“Lydia?” Kalus calmed down.

“Kalus! Come help me!”

Lydia cried for help. “I’m in your office lobby, surrounded by reporters! I’m so scared!”

“I’ll pick you up now!”

Without hesitation, Kalus grabbed his suit jacket and walked out the door.

“Mr. Mike! You can’t go!”

Ian hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. “Just send your bodyguards to pick up Ms. Osita. If you go in person, the reporters will bombard you!”

Kalus’s face was gloomy as he rushed out without any hesitation.

“Ms. Osita! When is the wedding date with Mr. Mike?”

“You and Mr. Mike are said to be childhood sweethearts. How many years have you known each other?”

“What do you think of Mr. Mike’s ex-wife? The article wrote that his ex-wife got between you and Mr. Mike. Is this true?”

The reporters’ cameras and microphones almost hit Lydia’s face. Although the bodyguards acted as human shields, the scene was still very chaotic.

Lydia pretended to be meek, but in fact, she was overjoyed.

She was the one who announced their marital news to the media. She also revealed that Amara was a third party in her relationship with Kalus.

She thought, ‘That bitch dared to take the bracelet that belonged to me and even humiliate me. So I’ll make her a homewrecker that everyone hates!’

“Thank you for your concern. Mr. Mike and I will inform you of the good news as soon as possible.”

Lydia flashed a demure smile that she thought was particularly pretty in front of the camera. “As for Mr. Mike’s ex-wife, Ms. Kol, I know very little about her. Please stop attacking her. After all, they are divorced now, so please let her live in peace.”

Once she spoke, all the reporters became even more excited. The scene also became more chaotic.

Just when Lydia retreated like a frightened bird, a solid chest shielded her. Kalus put his arm around her shoulders and walked quickly toward the door.

“Kalus, you’re finally here!” Lydia’s eyes were teary, looking as if she were about to cry.

Kalus clenched his chiseled jaw and remained silent.

Suddenly, he stopped and could not help but turn to look around.

He had a feeling that Amara was nearby, watching everything that was happening.

But how was that possible?

The surveillance camera at the entrance to Mike Corporation moved slightly.

I sat in my office and saw everything that had happened outside Mike Corporation’s lobby door clearly.

I watched helplessly as Kalus shielded Lydia in his arms.

It was a lie to say that I was not upset by this.

“Kalus, you’re so protective of her, but have you ever protected me once?” My eyes turned red.

I thought, ‘Two years ago, on that stormy night, when I was almost dying from pain, I called you in hopes that you would show up. Even though I knew it was a slim chance, I still tried to call you. But you rejected my call. After devoting myself wholeheartedly to you for three years, I was just a tool for you to please Grandpa and delay time. You’re not worth it, Kalus. You’re the biggest mistake of my life.’

At this time, I received a message from the Denz Family Secret Bureau.

[Frank: Dera, the director of Savrow Daily, who exposed the marital news, has been replaced. Your ex-husband ordered this. It seems like his girlfriend released this news, and it has nothing to do with him.]

My long eyelashes trembled as I replied.

[Dera: It’s all the same whether it’s his girlfriend or him.]

[Dean: Yeah! They’re the same kind of people!]

[Dean: Dera, I just found some important information. I’ll tell you in private.]

[Drew: Just say it here.]

[Dean: No! I found this out, so don’t you all dare to take credit from me! Find out for yourself!]

After speaking, Dean sent me a voice message.

“Dera, I found some interesting things about Lydia.”

On the surface, Dean was a public prosecutor, but only the Denz siblings knew that he was also a hacker. Although Dean was not as good as my fourth brother, Declan, he was still useful. No criminal would escape punishment.

It was the same in the case of Lydia.

He sent over a few photos.

One of them was a photo of Lydia dressed scantily and making out with another man.

“Not bad, Ax! You know your stuff!”

I whistled and flipped through the photos happily. “Where did you get these?”

“Lydia Osita has hundreds of followers on I*******m. I spent the last few days checking them one by one. Then I found out that this man looked suspicious, so I hacked into his account and his phone’s photo library to find these treasures. This man is a fitness instructor and has a lot of fans.”

“Thanks for your hard work, Ax. I’ll treat you to a big dinner tonight!”

“What about drinks too?”

“Okay, we’ll go for drinks too!”

“Don’t get too excited now. I have something even more jaw-dropping. Even I was shaken.”

As he spoke, Dean sent over a medical report, followed by several pictures of a woman’s abdomen.

“This is…” I was startled.

“Can you believe it? Lydia gave birth to a child in Meridan. These photos are her stretch marks after giving birth.”

My shoulders shook. I enlarged the photo and looked at it carefully.

“That woman wasn’t sick at all. She just made excuses to go to the hospital frequently. In fact, she went to the plastic surgery department to remove the stretch marks on her belly. Hah! I guess advanced technology just makes things easier for these people with ulterior motives. I have been handling cases for so many years. I’ve heard of secretly swapping paternity tests, but I’ve never heard of removing stretch marks! I guess this just means that Lydia and Kalus have yet to sleep with each other. Otherwise, she would’ve been exposed long ago.”

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, with mixed feelings, “That’s good.”

“How is that good?! Does it matter? He cheated on you anyway. Dera, you have to change your way of thinking. Why would you comfort yourself with this?” Dean was afraid that his sister would be soft-hearted and forgive Kalus. He just wished that he could run over and shake some sense into her.

I laughed. “Ax, you misunderstood me. I don’t love Kalus anymore. I just feel less disgusted that he hadn’t touched Lydia while we were still married.”

“Haha! I guess it’s karma that Kalus’s sweetheart cheated on him!”

Dean continued his rant. “That motherfucker deserves it! He doesn’t want the gorgeous daughter of the richest man in Hatchbay and instead insists on marrying a tramp like Lydia!”

“Well, that’s how Kalus is. Money can’t buy his love.” I sneered, feeling bitter in my heart.

After all, I had been in love with Kalus for 13 years, so I would need time to get over him.

But no matter what, I promised that I would never fall in love with Kalus again.

“That tramp is attacking you now, so let’s dish this out and teach her a lesson!” Dean was eager to take down Lydia.

“I’ve had a habit since I was young to always save the best-tasting food for last.”

I squinted my charming eyes and smiled dangerously. “This trump card should only be used at a critical moment so that it’ll give her a lethal blow.”
