Let Chapter 265 Blackmailing +8 Pearls
Everyone was mesmerized by the romantic proposal Alessandro Valentino had planned for his wife. Adam had thought he might feel jealousy, but instead, he only felt happiness for Mia when he saw the pure love reflected in her eyes as she looked at her husband. He shook his head, smiling hopelessly and thinking that kind of love only happened in fairytales or movies. In real life, true love rarely found a heart that could cherish it.
But Alessandro and Aria were the exception. He glanced around the crowded hall, where everyone was capturing and recording the couple's heartfelt confession. He felt relieved that, for once, the media had finally left him alone. But then, he suddenly realized Claire was no longer by his side. Concerned, he looked around, searching for his wife-only to spot her walking off with her... boyfriend?!
Fuck! He cursed, scowling. What was she trying to do? Hadn't he told her to keep her relationship with Daniel under wraps until the contract period of their marriage was over and they were divorced? So why had she invited him here, risking his public image? With all the media and news channels present, if anyone had captured them together, it could easily turn into a major scandal.
The audacity of that woman! His breathing grew heavy as fury burned inside him, shattering his happy mood in an instant.
He quickly left the ceremony to follow his wife and her boyfriend, moving discreetly so as not to attract attention. But what he saw next only fueled his anger further.
Daniel and Claire entered a bathroom together and locked the door. Was that supposedly decent woman really this desperate? He couldn't believe what he was witnessing-his wife, alone in a confined space with another man. It wasn't hard to guess what might be happening behind that door.
He stormed toward the bathroom, prepared to break the door open, but suddenly an uneasiness stopped him in his tracks, leaving him stunned. The realization was unexpected-he never thought he'd feel this way. His heart pounded loudly, and now, anger mingled with something else, an unsettling nervousness. He was actually afraid of what he might find inside.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Fuck! Adam Whitmore wasn't ready to face the reality of seeing his wife with another man.
Claire was stunned to see Daniel at the wedding. He hadn't been invited-so what was he doing here? When he tried to approach her among the guests and media, she panicked, knowing it would be very risky and could reveal the true nature of her marriage to Adam. Leading him to a far corner, she noticed the bathroom area was empty, as everyone was focused on Alessandro and Aria's vow renewal. She slipped inside with him to talk.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she snapped the moment she locked the bathroom door. Her eyes were furious, filled with disgust as she looked at her boyfriend-correction, ex-boyfriend.
"Don't be upset, sweetheart," Daniel smirked, stepping closer and reaching to touch her face. Claire slapped his hand away, making him chuckle wickedly..
"I had to come find you since you weren't responding to my calls," he explained in a sly tone.
"What's left to discuss, Daniel?" Claire shot back. "After caught you fucking my cousin, everything ended that day." She glared, her chest heaving with anger boiling inside.

Chapter 265 Blackmailing
Once, when Daniel hadn't answered her calls all day, Claire had worried about him. Knowing his struggles with drup
addiction, she feared he might have hurt himself. She went to his apartment to check on him, only to find him in bed with her own cousin, Hannah. Heartbroken and crushed by the betrayal, she'd slapped him hard and left without a word.
After that, she cut him off completely, refusing to send him any more money. But now he was blackmailing her, threatening to go to the press and expose her contract marriage with Adam if she didn't keep paying him.
"Babe, I'm short on money since you haven't sent any this month," Daniel replied shamelessly.
"Then why don't you ask Hannah? I'm sure she'd be happy to provide for you," Claire mocked.
"Don't try to be clever," Daniel snapped, grabbing Claire's jaw tightly in anger as he threatened, "Give me the money, or I'll go outside and tell the media about your contract marriage with Adam Whitmore." "Are you trying to blackmail me?" Claire shot back, struggling to free her face from his grip. But before Daniel could do any more damage, the bathroom door slammed open, and Adam stormed in, looking very furious.
