Chapter 8

Author: Perfect Timing
That night, my lawyer sent me a scanned copy of a letter.

Following her instructions, I posted the letter on the short video platform where Neil had spread the false rumors. I also explicitly tagged his account and the platform's official account.

[Apologize and delete your video. Otherwise, I don't mind going to court to argue it out. The truth will never fear the light of day.]

Neil's previous pity story had caused such a big stir that the letter drew the attention of almost the entire inte

    The livestream of the trial caused a public uproar, and its topics remained at the top of the trending search list for three whole days. Netizens all spoke out in my defense, condemning Neil's selfishness and hypocrisy.My experience also resonated with many women in unhappy marriages.After the trial, I stopped paying attention to the public discussions and concentrated on my own life.It was another year before I heard any news about Neil and his family.At that time, I was already at a new company and had been promoted to department head for my competence. My salary had doubled, and my life was fulfilling and comfortable.By chance, I came into contact with a former colleague of Neil's because of work.During the casual chat, she accidentally mentioned Neil's current situation. She said the incident's impact was too great, and the company quickly fired Neil to maintain its corporate image.Later, during the company's internal investigation, it was also discovered that Sonia h

    After obtaining permission, I took out a small USB drive and handed it to the lawyer.The lawyer connected it to the court's electronic evidence display system.A video began to play on the big screen. It was when Neil proposed to me seven years ago.Upon seeing the video, Neil suddenly turned ghastly pale.He seemed to finally remember. He remembered the man he used to be, someone resolute and willing to give up everything to gain my trust.The video showed him assuring me that he would give me a happy home and promising the camera that he would love me forever.His eyes were filled with sincerity and love then, a stark and ironic contrast to the man in court now, whose eyes were evasive and whose words were weak.The livestream chat exploded instantly. Almost all of them were curses directed at Neil and support for me.Finally, I stood up. Although my eyes were red, my tone was extremely firm and calm. "The former Neil made me think that love could last forever, so I was will

    I used my phone to take clear photos from multiple angles of the scene at my doorstep as evidence to supplement the case and sent them to my lawyer immediately. At the same time, I asked her to apply to the court for an early hearing of the case.Due to the massive attention this incident received online and the wide-ranging social impact it caused, the court attached great importance to it. After reviewing the preliminary evidence we submitted, they not only agreed to the request for an early court hearing but also decided to livestream the trial, considering the public's right to know and the societal significance.Neil had been totally quiet since the day I published the lawyer's letter online. He did not post any videos nor contact me privately.It was not until the day of the trial that I saw the Young family again.Neil's hair was even more disheveled than in the video, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He looked tired and haggard. His grandmother and sister sat beside

    I froze, my mind going blank for a moment.These groundless accusations hit me like a sudden downpour.I frowned, suppressing my anger as I asked, "What nonsense are you talking about? Whose money did I swindle? How dare you slander me like this!"Seeing my rebuttal, the man seemed even more agitated. He took out his phone and shoved the screen right in front of me, his tone full of provocation. "Hilarious! Do you really think you can get away with such a despicable act these days? Your ex-husband exposed you! The whole internet knows about it!"A video was playing on the screen.In the video, Neil was wearing a crumpled shirt, his hair disheveled. He tearfully accused me in front of the camera. "Hello, everyone. I have no choice but to come forward in this way... My ex-wife, Ellie Montana, took advantage of my trust in her and a divorce agreement I knew nothing about to cheat me out of all my savings. It even included the money for my grandma's medical care!"His eyes were red a

    That night, Liam and Lily prepared a sumptuous welcome dinner. All the dishes were my favorites.I sprawled on their soft couch without a care, waiting to dig in. Then, my phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number with a different city code.I vaguely guessed who it was and hesitated for a moment, but I still pressed the answer button.As expected, Neil's furious voice came from the other end of the line. "Ellie! Are you out of your mind? How could you find someone to scold my grandma? Did you know that she got so angry that her blood pressure rose?"I could not be bothered to argue with him anymore. I just indifferently hummed in reply. My attitude seemed to infuriate him even more as his voice rose. "And when did we even agree to the divorce? You’re just trying to make me give in. You can forget it! I haven't even signed the divorce agreement. Do you really think putting on a show makes it real? Don't act like you've got any authority! I'm telling you. Come over right now and apolo
