Matthew’s vision went black. He collapsed to the ground.
He was unconscious for three whole days.
When he woke up, Tiffany rushed to his bedside, panicked. “There’s no sign of Shannon or Laura on the casualty list… The sprinkler system was shut off on purpose. She did it to get away from you!”
She handed him a phone, pulling up Jordan Quinn’s social media.
For the past ten years, every time Hartoff Group went up against Jordan, they lost badly.
Matthew never knew why.
Until now. After every win, Jordan had publicly confessed to me.
The latest post? A diamond ring the size of a pebble. And there were only three days left in the divorce cooling–off period.
“Victory #999. Finally, I’ve waited long enough.”
Tiffany kept fueling the fire. “She’s been cheating on you for a while. That’s how rich marriages are, right? Everyone does their own thing. You built a hundred–story tower and hired 30 bodyguards, and it still wasn’t enough. She’d risk her own daughter’s life just to leave you!”
Matthew felt like he was falling into a bottomless pit.
He grabbed the phone and started calling Quinn Group’s business line
over and over.

The only answer was “Mr. Quinn isn’t at the office. He’s busy preparing for the wedding.”
Tiffany didn’t notice Matthew shaking. She smiled smugly and said,
“Matt, we have to do something. The wedding’s on the same day as ours. I want the whole world to know–she’s just your secondhand trash! Let her regret it!”
But Matthew wasn’t listening. He kept whispering to himself, “This isn’t real… She’s just trying to push me into reconciling…”
Thoughts started to flood his mind. “The fire department didn’t find her or Laura. That means they got out. They’re safe.
“But why hasn’t she called?
“Why let me worry like this?
“She must be angry.
“She’s angry that I let Tiffany step into her territory.
Sabit of He
“She’s angry that I let another woman carry my child and trample her pride.
“That’s why she faked ‘losing Laura‘ to punish me.
“To make me feel what it was like–having my heart ripped out.”
He didn’t agree with my methods. But he had to admit–he never wanted to go through this kind of pain again.
Then came the assumption, sharp and sudden.
“If Tiffany is like the others–a fling, nothing more–then Sharon and Laura, who love me so much, will come back to me, just like before.”

Chapter 7
Matthew suddenly got up, tearing out the IV in his hand. He grabbed Tiffany and took off running.
She shrieked, “Matt, I’m pregnant. Slow down…”
But when she finally stopped, she realized he’d dragged her straight into an abortion clinic.
Matthew stared at her coldly. Word by word, he said, “Shannon’s mad because of your child. You insisted on moving into Central Park Tower- now deal with it.“/
Just a moment ago, Tiffany had been secretly gloating. Now she was frozen, stunned.
She shook her head in disbelief, struggling against him.
But no matter how hard she fought, she couldn’t break free.
As the anesthesia hit her veins, tears streamed down her face. She was full of unwillingness.
She thought she’d follow in her mother’s footsteps, step over the wife, and take her place.
S
Steal my man, snatch up the Hartoff family’s fortune–should’ve been easy.
But in a flash, everything was gone.
Matthew didn’t flinch. He added coldly, “You can have those three villas in Silverwood Estates. After this, don’t ever contact me again.”
