“Did I say anything wrong?" Pearson retorted without an ounce of guilt.

“You were unfaithful. I merely enlightened your wife out of goodwill, so she wouldn't be left in the dark."

"So, should I be grateful to you?" Stetson had always believed that business disputes should remain within the world of business.

Invoking family matters was overstepping boundaries.

Pearson had no limits or boundaries when it came to his actions.

He would do anything to achieve his goal.

He despised this very much.

“I've gathered some evidence, including the recording, which I'm about to hand over to the police. I assume you've got no objections?"

Stetson's smile remained intact.

Pearson's face, in contrast, paled significantly.

“Why are you going after me? We have no personal vendetta."

"Did we have personal issues when you sabotaged my life? You're the reason my ex-wife divorced me, and why I'm not allowed to see my children anymore. Am I just supposed to take this insult lying down?"

Stetson's face gradually turned cold.

His divorce wasn't the only repercussion.

It had also led to substantial disruption of numerous company projects.

His ex-wife had taken a considerable amount of money from him.

Not that he was overly concerned about the money.

But the drain on his liquidity affected his ventures, causing many to be discontinued or put on hold.

He had incurred substantial losses.

Pearson was right about him having an affair; it was a mistake he regretted, one that his mistress used to her advantage.
