"Otherwise… we'll settle this in court," I said.

Seeing the unprecedented coldness in my eyes, Cynthia finally realized that nothing she said could salvage this marriage. Her expression darkened.

She tore the divorce agreement apart again and sneered, "I don't even need to read it to know that a heartless man like you wouldn't offer me a fair deal. So I refuse.

But it wasn't long before she was fired, and afterward, she struggled to secure another job.In the end, she could only stay at home, living off her parents.The entire family moved back into their old, cramped house. Cynthia's parents' modest retirement income now had to support not only their daughter, but also Bobby and his child.Before long, tensions exploded. The household was filled with constant arguments, and the warmth and harmony they once flaunted vanished without a trace.I paid no attention to their internal conflicts. Instead, I quickly established a subsidiary company to directly compete with my father's business.It didn't take long before his already poorly managed company

    I shifted my investigation in private, tracing back the person who had originally recommended the female secretary to the company.Following the trail step by step, it led straight to my father.At that point, everything became clear.What I hadn't expected was that Cynthia had been involved as well."As the evidence shows," my lawyer stated firmly, "the so-called 'scumbag' accused by the plaintiff is, in fact, my client's biological father. The two bear a strong resemblance in both build and appearance…"And the other party deliberately impersonated him, leading to widespread misunderstanding. The alleged illegitimate child is also the result of the relationship between my client's father and this female secretary during their affair."As he spoke, more evidence was presented—footage of my father living with his mistress in a suburban villa, along with the DNA test confirming his relationship to the child."This entire matter, from the very beginning, is a conspiracy targeting

    For several days, the investigation yielded no progress.Meanwhile, the company's cash flow began to tighten. The banks started pressing for repayment, and our partners—openly and behind the scenes—urged us for answers. I had no choice but to dip into my personal savings to keep things afloat, but it barely covered a fraction of the gap.Then Cynthia bribed employees to leak the company's situation to the media. The stock price plunged again.News of the "scumbag CEO on the brink of bankruptcy" spread like wildfire, and countless netizens cheered at my downfall. Cynthia and her group, meanwhile, grew even more brazen and smug.On the day of the hearing, we met at the courthouse entrance.She stood there, held close by Bobby, her face filled with arrogance. The way she looked at me was no different from how one would look at trash."Johnny, I thought you were something special. Turns out you're nothing but a paper tiger—one poke and you collapse."My mother-in-law waved her hand

So I refuse."If we're divorcing, then at the very least I'm taking half your assets as compensation for the years I've wasted on you!"Hearing such outrageous words, I couldn't help but laugh in anger."I built this company from nothing with my own hands. What have you done all these years, besides using 'business trips' as an excuse to meet your lover?"I've already given you plenty of shares—not to mention everything you secretly transferred away. And now you still want a cut of what's left? Cynthia, do you even have a conscience?"Her gaze turned ruthless."If you won't play fair, don't blame me for doing the same. Either you acc

    Cynthia stared in disbelief. "What nonsense are you talking about? This card has no limit—how could it possibly be deactivated?"And on what grounds are you canceling my VIP status? Call your manager right now!"No matter how many times the receptionist tried to explain, Cynthia refused to listen. In the end, the staff had no choice but to call the manager.The lobby manager came down from upstairs. The man who had always treated Cynthia with courtesy now carried a faint air of indifference."Ms. Muller, how may I assist you? Has one of our staff failed to meet your expectations?"Cynthia didn't catch the sarcasm in his tone. With an air of command, she snapped, "This employee claims my VIP status is gone. Does she not know who I am? Completely unprofessional. Fire her immediately!"The manager wore a polite smile, but his words were anything but gentle."I'm sorry, Ms. Muller, but I personally revoked your VIP status.""What did you say? How dare you treat me like this! Be car

    The cold, perfunctory indifference I had always received in return.I let out a silent, mocking laugh and replied: [You want me to apologize to Bobby? Keep dreaming. No shares. No car. Just a divorce agreement.]After sending the message, I blocked every one of them.As soon as I finished handling matters, I rushed onto a plane and flew home, ignoring the barrage of calls Cynthia kept making.When she couldn't get through to me, she grew even angrier.Out in the open, she took Bobby and his son shopping through the city's major malls with my in-laws, posting photos of their "family time" on social media.Friends flooded the posts with likes and comments.[The three of you look perfect together—just like a real family.][Bobby's smile is so warm and gentle, unlike Johnny, who always seems so stern and unapproachable.]Cynthia replied: [Bobby is so filial to my parents.
