Chapter 10

Penulis: Sweetie Moore
Still, Robert tried to argue. "Mel, the divorce agreement was just for show. It doesn't count."

I scoffed. "Whether it counts or not isn't up to you. Legally speaking, it absolutely counts. We're over. Besides, you registered your marriage with Ellie the same day we split, and now you're trying to play the devoted husband? Don't you think that's pathetic?"

Robert choked back a sob. When he spoke again, his voice was raw and broken. "Mel, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry! I finally realized that you

  • He Lied About Bankruptcy, I Make It Real   Chapter 12

    The video showed exactly how Robert had cornered and threatened me, proving that the entire stabbing incident was a self-inflicted hoax and I had nothing to do with it.The moment the clip ended, public opinion flipped on a dime. The neighbors who had just been backing him up instantly turned on him."So you were a cheating scumbag all along? You were unfaithful first, and after being dumped, you kept harassing your ex-wife. When she refused to get back together, you started defaming her? How can someone be so heartless!""Disgusting piece of trash. You got exactly what you deserved!"Robert's face morphed into a horrific shade of red.While he was still paralyzed with shock, I turned to the police officers to make my complaint. "Officers, I want to press charges against Robert for false accusations and defamation. On top of that, I'm also suing him for outstanding debts. Here is the court summons."I handed the legal paperwork right to the officers, backing up every word.In th

    Noticing my absolute resolve, Robert gritted his teeth and sent the payment. A flash of pure malice darted through his eyes as he muttered under his breath, "You forced my hand, Melanie."A sudden wave of unease washed over me, and I wanted nothing more than to get out of this place immediately.But before I could even reach the door, Robert grabbed a knife from the counter and slashed it violently across his forearm.In an instant, flesh tore open, and blood began pouring down his arm.Before I could even process what he was doing, he bolted out the front door while screaming, "Help! She's trying to kill me!"His desperate cries immediately brought the neighbors crowding into the hallway, throwing bewildered glances our way.A well-meaning neighbor called out, "Robert, what happened?"Robert instantly squeezed out a couple of tears, spinning a wild web of lies on the spot. "It's my ex-wife! She has mental issues. She's always paranoid, constantly accusing me of cheating on her

When he spoke again, his voice was raw and broken. "Mel, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry! I finally realized that you were the only one who truly cared about me. Let's remarry, please?"I saw right through him. "You mean I was the easiest to fool, right? The only reason you're crawling back is that Ellie dumped you, and you need me to clean up your mess again. But sorry, I'm not in the business of recycling trash."With that, I hung up, blocked his number, and deleted his contact.I figured that would finally make him back off, but he just wouldn't give up.A few days later, Robert contacted me from a diff

    "Melanie, why do you have to blow this out of proportion? What will you gain from this?" Robert hissed. "Don't forget, you're in charge of the project. If the company goes down, you go down with it."I responded with a detached smile, saying, "Did you forget, Robert? You had me hand all my accounts over to Ellie yesterday. The only one going down with you now is her. Not me."Realizing he had lost the argument, Robert grabbed Ellie and retreated into the building.The moment they stepped inside, the shareholders swarmed Robert, tearing into him without mercy."Look at the disaster you've caused, Robert Schmidt!""We never should have made you CEO. What a massive mistake!""Our investment is completely down the drain, and you're going to take full responsibility for this!"Once the shareholders left, Robert unleashed his fury straight onto Ellie. He raised his hand and delivered a sharp backhand across her face. "This is all your fault! Who told you to go bragging in front of Mel

    It looked like Robert wouldn't admit defeat until he was staring into his own grave.Fine. Since he didn't care about his dignity, I had no reason to spare it.I spoke coldly. "The company was never bankrupt. You faked it just to divorce me and give Ellie a legitimate status."At that, Robert's face turned visibly pale, and he stared at me in sheer disbelief. "H-How do you…"Sensing a massive scandal, the reporters immediately started snapping photos furiously.My coworkers crowded around the entrance to watch the spectacle, their faces a mix of shock and confusion as whispers broke out."Holy crap! Who would've thought Melanie, the one Mr. Schmidt always targeted, was actually his wife?""Right? I thought Mr. Schmidt and Ms. Gordon were the couple here!""Wait, if that's true… doesn't that make Ms. Gordon a homewrecker?"Hearing the gossip, Ellie flushed with humiliation and shot me a venomous look.Then, right on cue, her eyes welled up with tears, and she put on a helpless

    Ellie looked from Zayn to me and back again, finally arriving at a wild conclusion. "Robert, I bet Melanie has bought off Mr. Eaton. That's the only reason he's taking her side!"Upon hearing that, Robert shot Zayne a murderous glare.Finding his integrity suddenly called into question, Zayne lost his temper too. "Mr. Schmidt, Ms. Gordon, you're not only questioning my professional competence. You're also insulting my character!"But in Ellie's eyes, his defensiveness was just a sign of guilt. Emboldened, she pressed further, "If she didn't buy you off, why are you defending her? Oh, I get it! What Melanie showed you just now was the receipt for your bribe, wasn't it?"Zayne's face turned beet red with rage. He had intended to spare Robert and Schmidt Corp any embarrassment, but now he marched right up to the cameras."I'm sorry to disappoint you," he said coldly. "But what Ms. Reid showed me wasn't a receipt. It was a confirmation screenshot of her approved patent registration.
