Chapter 71 Dying in Glory Is Better Than Living in Dishonor

Ivanna looked at me sympathetically while I stared back. I was trying hard not to cry.

“Chlo, don’t be upset. We’re in this together now,” she said, trying to console me. My eyes

welled up with

tears, and I rushed into the bathroom.

I quickly texted Johnson, washed my face, and returned to the room.

“What should we do?” I asked, my voice trembling. “H–I’m ready to do whatever it takes. I

my pride anymore.”

Tears streamed down my face, and I felt utterly helpless.

Suddenly, Matthew’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen, then hurriedly answered.

Although I couldn’t hear what was said, I saw him turn pale. Then he said through

trembling lips, “I understand.”

After hanging up, Matthew’s head bowed in defeat. Ivanna shot me a glance, and I raised

an eyebrow at her.

He lifted his head and said, “I need to step out for a moment. I’ll be back soon. Ivanna,

please stay with Chlo. I have something to take care of.”

“Where are you going?” I asked with a hint of displeasure.

“Just a quick errand. I’ll be back in no time. Don’t worry, okay?” He then turned and left.

When I heard Matthew go down the stairs, I made a quick phone call, but the line was

busy.

Ivanna whispered to me, “What’s he going to do? He didn’t even finish explaining. Why did

he leave so suddenly?

“Don’t worry, I’ve lit a fire under him. He’s determined to make amends,” I said

confidently. I started to eat, but my bitterness showed.

Why don’t I just expose Melanie right now?” Ivanna suggested, watching me closely.

His voice sounded tired and lonely. My heart ached. What sort of future could there be with

him? After all, the real mistress was still around.

I finally realized why Matthew was so composed. Since the identity of the real

homewrecker was still unknown to the public, he could remain calm.

Did I have to share my bed with him in the future and serve him alongside his sister?

No, I would rather be broken than succumb to that fate. My daughter is better off without

a heartless father. It was unbearable to know Ava would understand this humiliation when

she got older.

Though I mentally prepared for this countless times, it was still hard to decide. Tears

dampened my pillow. I hoped that someday my daughter would understand the tough

choice I had to make.

The situation kept getting worse as more people looked into it. They searched for the

whistleblower and those who caught the adulterers that night.

Tanum Corporation was also implicated, and they investigated its history. As the true

founder of the company, I was also subjected to scrutiny.

While the public seemed to be on my side, some started delving into my assets. It was

disheartening. This situation finally caught Matthew’s attention, and he swiftly took action.

That afternoon, a notification flashed on my phone. The missing down payment for our

house had been returned.

However, before I could feel any relief, Melanie stormed into the room. Her face was

flushed with anger.
