Story: His Ex Was the Wife
All these years, I had suspected they might have maintained a connection, but I always told myself that unless I saw it with my own eyes, it was just my imagination.
I never imagined that he would have another child with his ex-wife while I was pregnant.
It’s no surprise he was so anxious to find Gianna, who was also pregnant, after abandoning me on the highway.
I’d never understood why he was so concerned about her pregnancy when the child belonged to someone else.
Now I knew—because that child was his!
I was so angry that my teeth chattered and I trembled with rage.
Cole quickly drew me into his arms, comforting me.
“Helen, do not cry. You still have me and your parents. We all love you very much. We will undoubtedly assist you in exacting your revenge.
It took me a long time to pull away from his embrace.
Noticing that my tears had soaked his shirt, I laughed and punched him playfully, “Your shoulder is very comfortable to lean on. If only you liked women, I might have ended up with you if you pursued me, and I wouldn’t have been hurt this way.”
After joking around, I relaxed.
Cole’s phone suddenly rang; it was Nick calling.
After responding, Nick spoke politely, “Mr. Harrington, I heard you’ve obtained development rights for another parcel of land. I’m wondering if we’ll still collaborate on this project.”
Cole looked at me, and I quickly mouthed the word “agree.”
Despite his apparent confusion, he did as I asked.
“Yes, we can.” “Please come to my company’s project department tomorrow to discuss the details.”
After we hung up, he said, “If we give this project to them, they’ll reach a new level, and going public will become easier.”
I snorted coldly, “That’s exactly why we want to speed up his progress. Give him as many projects as possible without causing you to lose money. I also have information on other clients who work with his company. See if you can let them know.”
“Why would you want to do this?”
“Heh, because the higher they climb, the harder they fall.”
“He no longer deserves one last chance from me.”
In the days that followed, Nick and Gianna’s reality show filming went smoothly, and the public’s interest grew, propelling Gianna into the spotlight.
Much of this was my fault; I spent a lot of money on trending topics for her and had the media hype them up because I wanted to see what would happen if they both collapsed.
Two months later, Nick’s company was just one step away from going public, so he bought various trending topics to build excitement.
Gianna’s reality show was about to air, and a trailer had already been released.
That day, I booked a private room at a high-end restaurant, and Cole accompanied my parents.
My father enquired suspiciously, “What are you two up to, being so mysterious?””
I smiled cheerfully, “Mom, Dad, we want you to enjoy lobster while watching a good show.”
I switched on the TV in the room and cast from my phone.
Then I selected the top trending topic.

I personally edited the content, which included certificates for all five divorces and remarriages between Nick and me, as well as every divorce agreement we had signed.
