Chapter 218
The next evening, in a luxurious hotel suite.
A steamy affair was unfolding, filled with moans and heavy breathing.
“Brother… you’re amazing… How can you be so amazing?”
“Baby… I love it when you call me that, call me ‘Brother… say it a couple more times…”
Mr. Mayhew was uttering obscenities, but deep down, Shelby was hoping he would finish soon.
To climb to the position of the Director of the News Department, she had to sacrifice her body time and time again.
As they were getting passionate, the room’s door suddenly burst open with a loud crash!
“Ahh!”
Shelby let out a piercing scream and hurriedly rolled off the old man, diving under the covers.
Mr. Mayhew, stark naked, hastily got out of bed, picked up his underwear, and, upon looking up, was shocked!
“D…Darling?!”
“Zaiden, is this your little slut you keep outside?”
Mrs. Mayhew looked down on Shelby with contempt. Standing at 1.75 meters tall, she appeared-exceptionally sturdy compared to an average woman.
She removed her coat, revealing a pair of muscular arms that made Shelby shiver all over. “Hmph, I thought she’d be something extraordinary, but she’s just a wilted cabbage.”
“She’s not even worthy of being called a seductive vixen, she’s only fit to be a chamber pot!”/
Before the words even finished, Mrs. Mayhew went straight to Shelby, seized her by the hair, and yanked her out of the duvet. She raised her arm and smacked Shelby three times, drawing blood from her lips.
The wind roared, providing such a satisfying relief!
“Ahh! Mr. Mayhew Save me… Save me!” Shelby cried in pain, her head throbbing, tears flowing.
But Mr. Mayhew didn’t dare to intervene, he was as meek as a quail, trembling in fear!
At this moment, Mrs. Mayhew’s assistant, accompanied by two large and burly bodyguards, walked into the room.
“Come on, come on! Everyone, come and witness this! A fresh ‘little third party’ hot off the press! A disgusting
home-wrecker who seduced our big sister’s husband! A pair of cheating lovers caught in the act by our big sister! Don’t miss out as you pass by!”
The assistant held up her phone, recording and livestreaming the entire scene.
Mr. Mayhew and Shelby were both dumbfounded!
“Zaiden, kneel before me!”
Mrs. Mayhew roared, Zaiden immediately complied.
“Back then, you were a useless failure who couldn’t even hold up a wall. It was my family’s money that helped you start your business and achieve the success you enjoy today.”
Mrs. Mayhew seethed with anger. She kicked her husband right in the face, and the live stream chat erupted with approval. “Now that you’ve soared to the top, you dare to play around with women for a handful of dirty money. You’re as lowly as dirt beneath our feet.”
“With a few coins in your pocket, you start looking for mistresses, playing around with women, and trying to put a cuckold’s hat on me?! Without me, you’re nothing more than a piece of excrement under a bridge!”
“I’m trash. I’m trash…” Zaiden repeatedly berated himself, his once-authoritative demeanor now completely vanished. Shelby knelt before Mrs. Mayhew, her face covered in tears. She had no idea how their affair had been exposed. They had been secretly involved for nearly two years without detection, so why were they suddenly caught today?! Next, Zaiden was subjected to a brutal beating by two burly bodyguards, while Mrs. Mayhew herself delivered a fierce beating to Shelby, knocking out one of her front teeth.
The assistant, understanding the situation, promptly stopped the live broadcast.
In the end, Zaiden was left battered and bruised, not even having time to put on his clothes before being escorted away by the bodyguards.
Shelby cowered in a corner, her face scratched and bloodied, disheveled, and her mental state on the brink of collapse.
“Harlot, are you wondering how I found out about your affair with Zaiden?”
Mrs. Mayhew looked down at her with disdain, saying, “Humph, you little brat, everything that’s happening to you today is of your own making. Think about what you’ve been up to lately, who you’ve offended, and take a good moment to reflect!”
Afterward, Mrs. Mayhew spat on her disdainfully and walked away with her head held high.
The air fell into a deathly silence.
Shelby shivered all over, trying to recall everything she had done recently and who she might have offended.
Suddenly, a name flashed through her mind like lightning.
“Chloe… Is it you… Chloe?!”
Just then, her phone vibrated twice on the bedside table and then stopped.
Trembling and unsteady, Shelby got up, grabbed her phone, and opened the email that had been sent. It contained an audio clip.
She hesitated for a moment, then pressed play.
From beginning to end, it was Justin pouring his heart out, confessing how she had enticed and manipulated him into stealing the KS Hotel project plans. He detailed everything.
Clang!
The phone fell to the ground.
Shelby’s legs gave way, and she collapsed, feeling like her world had fallen apart.

In the middle of the night, Skyler was taking a bubble bath, sitting in front of her vanity and meticulously doing her skincare routine.
Ever since the day when Vincent had given her an ultimatum regarding Annie, she had felt like a heavy stone, sinking deeper into her chest, making it impossible to sleep soundly.
What was so great about that fool? Why was Chloe interfering, and now Vincent was trying to support her?
“That flirt who pretends to be a fool!”
Skyler picked up her lipstick and inscribed “Annie” in bold letters on her mirror, adding a large X, her face contorted in anger. “I don’t have time to deal with you now.”
“You wait, once I become the general manager of Sawle Group Hotel…”
Just then, her phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Zoey, Skyler frowned, put on a fake smile, and answered, “Zoey, why are you calling so late? What’s the matter?”
“Something big happened!”
Zoey’s tone was very serious, and he lowered his voice. “I just got news that Chloe has uncovered the mole hidden within the planning team. The police have already arrested the person!”
“What?! How could this happen?”
“And what about Shelby?” Skyler exclaimed, sitting uneasily.
“Don’t you know about the affair exposed tonight? Shelby and her boss were caught in the act by the original spouse, and she even livestreamed the whole thing. They didn’t even have time to put their clothes on, it’s all over the world now!”
Skyler’s head was spinning.
In the time it took to take a bubble bath, the whole world had changed.
“You need to delete all chat records and anything related to Shelby immediately. The police might trace back to you.” Zoey warned, his tone dark.
“Understood!”
Just then, another call came in on Skyler’s phone, from her secretary.
“Zoey, wait for a moment. I need to take this call!”
She switched over and picked up the call from her secretary. “What’s the situation with Shelby?”
