Chapter 68 Adding Fuel to the Fire
I realized my question was a mistake. However, Matthew’s lips twitched before he
regained his composure and said, “It was Lauren’s lover!”
His answer shocked me.
“Honey, please believe me and give me another chance. We must secure ATL Empire
instead of letting this small issue distract us. You founded Tanum Corporation, so I’m sure
you want to expand. I made a mistake, but you can’t give up on our goal because of it.”
After a pause, he held me tightly and said, “Chlo, I was wrong.”
I didn’t know how to respond since Matthew knew my weak spots. Soon after, I pushed

When I returned to my office, I revisited all the online trending topics and realized we had
missed something–the person who had caught Matthew and Lauren in the hotel.
I asked Ivanna to push for more information. Soon, a post asking about the identity of the
person who
caught them appeared.
This post created a stir and rapid increase in its popularity. Most were curious, especially
regarding a
cheating husband like Matthew.
When I left the office early, I realized everyone at work had become interested in
Matthew’s affair. I could sense their gazes on me the whole time. I learned that a man
caught cheating wouldn’t suffer as much
scrutiny as his wife.
When I reached home, I slumped onto the living room couch as sadness overwhelmed me.
I started to cry and felt how empty the house was, especially because Ava wasn’t home.
I knew it wouldn’t be long before I had to say goodbye to this tiny house that had
sheltered me for many years. I didn’t know my future or who would be beside me. I only
knew I had sealed my fate. Still, I was the one who pushed everything, causing this home
to crumble.

I looked at him and feigned resentment. “Do you think I feel okay when you cheated on
me?”
My words left him speechless, and his expression grim. Suddenly, he became agitated, “I
told you I was wrong! I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Please stop behaving like
this.”
I struggled out of his embrace and controlled my temper. Immediately after, I went to my
room, changed into comfortable clothes, and entered the kitchen.
He sat alone in the living room for a long time before finally coming to the kitchen door.
He looked at me and was hesitant to speak.
I didn’t ask him what he wanted, but ultimately, he sighed and said, “Chlo, I think…I need
your help.”
I stopped what I was doing and looked at him, asking coldly, “With what?”
He met my gaze, and I saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes. “I think…”
