Chapter 5
Some of Mark’s assets were under my name, so I started quietly transferring the money and stocks that belonged to me.
Once I was nearly done, I went to see Flynn..
“Mark owns 40% of the Johnston Group’s shares, you have another 40%, and I still hold 5%. If we team up, we can outvote him.”
Flynn raised an eyebrow. “Planning to call a board meeting?”
I nodded. “Yes. I need your support to combine our shares.”
He seemed frustrated. “Wouldn’t it be easier to make him disappear? Why go through all this trouble?”
I reasoned with him. “Mark is still part of the Johnston family. If something shady happens, the others might step in. I have proof he cheated on me. I want half his wealth, and I want him kicked out the right way. Then the company will be yours.”
Flynn thought for a moment and agreed.
“Alright. I’ll ruin him. He’ll lose everything and come crawling back.”
I assumed that once Flynn returned, Mark and Sophie would behave.
But I still underestimated how shameless they could be.
That day, Flynn stepped out, and Mark rushed home from work.
As soon as he showed up at my door, I knew what he was after.

So, I said on purpose, “Oh, I didn’t know you left work early. I’ve got plans with some friends for tea, so I won’t be here.”
Mark pretended to smile and said, “No worries. Go hang out with your friends. I’m tired–I’ll take a quick nap.”
I drove around for a while and checked the camera. As I expected, the same disgusting scene played out, and it happened on my bed this time.
Without waiting, I headed straight home. I tiptoed upstairs and burst into the bedroom, faking a shocked scream. “Mark! What are you doing?”
The two of them panicked and scrambled to cover themselves with the blanket.
I grabbed my high heels and threw them hard at Mark, hitting his face and body.
“You jerk! How dare you bring a woman home and fool around!”
I had picked those heels on purpose, and I didn’t hold back. One of them left a gash on his forehead.
Then I turned to Sophie, who was still hiding under the blanket.
“You homewrecker! How dare you seduce my husband! I’ll rip your face off!”
Sophie clung to the blanket and wouldn’t show herself. Mark quickly threw on a shirt and rushed to stop me.
“Enough! Stop hitting her!”
I completely lost control and started yelling and hitting Mark in a rage.

“You beast! How could you defend her? Do you even have a conscience? I’m done! I want a divorce!”
Mark grabbed me tightly. “Honey, please calm down!”
Since I couldn’t use my hands, I kicked Sophie’s stomach.
She let out a cry.
I raised my voice on purpose. “Wait a minute, that voice… You’re Sophie!”
She didn’t bother pretending anymore. She threw off the blanket and sat up, not even trying to cover herself.
Mark quickly jumped in. “Listen, I can explain. Right after you left, Sophie had another episode. It was serious this time–I didn’t have a choice. If I didn’t help, she might’ve passed out in pain.”
I sneered. “She’d probably pass out from pleasure, not pain.”
Mark’s face turned grim. “Noelle, how can you be so heartless? Sophie is also part of my family. I couldn’t just leave her like that.”
I stared straight at him. “If she was truly that sick, why didn’t you call Flynn? Didn’t he come back already? If you care that much, go be a doctor. Don’t act like you’ve been wronged.”
Mark didn’t even seem to feel guilty.
“There wasn’t time to wait for Flynn. She was in serious pain, foaming at the mouth. It’d be too late if she waited for Flynn.”
I’d already prepared everything I needed and didn’t want to play their game anymore.

I pointed to the hidden camera behind some plants.
“Drop the act. I’ve got all the proof I need of what you two have been doing. Don’t talk to me about priorities or fake medical emergencies. Do you think I’m that clueless?”
Sophie panicked and didn’t even bother to cover herself as she ran over to the plants to take a look. When she spotted the tiny camera, her face went pale. She turned to Mark, her voice shaking. “T–there is a camera.”
Mark squatted down, ran his fingers through his hair, and let out a deep. frustrated sigh.
Sophie looked terrified. “You didn’t send the footage to Flynn, right? He doesn’t know. does he?”
Before I had the chance to answer, she continued, “He can’t know. If he did, he wouldn’t be acting so normal. Noelle, please don’t tell him.”
