Chapter 497 His Affair

Finished

Emery had no tricks up her sleeve, and even the private investigator she hired was completely useless.

He searched for a long time and still came up empty, getting shaken off by Raymond every single time.

“What a piece of trash. And that idiot still gets to sit comfortably as Mrs. Nygard? Just pure luck.”

Regina sneered coldly again.

To her, Emery wasn’t even a real opponent. There was no challenge at all.

She casually grabbed her phone and made a call, calmly giving orders.

“Leak something on purpose. Otherwise, that idiot won’t find anything at all.”

Sometimes, Regina truly admired how incompetent Emery was.

Emery couldn’t even investigate properly. No wonder she hadn’t noticed anything about Raymond’s affair over the years.

Raymond barely had to try to hide it, and nothing slipped out. What a complete fool.

For the first time, Regina felt someone’s stupidity push her to the edge.

A sarcastic smile curved her lips, her eyes full of contempt.

Several days later.

Emery, who had assumed she wouldn’t find any useful information, started to believe her husband wasn’t cheating.

She thought she had imagined everything and was finally ready to relax. Then a call came, saying they had uncovered real evidence.

Her heart tightened instantly.

To be honest, she would have preferred hearing nothing at all.

But now that proof existed, she couldn’t just ignore it. That made it even harder to accept.

Emery took a deep breath and tried to steady herself, though her voice shook as she asked where the information came from and what it was.

After the call ended, her hand stayed by her car for a long while.

Then, she personally opened the envelope they had sent.

The moment she saw the photos, her heart felt like it was being smashed by a raging storm, waves crashing endlessly.

The husband she had trusted completely-the man everyone praised as kind, decent, and famously devoted-had really cheated on her!

Chapter 497 His Affair

Worse still, he had been with that woman for years.

Back then, she had gotten a message from an unknown number and rushed to a villa in the suburbs. That was where Raymond had been hiding his mistress.

“I knew it… Those places are always where rich men stash their mistresses. How could it be for the kids?”

Emery muttered to herself as tears poured down her face.

The hot tears burned her cheeks.

The woman in the photos was clearly the same one from the gala that night.

She had done it on purpose, showing off right in front of Emery.

Given Emery’s status, there was no way that woman didn’t know she was Raymond’s legal wife.

That woman knew it well and still said those things on purpose, even bragging about how much her husband loved her.

Thinking back on it now, Emery felt furious, sickened, and more miserable than she had ever been.

Those two had been together for so many years. Didn’t that mean the mistress was basically a second wife? Like he had built another home?

“Ah-”

That thought shattered her. She screamed and swept everything off the table onto the floor.

Maybe she was too emotional or lost her balance. She collapsed to the floor again.

At that moment, she looked completely broken.

She was more wrecked than ever before.

She felt confused and totally lost.

She didn’t know if she should confront Raymond or force herself to swallow everything.

If she confronted him and divorced him, where would that leave her?

It wasn’t that she’d be homeless or broke.

But after growing up sheltered and pampered her entire life, Emery was used to comfort.

She simply couldn’t accept living alone.

Yet if she stayed silent and kept enduring Raymond’s affair, it would be even worse than death.

She’d be humiliated and unable to face anyone.

At dinners and social gatherings, she always bragged about how happy she was.

If people found out her husband had a mistress, Raymond might not care, but she would never be able to face anyone again.

“No… No one will know. If it stays hidden for so many years, it won’t be exposed that easily now.”
