Howard has no children, so I am his only heir.

The legacy he left behind abroad is enough to make me one of the richest people in the world.

I was so excited that I wanted to tell Victoria the good news right away.

At that time, I thought that as long as I took over Howard's inheritance, Victoria would be able to easily become a rich wife and no longer have to worry about the affairs of the Lancaster Group.

As a result, as soon as I called Victoria, before I even mentioned Howard's inheritance, Victoria impatiently yelled at me, blaming me for disturbing her rest.

At the same time, I heard Chase's smug laughter coming from the other end of the phone.

Then Victoria hung up the phone.

My joy and excitement completely vanished at that moment.

The relationship between Victoria and I completely collapsed at that time.

After Mr. Thornton learned about this, he asked someone to investigate Chase. He originally wanted to help me teach Chase a lesson.

As a result, it was discovered that Chase had a major problem.

If Victoria continues to be with Chase, she will be doomed.

But even if I reminded Victoria, it was useless.

Instead, she thought I was slandering Chase!

Forget it, good words cannot persuade a damned ghost, and great compassion cannot save others who have committed suicide.

Victoria and I have signed the divorce agreement, and from now on her affairs have nothing to do with me.

Just as I was reminiscing about the past, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was Mr. Thornton calling.

After the call was connected, Mr. Thornton said in a somewhat strange tone, "Young Master, the Lancaster Group has issued an announcement. The slander against you has become a hot topic. It seems that they want to completely destroy your reputation."

"Do you want me to take action to wipe out all the negative influences on the Internet?"

After hearing what Mr. Thornton said, I checked the online trending search list in confusion and found that the top three were posts that slandered me.

The content of the post was all slandering me for having a life of drinking and whoring outside, and for having contracted STDs, etc.

The announcement from Lancaster Group was also rather vague. While firing me, they also mentioned that Victoria and I had signed a divorce agreement.

As a result, many netizens started discussing it heatedly.

"I never realized that Alexander was such a scumbag!"

"I always thought he was a good man who doted on his wife, but I didn't expect it was all a facade."

"Lancaster Group has issued a notice, revoking Alexander's position as vice president. Victoria has also signed a divorce agreement with Alexander, and Alexander forfeited all marital assets. This proves that those posts are not slandering Alexander. Alexander not only had an affair but also contracted an STD. This is proven."

"Sisters, you must keep your eyes open and stay away from this kind of dog man!"

Public opinion on the Internet spreads very quickly, and there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames.

Just like Mr. Thornton said, Victoria is going to completely ruin my reputation!

I told Mr. Thornton, "Don't worry about what's happening online. Victoria and Chase want to destroy my reputation, so let them do it!"

"I'll settle this account with them in a month, after Victoria and I get our divorce certificate."

For the next period of time, I lived in the Sterling family's villa and ignored the disturbances in the outside world.

On the day that Victoria and I agreed to get the divorce certificate, I just arrived at City Hall and saw Victoria and Chase holding hands and snuggling together, talking and laughing.

It felt like they were a sweet couple who had just gotten their marriage certificate.

Seeing me coming, Victoria's smile disappeared. She looked at me with disdain and said in a cold voice, "Alexander, how have you been lately?"

"I told you, no one will want you after you leave me!"

"You think you are so capable, but in reality, it's just because we, the Lancaster family, are supporting you from behind. Without the Lancaster family, you are nothing!"

"Do you regret it now?"

"For my dad's sake, I'll give you another chance!"

"If you kneel down and apologize to me and Chase in public right now, I will consider not divorcing you."

Chase said to me sarcastically, "Alexander, Ms. Lancaster gave you a chance, you have to seize it!"

"The rumors about you are not good right now. If you and Ms. Lancaster really divorce, you will never be able to recover. No company will dare to hire someone with such a bad reputation like you..."

Before he finished speaking, I said to him calmly, "My divorce from Victoria is a good deal for you, isn't it?"

"You must be feeling very proud now!"

Without waiting for his response, I said to Victoria, "Don't waste time, go get the divorce certificate!"

Victoria got angry and yelled at me, "Alexander, what's with your attitude?"

"I'm giving you this last chance for my dad's sake. Since you don't cherish it, I'm too lazy to waste my words on you."

"Since you insist on getting a divorce, I will grant your wish!"

"But after we get divorced, I'll get a marriage certificate with Chase. By then, even if you regret it and beg me on your knees, it'll be useless..."

I interrupted her and said coldly, "Then I'd like to congratulate you in advance on finally getting married!"

"I have something else to do. I don't have time to waste here with you. Hurry up and get the divorce certificate!"

Victoria was almost mad.

She seemed to be angry with me. Right after getting her divorce certificate with me, she immediately got a marriage certificate with Chase, and she even looked at me provocatively on purpose.

Chase even took a photo of their marriage certificate to show off and posted it on WeChat Moments.

I ignored him and took a taxi to the airport, flying abroad to receive the inheritance left by Howard.

A few days later, Lancaster Group celebrated its 30th anniversary.

The celebration was held at a Grand Plaza Hotel, and all partners of the Lancaster Group, as well as relatives and friends of the Lancaster and Delaney families were invited. The scene was very lively.

Today, Victoria and Chase's faces were beaming with excitement.

Because, just a few days ago, Pantheon Capital suddenly contacted Lancaster Group, saying that it wanted to inject capital into Lancaster Group.

Pantheon Capital is one of the world's top financial giants. If Lancaster Group can get investment from Pantheon Capital, it will definitely soar in a short period of time.

Victoria and Chase were both very excited about this piece of pie that fell from the sky, and were ready to announce the good news publicly on the 30th anniversary of the Lancaster Group.

In this way, Lancaster Group's status in the business circle will definitely soar.

I walked into the hotel venue just as the anniversary celebration was about to begin.

The moment they saw me, Victoria and Chase's faces suddenly turned gloomy.

Many guests also looked at me with strange eyes and talked in low voices.

"Why is Alexander here?"

"Hasn't he divorced Victoria? He's been expelled from the Lancaster family. Coming here at this time, isn't he deliberately trying to cause trouble?"
