Chapter 349
When Westin groggily opened his eyes, the sun was already shining bright.
He saw that he was still in last night’s clothes, lying on the bed, while Paityn had changed into different attire, calmly sitting at the edge of the bed and watching him. On the bedside table were milk, sandwiches, and sliced fruit.
It was clear that Paityn had helped him to bed and prepared breakfast for him.
He yawned and reached for the milk. “Are you feeling better? If you’re fine, let’s go to court together.”
Paityn didn’t answer his question. Instead, she placed her phone in front of him and said lightly, “I found this on your phone. I’ve already taken screenshots and recorded a video.”
During this time, her insomnia had been severe, so she had asked a doctor for sleeping pills and kept them on hand.
Last night, she had slipped a sleeping pill into Westin’s water, ensuring he slept soundly until morning.
Westin was baffled. When he saw the screen of her phone, his expression changed drastically. He grabbed the phone and quickly scanned through the screenshots, his face growing increasingly pale.
“These are fake. All of these are fake!” he shouted agitatedly. “I don’t know these people, and I haven’t contacted them. Did you deliberately Photoshop these images? What are you trying to do?”
As he spoke, he frantically began deleting the screenshots.
“It’s useless.” Paityn remained expressionless. “I’ve backed up dozens of copies in different email accounts, and I’ve set them to send at scheduled times. If you don’t want these screenshots and videos to spread across the internet, ruining your reputation and leading to your ban, then accept my conditions.
Westin’s hand froze mid–delete, and he looked up, his eyes filled with rage. “You dare to look through my phone? Are you looking for trouble?”
Paityn seemed like a different person, cold, detached, and ruthless. Her voice was devoid of emotion as she said, “You’re an adult. Stop throwing tantrums like a child. Staying calm is the way to solve problems.
“I have two conditions for keeping these scandals under
wraps.
“First, a peaceful divorce. You need to return all the money I earned during our marriage. Not a single penny less.
“Second, stop targeting Josie and stop entangling with the Donovan family.
“If Josie’s true parentage gets exposed, I won’t care about the details and will pin the whole thing on your family. Then, I’ll make sure the world knows about your pervert habits and your scandalous affairs with that popular singer, not to mention your bisexual flings.”
At this point, she revealed a mocking smile. “I bet no one expected that the ‘piano prince‘ from a prestigious family would
turn out to be such a loser.”
Westin looked at her in shock, unable to believe that she was the same obedient, compliant wife. “You… You want a divorce?
“Paityn, don’t forget, when you returned to the music scene, you were already washed up. It was I and the Pittman family who supported you, helping you regain your former glory.
“If we divorce, you’ll lose the support of the Pittman family and will never be able to…
“You don’t need to worry about that.” Paityn interrupted him. “After the divorce, we’ll be strangers, with no ties to each other.”
Westin stared at her again, stunned.
He didn’t know why Paityn changed so much in just one night.
He suspected he was dreaming.
So, Westin pinched his cheek and felt the pain, confirming that it was real. “Paityn, I sacrificed important engagements to come to Kitmore City to take care of you when you were sick. You seemed fine last night, so why have you suddenly become so terrifying, as if you hold a grudge against me?”
“Because I just realized that your family is rotten to the core,” After holding back for so long, Paityn finally erupted, grabbing the fruit bowl from the bedside table and smashing it against Westin’s face, screaming hysterically.
“Two nights ago, Konnor and Saanvi discussed in the living room how to use Josie. I heard everything from my hiding spot in the bedroom.
“I’ve been your family’s nanny for three whole years, letting you all boss me around. I handed over all my bank books and cards to you, receiving only a fixed allowance each month. I had to get reimbursement for everything I bought, and yet you still plotted against my biological daughter. I’m fed up! I can’t stand it anymore.”
“Westin, just your long–term ‘soliciting prostitutes‘ alone is enough for you to be blacklisted.
“If news about your affair with a popular male singer gets out, that person will also be ruined.
“And don’t think I don’t know. Because of soliciting prostitutes, you caught a shameful disease. Even after getting treated, you lost the ability to have children, and now, you’ll never have a second child for the rest of your life.
“That’s why your family cherishes Lorelai so much, complying with her every whim, raising her to be spoiled, heartless, and utterly lacking in empathy.
“Your family will eventually be destroyed by her! No, wait, you’re the real bastards. You won’t even have to wait for her to grow up. You’ll ruin yourselves first.”
This barrage of cold, ruthless insults, packed with secrets and scandals, flowed from Paityn’s lips, relentlessly firing and leaving Westin helpless.
Westin stared at Paityn, no longer exuding the arrogance and toughness from before. “How… How did you find out?”
Paityn grabbed a cup of water from the bedside table and gulped half of it down before wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. She replied coldly, “I’ve been married to you for three years, and I’m still not pregnant. I secretly checked your medical reports and discovered that you once had an incurable disease.
“I was worried about getting infected by you, so I secretly got checked myself. Then I sneaked a look at your phone and
knelt to apologize found out that you cheated on Lola’s mother while she was pregnant. When Lola’s mother found out, you
started soliciting prostitutes. and were too scared to find the women you knew, so you
“Lola’s mother was already struggling with postpartum depression, and then she found out you were cheating with her best friend. I really suspect that the reason she fell off the stage was because of the distraction from your affair, causing her to lose her focus and make a wrong turn.”
“No!” Westin threw off the covers, shouting excitedly, “Her fall from the stage had nothing to do with me. She said she had already forgiven me…”
“What about her parents and brother?” Paityn interrupted him, “If they knew about the things you’ve done, would they forgive you too?”
