Chapter 410

"I'm so sorry, Evelyn. I was completely wrong. I never should have questioned you. Please, forgive me."

Lucas Bennett froze in his tracks, his breath catching as he witnessed the unexpected scene unfolding before him. The man and woman stood locked in an embrace, oblivious to the world around them.

His family's boutique occupied the third floor of this very mall. He had just finished his routine inspection upstairs when fate cruelly decided to reveal Evelyn Carter and Ethan Caldwell's secret rendezvous.

Instead of confronting them, Lucas silently raised his smartphone. The camera shutter clicked softly, capturing their intimate moment in high definition.

With trembling fingers, he attached the damning photo to a message for Alexander Whitmore:

[Alex, seems we're both victims of betrayal. Your wife is publicly embracing another man right now.]

Alexander was navigating through heavy traffic when the notification arrived. His phone remained untouched on the passenger seat.

Only when he parked his luxury sedan outside the shopping complex did he see Lucas's message. The moment his eyes landed on the photograph, the temperature in the car seemed to drop twenty degrees.

Alexander's knuckles turned white as they clenched around the steering wheel. His usually composed features twisted into something dark and dangerous.

The screen of his phone illuminated his stormy expression as he stared at the image that could shatter his world.
