Chapter 5
I smiled and hugged Jerry, feeling a sense of calm wash over me, a deep sense of reassurance filling my heart.
“Actually, the person I liked from the start was you.
In college, but you were so cold, everyone said you liked men, so I‘
Jerry smiled regretfully. “It’s all my fault.”
“Isla, it’s my fault for not being brave enough. I missed out on you for so many years”.
He gently held me is his sumos.

Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Jerry It really is your
Charlie, humiliated and furious, stormed in eyes bloodshot.
We had booked a room at a seaside guesthouse, just as Charlie was stepping out into the corridor, he vaguely heard my voice and thought it was his imagination
But the more he listened, the more certain he became.
Until he kicked the door open and saw us hugging, his face turned green.
da, how could you do this to me?”
His eyes were filled with ham.
But I coldly glanced at Ava behind him and laughed lightly.
“Charlie, maybe you should take care of yourself first. Your buttons aren’t e
even fastened properly. What right do you have to tell me what to do?”
Charlie’s face immediately changed, and he hurriedly pushed Ava out of the room.
da, don’t misunderstand
“That woman just now, I have nothing to do with her.”
“But you two, why are you together?
Charlie swung his fist, about to strike Jerry-
“You bastard! 1 treated you as a good brother for so many years, and this is how you repay me
“Taking advantage of my absence to bully my wife!”
“You know Isla is my life
Jerry, who was more skilled at boxing, numbly dodged the punch, and the next second, he landed a heavy blow to Charlie’s face.
How dare you say that?”
“Charlie, you’ve been messing around with other women outside. Do you think the truth won’t come to light?”
“You were the one who wronged lite fart. Since you dont love her anymore, stop hurting her. There are others who want to protect her
Charlie stared at him in disticlel. “What What did you say?
“What nonsense are you spreading about me in front of lala?“
His face turned pale, veins popping out on his forehead.

But there was also a layer of cold sweat on his brow
Isla, don’t believe Jerry. He’s just trying to take advantage of this to steal me from you. He has ulterior motives!
I chuckled and held Jerry’s hand, speaking softly as Charlie’s face grew darker and darker.
“If I choose to be stolen, that’s between him and me. It has nothing to do with you.”
Charlie was completely enraged.
“sa, don’t you have any shame 7
“You’re my wife
1 looked at him undifferently. Maybe realizing his words were too harsh, he softened his tone and tried to plead with me.
Ida I don’t blame you it must have been Jerry who seduced you!”
pretend you two were drunk last night and nothing happened. Let’s go home, come on, let’s go home..”
I laughed coldly and shook off his hand.
“Charbe, we don’t have a home anymore.”
You can take your little mistress home. Do whatever you want, I don’t care.
used to be your wife, but not anymore-
“We’ve already divorced.”
Charlie’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He had been beaten black and blue by Jerry, looking somewhat comical.
But he didn’t care at
He still stared at me. “Are you kidding, Isla? I was only gone for three days, when did we divorce?”
Since he didn’t believe me, I showed him the divorce agreement.
“Three days ago, you already signed the divorce papers. It’s already in effect.
Charlie suddenly sneered, “Tila, stop messing around.”
“I know you’ve been influenced by Jerry. You’re using some fake divorce papers to fool me. It’s like a child

The smile on Charlie’s fare froze
He suddenly remembered something and grabbed the electronic divorce agreement from my phone, carefully reading it before be fully believed it
“No, this can’t be truef
Charlie collapsed onto the floor. “Ida, I’ve been sincere with you, why did you go to such lengths to decrive me?”
His eyes turned red.
Chapter S
Sincere with me?
I laughed out loud. “Is that what you call sincerity? Reporting to me every day but hiding another woman in your bed?”
“Or pretending to be on a business trip while bringing your mistress here to try new things at a seaside guesthouse?”
“Or how about on our wedding anniversary, you sneaked into the bathroom to have sex with your mistress?”
With every word, Charlie’s face became paler.
Chapter 6
By the end, his lips were trembling.
sla… how do you know…”
Tve kept these things hidden so well how could you possibly know?”
I raised my gaze coldly, eyes falling on Ava behind him.
Charlie immediately realized something, glaring fiercely at Ava.
“Is it you?”
“I warned you, our business couldn’t be brought in front of Isla, how did she find out everything?
“I said, if you can’t keep your mouth shut, you’ll pay the price!”
Ava’s face turned pale with fear. “It wasn’t me!”
She frantically pointed at me. “It must be this slut! She made up all this nonsense just to steal you from me!
“Or maybe it’s all Jerry’s doing. Don’t you remember, when we were being intimate, he was also there?”
Charlie shot a cold glance at Jerry.
“I’ve been blind all these years, treating you like a good brother, handing over clients to you, and this is how you repay me?”
Jerry sneered. “Charlie, how can you say such things?”
“Ask yourself, who helped whom all these years?”
only reason I got close to you was to make sure Isla could live a good life with you, not suffer. That’s why I gave those clients to you.”
“Your company faced crisis after crisis. Which time wasn’t I the one who helped you solve it?”
“Otherwise, would you have treated me like a good brother, huh? Charlie, stop lying so much. If you say it too many times, you’ll end up believing your own lies
Charlie suddenly realized that Jerry was actually the biggest client of his company.
This incident was likely to ruin his upcoming investments.
“Why did it turn out like this?”
Charlie was ind
in despair. “Why is it that both of you, why do you both have to betray me?”
Ava clung to him pitifully. “Charlie, I’ve told you, everyone else says they’re the bad guys, but I’m the one who truly loves you…”
“Stop pretending, Ava.”
I took out a pregnancy test report from my phone and placed it in front of Charlie
This is what Ava sent me
She said that many times, you two didn’t use protection. This is the proof that she’s pregnant.”
“Charlie, we didn’t betray you. It’s your own karma. You caused all of this, so you’d better clean up the mess yourself.
Jerry and I left the seaside guesthouse, but we didn’t go back to Manchester.
Instead, we spent a long time at nearby scenic spots, as if we had returned to our college days.
Back in college, Jerry had always quietly stayed by my
