Chapter 3

“Miss Gardner, hurry and remove it!”

No one knew which person began the mocking first.

The auction had first gathered many old schemers who enjoyed using dirty methods, and now they looked more thrilled than anyone else.

“Since you say you are innocent, what are you scared of?”

“President Holmes does not mind, so why can’t we look for him?”

My face became pale and hard, my fingertips cold.

Russell remained before me, his eyes holding proud kindness.

“Artemis, as long as you show that you are innocent, I can act like this situation never happened.”

I almost could not trust what I heard.

“You expect me to remove my clothes here and show them to them?”

He frowned. “If you never did it, why are you afraid?”

Camille laughed until her shoulders shook, her voice moving through the microphone across the whole hall.

“Miss Gardner would not be scared to prove herself, right?”

“Or… are there really kiss marks on your body?”

My thoughts turned empty because of anger.

I slapped Camille on her cheek.

Camille shouted, and the microphone slipped onto the floor, making a rough sound.

Russell’s expression changed instantly. He hurried forward several steps and wrapped his arms around her to protect her.

“Camille!”

He held her face, his voice full of worry. “Are you fine? Does your face hurt? Are you injured?”

He turned and yelled at me. “Artemis, are you mad? Do you know she is an actress! You dare hit her face?!”

Russell pushed me hard. My high heels slid, and my ankle bent painfully.

A severe pain burst from my ankle, and I almost fell to my knees from the pain.

I gripped the side of the table just to keep standing, sweat appearing on my forehead from pain, yet I still lifted my head and looked at him with red eyes.

“What?”

My voice sounded hoarse. “You want to be slapped, too? Then bring your face over!”

Russell’s face turned fully dark.

I could not understand why he believed so strongly that I would not do anything to him.

In only three years, he strongly reached the highest position in the field, because of whom?

The company’s initial capital of fifty million was given by me.

The first overseas shipping trade route was arranged by me.

His first important investment meeting was supported by me, secretly behind the scenes.

I supported him with my whole heart. I had already spoken with my father earlier.

On my birthday, I planned to tell Russell everything.

Tell him that my father was the person leading the number one financial group overseas.

My mother was the leader of the Gardner family, the main family among the four great families.

I wanted him to meet my parents with a position that was good enough.

I thought he finally had the ability to stand beside me.

But I was mistaken, completely mistaken!

Russell became angry from my disappointed look, his expression dark.

With Camille held inside his arms, he asked me coldly, “Do you remove it by yourself, or do you want me to let somebody help you remove it?”

My ankle shook from the ache, but I still lifted my frame and kept my back upright.

“Russell.”

I questioned him word by word, “You have decided to force me to face shame in a place like this, correct?”

He gave no denial.

“You caused this yourself. You can admit having a sugar daddy, yet you refuse to show you are innocent?”

Camille hid her face with her hands, her eyes showing the joy of getting revenge on me.

“Remove it! Why are you afraid? You feel guilty, don’t you!”

I felt too tired to keep debating with them, so I put my hand into my purse to pull out my mobile.

But a moment later, Camille suddenly ran forward, seized my mobile, and threw it hard onto the floor.

The display broke into many fragments.

The home display glowed briefly.

It showed an image of my dad and me that we had just snapped together.

When Russell noticed that picture, his expression turned fully dark.

His body shook with anger.

“You truly are not clear with that old guy! If nothing exists between you, why take such a close photo?!”

Anger nearly made me laugh.

“I already told you that is my real father! And what you are doing is group violence, it is against the law!”

“Russell, do not forget who supported you to reach where you are now!”

Like something had been struck, Russell mocked.

“Do not try to make yourself seem so helpless. You dare open your legs and attract an old man, yet you refuse to admit it?”

“Do you think I would feel pleased living on the dirty money you earned through those shameful ways?”

“I only feel sick. I no longer rely on your dirty money to stay alive!”

Each word felt like a knife dragging across my heart.

I looked at him and felt our three years of marriage were laughable, like a joke.

Russell spoke in a cold tone to the security guards next to him.

“Take off her clothes!”

Two security guards paused while walking toward me.

“Russell.”

My voice suddenly became cold as I spoke a hard warning, “If you dare let them touch me even a single time, you are done. Just prepare for bankruptcy!”

Camille instantly laughed and mocked when she heard that.

“Are you obsessed with acting like a wealthy young woman? Saying you can ruin someone in one night? Then I will say this, Artemis, just wait for your death!”

Russell looked at me with a cold expression, clearly not treating my words as important.

“You truly cannot be helped.”

My ankle was hurt, my phone was smashed, and I was surrounded from every direction.

Watching that I was about to suffer humiliation, I closed my eyes, drew a deep breath, and said, “Russell.”

“We are getting divorced.”
