Chapter 1435

[ 572 words ]

She would take her grandmother and leave Australis, leaving all this drama behind for good.

…

Meanwhile.

Lexi, clutching a designer handbag, was happily walking into a restaurant with her friend.

When she suddenly spotted the two people chatting intimately in the corner, her smile vanished instantly.

“Isn’t that Joel Garner, the lawyer who just got back from abroad?”

Her sharp-eyed friend instantly recognized the distinguished, strikingly handsome man. “And who’s the woman sitting across from him? She looks so familiar.”

“How could she not look familiar?” another girl chimed in loudly. “That’s Australis’s biggest celebrity right now—the infamous Mrs. Houston.”

“You’re right.”

The girl with curly hair agreed, shaking Lexi’s arm with a catty smirk. “Lexi, this sister of yours really is a piece of work.”

“Not only did she manage to climb into Harold’s bed, but she’s also got Lawyer Garner wrapped around her little finger.”

“What a homewrecker.”

Lexi glared at Lorelei, jealousy practically spilling from her eyes. “I need to make sure Harold sees exactly what she’s up to when he’s out of town.”

Without another word.

Lexi whipped out her phone, secretly snapped a photo of the two of them, and sent it straight to Harold.

The angle was perfect. In the picture, Lorelei was looking right at Joel, a glowing, brilliant smile on her face.

“Hmph.”

Once it said delivered, Lexi smirked in satisfaction. “Let’s go. Time to eat.”

Once Harold saw this photo, he was guaranteed to hit the roof.

In Eclara City.

Harold had just wrapped up his shift at the lab and turned on his phone when a text popped up.

Lexi-kins: [Image.jpg]

Lexi-kins?

Harold searched his memory but couldn’t place who this person was.

He opened the message.

The moment his eyes landed on the photo, his fingers twitched, and his gaze instantly darkened.

A long silence stretched out.

He used two fingers to zoom in on the picture, zeroing in on the subjects.

Lorelei.

Joel.

The two of them were sitting in a warmly lit cafe, chatting about God knows what, both of them beaming with sheer delight.

Smiling?

Harold stared at his wife’s face. He couldn’t even remember the last time he had seen her smile like that.

So this was why she was in such a desperate rush to divorce him. Her childhood sweetheart had returned.

Harold would never forget it.

The sheer look of absolute shock on her face when she woke up in his bed: “Why is

it you?”

Who else would it have been?

Oh, right.

Joel had supposedly been staying at the exact same hotel that night.

She probably thought the man she was sleeping with was Joel.

Lexi-kins: [Did you see the picture?]

Another text chimed in.

Harold stared at it for a few seconds before typing back: [I saw it. And your point is?]

Lexi-kins: [Aren’t you mad? She’s seeing another man behind your back!]

Harold: [She married me, she didn’t sell herself to me. Who she talks to in her free time is her own business.]

Lexi-kins: […]

Harold: [Besides, they’re just getting

coffee. It’s a completely normal

interaction. What exactly are

Joel Garner…

Seeing that name made Harold’s chest tighten uncomfortably.

Harold: [Thanks for the heads-up, but I trust my wife.]

Lexi-kins: [?]

Harold: [You’re her sister, yet you’re secretly throwing wild accusations at her. You’re

the one I need to keep an eye on.]

Lexi-kins: [Harold, wait…]

Harold: [Have some respect. Lorelei

After sending the final message.

Harold directly tossed Lexi into his block list.
