I shot an icy look at Clarence and hissed, "Well, you don't look like someone who can knock someone up."

The smile on his face disappeared in an instant. In the next second, he poured his red wine all over himself and let out a surprised yelp.

"I know that you hate me, Zack. You can punish me however you like, but at the end of the day, I'm still the father of the baby in Grace's belly. She won't be able to have a peaceful pregnancy if you keep acting out like this."

    I chuckled as I pulled out the divorce certificate from my bag and tossed it on the ground."I'm not your husband anymore. We're divorced now!" I shouted."I can't believe you were actually serious about getting a divorce," Grace exclaimed. "Fine. So what if we're divorced? We were together for so many years. I'm sure that you don't want the father of my child to be a criminal."I laughed even louder upon hearing her words. "Still protecting him even now, huh? The child growing within you doesn't belong to him, you fool! I conducted an investigation on him. He has extremely low sperm motility." It was clear that Grace still didn't believe me. "You're just jealous because I've been indulging him. That's why you're spreading these rumors! But you're also the one who pushed me into another man's bed, so why are you causing a fuss now?"I scoffed and said, "I'll reveal the truth to you today, Grace. The one who's been setting you up with those men is your own father. He was worried t

She won't be able to have a peaceful pregnancy if you keep acting out like this."Just then, an intimidating voice boomed from behind me, "You're just a useless man who can't even get your wife pregnant. I won't forgive you if anything happens to Grace's baby."The newcomer was none other than Grace's father, George. A tall and beautiful woman was hanging on his arm, looking like she wasn't even in her 30s.The corners of my lips curled up into a smile. I reached out and grabbed a wine glass before splashing it in Clarence's face. "I didn't splash wine on him earlier, but I just did."Clarence let

    We shared all our meals back then, but I didn't feel as if we were suffering because our lives were filled with hope and love.I had to give credit where it was due—Grace had a talent for business.It didn't take long for her to make connections with people with spare money on their hands and convince them to start a company with her.To ensure that she would have absolute authority, I sold the family heirloom that Mom left me and used all the money I had to help her become the biggest shareholder.Looking back on the past, I realized that the wonderful love that I shared with Grace had just been a massive illusion.

    "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Grace agreed to leave the Snow family's fortune to me and our child. The only thing that you'll get is the title of the Snow family's son-in-law!" Clarence exclaimed, bursting into laughter.I had accidentally put the phone on speaker mode when I answered the call earlier, which allowed Ashley to hear every word that he said.Rage burned in Ashley's eyes as she slammed her fist against the steering wheel.I remained calm and asked, "Were you responsible for what happened to Ruth?""So what if I am? Do you have proof? Do you think that I'll be scared of you? No one's going to be willing to conduct an investigation for a househusband like you who doesn't have any connections."On top of that, my child and I are extremely important to the Snow family now. Do you think they'll blame me for being nosy or blame you for causing a fuss?"I scoffed and said, "I'm sure that you don't want to just be Grace's kept lover for the rest of your life, Clarence. As long

    Unfortunately, the stack of documents only consisted of organ transplant consent forms.All the recipients were wealthy people. I had also seen some of the donors' names online because they had been in the news for being lured to Corombina.It was obvious what had happened, but there wasn't enough conclusive evidence to prove that Grace had been responsible for the illegal organ trading.I felt dazed when I left the police station.The rain had stopped, but my heart still felt incredibly hollow.My phone was buzzing constantly. I didn't have to look at the screen to know that Grace was calling me.After being married to her for the last decade, I didn't have any other friends except for the wealthy wives who I had befriended for the sake of her business.I walked along the road for the next ten minutes before the screeching sounds of brakes cut through the air. A few seconds later, a black Jeep stopped next to me.A cheerful voice resounded from within the Jeep as a woman wound

    A wealthy woman, whom I had befriended for the sake of Grace's business, was calling me. She sent an invitation to a charity auction to me and said, "My husband's not in the country. Why don't you attend this auction with me?"At first, I planned to reject her invitation. However, my heart skipped a beat when I laid eyes on one of the items that was being auctioned.It was an emerald bracelet—the family heirloom that I had pawned to fund Grace's business. I had sold it for 1.2 million dollars at that time.I wanted to get the bracelet back after Grace's business started taking off, but someone else had already bought it.I clenched my fists. I had about 10 to 20 million dollars in the bank account where Grace transferred my allowance. I was determined to reclaim the bracelet no matter the cost.…I hadn't expected to see Grace and Clarence at the auction."I'll be moving into the villa tonight, Zack," Clarence said.
