The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

---- Chapter 132: Between Truth And Betrayal ~ Calum ~ Calum had to see it for himself. He ordered his IT Manager to open his uncle's computer, his uncle's assistant's computer, and the two accountants, named in the FBI report. It did not take long. The same files given by the FBI were found on their hard drives. Calum's uncle had not yet arrived for work, but his assistant sure did. Immediately after being found out, the assistant went down on his knees, admitting, "Sir, | had no choice. Your uncle threatened to fire me if | did not cooperate with him!" "Yet," Calum said in anger.

"You enjoyed a 1% kickback with everything he stole!" "Tell me! These ghost employees? Where does the money go?" Calum asked. His uncle's assistant was being held down by security personnel within his office. He cried as he admitted, "It-it goes to your uncle's alternate bank accounts. He has many, Sir. The accounts were created under fake names, but only your uncle has access to them." "Please, Sir, forgive me. I'm willing to testify against your uncle, just don't include me in your lawsuit," the assistant begged. " My wife is about to give birth.

If | did not help your uncle, he would deny my annual raise." Calum was in no mood to show mercy. For now, he said, "You are fired!" He turned on his heel, walking back to the IT department. ---- More than anything, he wanted to thank Taurus7 and the FBI agent for their help. If not for them, the truth would not have come out. If not for them, Calum would remain blind to his uncle's crimes. When Calum made it back to the IT department, Taurus7 and the FBI agent had already left. Calum ran in the direction of the lift and made his way to the underground parking.

It was there that he caught up with them. There were three of them now, and they were about to enter a private car. "Wait! Wait!" Calum called, running in their direction. "I want to thank you." "Mr. Montclair, you can thank them later," Cassie said. "Or over the phone-" But Calum had already grabbed Taurus7's arm. The cyberspecialists turned to him, bare-faced, and Calum was shocked by what he had seen. Taurus7 was not a man, but a woman? Not only that... Taurus7 was his ex-wife, Soraya Azar! "Shocking, isn't it?

The woman you chose to abandon still decided to save your sorry ass." Calum snapped his gaze to the tall man on the other side of the car. It was Silas Ward. "Wait. What is going on?" Calum asked, still shocked. "Mr. Montclair, for the protection of our external cybersecurity specialists, make sure to keep their identities a secret. After ---- all, you signed a non-disclosure agreement," Cassie reminded. "Without them, no one will protect companies such as yours from any cyber intrusion." 'So; he thought. 'Silas and Soraya were working with the FBI?' Calum's brows knitted together.

He asked, "Soraya, you are... Taurus7?" Soraya nodded. "I majored in Computer Engineering, remember? Systems, networks, security-this is my field." "Her skills are unmatched. She may just be the best in the country,' Cassie commented. "Mr. Montclair, if there's nothing else. | have to go," Soraya said. "I hope you know what to do with the information you have in your hands." "Wait. Wait." Calum's face reddened. He remembered his last talk with Soraya at the city hall, how he owed her.

He laughed at himself, saying, "No wonder you asked for fifty million." "Can | speak with you personally, please?" He requested, his voice firm. "| just want to... apologize." "Well, you already did, right now," Soraya said. "And | can't stay long. | have to go home." "Just a few minutes, please," Calum appealed, and Soraya reluctantly agreed. Soraya covered her face again with a face mask. She walked with Calum to a vacant part of the parking area. From there, he said, "I never expected you to have this kind of job." soe ~ Soraya ~ ---- "Did you never recognize me, Calum?

| was your wife for seven years," Soraya asked. Calum's face looked a bit guilty as he replied, "No, you covered yourself well." Soraya frowned. Calum was truly different from Jacob. "So you were the same person who saved Jacob's company?" Calum asked. "Did he... recognize you?" "No," Soraya lied. He nodded, saying, "I suppose he wouldn't." "Listen, about what | said to you back then at the city hall, | spoke and judged without verifying," Calum said. "And for that, lam sorry." Soraya frowned. It wasn't like Calum to apologize, but she simply nodded. "I'm used to you not verifying things.

In your eyes, | will always be the villain." Her words made Calum grimace, the sharp lines of his face tightening. His blue eyes were intense and unyielding. He opened his mouth as if to speak, then closed it again, jaw flexing. Even in casual clothes, there was no mistaking the authority he carried. "I'm trying hard not to bring up the past anymore, Soraya." Soraya just sighed and said, "Do you have anything else to say? Because | really need to get home." "Keep the money | gave you. | owe you, and... thank you for helping me with the company,' he said.

"I have already given Agent Cassie the check for your reward. You charged quite a hefty though." ---- "| have never spent so much time dealing with a cyberattack. It's only fair,' Soraya said without looking at him this time. Calum took a deep breath. He caressed his jaw and looked around the parking lot. He revealed, "I just thought you should know that Rose and | are getting married. I'll be speaking to Sage properly about our divorce, and she might want to speak to you as well." "Rose is... pregnant," Calum said. Soraya returned to looking into his eyes. "Congratulations.

You both deserve each other." "At least, with Rose, it... started the right way," he said, clearly referring to how they were both forced to marry because of the situation seven years ago. This time, Soraya had to agree. Her voice softened as she said, "Of course. | agree." Still, she was wrongly accused of that incident, but Soraya knew it was only a matter of time before the truth about the drugging would come to light. The Montclairs now had an open reason to look deeper into Marvin Rowan. Plus, the police had already sent someone undercover to the Rowan residence.

The Rowans were already in the hot seat, and Soraya was certain that once panic set in, they'd eventually crack, and when they did, the truth about that night would spill out from their own mouths. "Just text me when | can see Sage," Soraya said. "You blocked my number. We are still going to co-parent our child. You should unblock me," he reminded. ---- "Right," Soraya said. "| really need to go." Now that they had that out of the way, Soraya left with Silas and Cassie. She meant not to report to Aegis Core Systems that day. In the car, Soraya unblocked Calum's number.

When she arrived at Jacob's mansion, she received his text. Calum: [How about you meet Sage on Wednesday?) Soraya: [Wednesday afternoon is fine.] She agreed, but she didn't know that when Wednesday would come, Soraya would be forced to choose between her real daughter and... Angela.
