Chapter 3

By the time Celine arrived at the hotel where it had happened, the police had already cleared the crowd.

Talia Quinn, the new colleague, spotted her and hurried over at once.

"Celine, you're finally here!"

"What exactly happened?"

Frowning, Celine looked around. Adrian was nowhere in sight. The only person she saw was an injured man sitting off to the side, cursing nonstop.

Talia quickly explained, "That business partner got handsy with your husband's assistant. He couldn't stand it, so that's how the fight started. You should've seen him. He went absolutely savage, like he didn't care what happened to him. I've never seen him hit someone that hard before."

"Where are they?" Celine cut in.

"His assistant got slightly hurt during the fight. Once the lawyers got there, he rushed her to the hospital in his arms…"

Talia's voice grew quieter and quieter until she trailed off, as if she had finally realized something was off.

Looking at Celine's silence, she spoke again, clearly flustered. "Celine, that's not what I meant. Don't read too much into it…"

"It's fine." Celine said it evenly, "We're getting divorced soon."

Talia's eyes widened in shock. "How is that possible? You two were so good together. How could you be getting divorced?"

That was true. In everyone's eyes, they had been the perfect couple.

Rain or shine, whenever Celine needed him, Adrian had always shown up without hesitation.

More than once, when Celine ran into danger on an assignment, Adrian had thrown money, influence, and every resource he had at the situation to get her out.

To support her career, he had even gotten a vasectomy so she could focus on her work without worry.

And yet even a man who seemed that devoted could whisper forever-promises to another woman behind her back, and trick her into signing divorce papers.

Celine said nothing more. She only let out a self-mocking laugh. "People change. Nothing is impossible."

After wrapping everything up, Celine took a cab to the hospital alone.

In the hallway outside the VIP hospital room, Adrian was standing there, his face dark as he gave orders to one of his men. "Blacklist that partner. No company connected to Lennox Group is to do business with him again. I want him wiped out of this circle completely."

The man bowed his head at once. "Yes, sir. I'll take care of it right away."

Standing at the corner, Celine watched his fury with numb eyes.

So he was capable of throwing everything aside for another woman too.

The next second, the door to the hospital room was pushed open. Lydia was leaning weakly against the headboard, her face drained of color, her eyes rimmed red.

Adrian immediately reined in his anger, walked over, and took her hand. "How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"

Lydia's eyes brimmed red as her voice caught. "It's all my fault. I ruined such an important deal. You should just stop worrying about me and let me deal with this on my own…"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Adrian scolded her in a low voice, but his tone was unbearably gentle. "Right now, you're what matters most to me."
