Chapter 1

At the company's new product launch, I stood as Vice President to deliver the speech.

"This phone's camera function is incredibly powerful. Even from three miles away, it can capture a person's face with perfect clarity."

The entire venue erupted in uproar. Someone questioned skeptically:

"That's impossible. This technology is currently beyond what anyone in the world can achieve."

"If STAR, as a rising tech company, wants people to believe them, they need to show actual results."

I nodded.

"Of course. Please look at the big screen."

The next second, images of my wife and the sales manager entering and leaving a love hotel appeared on the large screen.

In the photo, Betty's features were extraordinarily clear.

Even the color of her eyeshadow was visible in perfect detail.

I began to explain the photo in detail.

"Everyone should recognize the people in this photo. On the left is my wife, Betty, who is also the CEO of STAR Tech."

"As for the one on the right, that's our company's sales manager, Paul."

People exchanged glances. The venue had fallen so silent you could hear a pin drop.

"I took this photo from the STAR Tech building."

"The distance to the hotel is exactly three miles."

Many people glanced toward the corner. A flash of panic crossed Betty's face before it gradually turned cold.

In contrast, Paul beside her quickly stood up to defend himself.

"Alex, are you deliberately trying to ruin me?"

"Betty and I are completely innocent!"

I raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "When did I ever say there was something going on between you two?"

Paul was instantly speechless, while Betty beside him wore a dark expression.

She stood up and asked me, "Alex, by showing this photo publicly, aren't you just accusing Paul and me?"

"If you have something to say, say it openly."

"There's no need to play these petty games behind people's backs."

Seeing she remained calm, I continued speaking.

"You're right. I do want to take this opportunity to ask clearly what your purpose was that day."

Many people sensed the atmosphere turning awkward.

But they all showed expressions of watching drama unfold, enjoying the spectacle at the scene. Some even started making comments.

"Could this be some new type of marketing stunt?"

"If so, they're really going all out."

"I don't think it's real either. Probably just trying to trend online."

But Betty explained without batting an eye, "What a coincidence. We were also planning to test the product's performance at the hotel that day."

"It's just that your results look better."

If I hadn't obtained solid evidence beforehand, I wouldn't have believed it either.

That the woman I'd loved for five years would go behind my back to a love hotel with the product manager.

When I first captured this, I briefly doubted I'd identified the wrong person.

However, the company's new product's main feature was ultra-long-distance high-definition photography.

Never mind facial features—you could even see the pores.

Paul quickly chimed in, "That's right, Betty and I were indeed testing the new product!"

Just when everyone thought I would fly into a rage over this.

I calmly raised my hand, signaling them not to be nervous.

"Do you think I'm an idiot? Testing a new product at a love hotel? Paul, if you like Betty, just tell me directly. I can file for divorce that same day. After that, even if you two sleep your way through every love hotel in America, it's none of my business."

Paul's face turned deathly pale as he shook his head frantically.

He began shouting his innocence to the surrounding crowd, "Everything I said is true! You have to believe me!"

I knew he wouldn't admit it because he cared about his reputation.

And his real objective hadn't been achieved yet. My public exposure had completely disrupted his entire plan.

Betty, wearing high heels, quickly strode onto the stage to confront me.

"Alex, do you have no idea how you even got into this company in the first place?"

"Without my family's support, could you have what you have today?"

"Now that you've grown wings, you want to use these filthy tricks to kick me aside, is that it?!"

I smiled as I answered her.

"Yes, that's right. I do plan to kick you out. Either divest your shares, or give me fifty million in cash. Choose one."
