From Betrayal to Brilliance Her Rise to a New Life novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 Destroyed

Pandra was just about to call Albas to tell him what had happened when her phone suddenly buzzed with a flood of photo messages.

At first, she didn’t pay much attention–until she opened them. Her face instantly changed.

“Albas!” she screamed through gritted teeth.

The photos showed Albas with another woman and a child. They looked like a happy little family of three.

Pandra froze for a few seconds before the rage hit her like a wave. So this was his mistress.

Not only had Albas cheated on her, but he also had a kid with that woman.

She clenched her fists. There was no way she’d let him get away with this.

Meanwhile, Albas was still sitting in his office, waiting for Pandra to finish handling the situation with Athena.

Bang!

The office door burst open with a loud crash. He jumped, frowning when he saw Pandra standing there, her face twisted in fury. She looked like she was ready to tear him apart. “What the hell are you doing kicking my door open?” he snapped. “Did you take care of Athena’s problem yet?”

Pandra let out a cold laugh. “Forget Athena. Right now, we’re going to talk about you.”

Albas’s heart skipped a beat.

Did she find out?

His tone instantly softened. “Honey, did someone tell you something? Don’t believe them. Whoever said it just wants to drive a wedge between us–it’s not true!”

Inside, he was cursing furiously.

Did Athena leak the affair?

Even if she did–so what? He had Mrs. Storm backing him now. What did he have to be afraid

of?

Feeling bolder, he reached for Pandra’s hand, forcing a smile. “Come on, baby, don’t listen to

rumors.”

Pandra shoved her phone right in his face, showing him the photos. Her smile was cold as ice. “You call this a rumor? You’ve been keeping a mistress—and a kid–from me for years! How long were you planning to lie to me?”

Then she snapped. Her hand lashed out, hitting him over and over.

Albas stumbled back, trying to dodge her blows. “Wait, let me explain! It’s not what you think- stop hitting me!”

But Pandra wasn’t listening.

She’d seen the proof with her own eyes. After being married to him for so many years, she knew exactly what kind of man he was.

The two of them were now fighting right there in the office, yelling and shoving each other as shocked employees crowded the hallway to watch.

“You’re unbelievable!” Pandra shouted. “My family helped you build this company from the ground up, and this is how you repay me?

“I’m not letting you off easy today!”

Albas ducked and tried to calm her down. “I told you–it’s not true! You’re listening to lies!”

“Lies?” she scoffed. “I’ve got proof! If I find that woman and that kid, I swear they’ll regret ever crossing me!”

That made Albas panic. “Don’t you dare touch them!” he shouted.

The way he defended them only made Pandra even angrier.

He was protecting the homewrecker.

Around them, the employees were whispering to each other.

“I can’t believe Mr. Blaise actually has a secret kid. His wife’s family funded his entire company. And now he cheats? That’s cold.”

“Yeah, men like him never stay loyal.”

“Poor Mrs. Blaise.”

Someone suddenly gasped. “Wait… that secret kid isn’t Athena, is it?”

Before Albas could react to that, his phone rang. He snatched it up, still panting. “Hello?”

As he listened, his face drained of color.

“What did you say?” he whispered.

Pandra grabbed his arm, still fuming. But Albas hung up the call, shoved her away, and yelled, “Stop it! The company’s in trouble!”

She froze. “What kind of trouble?”

Albas’s voice trembled as he spoke. “All of our partner companies just pulled out. Every single one of them. The suppliers are refusing to deliver parts. I don’t even know how big the losses are yet, but… we might be going bankrupt.”

He slumped into his chair, his face as pale as paper.

Could this all be because of Athena?

Who the hell is behind her—who has the power to destroy me overnight? Could it be … the Storms?
