보고서
After helping my husband build his business from the ground up, I settled into life as a full-time housewife. When our daughter's tenth birthday approached, I planned to host a grand celebration for her. I booked a party that cost 2 thousand dollars per table. But when I swiped my card at the hotel, the staff gave me a strange look. "Mrs. Richmond, this card doesn't even have fifty dollars in it to charge." Flushed with embarrassment, I went home to confront my husband. He wore an apologetic expression. "Lately, the company's been competing for contracts. The new government official is insatiably greedy, and I've had to spend a lot under the table to smooth things over. Once the funds turn around, I'll make sure our daughter gets the grand birthday she deserves." I gave him a gentle, understanding smile—but as soon as I turned away, I began tallying our assets. Because that so-called "new government official" was none other than my father. And in his office, there hadn't been any bids or contracts at all. Now I intended to find out exactly where my husband had spent all our money.

Freddy opened his mouth, ready to argue, yet no words came."You think I set you up? Freddy, without me, you would have achieved nothing," I said.He collapsed onto the floor, as if all strength had drained from his body. After a long silence, he staggered to his feet and stumbled toward the door. His back was hunched, and in that moment, he seemed to have aged ten years.Just as he pulled the door open, a familiar figure rushed from around the corner, blocking his path.It was Lisa."So it's true… You two really made up!"Her hair was disheveled, her bloodshot eyes wild. She looked nothing like the alluring woman she once was. The sight of Freddy emerging from my home shattered what remained of her composure."Freddy! Then what am I? What about our son? I've lost everything, and you still come crawling back to that whore?"Already agitated, Freddy shoved her hand away in frustration."Enough! Who I'm with is none of your business. You chose to be with me, so you have no one t

"Fine. The family estate can be yours, but the company stays with me. That business is my life's work. I can't give it up. I'll buy the shares in your hands at market price."I gave him a long, meaningful look."Alright. As long as you recover every cent you squandered on Lisa and her son, I won't touch your company."Freddy agreed without hesitation and moved swiftly. The very next day, he had his lawyer file suit against Lisa, demanding the return of all property and money he had gifted her over the years.In court, Lisa wept pitifully, claiming the funds were voluntary support for her and the child. Over the years, Freddy had poured eight million into her and Eugene.The final judgment ordered her to repay 800,000 dollars. Not the full sum, but enough to leave her utterly ruined.On the day of sentencing, Lisa broke down, screaming hysterically in court, "Freddy, you heartless bastard! I gave you years of my life, bore you a son, and this is how you repay me?"Freddy looked a

My father's eyes softened with ache."Come here, Elise. Grandpa will take you to the hospital."After a few days of rest, Elise's complexion improved, though her spirit remained fragile. She often woke from nightmares, and I stayed by her side in the hospital throughout.Because Lisa had taken the lead in that disastrous scene, Freddy was quickly released on bail.Not long after, he appeared at the ward door carrying an elegant fruit basket and a bouquet of Elise's favorite pink baby's breath. Dressed in a plain shirt and slacks, with stubble shadowing his jaw and dark circles under his eyes, he looked worn and disheveled.He lingered at the threshold."Honey… Elise… I came to see you both."My daughter, curled against me with a book in her hands, lifted her gaze. For a moment, her eyes brightened, and she whispered, "Daddy…"I could see it clearly—though fear lingered, deep down, she still longed for her father's love.As if receiving a pardon, Freddy hurried in and held out

Yet Eugene still jutted out his chin, stubborn and defiant.Freddy, catching sight of his son's reckless arrogance and then of my father's face growing colder by the second, felt a sudden surge of fury ignite in his chest.He raised his hand without warning and delivered a sharp slap across Lisa's face."This is the result of your parenting! Look at the monster you've spoiled him into!"Lisa's head snapped to the side. Her hair fell loose, and an angry red handprint bloomed across her cheek. She covered her face in disbelief, her eyes instantly brimming with tears."Freddy! You hit me? How could you? Does Eugene's behavior have nothing to do with you?"Freddy, consumed with agitation, ignored her accusations and turned toward my father, desperate to explain."Dad, this woman seduced me. That boy was part of her scheme. You're a man—you know men make mistakes. But in my heart, I've only ever loved Valerie. I swear I'll cut ties with them completely."Hearing this, Lisa lost the
