Chapter 32 Asset Transfer
It was hard to live under the same roof with an unfaithful husband.
So, I admired those couples who had no feelings for each other and were still chained up together. My marriage was like a dráma show. Oswald and I were giving the best performance of our lives.
Ever since I found that condom, I couldn’t allow myself to have S** with him. His every action made me disgust and retch, and it became a sickness. After I saw the two photos, the sickness worsened. I got
goosebumps every time he touched me. Luckily, he didn’t lust after me at the moment.
He droned on about taking me to the hospital. I insisted on saying I was fine, so he gave up persuading me and distanced himself from me.
I pulled out all the stops to find out Oswald’s secrets. After I browsed the real data that Eleanor hacked for me, I was struck dumb. The total sales of his company were higher than I expected.
However, 80% of his clients were discovered by me. I knew they had good potential, and as expected, they thrived these years. Oswald reaped the benefit of my hard work and moved up in the world. No wonder he abandoned himself to debauchery.
The files that Oswald told Orlando to give me were recent. I randomly checked the so–called development companies and found out most of them were just frauds.
But strangely, the rate of pay wasn’t high on the books. Oswald was a shrewd businessman. He knew the risks of not collecting those payments.
The existing date suggested there wasn’t enough circulating capital. So, where was the rest of the money?

I knew something was fishy, but I couldn’t find the problem.

After I cross–checked the files, I realized that Oswald had lied about his assets and transferred them a long time ago.
I had to admit he played me like a fiddle. Good thing that it wasn’t too late.
Eleanor brought some good news. She not only found the pattern and Orlando’s regular schedules but also gleaned more of “his secrets“.
So, I decided it was time to make Orlando take a side.
In the morning, I took the same car with Oswald to the company. Then I found Orlando rush into Oswald’s office to report.
I took two keys, sneaked out of the Glorious Building, and took a cab to the Golden Mansion.
The decoration work was drawing to an end. The workers were cleaning the rooms.
After I arrived, I sent the workers away and went on a tour of the villa. The house was small but nice. The layout was simple and ingenious. The decoration was exquisite and not superfluous. It appeared Oswald’s taste was improved.
He was no longer the poor young man who used to live in a cramped old apartment with his family.
These days, Oswald didn’t leave the company and buried himself in work. It was impossible to know what he was plotting.
He was as sly as a fox.
I milled around in the villa. When it was about time, I went downstairs, sat on the couch in the living room, and waited patiently for Orlando.

Chapter 33 Surprise visit
Orlando showed up on time.
The minute he entered the room, he shouted, “Where the hell is everyone?”
Before his voice trailed off, he–froze and gaped at me who was sitting on the couch leisurely.
I cracked a smile. “Mr. Richardson!”
After a while, he closed his mouth and stammered, “Mrs… Mrs. Price!”
“What? Are you surprised to see me?” I was still wearing a smile. “Come, take a seat! I let the other workers go home!”
“Ah… well, I, I need to make a call first and tell… the foreman to count their working hours!” When Orlando finished talking, he scurried toward the door.
“Orlando! What’s the rush?” I asked slowly. My grave and intimidating voice echoed in the spacious room.
Orlando stopped, looking back at me, flustered. His lips were twitching, and his face turned pale.
“I think you’d better take my advice and take a seat! I came here specifically to speak to you! So, I sent those people away!” I looked at Orlando calmly, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat. “What? I can’t call the shots now?”
My voice was filled with sarcasm. Back when Orlando saw me, he would wag his tail, run to me, and call me “Cassie” fondly.

Orlando wiped his pallid face and wended his way back with a wry smile. Every step he took sounded heavy.
“Ca… Cassic! Yes, you can! I won’t forget how you helped me! I’m grateful for it! I won’t go this far without you!” Orlando smiled bitterly and gingerly approached the couch.
I raised my chin, signaling him to sit.
“I’ll… just stand! Cassie, I… I didn’t know you would come here! Haha!” Orlando explained guiltily.
“Oh?” I shot a fierce stare at him. “Do you think I can’t come here?”
I craned my neck, pretended to be admired, and looked around, “Lovely house! I like it!”
Orlando knitted his brows and clenched his fists. “Yes… it’s lovely! I’m glad that you like it!”
“Sadly, it’s not for me!” I fixed my eyes on him again. “Will you do me thè honor and tell me… who Mr. Price planned to give this house to?”
Orlando swallowed. “What… are you talking about, Cassie? There’s no one else Mr. Price would give this house to except for you!”
“Is that so?” I answered carelessly while playing on my phone. “Mr. Price always likes to surprise me!”
I sneered. When I made this brag, my face blushed with shame.
“Of course… you also did a wonderful job keeping this secret from me!” My tone was harsh.
Orlando’s face twitched. He smiled awkwardly and said, “Thanks! Oh… no… I didn’t mean that…”
“Orlando, you have worked for Prosper Materials for years! Look what

you’ve achieved! I still remember how we chased our dreams on the streets, and we sat on the curb and ate bread and pickled cucumber at noon… How times have changed!” I said indifferently. “Come to think of it, I’m not as generous and kind as Mr. Price! He taught you both legal and illegal ways to earn extra cash! He’s the one who should be loved by everyone!”
“Cassie… don’t say that, I.:.” Orlando was sweating bullets.
“Oh, right. I haven’t seen your wife for ages. How is she? I must pay her a visit someday!” I changed the subject suddenly. My voice was relaxed. “I’m such a fool. I lost touch with so many friends! It’s all my fault!”
“She’s great, Cassie! She’s also pregnant!” Orlando wiped away the sweat on his face, his lips curling. “Thank you for caring for us, Cassie!”
“What? Pregnant? That’s wonderful. You’re going to be a father!” I feigned surprise. “How old is the baby?”
“Six months,” Orlando smiled reluctantly.
“Oh, good to know!” I nodded. “Then… you must cherish her!”
I smiled at Orlando and said mischievously.
Orlando was startled when he met my eyes. “Cassie…”
I looked away and chose to cut to the chase. “Who is Oswald’s mistress?”
Orlando was bemused by my question. He sprung up from the couch and said, “I don’t know, Cassie!”
“You don’t know?” I stretched out every word I said. If looks could kill, Orlando would be dead by now.
“I…”
“Who’s the woman?” I interrogated him.
