Chapter 9
The birthday banquet was brightly lit, and everyone attached great importance to Andy’s party, waiting to curry favor with his power.
Amidst the clinking of glasses and laughter of the guests, the host of the banquet appeared increasingly gloomy.
) After waiting for another ten minutes, Andy asked in a low voice.
“Did she arrive?”
“Mr. Loreine had not arrived yet, and Ms. Patter had still not come.”
The assistant answered respectfully on the side, feeling a little scared when he saw Andy’s expression, as it was a sign of extreme unhappiness for him.
“What is this woman up to? I clearly told her not to be late under any circumstances.”
Andy furrowed his brow, looked around, and saw that almost all the guests had arrived, except for Maddie, who was late for such an important event.
“Oh Andy, don’t wait for her. She just likes to play these little games. She might not show up at the last minute.”
Crystal’s slender fingers clung to his shoulders, her red lips curling into a mocking smile.
“Mr. Loreine, why did you make us all wait so long for a canary?”

“Yes, Mr. Loreine, that woman is so irresponsible. She dared to be late for your birthday banquet. Why should we wait for her? Let’s just
start!”
The guests around them heard Crystal’s words and immediately chimed in. Everyone had been waiting impatiently, but they didn’t dare to speak up in front of Andy.
Upon hearing this, Andy pressed his temple.
Maddie has always been well–behaved; how could she possibly not show up for no reason.
He suppressed his anger and prepared to call Maddie to give her an ultimatum.
The moment I didn’t want to open my phone, the top message appeared in front of my eyes.
Mr. Loreine, I was planning to cheat on you. Goodbye.
“Bang!”
The moment Andy saw the text message, his five fingers clutching the wine glass tightened instantly, and the glass shattered in the air the next second, making a loud noise.
The scene suddenly quieted the entire crowd.
“Andy! Your hand!”
Crystal grabbed his wrist in panic, but he slapped her hand away.
Andy furrowed his brow, blood slowly dripping from his fingertips.
How dare Maddie!

How dare she not attend her own birthday party; how dare she cheat!
He stared at the word “cheating” on the text message, his face filled
with disbelief.
Clearly, she loved him like a little puppy, following him around every day. Clearly, she had been eagerly preparing a gift for him months ago.
Even if all the women in the world betrayed him, how could Maddie
bear to cheat on him?!
Andy angrily dialed her number directly, but on the other end, there was only the cold, mechanical voice of a woman repeating.
“The phone you dialed is switched off…”
On the tenth try, he called ten times in a row, but Maddie seemed to be avoiding him on purpose, as she remained in a shut–down state.
Why was this Maddie always ruining her good things.
Crystal saw his anxious look and felt annoyed in her heart.
She walked up to him and took his arm, saying intimately.
“Andy, don’t worry about her. The guests are getting impatient. Let’s just have a good time. Someone like her only brings down your class when she’s around.”
“Shut up!”
His temples bulged with anger as he angrily interrupted Crystal, startling everyone present.
At that moment, Andy had already been overwhelmed by Maddie’s confession of infidelity, and he didn’t care about his birthday party

anymore. He turned around and walked out.
Crystal, in a panic, hurriedly chased after him in high heels, grabbing onto his arm and refusing to let go.
“Andy, where are you going now?! The banquet is about to start!”
“Get lost! he roared back, his eyes flashing with a deep crimson.”
“If you dare to stop me again,”
Terrified, he staggered back and watched as he slammed the door and left.
The sports car raced wildly in the night, while Andy repeatedly redialed that number, but it was always in a shutdown state.
For some reason, even though he knew that Crystal was the woman he loved the most, at this moment, all he could think about was Maddie’s
face.
The way she smiled at him, the way she trembled in his arms with her waist pinched, the way she hugged him and said she liked him the most on his birthday last year.
At that moment, Andy suddenly remembered Crystal and Maddie’s unusual behavior that morning.
When he passed by, he clearly heard Maddie say, “I won’t show up again.”
Could it be that she had already decided to leave him long ago?
“Damn it!”
A sense of impending doom suddenly arose, Andy slammed his fist on
