Oops, I’ve Been Exposed

Without trust, no matter how many times Woody explained himself, it would be for naught. “Suit yourself then. I just hope you don’t regret it.” Woody had a dark expression on his face as he strode away.

Pamela was furious, and she lost her sense of reason as she shouted at him, ” The thing I regret the most is choosing you all those years ago!”

Kurt pretended to be a peacemaker as he said, “Pamela, calm down. It’s not worth getting angry over people like him. He probably felt indignant about the divorce, and when he saw you with someone as outstanding as me, he just felt jealous. It’s a normal reaction, so I can understand why he’s like that.”

Miriam took the opportunity to curry favor with him. “See that, Ms. York? This is how huge the difference in people can be. You wouldn’t know until you’ve seen enough of them!

“You’re just too kind and value relationships too much. You feared that it might affect him in jail, so you dragged the divorce out for four years. Now, reality has proven that you focused your efforts on the wrong person!

“Mr. Donnel is a hundred times better than Woody. You should have dissolved the marriage while Woody was still in jail and gotten together with Mr. Donnel. You two are a real match made in heaven.”

Meanwhile, a slick-haired youth in sunglasses walked toward Woody arrogantly. He had a toothpick in his mouth, and he strode haughtily. Four bodyguards were following him, and he looked as proud as a peacock.

“I didn’t expect this place to be so lively! The Cartwrights will be holding a funeral soon, but they’re still spending effort on these things. Do they think they could be spared from disaster if they do a good deed or two?”

He looked around him and smiled disdainfully. “In their dreams! People praised Helen for being smart and capable, but she’s not that amazing after all. She’s just a baby. As expected, the Cartwrights are regressing. Don’t they have anyone else in the family?

“They chose a woman to boss them around, so how can they possibly get better? They’re just digging their own graves! In a few days, Tiusto will belong to us, the Jett family.”

The man was Ryan Jett, the son of another important figure in Tiusto, Tanner Jett. Of the various forces in Tiusto, the Jett family was the only one on par with the Cartwright family.

When the Cartwrights started running legal businesses, their original territories and shady businesses were swallowed up by the Jetts, who had taken advantage of their absence.

Just because of that, the Jetts rose to prominence quickly. They were nobodies at first. But now, they were on par with the Cartwrights.

Ryan heard that Helen was holding a charity event here, so he decided to come over and join the party. He called it joining the party, but in reality, he was here to harass them.

If he did that, he could cause his opponents discomfort, and he could also show off his might. He would be killing two birds with one stone.

He wanted everyone to see that the Cartwrights were declining and that the Jetts would soon reign supreme in Tiusto!Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Ryan accidentally caught sight of Pamela, and he was instantly charmed. He started breathing heavily. He had come for Helen, but at that moment, he only had eyes for the beauty before him.

Lust burned within him, and he licked his lips, saying, “Hah, I’m glad I came! I’m quite lucky to have met such a woman as soon as I came in!”

Pamela seemed to have felt someone’s gaze on her. Frowning, she put on a disgusted look.

She had been in the business field for a while, so she was quite experienced in dealing with people like him. If she distanced herself, she would be able to avoid them. It was a fail-proof tactic!
