Chapter 6: Dreaming of Getting Alimony!

"Wait a moment!"

Bai Yue softly got up from Hamiltion Carpenter, her eyes innocent as she pleaded, "Sister Nanyin, I... I really don't want to disrupt your life with Han... I don't want my presence to affect your marriage, or to tarnish Han and the Lu family's reputation... Rest assured, once I feel a bit better, I'll leave the country, away from this heart-wrenching place..."

In the shadows where no one could see, Bai Yue raised an eyebrow, giving Nanyin a challenging look. But quickly, she returned to her helpless, vulnerable gaze, like a wounded, homeless deer.

Nanyin felt sickened by Bai Yue's manipulative words and expressions.

"There's no need for such trouble; I don't have the power to force you out of the country. You just need to make it clear to the Lu family that it wasn't me, Nanyin, who pushed you into the water..."

Bai Yue clung to Hamiltion Carpenter's arm, her expression panicked as she explained, "Han, Aunt Mei, Jinxin, it wasn't Sister Nanyin who pushed me into the water. It was me... I accidentally fell in... My child doesn't deserve to come into this world..."

As she spoke, Bai Yue broke down in tears, her voice weakening to a whisper. She then collapsed into Hamiltion Carpenter's arms, her shoulders trembling.

Inside, Bai Yue sneered. Nanyin, you wanted me to tell the truth? I did, but will the Lu family believe it?

"Yue sister, please stop crying. I have a confession letter here. I'll get Nanyin to sign it, and we'll kick her out of the Lu family right away. Then you can be my sister-in-law."

Amy Conrad pulled out the confession letter she had written in the car, grabbing Nanyin's hand. Nanyin's hand, stained with blood from her forehead, left a clear bloody fingerprint on the paper. She showed the letter to Bai Yue, boasting, "Here, little sister-in-law, this confession clearly states that Nanyin, out of jealousy, deliberately pushed you into the water causing you to miscarry. It also mentions that my brother had already asked for a divorce, but she refused because she wanted an exorbitant alimony. You're not some third party, but rather Nanyin is the one clinging to... resources..."

Aunt Mei put the signed confession letter in her handbag, snorting, "Hmph, if she thinks she can get alimony from our Lu family, she's dreaming! Son, when you get divorced, make sure Nanyin leaves with nothing. Once I post this evidence online, no one will dare speak ill of our Lu family!"

Thinking that marrying into the Lu family would turn a wild chicken into a phoenix, what a joke! Even if the Lu family has money, they won't let someone like Nanyin get away with it.

"Enough, all of you, be quiet!" Hamiltion Carpenter's face darkened, his brows furrowing as he called a halt to the farce. "Martin Luke, take them back!"

Martin Luke, who had been watching in disgust, immediately helped Nanyin off the ground and out of the room.

"Madam, let's tend to your wound first," Martin Luke said, noticing the blood still flowing from Nanyin's forehead. He grabbed a piece of gauze from the nurse's station and covered her wound.

"Thank you, but it's not necessary."

It was time for her to bear the consequences. Only by feeling the utmost pain could she truly see through Hamiltion Carpenter's coldness.

After returning to her apartment from the hospital, Nanyin fell ill for three days, with a high fever of 39.8 degrees. She didn't take any medicine, finding the dazed state somewhat comforting. At least she didn't have to get up to cook for herself and could sleep.

She slept for three straight days, as if making up for all the lost sleep over the past two years.

In their home, Nanyin insisted on not having a maid, stubbornly believing it should be a private space for just the two of them. During their two years of marriage, every piece of Hamiltion Carpenter's clothing was washed and ironed by her own hands. His clothes, even his underwear and socks, were neatly folded and placed in the drawers.

For three days, Hamiltion Carpenter never came back, not even a phone call. The thought of her husband being with another woman made Nanyin realize that her marriage to Hamiltion Carpenter was a complete joke. Her two years of youth and a kidney, all wasted, without earning even a shred of love or pity from him.

Rather than entangling each other, it was better to let go and be true to herself...

Nanyin shook her groggy head, leaning against the wall to make her way to the kitchen to boil water, planning to drink a cup of warm milk before heading to the Carpenter Corporation to discuss the divorce.

*Click*—the apartment door was pushed open, and Hamiltion Carpenter, who had been absent for three days, walked in, bringing with him a chill. Behind him followed five men, each with a distinct style.
