Chapter 7

Author: July Moon
Hearing Rob's arrogant confidence, I was shaking with rage.

What made him so sure that after everything that had happened, I would still choose to stay with him?

Did he really think his charm was so irresistible that I'd lost all my senses?

I couldn't hold back any longer. I threw open the curtain.

"Rob Balmer. I'm saying it to your face right now. I want a divorce."

At the sound of my weak, hoarse voice, Rob spun around. Guilt flickered across his eyes.

"Sherry, I was so scared. How are y

  • He Moved His Assistant Home   Chapter 10

    Just as I started taking over the family business, Lily gave birth to a baby boy.My mother got me an invitation to the baby shower."You've been holding back all this time. Don't you want to go see?"She already knew I had everything ready.Just the thought of Rob pulling me aside again, begging me to remarry him and play stepmother to his bastard child, made me sick to my stomach.But I didn't want to miss the show. So I went.When Rob saw me walk in, he was overjoyed.His company had been tanking for months — in less than half a year, it was already on the verge of bankruptcy.The Balmer family, who once ruled this city, was now no better than a drowned rat.Lily had been running him ragged too — Rob looked haggard, thinner than I'd ever seen him."Sherry, I knew you still had feelings for me! Don't worry — I'll announce to everyone right away that you're the mother of this child."I raised my hand to stop him."Don't. I don't have that kind of luck."Rob rushed to say,

    At the same time, they never forgot about me — their daughter-in-law. They kept trying to mediate and patch things up between me and Rob.I sneered at the Balmers' two-faced maneuvering and their desperate attempts to ingratiate themselves.What exactly did a faithless man like that have that was worth fighting over?With the care of the family hospital, my body recovered quickly after the miscarriage.Meanwhile, my family launched an all-out war against the Balmers.The Balmers had money but no connections — they'd relied entirely on the Knights to open doors for them.Now that my mother had deliberately leaked news of my divorce from Rob, the tide turned overnight.First, the Balmer company lost its bids. Then their cash flow started drying up.Rob was run ragged trying to keep things afloat — so busy he didn't even have time to visit Lily, who was still throwing tantrums in the hospital.It was only then that Rob realized: without the Knights, he was nothing.The day I was

    "I don't believe it! You love me — I'm not some substitute for anyone!"Rob, I'm already carrying your child. Are you going to abandon us?"The disgust on Rob's face suddenly froze. His gaze instinctively dropped to Lily's belly.The Balmers froze too.Rob's grandmother had been clutching Lily's hair, but at those words, she stopped and blurted out, "You're really pregnant? Is it Rob's child?"Rob's mother's eyes flickered. She cleared her throat."Sherry, look... regardless of everything, she's pregnant now. The baby is innocent. Why don't we wait until she gives birth, and then deal with her?"With that, she shot Rob a meaningful look.After a long pause, Rob gulped and said quietly, "Sherry, let me take Lily for an ultrasound first."Knowing he was in the wrong, he couldn't even look me in the eye.I laughed bitterly to myself. I saw right through him.He didn't love me. He chose his heir over me.I said coldly, "Why not sign the divorce papers before you go? That way, y

Guilt flickered across his eyes."Sherry, I was so scared. How are you feeling now? Do your wounds still hurt?"After everything I'd been through, I could see clearly now. His concern and worry might have been real in that moment — but more than that, he was terrified of losing my family's backing.His false affection couldn't fool me anymore.He reached out tenderly to check my wounds. I yanked my hand away and said flatly, "Mom. Get this man out of here. I never want to see him again."Rob flinched. He grabbed my hand forcefully and lowered his voice."Sh

    "Sherry, it really is you!"The moment our eyes met, my mother had no doubt left.She shoved Lily aside and rushed straight to me.She pushed back my tangled hair — and there, exposed to her view, were the bite marks from those savage dogs, and the raised welts from all those slaps.She looked at the horrific injuries covering my body, and her eyes filled with pain and fury."Rob. Explain to me. Right now. Why is my precious daughter beaten to a pulp like this?""Mom, she's just a f—"Rob walked over, ready to explain — but then his eyes landed on my face. His expression shifted completely."Sherry?! It's you!"The shock and pain in his eyes, as far as I was concerned, was nothing but an act.A sharp, searing pain tore through my abdomen. I grabbed my mother's hand with the last of my strength and said the most important thing before I blacked out."Mom. I want a divorce from Rob."When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in my family's private hospital.Through the curtai

    That resounding slap stunned everyone.After a brief silence, I heard someone gulp nervously."Who is this person? She actually dared to hit Mr. Balmer!"Someone in the know whispered, "This is the Knight family from Greth City! The Knights usually keep a low profile, but in reality, they're the old-money aristocrats of this city!""The Balmers are just a bunch of nouveaux riche! Without the Knights' backing, that Balmer guy would be nothing!"Rob heard it too. His face turned ugly.In normal times, anyone who dared humiliate him wouldn't live to see the next day.But now, standing before my mother, Elaine Knight, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.A flicker of suppressed rage crossed his face. He took a deep breath and turned to my mother."Mom, what's going on? Isn't Sherry abroad resting? I went to see her just last month. Did something happen to her?"By the end, Rob's face had gone pale, and his voice carried a note of genuine anxiety."What happened to Sherry?
