Chapter 30 Cheating
Charles nodded at Jason. “That’s right, I’ve already started a
partnership with Florence.”
Jason’s uncertainty deepened.
“Give me two days to think it over.” He finally said.
Even though it wasn’t a definite answer, Florence was already
thrilled.
“No problem.” She smiled.
By noon, Charles took Florence and Jason to the restaurant they
had reserved.
As soon as Florence stepped into the restaurant, her sharp eyes. caught sight of a couple at a nearby table. A cold smirk tugged at her lips.
Seeing Albert’s untouched plate and his work–stressed frown, Isabella tried to snap him out of it.
“Albert, stop worrying about work. Not eating properly is bad for your stomach.” She said softly, picking up a piece of shrimp and offering it to his mouth.
Albert, used to this routine, opened his mouth instinctively.
Just as he tasted the shrimp, he caught someone filming him

He turned his head with irritation, only to be surprised by what
he saw.
Isabella mirrored his expression of surprise.
Albert froze for a while, then he fully aware what was going on.
“Florence, what are you doing?” He glared angrily at Florence as she put her phone away.
“Of course, I’m here to catch you cheating.”
Florence looked at Albert with a mocking smile.
Isabella’s face changed a bit. “Florence, it’s not what it looks. like.”
Florence shot back coldly, “I can’t think of any woman other than a girlfriend who’d shamelessly feed a guy like that.”
Hearing this, Isabella’s face turned even paler. She bit her lip, her eyes welling up with tears as if she’d been deeply wronged.
She instinctively glanced at Albert, hoping he’d stand up for her.
But Albert’s eyes were fixed on Charles instead.
His expression grew darker, his temple throbbing with
anger.
He pointed a finger at Charles and glared at Florence, 2/5

Florence hadn’t even replied when Charles’s eyes flashed with a dangerous glint.
His voice was chilling, “Albert, if you keep running your mouth, I won’t hold back.”
“Charles, you’re the CEO of Apex Group and you’re hitting on my wife? Do you think I’m blind?”
Albert was boiling with rage. He jumped up from his chair, ready to throw down with Charles.
But as soon as he swung his fist, Charles caught it effortlessly.
Charles’s eyes turned sharp and fierce, like a beast unleashed from its cage, exuding a terrifying aura.
In a swift move, he twisted Albert’s arm down.
Florence heard a loud crack, followed by Albert’s scream of pain. It was clear his wrist was either dislocated or broken.
“Albert!”
Isabella rushed to Albert’s side, her face pale as she supported him. She didn’t dare meet Charles’s icy ga and instead glared at Florence, “Albert is your husband! How can you let another man hurt him?”
“You two look more like a couple. You better get Albert to the 3/5

Florence watched their closeness and felt like her past life was a
complete joke.
Even though Albert looked pretty bad, she couldn’t muster any sympathy for him.
“Albert, let’s head to the hospital.”
Seeing Albert about to pass out from the pain, Isabella knew they had to leave immediately. She shot Florence a fierce glare before helping Albert out.
“Mr. Foster, sorry for the trouble.”
Florence looked at Charles apologetically, feeling like she’d dragged his reputation down with her.
“Who said you were any trouble? Didn’t I just teach that jerk a lesson?”
Relieved that Charles wasn’t blaming her, Florence let out a sigh.
Jason suddenly spoke up, “I really believe you want to divorce Albert now.”
Florence raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t think your trust in me was that flimsy.”
Jason shrugged lightly, “Can’t help it, you have a history.”

But soon, Jason’s words brought a smile to Florence’s face.
“No need to give me two days. I’ve decided to return to Brooks Group. Just don’t let me down this time.”
Seeing Jason extend his hand, Florence’s eyes lit up with
excitement.
She shook Jason’s hand earnestly, “Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you this time.”
The three of them enjoyed a pleasant lunch, and Florence, feeling so happy, ended up drinking a bit too much.
In a daze, she was gently helped into Charles‘ car.
