My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 462

Chapter 462: An Affair To Forget
Stefan sighed deeply before telling her what he had seen online: gossip about Tristan dating in the park. The article also showed Tristan holding hands with a woman, but her face was blurred, and no one knew her identity.

Bella was shocked to hear this. She tried to suppress the anger that slowly built up within her, telling herself, ‘Calm down, Bella! Calm down! It’s just gossip. Tristan wouldn’t betray you!’

Seeing Bella remain calm and silent, Stefan continued, “Sis, no worries. I already deleted the trashy gossip article about your husband. I also punished the person who uploaded the gossip. They’ll suffer financially because all their internet-connected gadgets won’t work.” A devilish smile slowly graced Stefan’s face.

Leo and Sam’s jaws dropped at Stefan’s words.

“You’re the best, Stefan!” Leo raised his thumbs in approval.

“Hahaha, that’s not the end, bro. Those fools will never use any phone, laptop, or anything in the future…”

“Huh!? What do you mean?” Leo asked, confused. Sam also frowned.

Stefan proudly smiled before continuing, “I sent a deadly virus to them. When they activate their new gadgets using the same email or phone number, the virus will activate and render them useless. Well, they’ll never have a working gadget again in their lives. Don’t worry, they’ll regret it—”

Bella didn’t care that Stefan could delete the article or punish them with his deadly virus. What she cared about now was Tristan’s affair.

‘That’s not true, right? I heard wrong, right?’ she tried to calm herself, drowning in her own thoughts.

“So, my pretty sister Bella, don’t be angry—”

“Stop talking, Stefan!” Bella snapped, cutting him off. Her sudden anger made his blood run cold.

Suddenly, the room became silent and cold as the temperature seemed to drop below freezing.

“Stefan, listen,” Bella spoke in a low tone, her eyes sharply focused on him. “I don’t care about your deadly virus. What I care about is how Tristan could have a woman out there. Can you explain that to me? My husband couldn’t possibly do that; I know him well.”

Stefan nodded, unable to say anything. She was indeed correct.

“Now, I want you to investigate that. Don’t just erase those articles,” she continued.

“I understand,” Stefan responded. “Sister, sorry. I was shocked earlier, so I deleted it without checking the source thoroughly.”

“Show me the article!” Bella demanded. She wouldn’t believe it without seeing it herself.

Bella was still trying to stay positive. It could be an old photo of Tristan before they decided to get back together. She clearly remembered Tristan being rumored to date celebrities.

She didn’t believe Tristan would betray her and wouldn’t jump to conclusions without hearing his explanation.

Stefan nervously replied, “Sister, I’m sorry, but I already deleted the article.” He didn’t want to upset her, especially after learning she was pregnant.

Bella took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves after hearing his excuses. She avoided eye contact with him, fearing she’d lose her temper.

After feeling slightly better, Bella looked back at Stefan and said, “Do you think I’m stupid? I know you can retrieve what you’ve deleted, right? Hurry up, show me.”

While Bella and Stefan were talking, Sam rechecked the news online to confirm that Stefan was right—that the particular news had disappeared from the internet.

However, when Sam opened the browser, the news immediately appeared on his screen.

“Why is the news still there…?” Sam asked, looking at Stefan.

“What!?” Stefan was taken aback. He quickly checked his phone, and his eyes widened when he saw the news still there.

Similar articles started appearing, with a clear photo of Tristan leaning in to kiss the woman. But the woman’s face was still blurred.

“Who the hell is this person…” Sam exclaimed.

Bella felt her heart racing as she saw Sam and Stefan’s expressions. She started to worry about seeing the article.

“Stefan, didn’t you delete it? Why is the article still there? Didn’t you say you’d punish them with your deadly virus?” Leo asked.

“I did!” Stefan replied, baffled. This was the first time someone had found his virus’s weakness so quickly. He began to suspect that whoever uploaded the article had a powerful hacker behind them.

Stefan turned to Bella, who was still looking at him with a confused and worried expression.

“Sister, I need your computer. Can I borrow it?”

“Sure,” Bella said, looking at her desk. She stood up and followed Stefan.

When Stefan started to focus on the computer, she picked up her cell phone.

Bella was surprised to see many text messages in her inbox, including from Tristan and her mother, but she ignored them. She needed to see what made them all so nervous.

Her hand trembled as she held her cell phone. She felt scared, sad, and confused but tried to stay positive.

She immediately opened the browser, and the article title on her screen made her stomach churn.

Without waiting any longer, she opened the article, her eyes fixed on the picture. She saw Tristan’s face clearly, holding hands with a woman. Her brow furrowed while she focused on the woman’s face.

As she was about to say something, Stefan cursed and stopped her.

“What the heck!” Stefan’s eyes widened as he looked at the computer screen.

All eyes turned to him.

Aware of Bella and the others’ gazes, Stefan stopped typing and looked at each of them.

A wide smile graced Stefan’s relieved face as he said, “Sister, don’t worry, the news was uploaded by—” He paused when he saw Bella walking towards the sitting area, ignoring him.

Curiosity got the better of him when he saw how calm she was. He couldn’t help but ask, “Sister, do you already know about it?”

“Hmm, I know—” Bella said.

Stefan gasped as he stood up, followed her, and sat opposite her.

“Did they tell you?” Stefan asked. He had noticed her checking her phone earlier.

“What are you both talking about? Know about what?” Leo looked confused as he watched Bella and Stefan exchange words. “What about the article, Stefan?”

“The article is still there, man!” Sam answers Leo.

Leo turned his gaze back to Stefan. “Man, you can’t even delete the article!?”
