I Gave Her a Fortune, She Gave My Parents Lies Chapter 9
After I wrapped up the mess, I sold the apartment in the city that was filled with nothing but lies and betrayal. I took a hit on the renovation costs, but I didn't care.I used the money to buy a spacious place in a new development closer to my parents. The neighborhood was nice with clean air, and most importantly, it was near home.At work, getting rid of the dead weight of that marriage freed me up completely. I volunteered for the company's most challenging project.Six months later, the project finished successfully, and my excellent performance earned me a promotion to regional director. My salary doubled.However, instead of desperately saving money to impress someone, I learned to spend it on myself and my parents.Six months after that, I met Wren Calder on a hiking trip organized by friends. She was an elementary school teacher with a gentle, quiet demeanor. When she smiled, her whole face lit up.She didn't care that I was divorced or whether I drove a luxury car or w

The chaos ended, but I wasn't about to give them any breathing room. I called the police immediately. They arrived quickly.Faced with all the evidence I had collected, Zoe and Caden couldn't even attempt to lie their way out. The officers loaded them straight into the patrol car.When I saw the terror and helplessness in Zoe's eyes as the handcuffs clicked shut, all I felt was that she deserved it. She should have known this day would come when she spent my hard-earned money on another man.During the divorce proceedings that followed, I hired the best property litigation attorney in the business. The day the verdict came down was deeply satisfying.The court found that Zoe had committed serious marital misconduct. Not only did they grant the divorce, but they also ruled that Zoe would leave with nothing.Aside from the clothes on her back, she had no claim to the house, the car, or any of our savings. It got even better. The court also granted my restitution claim. All the mon

Zoe's shameless speech left every relative in the room stunned into silence. The fact that she could justify cheating on her husband with such conviction was almost impressive.I watched her little performance and felt nothing but contempt. "But Zoe, your so-called true love thinks you're worthless."I pulled out my phone and opened an audio file. I had recorded their conversation in the stairwell yesterday, but that wasn't what I planned to play.What I had was something even better. I had paid someone to dig through Caden's text thread with his friends and found a recording that would blow everything wide open. It captured Caden bragging to his friends at a bar after he'd had too much to drink.I turned the volume all the way up. Through the noisy background music, Caden's sleazy, smug voice came through crystal clear."Hey, Caden, how's that sugar mama of yours doing these days?""Man, don't even get me started! She's a complete idiot!" His voice dripped with contempt and mock

I pulled out one of the opened counterfeit bottles from the case and slammed it onto the table."You've been drinking this for years. Tastes good, doesn't it?"George froze. "What are you talking about? Zoe bought this for us.""Bought it for you?"I didn't bother answering. Instead, I grabbed an empty glass from the table, twisted off the cap, and poured a drink for every relative in the room."Come on, everyone, try some."This is the premium liquor Zoe got for my parents. It's three grand a bottle. You don't get to taste this every day."The relatives exchanged confused glances. A few of the drinkers in the family couldn't resist picking up their glasses.Zoe's uncle went first. He raised his glass and took a sip. A second later, he spat it out in a spray that hit his wife full in the face."What the hell is this?" He wiped his mouth. His eyes were bulging. "This isn't liquor! It's just water! It doesn't taste like anything!"The other relatives who had tasted it grimaced

Zoe's lips trembled, but no sound came out."Stop talking nonsense!"Caden saw that I had rattled her and reached out to shove me. He started cursing at me. "Get out! Didn't you hear me? Zoe doesn't want to see you!"You broke loser, you can't even afford holiday gifts, and you have the nerve to cause a scene here?"The moment his hand touched my collar, I moved.The past few years of managing construction sites had toughened me up. I worked in an office, but I dealt with rough contractors every day. I was definitely much stronger than this pampered pretty boy. He was no match for me.I caught his wrist, twisted it down, and applied pressure. Caden let out a scream like a trapped pig. His face turned purple, and sweat dripped down his forehead."It hurts! Let go! Let go!"I stared at him coldly while tightening my grip. "Broke loser? Caden, open your damn eyes and take a good look."My other hand yanked at his tie. "That Armani suit you're wearing? 1,800 bucks."Those sneaker

I left my in-laws' depressing neighborhood and checked into a cheap hotel. I didn't rush to confront anyone or call a lawyer.I worked in project management, so I understood one fundamental truth. If I wanted a building to collapse completely, I had to identify the load-bearing walls first and then demolish them with precision.For Zoe and Caden, those walls were their precious reputations.I logged into every bank account and pulled up three years of transaction records. Each transfer felt like a knife sliding between my ribs.Every year without fail, Zoe had moved a hundred thousand dollars into another account. The recipient was Caden's sister, who ran a nail salon.Then, I checked my retirement fund account. I rarely monitored it because I assumed the balance kept growing steadily. When I looked at the records, I found a withdrawal of 200 thousand dollars from six months ago.The stated reason was a down payment for a house purchase. However, I had never bought a house.I fo
