The police quickly came to handle the scene. Both Christine and I were taken to the police station for questioning.But in the end, we were released because we were not suspicious.On the evening of the same day, news of Rick's death exploded on the internet."He deserved it. He's paying for his actions now."A lot of netizens came and left comments on my account to congratulate me, but I replied to none of them.Soon after, my job that had been suspended by Rick returned to normal. I went back to my old days of attending all kinds of events.That was until one night when I came home and saw Shannon standing outside my house.She was a mess and she pounced towards me when she saw me as if I was her savior.I was startled and nearly failed to recognize her.The moment she pounced on me, I saw the burnt marks on her face. They were all left by cigarette ends. I guessed it was Rick's doing."James, you're finally back. Please forgive me for what I've done, alright? That bastard,
Rick pointed at the sports car next to me and said, "Let's solve this like men. Let's race. If you win, I'll give you double what you ask for. If you lose, then you can leave this city and never come back! Don't worry. I'll still give you the money though."I sneered. "What makes you think I'll agree to that?"I would definitely not play Rick's boring game in the middle of the night.What I didn't expect was that he reached out and pulled Christine over with one hand whilst lighting a cigarette with the other."You seem to care a lot about my wife. If you don't agree, then I'll extinguish this cigarette on her pretty face."Christine closed her eyes, her face was pale, but her body was trembling slightly."You bastard!"I gritted my teeth and agreed to the race in the end.Christine was an actress. Her face was very important to her. I couldn't let her face be ruined.Just when we got in our cars and were about to race, Rick suddenly said that he wanted Christine to be in his
She was probably forced into it by Rick. Shannon looked weaker than ever.When she saw me, she grabbed my hand. "James, this has nothing to do with James and his family. Please send a post to clarify things. It's all my fault."Seeing that I wasn't saying anything, Shannon continued, "I'll apologize to you. Please leave Rick out of this."I sneered. "Apologize? Get Rick to come and apologize to me in person."Since I showed no signs of forgiveness, Shannon finally stopped pretending. "That's enough, James! Do you think you've done nothing wrong? If it weren't for the fact that you can't give me what I want, I wouldn't have gone to find Rick. Therefore, aren't you the source of all the problems?"Her attempt of trying to pin the blame on me amused me. "Shannon, this is the first time I've seen someone so shameless. You want me to clarify things, right? Then sign this divorce agreement."With that, I took out a divorce agreement that I prepared in advance.Shannon was taken aback.
After Christine and I parted ways. I went home with the video and registered an account. I then sent a post saying that I would start a livestream in a couple of days.As expected, my new account soon received countless comments.Due to the huge amount of traffic, my account soon had over 200 thousand followers. Many of them were waiting for the live stream to come and curse me.Shannon heard about it and called to taunt me."James, have you lost it? Haven't you been cursed enough by the netizens? Now you want to start a live stream and be cursed on the live stream as well?"I sneered. "You can come and check my live stream out in three days' time as well. There'll be a surprise waiting for you.""Alright then. I'd like to see what you're planning on doing," said Shannon.Three days later, I had prepared everything and started the live stream on time.As expected, countless people came to my channel as soon as I began the livestream."How dare you start a live stream? I bet yo
Shannon didn't expect I would say such words. She was waiting for me to beg for her forgiveness. At that moment, her face became twisted."What did you say?"I looked at her with a cold smile. "Didn't you catch that? Then I'll say it one more time. I said you have no shame. You don't hide the fact that you're cheating on me and you deliberately guided the netizens to abuse me. But don't get cocky. People like you and Rick would pay for what you've done sooner or later. Remember to be careful on the roads."Rick immediately stood up and said in a gloomy voice, "James, you really are a fucking useless piece of shit. I've already given you a chance, but you chose to ignore it. Men!"With his order, a couple of bodyguards in black surrounded me.I knew I might be hurt, so I didn't really care. I came to gather evidence.A bodyguard punched me and knocked me to the ground. Through the gap between them, I looked at Christine and winked.Punches came at me like rain. Shannon looked dow
I first called Christine and after for a favor.I didn't know why, but I felt that Christine would help me. It was probably because the two of us were in the same situation.After contacting her, I called Shannon.When Shannon answered my call, she sounded very proud. "Have you finally admitted defeat? Your parents deserve to be hospitalized. They only have themselves to blame for having a useless son like you."I clenched my fists and said through gritted teeth, "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I'll give you the house, car, and all the music copyrights. Leave my family alone."I knew that the more humble I was, the more likely Shannon was going to bite the hook.As expected, when she heard what I said, she became even more arrogant and proud. "You should have done this earlier. Why were you acting all tough before? Come meet me at the Twilight tonight at eight o'clock."The Twilight was the name of a club. Shannon probably wouldn't be along. It was likely that Rick would be there
