My Husband Divorced Me To Marry His Mistress, Thinking He Owned My Family’s Multi-million Dollar Company. He Just Found Out He’s Actually An At-will Employee. Who Should Tell Him He’s About To Get Arrested At His Own Wedding?

Shopping Spree Failures

After the hotel business, Sylvia dragged Damian to jewelry boutiques and wedding dress shops. Sylvia’s shopping spree seemed insatiable. She chose a massive diamond ring and a dress from a renowned designer.

When trying to pay for the ring, Damian used his personal debit card for a much smaller transaction than the ballroom rental, but once again, the transaction failed. The boutique cashier looked at Damian with pity. Damian truly panicked.

He tried to open his mobile banking app on his phone to make a transfer, but he couldn’t log in, receiving a notification: “Your account has been temporarily locked, please contact your branch.”

Cold sweat began to trickle down Damian’s temples. He told Sylvia that his phone probably had a virus or had been hacked, which was why the banking app was giving an error for security reasons. Sylvia was starting to look annoyed and suspicious.

However, Damian managed to convince her with sweet promises that he would sort out all these technical issues at the bank the next morning, and she could buy anything she wanted. For that day, Damian was forced to take Sylvia home empty-handed, except for the promise of the lavish party they had just booked.

In the car, Damian tried calling his mother. He hoped he could borrow some cash to get by, but his hopes were dashed when his mother’s voice on the phone sounded angry. She had already heard about Damian and Eleanor’s divorce from other relatives.

His mother scolded him harshly for divorcing Eleanor, who had always been a good daughter-in-law from a respected family. She refused to lend him any money and told Damian to solve his own problems like a grown man. Damian threw his phone onto the car seat in frustration.

He felt like the world was conspiring against him that day. He didn’t realize it wasn’t a conspiracy of the universe, but the cold execution of Eleanor’s plan.

The Manager’s Secret

Meanwhile, in the hotel manager’s office, the manager was on the phone with someone after Damian and Sylvia had left. He spoke in a respectful tone. On the other end of the line was Eleanor’s personal assistant.

The hotel manager reported that Damian had just handed over a company check to pay for the party. Eleanor’s assistant gave specific instructions: let the party preparations continue, accept the check, but don’t deposit it until the day of the event to give Damian a false sense of security. Eleanor wanted Damian to sink even deeper into the trap of debt and shame.

The hotel manager understood and hung up. The party would go on, but not as a celebration of love, but as the stage for the destruction of Damian’s arrogance.,

The Morning After

The morning after the dramatic hotel booking, Damian woke with a sense of unease. Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the curtains of the luxury apartment he had rented the previous month as a temporary residence with Sylvia. His head felt heavy, not from lack of sleep, but from worry about his credit cards, which had suddenly stopped working the day before.

He sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing his face roughly, trying to convince himself it had just been a temporary glitch in the central banking system. He was the CEO of a major company; it was impossible for a bank to block his access without prior notice. Damian picked up his phone from the nightstand, hoping to find a message from the bank explaining the situation.

But his phone’s screen was clear of any banking notifications. Instead, there was a message from Sylvia, who had already woken up, saying she was waiting for him in the lobby, impatient to continue their wedding shopping agenda. Damian showered and dressed quickly.,

He put on his best shirt and a designer watch to bolster his slightly wavering confidence. When he went down to the lobby, he saw Sylvia sitting relaxed, flipping through a fashion magazine. Sylvia’s face lit up when she saw Damian.

She immediately stood up and took his arm flirtatiously, reminding him of the long list of things they had to buy that day. Sylvia wanted to buy imported designer shoes, a limited edition leather handbag, and even order special wedding favors flown in from abroad. Damian smiled grimly, nodding along to all her requests while trying to figure out how he would pay for everything if his credit cards were still blocked.

He decided to try his luck again that day, hoping the banking system had returned to normal. Their first destination was a luxury handbag and shoe boutique in the city’s most exclusive shopping mall. Sylvia entered the store as if she were a queen inspecting her kingdom.,

The staff, trained to cater to wealthy clients, welcomed them graciously, offering cold drinks and small snacks. Sylvia, without hesitation, pointed out three handbags, each priced equivalent to a new motorcycle. She also tried on several pairs of crystal-encrusted high heels.
