With a “beep,” the door unlocked.
Pink balloons floated out, lightly bumping the receptionist’s head.
“Wow, hahahaha!” the receptionist applauded, laughing, “Madam, your husband is so thoughtful, planning a surprise for you!”
Madam Daphne’s face darkened, and the bodyguards tactfully averted their eyes.
In the silence, a woman’s sobs emanated from within the room, mingled with heavy breathing and a low growl:
“You little tease, always flaunting in front of me…”

“How’s that, darling, aren’t I amazing? Say something, hmm?“…
The livestream viewership quickly surpassed 100,000, with viewers exclaiming how thrilling it was.
With Madam Daphne’s nod, the bodyguards kicked open the inner door and burst in.
A shrill scream followed, along with the sound of something heavy hitting the floor.
The subsequent scene was too explicit, risking legal issues, so I covered the camera and rushed in.
Gideon Bennett lay on the floor, clutching the table leg, struggling to stand on shaky legs.
Meanwhile, my dear sister had already hidden under the covers, wrapping herself tightly.
She was playing dead, like a sealed cocoon.
“Zhao Chengfeng, how could you… how could you do this!” Gideon Bennett shouted angrily, eyes bloodshot.
“Me, doing this?”
С
Madam Daphne sneered, glancing at a certain unspeakable substance on the table, “I should be the one asking you that.”
Gideon Bennett’s face changed, quickly covering himself, then pointing at us:
“We’re married, and you bring the child and strangers in? What’s the big deal, why the shock?”
Madam Daphne looked at him with disdain.
“I remember the first time I caught you cheating, I asked for a divorce. You knelt and cried, begged me not to leave, claiming you were misled and promised to change.
“When I married you against my family’s wishes, you promised my father you’d never let me down or make me sad.”
She stepped forward and pulled the covers off my sister, revealing just her face.
i released my grip, giving a close–up of the cheating pair.
“Ahhhhhhh!”
My sister screamed like a groundhog:
“Help! I’m innocent! I know nothing! Gideon, help me!”
“Enough! Zhao Chengfeng, believe me, I’ll divorce you when we get back!”
He thought she’d be too weak to leave him after all these years of compromise, believing she’d listen to him no matter what.
But Madam Daphne flung divorce papers in his face:
“I’m done living in fear of my husband not coming home.
“Get out, Gideon Bennett. This time, I’m done with you.”
Madam Daphne took my hand, and we walked away.
The bodyguards stayed behind while screams and cries echoed from the room.
That afternoon, major media outlets across the country pushed the two to the headlines.
Everyone was shocked to discover that the mistress trying to climb the social ladder was Lydia Bennett.
More importantly, evidence showed her breakout song was plagiarized from my ideas, not her own work.
“Playing us for fools? Damn, this woman dared to hurt her own sister!”
“Can such a scandalous artist make a comeback? Is corporate power that strong?”
“I’ll never believe anything Lydia Bennett says again. She should be kicked out of the country!”
“Not human at all, her sister is the real victim, stuck with such a sister.”
“Don’t just blame the mistress. This old man should be done for too, no shame at his age.”
Society’s tolerance for homewreckers is low these days. Realizing they were fooled, netizens doxxed her address.
Soon, her home was trashed, and she was dragged out by her hair and beaten, her face ruined.
Unable to accept reality, Lydia Bennett screamed about restarting, jumping to her death on the spot.
Gideon Bennett fared worse. Realizing he had nothing but astronomical debt, he abandoned Lydia Bennett.
He publicly blamed

of seeing him.
We were at home, enjoying steg lamb hotpot, watching his pitiful state through the floor–to–ceiling windows, feeling delighted.
“I’ve always loved lamb, but he was
allergic, so I haven’t had it in decades.”
Madam Daphne filled her chopsticks with lamb, dipped it in sauce, and ate it, mumbling:
“Looking back, I was foolish to revolve my life around one man.
“Thank goodness I met you, Nora. Your vibrant energy inspired me, showing me life has so much more to offer.”
I smiled and toasted with her.
Gideon Bennett shouted outside, hoping their marriage would soften Madam Daphne’s heart.
But he didn’t know he had made countless enemies in business, and hitmen were already on their way from abroad.
The next news of him was on TV, where a Media Mogul was kidnapped to Myanmar. When no ransom came, they killed him.
His body was fed to wild dogs.
