The Masterpiece of Leaving:Prepared A Perfect Stand-In For Him novel Chapter 49

This news hit Cathy like a bolt of lightning!

She came running back for Aubrey, even after his recent cold attitude, she wasn't too desperate. But now, it's obvious that Aubrey is suggesting canceling the divorce with Navier?

Certainly, everything is part of Navier's trap!

She quietly curled her fingers, her palm pierced by her nails, blood trickling.

Cathy's bright face was now filled with intense hatred.

"I finally brought the child back. How could I leave Aubrey because of you?"

Her voice was extremely calm, as if she was talking about something unimportant, but her lips were cold and sent shivers down one's spine!

After a while, she arrived at her computer, opened a message that had been lying in her inbox for a few days, quickly skimmed through it, and clicked on one of the links...

Navier's perspective

Even though I had no plans to work in Starlight Media, as the owner, I decided to visit the company for a stroll.

Fredrica, dressed in a simple white shirt and trousers, saw me and waved enthusiastically, "An extreme hot trending, related to your ex-husband. Are you interested?"

“Not really,” I pretended to be disinterested, holding a report and looking down.

Fredrica sighed with boredom, followed suit, and sat down.

Completely forgetting my “lack of interest”, she started talking, “Last night, Cathy's computer was hacked, and a lot of things were leaked.”

“I heard it's related to some shady contracts. This has caused a lot of trouble. If it's true, Cathy's done for this time.”

The existence of those contracts was for tax evasion, and there are many big stars involved in tax evasion cases, and her fate won't be an exception. It's fantastic.

The news was indeed explosive.

I, not really caring, was also taken aback and forgot to read the report.

“Take your revenge,” Fredrica clenched his fist, feeling happy with the thought of retribution, “Reward the incompetent. If it weren't for you, she'd be finished.”

“Doesn't know how to repay kindness and returns to cause trouble. She must be punished!”

“Though justice might come late, it'll never be absent!”

Fredrica's rightful anger was only met with a feeble “Mmm” from me.

I'll get the divorce; the problem is not whether Cathy will return, but that Aubrey doesn't love me.

Cathy's return only hastens the death of our marriage.

“At first, the only person I wanted to save was Aubrey, and Cathy was not on the list of protection,” I said truthfully.

"Even so, if it weren't for you telling the reporters that they had broken up long ago and that you and Aubrey were planning to get married, how could she easily leave like this? Hasn't she been living well for the past years?"

Back then, I and Aubrey had an unexplainable one-night stand, and while we were dealing with the aftermath, the news leaked accidentally.

I was caught red-handed by the reporters, lying in bed with disheveled clothes, and a man under the covers, an extremely embarrassing scene.

“Back then, Cathy and Aubrey were publicly engaged, and the whole country knew! She's also a public figure in the entertainment industry. Have you seen any famous person deceive the public and still stand on the screen?”

“When I was treated coldly, mocked, and misunderstood by the Spencer family, I was still happy overseas, maintaining my reputation and responding to various events. Not only did I not say a word of gratitude, but I also played the victim in everything. Is anyone shameless like that?”

Knowing that Fredrica was arguing for me, I turned and hugged her, “Thank you, my good sister.”

"Thank you isn't enough; I want to celebrate with a pizza. Lots of cheese, please!" Fredrica took advantage of the strategy.

"Sure, let's have pizza, extra cheese." I immediately took out my mobile phone, opened a food app, and searched for nearby pizza restaurants.

Just then, the phone rang.

It was a call from Iris's kindergarten teacher.

I quickly answered, “Hello, is it because Iris is unwell that you called me at this time?”

“No.” On the other end, the teacher's voice was hesitant. “You see, the child's father is here and wants to take the child... Can you come here for a moment?”

Hearing that Aubrey would take Iris, I was quite surprised.

Shouldn't he be in a hurry to handle the leaked contracts with Cathy now?

What does he want when taking Iris away?
