All of a sudden, he felt like he was drowning in sorrow. His once imperfect family had vanished like soap bubbles.

He was now experiencing something worse than poverty and imperfections-having nothing at all.

He truly did not have anything left, both material and spiritual.

He suddenly felt dizzy.

While waiting for the elevator, Marilyn caught up to Jay and held his hand shamelessly while begging him. "Please don't ignore me, darling. I really love you."

Jay sneered, "If you love me, why are you having an affair with another man then?"

Marilyn complained tearfully. "He forced me to do it. I didn't want to."

Jay's eyes were bloodshot. "Do you take me for a fool?"

At the sight of his fierce and ruthless expression, Marilyn was so terrified that she did not know what to do.

When the elevator door opened, Jay and Marilyn walked out one after another.

When they got home, Angeline paled with fright when

she noticed Jay's bulging veins. She rushed up to Jay anxiously and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Ben?"

Unless something major had happened, it would otherwise be rare to see an indifferent man like Jay look so infuriated. Jay gazed at Angeline and saw her beautiful glassy black pupils looking more lucid and gentler than a mountain spring. She was probably the only one in this world who would treat him well.

However, she too had another man in her heart.

He sighed in despair. "I'm fine. Send them all away. I'm exhausted. I need some rest."

Sensing his exhaustion, Angeline sighed while feeling uneasy. She then ordered the rest, "Let's go."

When everyone had left the rental house, Angeline could hear the sound of the door locking from the inside.

Her instincts told her that Jay and Marilyn were having a major conflict.

She was worried about Jay's health and could not bring herself to just stand by and watch without doing anything when it came to his affairs.

At this moment, however, Grayson received a call.

Although it was unsure what the person on the other end of the call was saying, Grayson's complexion turned ghastlier and ghastlier by the minute.

After hanging up the phone, Grayson said to Angelina, "The Ghost members have caught Ken."

Angelina was stunned. She swept her gaze across the tightly-shut security door, seemingly realizing the close connection between the two. She said, "Take me there right away." "Okay."

Inside the house, Jay stood in front of the French windows with his entire body engulfed in frost.

"I have zero tolerance for affairs outside of marriage." His frosty voice sounded ruthlessly and firmly, carrying the intimidation of an authority figure.

Marilyn slumped to the ground...

She found herself struggling to breathe...

If he found out about her and Ken's affair a few days ago, she would have accepted her fate.

Now, she refused to.

Ken told her just earlier that the man in front of her was the former young master of Imperial Capital and the former president of Grand Asia.

How could she possibly let someone with such noble status go?

Marilyn quickly searched her brain for a solution.

Ultimately, she came up with a desperate measure.

"I didn't have an affair."

Marilyn wept silently. "Meeting him is the worst thing that has happened to me in my life. His name is Ken and he's my ex-husband. I was only 19 years old when I married him because I believed in all the honeyed words he said to me.

"After we got married, he merely treated me well for a period of time before he started beating me up. I wanted a divorce, but the women in the fishing village would be spurned once they're divorced. My parents were strongly against the idea and so was Ken. Left with no other choice, I could only escape in secret."
