Time washes away the dross

7.9 / 10.0
For six years, billionaire Gerald was celebrated as the ultimate devoted husband in the entertainment industry. He shielded his wife from scandal, retired behind the scenes, and funded a massive production that launched her into overnight stardom. Their public marriage was hailed as a perfect fairy tale. However, this flawless facade crumbles when she discovers a hidden video on his computer. The footage reveals a half-naked Gerald in an intimate, highly suspicious encounter with another girl.

Time washes away the dross Chapter 1

After six years of marriage, Gerald was a well-known "wife-loving maniac" in the entertainment industry.

As the richest man in the industry, he never met actresses alone and even retreated behind the scenes for me. He spent hundreds of millions to tailor a play for me. The play became a hit as soon as it was broadcast and I became famous overnight.

Everyone in the industry kept their marriage secret, but Gerald was the first to stand up and announce to the world on the day of getting the marriage certificate. "Wife, please give me more advice for the rest of my life!"

The entire entertainment industry praised our fairy love.

But just last night, I accidentally found an ambiguous video on his computer. Gerald was naked with his upper body, showing his seductive abdominal muscles and his bony hands were ambiguously pinching the girl's neck.

The girl he pressed under him was wearing a sexy maid outfit and she moaned with a dazed look. I recognized her at a glance. That girl was a female artist newly signed by his company three months ago.

Familiar footsteps came from outside the study. I exited the video file calmly, opened the video software casually and pretended to continue watching the drama.

Gerald hugged me from behind. He had just finished taking a shower and there was still a layer of warm moisture all over his body. He kissed my neck tightly.

"Lucy, you have been watching this drama for two hours. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."

He gently massaged my temples, his eyes fell on the laptop and his whole body froze.

"...Lucy, why are you using this laptop to watch the drama?" he asked.

Gerald's eyes flashed with panic, although he quickly recovered, but I still saw it.

I retracted my gaze lightly.

I replied calmly, "I just picked one up, is there anything wrong with this laptop?"

There were three or four laptops in Gerald's study. Two of them were for his office use and the other two were bought specifically for me to watch dramas. But I didn’t watch much usually.

Today, I suddenly wanted to watch a series from a few days ago, so I opened this laptop casually. Unexpectedly, I accidentally found something I shouldn't have seen.

"My dear, of course there is no problem. It's just that this laptop had a minor problem before. I forgot to ask my secretary to fix it and I was afraid that it would affect your experience of watching TV series." Gerald took the laptop from me unintentionally. He closed it and threw it aside.

Gerald's tone was a bit tentative, "Baby, did you see anything else just now?"

His guilty conscience made my heart sink.

I looked up at him and pretended to be at a loss, "What did you see?"

Gerald breathed a sigh of relief, "Nothing, the secretary used this computer a few days ago and downloaded some messy things. I haven't had time to clean it up. What if it's a virus or something? I'm afraid it will affect your experience of watching TV series."

Gerald took the laptop to the balcony of the study room and fiddled with it for a long time before coming over to hug me.

"Lucy, your husband had just take very clean shower today. Can I go to sleep with my Lucy?" He looked up at me with a smile.

Gerald, who has always been cold and aloof, was like a well-behaved puppy in front of me. I looked at him quietly, feeling a sour and swollen heart. Gerald and I had known each other for ten years and had been married for six years.

He always kept a distance from the opposite sex and even when working, he was determined not to be alone with actresses in a room. Faced with countless invitations from the opposite sex, he rejected them all with a cold face.

When others asked, they would say, "Sorry, my wife is very strict" or "I have an appointment with my wife."

Everyone in the entertainment industry envied our fairy love and everyone praised Gerald as a loyal and good man who was hard to come by in a century...
