After Divorce, I Returned as the Army's Queen novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Publicly Humiliating Your Family

Curtis turned to look at the massive screen at the front of the banquet hall.

Originally, it had only displayed the event’s name and a welcome message, but now the image on the screen shocked him. It showed Helen, Joanne, Chloe, and two unfamiliar men.

Chloe was slumped against the edge of the bed as the two unfamiliar men closed in on her with malicious intent. Meanwhile, Helen watched with a cruel smile, every word she spoke dripping with

venom.

For a moment, Curtis felt his mind go completely blank. He had no idea what was happening.

Beside him, Sonya’s face had also gone pale. Her mind raced in panic.

Although she’d known that Helen and Joanne intended to target Chloe, she’d never expected to see the scene appear on the banquet’s massive screen.

She had no idea who could have orchestrated it.

As Sonya anxiously tried to figure out what was happening, Chloe’s voice came through the screen, gasping for breath. “Aren’t you afraid of facing legal consequences for what you’re doing?”

Joanne laughed cruelly. “Legal consequences? Who’s going to see it? You took the key card yourself and entered this room on your own. The room is booked under your name as well. Later, everyone will just assume you set this up with these two men for some private fun!”

Curtis‘ eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that the sweet, charming sister he knew could smile while saying such cruel, vicious things.

This couldn’t be real. Joanne could never do something like this.

“No one in your family is decent!” Lena stormed straight to Curtis and yanked him by the collar, her eyes blazing with fury as she stared him down.

“Which room did Helen and Joanne take Chloe to? If they let those two men lay a finger on Chloe, I swear they’ll all pay for it with their lives!”

“What? They’re in a hotel room here?” Curtis exclaimed, shocked.

Lena said, “Your mother called Chloe and said she wanted to meet here!”

She was filled with guilt. She shouldn’t have just warned Chloe to be careful. She never should have let Chloe go alone. If anything happened to her, Lena knew she would never forgive herself.

Seeing Curtis looking confused, Lena shouted to the nearby hotel staff, “Check immediately! Find out which room this is!”

“Y–Yes! We’ll check it right away!” the staff stammered, fumbling for their radios and urgently contacting other hotel personnel as they rushed to trace Chloe’s location.

Curtis tried to reason. “This… maybe it’s just a misunderstanding, maybe there’s another reason…”

But before he could finish, Joanne’s venomous voice blared through the speakers connected to the screen, reaching everyone in the banquet hall.

“Oh, and I’ll be taking a few more ‘memorable‘ photos while I’m at it. If you even think about calling the police, your private photos will end up online, seen by thousands of men!”

Lena shouted at Curtis, her voice trembling with fury, “Misunderstanding? There’s no damn misunderstanding! Curtis, Chloe marrying you and ending up with your family is the worst luck ever!”

Curtis felt his face burn with shame. He couldn’t utter a single word in his defense.

On the screen, Chloe’s voice cut through sharply. “After doing something like this, do you really think Curtis will ever forgive you?”

Joanne laughed maliciously. “I bet Curtis will even thank me. If you ‘cheated‘, it gives him a perfect excuse to divorce you and be with Sonya without any guilt. Besides, he’s always loved Sonya. To him, you’re just a useless burden, a wife he’s meant to discard!”

Many people at the banquet knew Curtis and Sonya, and now all eyes turned toward them.

In everyone’s eyes, they had seemed like the perfect pair–one a rising star in the tech industry, the other

the refined heiress of the Miller family.

But now…

“Curtis is already married?”

“And now he’s going to abandon his wife for Ms. Miller?”

“I heard he was dirt poor before he started his company, and I can’t believe he’s already married–and he’s

even hiding it from everyone.”

“So does that make Ms. Miller a homewrecker?”

The murmurs around them left Curtis and Sonya looking pale and uneasy.

Sonya quickly shouted, “This has to be some kind of prank! Where are the staff? Turn off this screen

immediately!”

Meanwhile, Curtis frantically dialed Helen and Joanne, but the calls went straight to voicemail.

His face grew even paler as he shouted to the nearby hotel staff, “Have you found the room number yet?”

“We’re s–still checking!” the staff replied anxiously.

Curtis gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on the screen. If Chloe was really being violated by those two men,

then he…

Suddenly, it felt as if something had ripped through his chest, and he struggled to draw a single breath.

On the screen, Helen watched coldly while Joanne giggled, raising her phone to take photos. The two burly men grabbed Chloe’s arms, trying to drag her toward the bed.

Everything happening made Curtis feel desperate and utterly helpless.

Inside the room, Chloe looked up, her gaze unwavering as she faced Helen and Joanne. “Don’t you feel any regret for doing this?”

“I should have done this sooner. Then Curtis could have divorced you long ago!” Helen spat at Chloe.

Joanne glared at the two burly men, her voice dripping with malice. “Come on! Take it slow when you deal with her. I want every shot to be perfectly clear. I’ll get plenty of close–ups too! Later, when I post these online, everyone will know exactly who she is.”

The filthy words Joanne spoke made Curtis‘ face darken even more.
