Chapter 94
The matter escalated rapidly online, causing the stock of the Edwards Group to drop.
Helen, who was at Edwards Villa, also saw the trending news. It was her âbest friend who first told her about it. The way this soâcalled best friend gleefully shared the news made Helen tremble with anger.
Helen brushed off her âbest friendâ and immediately went home Once she reached home, she turned on her computer and immediately began searching the internet for the trending news, As she continued to read the news, her face grew increasingly grim.
Meanwhile, Michael, who was in the gym downstairs, had no ideh what was happening and was still working out.
With a grim expression after reading the documents, Helen headed to the gym, found him, and raised her hand.
She slapped Michael hard, and the crisp sound of the slap echoed loudly.
He was stunned by the slap. As Michael came to his senses and saw Helen raising her hand again, be instinctively grabbed her hand and forcefully pushed her back.
Helen lost her balance from the push and fell backward, instinctively grabbing the treadmillâs handrail.
Michael then raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap.
Helenâs youthful, wellâkept face instantly displayed a vivid handprint after he slapped her.
When she felt the stinging pain on her cheek, her eyes immediately reddened with tears. Helen then looked up at Michael in disbelief.
âDid you just slap me, Michael?â Helen asked incredulously, her voice breaking with a sob.
Michael frowned and replied irritably, âYou were the one who went mad and slapped me first. I havenât even asked why youâre acting so insane!â
When Helen remembered why she had lashed out, her heart ached.
She asked, âMichael, weâve known each other since we were kids. We were childhood sweethearts. What did I do to deserve this? Why would you do this?â
As Helen spoke, she grew agitated again. She then charged at Michael, wanting to attack him again while shouting in despair, âMichael, tell me why! Why?!
He restrained Helen and frowned in annoyance, âWhat are you even talking about? Whatâs gotten into you today, Helen? Did something set you off? Why are you acting all crazy like this?â
She asked, âIâm acting crazy? Michael, you better tell me about the three mistresses and three illegitimateâchildren!
âMichael, youâre really something else!
âHow long have you been supporting those mistresses and illegitimate kids?
âHimâ

She chuckled bitterly. âWhen did I find out?â
âMichael, now itâs not just me who knows. Soon the whole counity, and eventually the whole world will know!â Helen shouted hysterically.
Michael then panicked as an uneasy feeling crept up on him. âWhat do you mean?â
Right then, his phone rang. Michael took out his phone and saw that his first mistress, Pamela, was calling.
Of course, she wasnât saved as Pamela in Michaelâs phone. Pamela was saved under the male name Peter so Michael wouldnât get caught by his wife.
Helen stared at the caller ID on the phone screen and felt confused when she saw the name Peter.
She had seen this name before but always thought it was one of her husbandâs male friends, so she never questioned it.
Yet now, with everything happening, this call triggered a whirlwind of thoughts in Helenâs mind.
She wondered, âWhat kind of relationship does Peter have with Michael? Why is he calling Michael now?â
As Helen thought about it, she reached out, wanting to answer the call for Michael.
She wanted to hear who was actually on the other end of the phone.
Helen was determined to find out who this Peter that Michael knew really was.
-When Michael saw that she was about to answer the call, he inexplicably panicked and quickly moved his hand that was
holding the phone away.
Helen had spent most of her life with him, and after seeing this, she instantly recognized that he was hiding something. She then knew right away that there was something off about Peter.
She lost it and immediately tried to snatch the phone from Michael.
However, he quickly calmed down. Michael grabbed Helen forcefully, pushed her away, and snapped, âHave you had enough, Helen?â With that, Michael turned to leave.
Helen erupted in a fury and lunged at him, frantically trying to take the phone from his hand. She was determined to answer Peterâs call and find out who he was.
When a woman was pushed to her limit, she could be incredibly strong. As a result, Michael couldnât keep hold of the phone, and Helen managed to snatch it away.
Michaelâs expression shifted drastically, and he immediately tried to get his phone back.
Helen took the phone and immediately ran off. However, as she ran and tried to answer, the call from Peter had already ended because it went unanswered for too long.
Shortly after, another call came in, and the caller ID showed it was Hector.
Just then, Michael rushed over, grabbed Helen, and snatched the phone back from her.
Being a man and having exercised for years, Michaelâs strength far exceeded Helenâs, so it was easy for him to take the phone back.

She then stood there in shock, as her mind kept replaying the rames she had just seen, which were Peter and Hector.
Peter and Hector. Heather and Pamela. Helen appeared to have gured it out. Her eyes widened, and she stared at Michael in disbelief.
She asked, âItâs them, isnât it?
Helen went mad and shouted, âMichael, itâs them, isnât it? Itâs Painela, and Heather. Michael, do you happened to have another lover named Laura?â
As she was causing a scene, the second call from Heather ended Soon after, a third call came in, showing the caller ID as Lawrence.
In just one day, three of Michaelâs lovers had frantically called him in a span of minutes. Coupled with Helenâs outburst, Michael instinctively felt that something was wrong.
He stopped dealing with Helen, took his phone, and left.
Once Michael was outside, he answered the call.
A few minutes later, his face darkened, and he hurried to the study. Michael quickly entered the study, sat at his desk, and anxiously checked the news online.
Just then, his phone rang again. Michael was frustrated, but when he saw the caller ID, he found that it was Theodore calling.
Michael then hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
Afterward, Theodoreâs cold voice came through the phone, questioning. âAre all those things online true?â
By this time, Michael had already seen the trending topics, and his expression was grim.
He showed no guilt at all. Instead, he started scolding, âDonât worry about whether itâs true or not. Just get it taken down, What on earth is the Edwards Groupâs PR department doing? How can such a big issue not be dealt with?â
