" I've come uninvited today to extend my personal congratulations to Mr. Canfield on his joyous wedding . 11 Simon kept his cool , ignoring Anthony's antics . " I've got a few photos here I'd like to share with the bride's family and friends . " He whipped out his phone , showing off a cozy picture of Simon and Jessica . Simon , ever so considerate , offered , " Mr. Harris , your phone screen seems a bit small . How about we put it up on the big screen ? " Anthony smirked . " That would be just great . " The tech crew got to work , and soon Anthony's phone was casting to the massive electronic screen behind him . Anthony could not hide his smugness . " Mr. Canfield , the lady in the photo , could she be the secret lover you've been seeing behind your fiancée's back ? I'm curious , what's your excuse ? " Simon let out a dismissive snort . " The lady in the photo , Mr. Harris - recognize her ? " " Absolutely ! She's my wife . " Simon burst into laughter . " But the wife I've heard about is Linda , not the one you're sneaking around with . " Caught off guard , Anthony scrambled to explain . " I married Linda on paper because she needed help when she first went abroad . However , Jessica is the one I truly love . " Simon smirked . " Am I hearing this right ? The woman you love and the one you're married to aren't the same person ? " Anthony had spoken without thinking , and he was filled with regret . " No , no . Linda and I are getting a divorce , and I'll marry my true wife when it's settled . You don't need to worry about it . " Simon casually pointed at the big screen . " Mr. Harris , would you mind explaining this video ? " The video showed Anthony violently attacking Linda . Anthony turned to see it and went white as a sheet. " Who did this ? Who's been tampering with my photos ? " Had Anthony himself not given his phone to the staff? " Kidnapping , beating - Anthony , you think the cops might be interested in what's on your phone ? " Anthony snapped to his senses . " Give me my phone back ! " Simon took a few steps back . " The police have been called . Any guesses on who made the call ? " 1/2 Chapter 25 " Linda ?

Sneaking around with another man's wife while your own fiancee is in the dark , aren't you scared of a scandal ? " Simon just smirked as if to say , ' What are you going to do about it ? ' " Anthony , you're clueless . " Take a good look at who's in the audience . " Confused , Anthony glanced over the crowd and his heart sank . The audience was packed with the Harris family's kin , their friends , and the big - time shareholders of Harris Group . He lost his balance and plopped down on the stage . Pointing at Simon , he accused , " You set me up ? " With a cunning lift of his eyebrows , Simon replied , " I did . So what ? " The crowd started whispering and sneering at Anthony , looking at him as if he was trash . " He's disgraced the Harris family . He should be stripped of his family name right now .
