Chapter 2

I tilted my head and looked at him.

My eyes landed on a faint lipstick mark below his collar.

It was our anniversary.That hadn't stopped him from sleeping with her.Or from asking why I was cold.

I glanced down at my wrist,which he still held.

I pulled it free.

"Afraid I'll make a scene?"

His expression froze.

He quickly changed his argument.

"I'm worried about your father's reputation!"

My father,Robert Sterling,built the Sterling Group from nothing,with courage and integrity.

Everyone who ever dealt with him admired his character.

He had passed away.

Now his son-in-law was openly sleeping with his daughter's assistant.

In the very empire my father built.

If word got out,the Sterling Group would become a joke.

Seeing me stay silent,Chloe thought Ethan had swayed me.She spoke up at once.

"Miss Sterling,you were born with everything.You could never understand someone like me,someone who has to rely on others to survive...I only wanted to help you."

She paused,then went on as if it were true.

"You're meant for more than this.You shouldn't waste your time on him."

So that was her excuse for sleeping with my husband？
