Dad looked visibly distressed. He seldom smoked, yet now he couldn’t seem to put his cigarette down. When I asked him what had happened, he glanced at Mom Mom wiped her team and and bittedly, “He’s been having an affair with that flirty secretary of his ”
Aflity portacy? t picked up a photo and examined it closely, I instantly recognized the woman-
I had seen herence before when thad gone to a cafe with Jean. We had unexpectedly bumped into Dad and his secretary,
Tuck then, I had wondered why he had a new secretary, especially since his previous one had been aman.
But I had trusted Dad and hadn’t thought that he was the type to tool amund. That was why I hadn’t mentioned it to Mom.
“Don’t be too part, Mam You know Dad’s character. In nearly 30 years, there have probably been countless attempts to tempt him with women, given in. This might just be a misunderstanding.” I sat beside Mom and gently patted her.
but he’s never
“I’ve been framed!” Dad finally blurted out. He was visibly agitated and added, “I was completely drunk. There’s no way anything happened between me and that womln.”
Throughout his career, he had been meticulous and apprehensive about maling mistakes. With his retirement approaching, he was determined not to risk everything he had worked so hard to achieve.
Mom nestled into my arms and cried.
My heart sank, and I frowned. “Dad, I need you to investigate this woman and find out who she is,” 1 urged him.
*I already did. I have her personnel the right here. Her name is Angie Earst, and she’s from Curtin City She’s married with one child, but the child doesn’t live with
He paused to take another drag from his cigarette. His appearance had suddenly aged, and he looked exhausted.
He continued, “However, there’s no usable information.”
Imemorized Angie’s name:
Despite Dad’s troubles, Angle hadn’t yet made their affair public, so he went to work. Eventually, it was just Mom and me at home.
[resolved to meet with Angle and ascertain her intentions. If she wanted money, I would propose a settlement to lemporarily alleviate the situation while strategized on how to address the matter.
Suddenly, memories from my previous life flooded my mind and anchored me in place.
During that time in my past life, I had been so consumed by the idea of winning over Rowan that had been oblivious to the fummoil brewing at my parents horse. I vaguely recalled how Mom and Dad had been in a Cold War phase.
Eventually, Rowan used damaging infomation abour Dad’s scandalous affair to bring down my family. The scandal had been publicized, with photos splashed across the media
Back then, my focus had solely bemon breaking up Rowan and Ashley, which had caused me to overlook the unfolding events.
But as I looked at these photos, they struck a chord of familiarity. It felt as though fate was rearranging the pieces once again So, I quickly gathered all the photos and hedly stuffed them into my bag.
I knew Angie also likely possessed the negatives that to collect all of them and put an end to this.
Otherwise, if someone else had such information in their hands, it would pose a

Whether it was Rowan or someone else, others would also seek to mlemine Dad.

threat to my family
“yes, I have it come with you!” Mom wiped her tears. Her face was filled with resentment.
“you should stay home and rest. I’ll go alone.” I didn’t want her to become more upset by confronting Angle.
But Memed oncoming along. It was about her years of marriage, and she wouldn’t be at ease until she confronted that bitch.
Perhaps I had inherited my stubbomness from her. I had also gone out of my way to find Ashley in my previous life, but Rowan had always outsmarted me.
Inodded. “Okay. We’ll go together”
Mom passed me the phone number. If Angle didn’t answer when Mom called, I would try calling using my phone.
After a few rings, Angle picked up. “Hallo. Who’s calling?”
“I’m Sampel Sandler’s daughter. We need to talk,” I said bluntly.
Angle hesitated before responding. “Okay”
I was surprised that she had agreed.
After arranging a meeting time and place, 1 hung up and told Mom,” get some rest. We’ll meet her tomorrow. She might be trying to extort money from Dad.”
Mom was worried, but she still nodded.
I spent the entire day at home with Mom and tried to cheer her up. Dad tumed home in the evening, and we had a quiet dinner together before heading to bed.
Mom chose not to share a bed with Dad, so she slept in my room. We stayed up talking late into the night. But I could tell she hadn’t slept from her repeated sighs as I drifted off
Chapter The Bitch is Pregnant
The following day, we met Angle at a café, as planned.
Angle looked surprisingly pretty and had a great figure. She even looked younger than Mom. Upon seeing us, she said nothing but smiled smugly.
“Let’s not beat around the bush. I sow those photos are take. What exactly do you want? I was repulsed by Angle and got straight to the point
“Ms. Sadler, if you think those photos are tale, you can have them checked to see if they’ve been edited,” Angie replied calmly.
Mom, who was typically composed and mindful of social etiquette, had been holding back her emotions.
But when she recalled that Dad, whom she had loved for jo years, had been involved with Angie, she couldn’t contain herself any longer.
Suddenly, she rose from her seat, reached across the narrow table, and slapped Angle.
Angie’s head jerked to the side from the force of the blow. She immediately covered her stinging cheek and glared venomously at Mom.
“What were you trying to accomplish by getting my husband drunk and taking those photos?” Mom pointed accusingly at Angle. Her resolve was unwavering
In her heart, she knew Dad wouldn’t do such a thing, Otherwise, she wouldn’t have accused Angle of scheming to intoxicate him and capture compromising photos.
Mom just couldn’t accept that a man she had trusted for 30 years would give another woman the chance to come between them.
Angle sported a red mark on her cheek, but her eyes shimmered with determination. She stood up suddenly, brushing off the swelling on her cheek, and appeared smugly satisfied.
“What do
o Iwant? I want you two to divorce. After all, I’m carrying your husband’s child.” With those words, she produced a medical report from her bag and tossed it onto the table. Then, she lett.
Mom stiffened upon hearing that and stared silently at the document.
