Chapter 3

Howard has no children, so I am his only heir.

The legacy he left behind abroad is enough to make me one of the richest people in the world.

I was so excited that I wanted to tell Victoria the good news right away.

At that time, I thought that as long as I took over Howard's inheritance, Victoria would be able to easily become a rich wife and no longer have to worry about the affairs of the Lancaster Group.

As a result, as soon as I called Victoria, before I even mentioned Howard's inheritance, Victoria impatiently yelled at me, blaming me for disturbing her rest.

At the same time, I heard Chase's smug laughter coming from the other end of the phone.

Then Victoria hung up the phone.

My joy and excitement completely vanished at that moment.

The relationship between Victoria and I completely collapsed at that time.

After Mr. Thornton learned about this, he asked someone to investigate Chase. He originally wanted to help me teach Chase a lesson.

As a result, it was discovered that Chase had a major problem.

If Victoria continues to be with Chase, she will be doomed.

But even if I reminded Victoria, it was useless.

Instead, she thought I was slandering Chase!

Forget it, good words cannot persuade a damned ghost, and great compassion cannot save others who have committed suicide.

Victoria and I have signed the divorce agreement, and from now on her affairs have nothing to do with me.

Just as I was reminiscing about the past, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was Mr. Thornton calling.

After the call was connected, Mr. Thornton said in a somewhat strange tone, "Young Master, the Lancaster Group has issued an announcement. The slander against you has become a hot topic. It seems that they want to completely destroy your reputation."

"Do you want me to take action to wipe out all the negative influences on the Internet?"

After hearing what Mr. Thornton said, I checked the online trending search list in confusion and found that the top three were posts that slandered me.

The content of the post was all slandering me for having a life of drinking and whoring outside, and for having contracted STDs, etc.

The announcement from Lancaster Group was also rather vague. While firing me, they also mentioned that Victoria and I had signed a divorce agreement.

As a result, many netizens started discussing it heatedly.

"I never realized that Alexander was such a scumbag!"

"I always thought he was a good man who doted on his wife, but I didn't expect it was all a facade."

"Lancaster Group has issued a notice, revoking Alexander's position as vice president. Victoria has also signed a divorce agreement with Alexander, and Alexander forfeited all marital assets. This proves that those posts are not slandering Alexander. Alexander not only had an affair but also contracted an STD. This is proven."

"Sisters, you must keep your eyes open and stay away from this kind of dog man!"

Public opinion on the Internet spreads very quickly, and there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames.

Just like Mr. Thornton said, Victoria is going to completely ruin my reputation!

I told Mr. Thornton, "Don't worry about what's happening online. Victoria and Chase want to destroy my reputation, so let them do it!"

"I'll settle this account with them in a month, after Victoria and I get our divorce certificate."

For the next period of time, I lived in the Sterling family's villa and ignored the disturbances in the outside world.

On the day that Victoria and I agreed to get the divorce certificate, I just arrived at City Hall and saw Victoria and Chase holding hands and snuggling together, talking and laughing.
