The matter escalated rapidly online, causing the stock of the Edwards Group to drop.
Helen, who was at Edwards Villa, also saw the trending news. It was her “best friend who first told her about it. The way this so–called best friend gleefully shared the news made Helen tremble with anger.
Helen brushed off her “best friend” and immediately went home Once she reached home, she turned on her computer and immediately began searching the internet for the trending news, As she continued to read the news, her face grew increasingly grim.
Meanwhile, Michael, who was in the gym downstairs, had no ideh what was happening and was still working out.
With a grim expression after reading the documents, Helen headed to the gym, found him, and raised her hand.
She slapped Michael hard, and the crisp sound of the slap echoed loudly.
He was stunned by the slap. As Michael came to his senses and saw Helen raising her hand again, be instinctively grabbed her hand and forcefully pushed her back.
Helen lost her balance from the push and fell backward, instinctively grabbing the treadmill’s handrail.
Michael then raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap.
Helen’s youthful, well–kept face instantly displayed a vivid handprint after he slapped her.
When she felt the stinging pain on her cheek, her eyes immediately reddened with tears. Helen then looked up at Michael in disbelief.
“Did you just slap me, Michael?” Helen asked incredulously, her voice breaking with a sob.
Michael frowned and replied irritably, “You were the one who went mad and slapped me first. I haven’t even asked why you’re acting so insane!”
When Helen remembered why she had lashed out, her heart ached.
She asked, “Michael, we’ve known each other since we were kids. We were childhood sweethearts. What did I do to deserve this? Why would you do this?”
As Helen spoke, she grew agitated again. She then charged at Michael, wanting to attack him again while shouting in despair, “Michael, tell me why! Why?!
He restrained Helen and frowned in annoyance, “What are you even talking about? What’s gotten into you today, Helen? Did something set you off? Why are you acting all crazy like this?”
She asked, “I’m acting crazy? Michael, you better tell me about the three mistresses and three illegitimate–children!
“Michael, you’re really something else!
“How long have you been supporting those mistresses and illegitimate kids?
“Him”
Michael’s expression shifted at Helen’s words and he looked at Helen in surprise. “When… When did you find out?”

She chuckled bitterly. “When did I find out?”
“Michael, now it’s not just me who knows. Soon the whole counity, and eventually the whole world will know!” Helen shouted hysterically.
Michael then panicked as an uneasy feeling crept up on him. “What do you mean?”
Right then, his phone rang. Michael took out his phone and saw that his first mistress, Pamela, was calling.
Of course, she wasn’t saved as Pamela in Michael’s phone. Pamela was saved under the male name Peter so Michael wouldn’t get caught by his wife.
Helen stared at the caller ID on the phone screen and felt confused when she saw the name Peter.
She had seen this name before but always thought it was one of her husband’s male friends, so she never questioned it.
Yet now, with everything happening, this call triggered a whirlwind of thoughts in Helen’s mind.
She wondered, “What kind of relationship does Peter have with Michael? Why is he calling Michael now?”
As Helen thought about it, she reached out, wanting to answer the call for Michael.
She wanted to hear who was actually on the other end of the phone.
Helen was determined to find out who this Peter that Michael knew really was.
-When Michael saw that she was about to answer the call, he inexplicably panicked and quickly moved his hand that was
holding the phone away.
Helen had spent most of her life with him, and after seeing this, she instantly recognized that he was hiding something. She then knew right away that there was something off about Peter.
She lost it and immediately tried to snatch the phone from Michael.
However, he quickly calmed down. Michael grabbed Helen forcefully, pushed her away, and snapped, “Have you had enough, Helen?” With that, Michael turned to leave.
Helen erupted in a fury and lunged at him, frantically trying to take the phone from his hand. She was determined to answer Peter’s call and find out who he was.
When a woman was pushed to her limit, she could be incredibly strong. As a result, Michael couldn’t keep hold of the phone, and Helen managed to snatch it away.
Michael’s expression shifted drastically, and he immediately tried to get his phone back.
Helen took the phone and immediately ran off. However, as she ran and tried to answer, the call from Peter had already ended because it went unanswered for too long.
Shortly after, another call came in, and the caller ID showed it was Hector.
Just then, Michael rushed over, grabbed Helen, and snatched the phone back from her.
Being a man and having exercised for years, Michael’s strength far exceeded Helen’s, so it was easy for him to take the phone back.

She then stood there in shock, as her mind kept replaying the rames she had just seen, which were Peter and Hector.
Peter and Hector. Heather and Pamela. Helen appeared to have gured it out. Her eyes widened, and she stared at Michael in disbelief.
She asked, “It’s them, isn’t it?
Helen went mad and shouted, “Michael, it’s them, isn’t it? It’s Painela, and Heather. Michael, do you happened to have another lover named Laura?”
As she was causing a scene, the second call from Heather ended Soon after, a third call came in, showing the caller ID as Lawrence.
In just one day, three of Michael’s lovers had frantically called him in a span of minutes. Coupled with Helen’s outburst, Michael instinctively felt that something was wrong.
He stopped dealing with Helen, took his phone, and left.
Once Michael was outside, he answered the call.
A few minutes later, his face darkened, and he hurried to the study. Michael quickly entered the study, sat at his desk, and anxiously checked the news online.
Just then, his phone rang again. Michael was frustrated, but when he saw the caller ID, he found that it was Theodore calling.
Michael then hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
Afterward, Theodore’s cold voice came through the phone, questioning. “Are all those things online true?”
By this time, Michael had already seen the trending topics, and his expression was grim.
He showed no guilt at all. Instead, he started scolding, “Don’t worry about whether it’s true or not. Just get it taken down, What on earth is the Edwards Group’s PR department doing? How can such a big issue not be dealt with?”
