiden immediatelyplied.


    “Back then, you were a useless failure who couldn’t even hold up a wall. It was my family’s money that


    helped you start your business and achieve the sess you enjoy today.”


    Mrs. Mayhew seethed with anger. She kicked her husband right in the face, and the live stream chat


    erupted with approval. “Now that you’ve soared to the top, you dare to y around with women for a


    handful of dirty money. You’re as lowly as dirt beneath our feet.”


    “With a few coins in your pocket, you start looking for mistresses, ying around with women, and


    trying to put a cuckold’s hat on me?! Without me, you’re nothing more than a piece of excrement under


    a bridge!”


    “I’m trash. I’m trash…” Zaiden repeatedly berated himself, his once-authoritative demeanor now


    completely vanished. Shelby knelt before Mrs. Mayhew, her face covered in tears. She had no idea


    how their affair had been exposed. They had been secretly involved for nearly two years without


    detection, so why were they suddenly caught today?! Next, Zaiden was subjected to a brutal beating by


    two burly bodyguards, while Mrs. Mayhew herself delivered a fierce beating to Shelby, knocking out


    one of her front teeth.


    The assistant, understanding the situation, promptly stopped the live broadcast.


    In the end, Zaiden was left battered and bruised, not even having time to put on his clothes before


    being escorted away by the bodyguards.


    Shelby cowered in a corner, her face scratched and bloodied, disheveled, and her mental state on the


    brink of copse.


    “Harlot, are you wondering how I found out about your affair with Zaiden?”


    Mrs. Mayhew looked down at her with disdain, saying, “Humph, you little brat, everything that’s


    happening to you today is of your own making. Think about what you’ve been up totely, who you’ve


    offended, and take a good moment to reflect!”


    Afterward, Mrs. Mayhew spat on her disdainfully and walked away with her head held high.


    The air fell into a deathly silence.


    Shelby shivered all over, trying to recall everything she had done recently and who she might have


    offended.


    Suddenly, a name shed through her mind like lightning.


    “Chloe… Is it you… Chloe?!”


    Just then, her phone vibrated twice on the bedside table and then stopped.


    Trembling and unsteady, Shelby got up, grabbed her phone, and opened the email that had been sent.


    It contained an audio clip.


    She hesitated for a moment, then pressed y.


    From beginning to end, it was Justin pouring his heart out, confessing how she had enticed and


    manipted him into stealing the KS Hotel project ns. He detailed everything.


    ng!


    The phone fell to the ground.


    Shelby’s legs gave way, and she copsed, feeling like her world had fallen apart.

    In the middle of the night, Skyler was taking a bubble bath, sitting in front of her vanity and meticulously


    doing her skincare routine.


    Ever since the day when Vincent had given her an ultimatum regarding Annie, she had felt like a heavy


    stone, sinking deeper into her chest, making it impossible to sleep soundly.


    What was so great about that fool? Why was Chloe interfering, and now Vincent was trying to support


    her?


    “That flirt who pretends to be a fool!”


    Skyler picked up her lipstick and inscribed “Annie” in bold letters on her mirror, adding arge X, her


    face contorted in anger. “I don’t have time to deal with you now.”


    “You wait, once I be the general manager of Sawle Group Hotel…”


    Just then, her phone rang.


    Seeing that it was a call from Zoey, Skyler frowned, put on a fake smile, and answered, “Zoey, why are


    you calling sote? What’s the matter?”


    “Something big happened!”


    Zoey’s tone was very serious, and he lowered his voice. “I just got news that Chloe has uncovered the


    mole hidden within the nning team. The police have already arrested the person!”


    “What?! How could this happen?”


    “And what about Shelby?” Skyler eximed, sitting uneasily.


    “Don’t you know about the affair exposed tonight? Shelby and her boss were caught in the act by the


    original spouse, and she even livestreamed the whole thing. They didn’t even have time to put their


    clothes on, it’s all over the world now!”


    Skyler’s head was spinning.


    In the time it took to take a bubble bath, the whole world had changed.


    “You need to delete all chat records and anything rted to Shelby immediately. The police might trace


    back to you.” Zoey warned, his tone dark.


    “Understood!”


    Just then, another call came in on Skyler’s phone, from her secretary.


    “Zoey, wait for a moment. I need to take this call!”


    She switched over and picked up the call from her secretary. “What’s the situation with Shelby?”


    “Miss Sawle! It’s bad!”


    “Shelby was in a serious car ident near Cloudview Road tonight. She’s in critical condition, still in a


    deepa, and her


    life is in danger…”


    “Wow! This is great!” Skyler couldn’t contain her excitement.


    “Good?” The secretary was baffled.


    “Chloe has already caught the mole, and she’s likely to trace it back to Shelby. Shelby’s ident is a


    godsend for me. This is heaven helping me get rid of a big problem!”


    Skyler’s eyes shed with ruthless determination. “That woman helped us ruin the cooperation


    between Chloe and Ada Wang, and now that she’s served her purpose, let her stay in the hospital


    quietly. She shouldn’te out and cause more trouble for me!”


    Shelby’s ident was naturally known to the young mistress.


    At this moment, Chloe was in the underground wine cer Oscar had prepared for her, selecting wine.


    She intended to enjoy a good drink before going to sleep.


    “I heard that Shelby had an ident because she was distracted while crossing the street and didn’t


    look both ways. It’s probably because of the mental stress from the livestreamed affair.” Jordan, holding


    thedder, helped her carefully to avoid a fall.


    “It’s a self-inflicted disaster. She’s quite a pretty girl; why did she rush to steal someone else’s man?”


    Chloe’s face remained cold and indifferent.


    “Then Mrs. Mayhew was ruthless when she made her move.” Jordan clicked his tongue.


    “This is to set an example for all the home-wreckers in the world. Interfering in other people’s families


    will bring divine


    retribution.”


    Chloe had also been a victim of a broken marriage due to Grace’s interference, she had been a


    mistress herself.


    Despite being married for three years, Joseph felt no affection for her. However, that didn’t give Grace


    the right to trample on her dignity, using it as an excuse to meddle in their marriage.


    “Miss, we’ve dealt with the cicada, and the praying mantis too. Should we move on to the yellow


    sparrow next?” Jordan raised his fresh, clean face, gazing deeply at her.


    “Well, no rush. Shelby’s incident must have brought some relief to Skyler. Let her enjoy her moment for


    a couple of days.” Chloe responded.


    Assisted by Jordan, Chloe had just jumped down from adder when her phone rang.


    She checked it, her brows furrowing in annoyance.


    It was a call from “Strategist with a Dog’s Head.”
