Chapter 1

I couldn't believe that my wife, Shannon West, would say such words.

We had been married for 10 years. I performed as much as I could to earn money for her and our family, but all she thought was that I wasn't making enough.

The son of an affluent family, Rick Jones, walked forward and wrapped his arm around her shoulders as he looked at me disdainfully. "You heard what your wife said, useless piece of trash! If I were you, I'd just commit suicide. There's no way that I'd have the guts to come on the show."

After hearing those words, Shannon nodded in agreement whilst being in Rick's arms.

I looked at Shannon and felt that she was no longer the person I knew.

She used to be willing to live in a rented house with me and to thank her for supporting me, I would give her all the money that I earned.

Over the past couple of years, whenever I needed money, I would have to ask her, but she would always scold me for doing so.

"Why do you need money again? You don't earn much and you still have to spend so much money? How are we going to improve our lives? You can forget about getting any money from me. If you need money then go earn some yourself!"

I thought that she was doing this to control our spending, so I would never lose my temper. Instead, I would work even harder to earn money.

I bought her a house in Imperium and a slick sports car, and I even hired two servants to help her out with the house chores.

I thought we would live happily ever after, but I didn't expect her to tell me to go on a divorce variety show a month ago.

She said it was for me to gain publicity, so I went along.

What I didn't expect was that she had turned completely into a different person once on the show.

She immediately curry favored Rick, the son of an affluent family, as soon as she went on the show. She would even go to his room whilst wearing seductive clothes as well.

I told her that I was upset about her doing so, but she said that I was making a fuss. "Don't you know how to make the show more interesting? No wonder you're still not a famous celebrity after so many years. You're just an inconsiderate fool!"

But today, I accidentally walked into a room and saw the two of them hugging and kissing.

When they saw me, they stopped pretending.

I was about to retort, but that was when the director of the variety show said, "Get ready to start the shoot."

The next second, Shannon wrapped her arms around mine and leaned her head on my shoulder with a sweet smile.

She then said passionately in front of the camera, "I really love my husband. No one in the world would love him more than me."

The disdainful look she just had whilst scolding me had disappeared.

Rick played along and sighed. "I think they're not here to talk about their divorce. They look like they're here for a honeymoon."

I only felt disgusted. I furrowed my brows and pulled my arm out from Shannon's embrace.

What I didn't expect was that Shannon immediately looked like she was going to cry. She then said to the camera, "You see? My husband and I are like this at home as well. I gave him all my love, but he still seemed to ignore me. Sometimes, I get the feeling that he doesn't love me at all, so all I can do is try to please him the best I can."

I couldn't stand her anymore, so I stood up and pointed at her. "That's not what happened. You're the one who decided to be with Rick. Why put on an act now?"
