Chapter 0288 

Is she my husband’s new mistress?” 

+25 BONUS 

Alexis had been unusually quiet lately, which was odd for her. She was known to be a force to be reckoned with, both in the business world and in her personal life. Audrey was the one exception–Alexis hadn’t done anything to her yet, mostly because the girl’s well–connected family could take drastic measures if anything were to happen 

to her. 

“Do you have the reports on my husband’s recent activities?” Alexis asked, fixing her assistant with a piercing 

stare. 

“Yes, ma’am. In fact, yesterday I happened to see him with his daughter and another woman,” the assistant replied cautiously, fully aware of Alexis’s explosive reactions whenever she learned of her husband’s infidelities. 

“What the hell are you talking about?” Alexis snapped, her eyes blazing with fury, her expression enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine. 

“I’ll send the information to your email,” the assistant said, glancing at the photos taken the day before. 

Alexis opened the attached files immediately, and what she saw left her stunned. Sure enough, Maximus and Laura had spent the entire day with a beautiful young woman. She was tall, almost as tall as Maximus, and Alexis instantly concluded she must be his mistress. The girl even shared a few features with Mary. 

Over the years of Maximus’s infidelities, Alexis had noticed one consistent pattern: all the women he got involved with bore some resemblance to Mary Preston. This maddening detail drove Alexis crazy. She had her own affairs whenever she wanted, with whomever she chose, but Maximus? It was as if he was always searching for a piece of that woman in every fling 

“I want you to find out who she is! I want to know everything–by tomorrow morning in my inbox. Understood?” Alexis barked. 

“Yes, ma’am. You have nothing to worry about. By tomorrow, you’ll have all the details about that woman.” 

After exchanging a few more words, Alexis hung up and threw her phone against the wall. She stormed off to take a bath. It was nearly time for breakfast, and she hoped to find her beloved husband and daughter at home. For now, she wouldn’t say anything. But once she had the report and confirmed the wornan’s identity, Maximus wouldn’t know what hit him. As for her daughter, Alexis planned to send her to a strict boarding school, with no permission to leave even on weekends. The idea that Laura might already know about her father’s affairs–and worse, be covering for him–infuriated her.” 

What Alexis didn’t yet know was that Maximus was already drafting their divorce agreement. Nor was she aware that Lucius was now staying in the house. He hadn’t yet decided whose side to take–or if he’d take anyone’s side at all. 

Alexis got dressed, preparing to head to the club for coffee with her friends. But as she stepped out of her room, she was surprised to find Lucius and Laura walking toward her. They were headed to the kitchen and planning to have breakfast in the garden. Maximus had left early for an appointment. 

“Good morning, Mother,” Lucius said, greeting her with Indifference. 

“Lucius, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at university?” Alexis asked sharply. 

“Perhaps, but you left me feellag uneasy. I’ve met that Batik guy, and he doesn’t sit well with me. So, I’ve decided to stay here for a few months to observe him. If I don’t notice anything suspicious, Laura and I will return to London, where she’ll enroll at my university,” Lucius replied, speaking as though he didn’t need anyone’s
