As expected, Matthew didn't return that night. Meanwhile, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The following morning, Ivanna called with some news. She told me that Melanie had caught Matthew and Lauren in the act. I felt conflicted, unable to decide whether to feel delighted or sad. Despite my plans going smoothly, I couldn't find joy.

After washing up and getting dressed, I headed to the office. I only returned to my senses when I realized Matthew was not at the company building. Soon after, I realized a painful truth. Matthew had already slipped away, even if I hadn't set him up.

However, I reminded myself not to give up on my revenge. I instructed Johnson to call and inform Matthew to come to work, saying there was a rumor about ATL Empire only choosing two companies for the project.

I also wanted Matthew to think Tanum Corporation and another company were out of the picture. Since I knew Matthew's ambitions, I was confident he wanted to secure the collaboration with ATL Empire. Simultaneously, pictures started circulating on the internet. The headlines read, "CEO and An Unknown Woman Caught Spending the Night in a Hotel-Woman Hospitalized From Brawl." Although the pictures were slightly blurry, they showed an intimate scene and the following fight. From the pictures, I knew Melanie had played her role well and caused quite a scene. Meanwhile, reporters had already gathered at the Galar Tower lobby. Matthew appeared at the office an hour later, trying to slip in unnoticed. Then, I timed it perfectly and stormed into his office while clutching my phone.

When I entered, I saw Matthew dejectedly sitting on the couch with Johnson beside him. I guessed Jonson had already played his part in the act.

When Matthew saw me burst into his office, he stood up and stammered, "H-Honey, I..."

I only noticed a few bloody scratches on his face when I looked at him. I had never seen him so pathetic before

Matthew, do you have something to tell me?" I stared at him. Although I knew I was only acting. I could finally release my suppressed emotions.

Matthew signaled for Johnson to leave, and the latter wisely stepped out.

Matthew hugged me, saying, "Yes, I lied this time. I went out with Lauren last night, but she got me drunk and insisted on sending me to a hotel to rest. I didn't think we would...yeah. She's been interested in me for quite some time.

I've been avoiding her, but I had to meet her last night to secure a proper asset declaration from the bank!"

I stared at Matthew, and he continued, "I was determined to secure ATL Empire's project for our family. Then, I could fulfill my promise and provide a lavish life for you. Honey, you have to believe me. I did it all for our future, but I admit I made a mistake!"

I laughed at his words as tears rolled down my face. I wasn't sure if I was acting anymore at that point. I laughed because he still thought I was a fool to trust him. I wondered if he thought I was that naive. "Honey, I swear I won't let you down again. If it weren't for the alcohol last night, I-I wouldn't have betrayed you!"

He wove his lies, looking sincere. At that moment, I contemplated whether or not I should give this man another chance. Perhaps I would've believed his bullshit if I didn't know about everything he did. My suppressed anger raged as I approached him, saying, “Matthew, do you think I'm an idiot? Tell me, who was the one who caught you?"
