Kevin stared at his future brother-in-law and remarked, “No wonder we get along so well. We’re the same kind of people—shameless and unapologetically so.”Hugh remained silent as Kevin walked away.The future of Queen Enterprise and who would manage it were matters for the Queen family. Even if he became their son-in-law, he would neither interfere nor voice his opinion.This was mainly to avoid others thinking that he was after the Queen family’s money.To be honest, he did not really care about the Queens’ wealth. Although they were one of the elite families in Jensburg, they were not as financially powerful as his own family.As soon as Hayden stopped working, Kevin pushed the door open and entered.“Hay, are you done? Let’s go eat.”Kevin walked over with large strides, smiling at her while asking.Hayden nodded, neatly stacked the processed documents, and pressed the intercom. She informed her secretary to come in and collect them. She then got up and walked around her desk
Belinda did not immediately explode. She inquired, “May I ask if Hunter Clark is here?”“Who? Who’s looking for me?”Hunter happened to come out of the bathroom, having just finished showering.Holding a dry towel to wipe his hair, he asked upon hearing the question.When he saw his wife standing at the door, Hunter was dumbfounded.He thought he was seeing things and quickly rubbed his eyes. Looking again, he still saw his wife’s face, well-maintained but marked by the traces of age.“Darling, she’s looking for you.”The woman stepped aside and addressed Hunter.In her heart, she guessed that Hunter’s wife had come looking for him.She honestly could not care less. She lost count of the number of these men’s wives who came knocking on her door. As long as she did not get involved with men from high society, her true financial backers would not find out.After all, her main sponsor rarely came to see her. He had many women around him, and he might have forgotten about her. F
Belinda slapped Hunter ten times, leaving his face bruised and swollen with blood trickling from his nose and the corners of his mouth.He did not dare fight back.He endured the wrath of his wife.Hunter waited until Belinda stopped, then grabbed her hand and asked with a heartbroken expression, “Honey, did you hurt your hand? Are you tired? I’ll help you blow on it.”Belinda kicked him in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.“Take both of them away.”Belinda coldly ordered the two bodyguards to take them home for further punishment.She would not let anyone who betrayed her off lightly.The two bodyguards immediately entered the room and dragged the woman out, following Belinda.Hunter did not need the bodyguards to help him up. He got up from the ground and obediently followed behind Belinda, begging for mercy as he walked, saying that he had been tricked by the woman. He absolutely denied he had been attracted to the woman and that he had come to the hotel with her cou
After the bodyguards restrained the woman, Belinda beat her up until her face was utterly bruised, so much so she was almost unrecognizable. “Belinda.”Hunter was worried that she would beat the woman to death. He also felt sorry for the woman he had been intimate with for some time and went to pull Belinda’s hand away. By doing so, he had redirected Belinda’s wrath onto himself. She turned and slapped him across the face. Belinda started hitting her husband without caring that they were in public. At that moment, Kevin, who had been watching the commotion unfold, stepped forward. “Madam Fisher,” said Kevin. Only then did Belinda stop hitting Hunter. She looked toward the person who called her and realized it was Kevin. She seemed to have snapped back to her senses and adjusted her clothes, which were messy from hitting her husband and the woman. She said, “Mr. Kevin.”“I just returned and had no idea what happened here, but this is my hotel. You should have some merc
After Hunter was taken away, the woman was left to suffer from the spectators’ criticisms. Knowing she was a homewrecker, no one sympathized with her despite her wounded state. She dragged herself up and left. She had no idea that Hunter was Belinda Fisher’s husband. If she had known, she would not have fooled around with him. The woman also did not expect that mentioning her other lover’s name did not help her at all and made her suffer a beating. It used to work every time. Kevin brought Hayden into a private room in the hotel. While waiting for the food to be served, Kevin asked, “Was the show interesting?”They had only arrived at the hotel minutes after Belinda did. Of course, Kevin did not let Hayden watch Belinda catch her husband cheating in front of the hotel room. Instead, they lounged in the hotel lobby for a while. If it were not for the woman attempting to escape, they would not have had the chance to witness the entertaining part. “It was exciting,” re
That would be an issue. On the other hand, Caroline was on her way home. She had received news from Darren that her mother had returned to Jensburg. She also knew her mom had gone to Fortress Hotel right after touching down to catch Hunter in the act. Caroline had pretended to know nothing about her father’s affair. However, as Kevin had mentioned, she was the mastermind. Kevin was simply giving her a helping hand. Belinda had informed everyone to gather at home. Caroline guessed that Belinda’s anger had reached its limit. She silently wished Hunter the best of luck. Caroline’s brothers were nervous as they had no clue why Belinda suddenly summoned them back to the house. Not only that, they were puzzled by her early return. Did she not say she would only return a few days later?When Caroline arrived, Celine and her three sisters-in-law were already there. Her brothers arrived shortly after. When their gazes met, Adrian scolded Caroline, “Were you aware that Mom w
Everyone held their breath upon seeing Hunter’s state. Belinda sat on the sofa with a cigarette in hand. She did not even spare Hunter a glance despite his sobs. The room stood in silence. Even Celine, who was Belinda’s favorite, did not say a word. Adrian crept to his wife’s side and asked softly, “What happened to Dad? Who beat him up?”Emma replied, “Mom did.”After a pause, she turned to look at Adrian. There was a hint of glee in her whisper. “Dad cheated on Mom and got caught red-handed. The woman was beaten up too.”Adrian’s expression changed upon hearing those words. He was reminded of his own affair. Although his parents had known about it and chose to turn a blind eye, Hunter’s affair was a grave issue. It would affect him and his brothers, who had committed the same mistake. Adrian kept quiet as he stood beside Emma. “Mom.”Caroline broke the silence. She glanced at Hunter whose handsome face was unrecognizable before setting her eyes on the frowning Belin
Caroline looked toward Hunter in disbelief. Hunter felt ashamed. Most parents would conceal their mistakes and keep their children in the dark. They did not want their children’s impression of them to be ruined. However, Belinda had made his children and daughters-in-law witness his shame. His wrongdoings were exposed, and he could never raise his head proudly around them again. Luckily, his grandchildren were not around. Otherwise, he could never face them too. “Mom.”Caroline quickly sat beside Belinda and consoled her. “Mom, Dad may not have been thinking clearly at that time. He loves you so much. He might’ve fallen into a trap or was set up by that woman.”Hunter went along with Caroline’s assumption and pushed all the blame to that woman. Belinda was about to light up another cigarette but was stopped by Caroline. “Smoking isn’t good for your health, Mom.“I know you’re angry and sad, but you can’t punish your own body over Dad’s betrayal. You should stop smoki
