?Chapter 1666:


    Thepulsion to flee had overwhelmed all else, driving her to abandon the hotel with such precipitous haste that she hadn’t even left a whispered exnation for Ernest.


    The bitter irony that now twisted like a knife in her gut was that yearster, Ernest would confess that during those same fateful hours when her world had imploded… he had unknowingly shared an intimate encounter with Elissa! The parallel vition of their trust and bodies had urred simultaneously under the same roof, orchestrated by unseen hands!


    The horrifying revtion yanked Linda’s thoughts back to the present moment with brutal force.


    Linda leveled a prating gaze at Ernest, her voice wavering between usation and desperate hope.


    “That night, my vition—was I merely coteral damage in someone’s vendetta against you?”


    “Yes.” Ernest expelled a heavy breath as his shoulders sagged with the weight of guilt, his nod barely perceptible.<fna5e6> Content originallyes from find(?)ovel</fna5e6>


    The ugly truth he had concealed for years now stood exposed between them, raw and festering.


    “It was…” Linda’s eyes flooded with crimson as blood vessels burst from emotion, her voice hollowed by the revtion. “Your business rivals who orchestrated our destruction?”


    “Yes.” Ernest confirmed with a hesitant nod, as though the simple gesture might shatter what remained of herposure.


    That fateful evening, a crucial meeting with MK Capital’s executive board had been meticulously arranged—a potential partnership worth millions.


    Ernest’spetitors had resorted to the darkest tactics of corporate espionage, deploying pharmaceuticals rather than legitimate business strategies to ensure his absence from negotiations.


    The meeting represented a singr, unrepeatable opportunity to court MK Capital’s notoriously selective leadership. Ernest’s unexined absence would inevitably convey disrespect, effectively transferring the lucrative opportunity directly into hispetitors’ waiting hands.

    In the end, their machinations seeded with devastating precision. Ernest’s conspicuous absence from the negotiating table had cost him the partnership, diverting millions to undeserving hands.


    What these faceless corporate saboteurs could never have anticipated was how their calcted scheme would spiral beyond their intentions, leaving a trail of broken lives in its wake, including an innocent newlywed couple celebrating their union.


    Of course, even had they been confronted with the coteral damage they’d inflicted, such ruthless operatives would have regarded human suffering as an eptable cost of business advancement.


    The sordid tapestry of maniption and chance nowy fully unraveled before them—theplete, unvarnished truth exposed atst.


    As Ernest’s final word hung in the air, the atmosphere crystallized around them—dense, oppressive silence entombing the three figures as though they had been sh-frozen in the middle of this terrible revtion.


    Eric’s gaze traveled deliberately from Ernest’s haggard face to Linda’s devastated one, absorbing both expressions before averting his eyes, the weight of unspoken knowledge pulling his shoulders downward.
