I spent a lot of money to contact a hacker and sent him all the surveillance records at home.

Coincidentally, when I was renovating the place, my friend from childhood recommended hidden surveillance to me. I said OK and then totally forgot about it, and of course, Celeste wouldn't know.

In the following days, Celeste took her medicine on time. Other than that, she acted normal.

The hacker analyzed her phone password and sent it to me.

It was then that I realized that she never let me see her phone after getting married, even when she went to the bathroom or took a shower.

Finally, I took her phone while she was sleeping, but I couldn't find anything suspicious.

Even though I hired someone to investigate, there was nothing. During the time I was away on the business trip, she had three meals with Leon, but there were also other people present. The rest of the time, she only went out shopping or to Paige's house.

Leon was from out of town, and it was easy to find out everything about him. Even my assistant, Eric Mccarthy, asked me if I got Celeste wrong.

But the next day, Eric told me Celeste was meeting Leon at some hotel.

I went there from the company at once. On the way, I received photos of the two of them separating after having a meal together.

Suspicious, I returned home and saw Paige and Rocky.

"Jed, Celeste said that you took on a big project. Help Rocky out, will you? We're family."

Rocky placed the gift on the coffee table politely and said.

"In the future, if I have a profitable business, I'll return the favor."

Looking at Rocky, who was so polite, I suddenly thought of a famous saying.

"When you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

Apart from the identity of Celeste's cousin, Rocky completely met all the requirements.

I inexplicably remembered the day when the three walked out of the hospital, talking and laughing.

"Jed, hello? What are you thinking? Mom and Rocky are talking to you."

Celeste came in, nudged me, and warmly greeted them to sit down.

Paige looked unhappy. She sat on the sofa and complained non-stop.

"Back then, there were many men who were better than you wanted to be my son-in-law. Celeste didn't mind that you had no money and insisted on marrying you. Now that your company is thriving, what's wrong with helping Rocky out?

"Now that you've taken on a big project, your attitude towards us changed. You even ignore me when I speak."

As soon as she finished speaking, Celeste pouted discontentedly and gave me a disdainful glance.

Rocky mediated and told them not to blame me for his sake. He said that it was fine if I didn't help him because I didn't have the obligation to do so.

He was a complete phony.

If it were in the past, I wouldn't dare to offend Paige. I would have agreed to help and appease her, my mother-in-law, with a smiling face.

But not anymore.

Both Celeste and she are bitches! I bet she knows everything Celeste has done. Who gives her the right to boss me around?

Moreover, I help with most of Rocky's business, but the materials he supplies to me are more expensive than those I get from other suppliers.

Celeste cheated on me, and Paige gave her a hand. Why should I appease them?

"For this project, the material suppliers need to go through a public bidding process as usual. Glory Group will arrange for someone to participate throughout the entire process. I don't get to call the shots.

"Rocky, if you wanna bid, you can hand in your tender these days. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave."

After I finished speaking, I turned around and walked towards the study without looking at the changing expressions on their faces.

The sound of a glass falling to the floor echoed behind me. I closed the door and could still hear Paige cursing.

"What kind of attitude was that? Does he really think he's a big shot? Does he really think he's something?"

I smiled and sent a message to Eric.

[Find out everything about Rocky Shelton and his parents, including their relationship with the Kain family. In addition...]

The voices in the living room gradually became quieter. Celeste and the other two closed the door and left.

I knew Celeste wouldn't come back tonight. In all the years of our marriage, whenever I upset her, she would return to Paige's house and wait for me to bring her flowers and gifts to make her happy.

I must go to Paige's house!

After an entire night, early the next morning, I went to Paige's house with flowers and bags in all sizes to "apologize" to Celeste just as they had expected.

Celeste raised her chin and accepted the flowers.

She snorted, "You're not that stupid after all. But Mom's the one you've offended. Go and apologize to her nicely."

I smiled fawningly and followed her into the room, asking her to put in a few nice words for me. But then she kicked me out to the living room.

Paige was scolding mockingly in the kitchen.

I sat "uneasily" in the living room and finally said in embarrassment,

"Mom, I'm sorry, but I really can't help this time."

Then I left dejectedly.

Back in my private office, I immediately turned on my computer and pulled up the two hidden surveillance videos left at the Kain family's house.

It seemed that as soon as I left, Celeste and Paige called Rocky and asked him to come over.

In the video, I didn't see Paige, only Celeste and Rocky, the "cousins" embracing each other like a couple in love.

Rocky's hand reached into the corner of her clothes as he coaxed her.

"Celeste, after we secure the business with Glory Group this time, we will find a way to get rid of Jed. Then you will be mine completely."

In Celeste's eyes, there was deep affection that I had never seen before. With a blushing face, she softly and coquettishly said.

"Good. I'm not your cousin anyway.

"I'm yours to begin with. I always ask him to use protection when I have sex with him."
