“Niecing?!”
My uncle’s voice struck like a thunderclap, suddenly echoing through the room. []
Everyone in the venue immediately turned their eyes toward my uncle. []
In their gazes, there was nothing but shock and fear. []
Weston, even more terrified, felt his throat tighten, and his lips began to tremble.
“Sir… Chairman, are you… joking?” |
He bowed his head, lowering himself before my uncle with obvious fear written across his face.
But my uncle responded with a resounding slap across Weston’s face. []
The loud crack of the slap was deafening.
Weston was sent stumbling backward, almost falling to the ground.
“Who the hell are you?!”
“How dare you hit my husband?!” [
Cecilia, still confused, saw my uncle slap Weston and charged toward him angrily.
But then, another slap rang out.
This time, it was Weston, panic–stricken, who rushed forward and slapped Cecilia across the face.
“Unruly! How dare you speak to the Chairman like that!” []
“Apologize to the Chairman, now!” |
It was clear that Weston was completely rattled.
He knew very well the consequences of offending my uncle.
“The slap Cecilia just gave was for my sister. Your mother should recognize me,” my uncle’s face was as dark as a storm cloud.
The entire scene erupted into chaos.
“What? Everlee’s uncle is the major shareholder?”
Cecilia’s mother rushed forward to protect her daughter, her face full of concern. []
My father shamelessly stepped forward, trying to salvage the situation. []
“Ethan Wright, for the sake of your sister, don’t make a scene.” []

“Please, brother–in–law, I beg you.” |
My uncle stood beside me, his face cold as he stared at the man who had enabled his sister’s death through infidelity.
Old grudges and new ones collided–Weston’s company was finished. []
But things weren’t over yet. The rumors Weston spread about me were far from done.
Standing before the media, my uncle and I clarified the truth about the video.
“As you can see, the video Weston released earlier was completely fabricated. The man in the video is my uncle. I didn’t cheat before marriage. As for the person who did…” [],
Before I could finish, Weston tried to rush forward to stop me, but the bodyguards my uncle brought weren’t to be trifled
with.
I played the video of Weston and Cecilia together, along with his shameless remarks.

My uncle then announced that he would be withdrawing all his investments, stating that a man who cheated wasn’t worth trusting.
In an instant, Weston’s company and public image crumbled to the ground.
Some employees even rushed forward to beg for Weston’s forgiveness.
After all, if the company went bankrupt, their own futures were uncertain. []
They were facing unemployment.
The dream life they were so close to achieving had just evaporated. []
“Everlee, you’ve been with the company for so many years, you must have some attachment. Don’t let Mr. Martin’s personal issues affect the company.” |
“Yes, Everlee, why don’t you take over the company? We’ll support you.” []
They were all too scared to even breathe.
“Everlee, let your uncle decide about the company.” My uncle’s calm voice cut through the tension.
It was as though Weston saw a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly, right there in front of all the media, he knelt down before me.
“Wife…” [
-I didn’t expect him to call me that.
Once upon a time, I’d longed for him to wake up every morning and call me “wife” in my

How laughable!
“You have no right to call me that! It disgusts me!” []
“Your wife is her!” [
“I’ve already made way for you two!” []
Slap!
At my words, he slapped himself hard across the face.
“Everlee, I was wrong, I was really wrong.“]
“The person I’ve always loved is you.”
“Especially now, without you, I can’t go on!”
In that moment, he was as humble as a dog.
“Get up!”
But just then, Cecilia grabbed him angrily.
“Weston, get up! What about your dignity? Kneeling to this woman!” []
“The one you love is me!” []
“Even without the investments, the company will thrive!” [
But as soon as Cecilia finished shouting, Weston suddenly jumped to his feet, his eyes bloodshot, and grabbed her by the throat.
Instantly, Cecilia’s face turned red. []
Meanwhile, Weston’s face twisted with rage as he screamed at her, “This is all your fault!” []
“It’s because you seduced me! Your mother was a mistress, and so are you!” |
“What did you say? Say that again!”
Cecilia and Weston began fighting, and my father and Cecilia’s mother tried to intervene, but they too ended physical altercation.
Weston’s parents stood off to the side, crying and walling.
The media continued snapping photos, and the scene became even more chaotic.
“Uncle, let’s go.”
I didn’t want to watch this disgusting scene for another second.
I took my uncle’s arm and we left the venue.

“Please give me another chance!”
“I was wrong!”
Behind us, Weston’s voice echoed, still calling out to me.
