ログインWhen I'm paying the pension for my jobless wife, Lilith Ingram, I accidentally find out that she's had a job this whole time. She's paid a salary of two thousand dollars, which is wired into her personal bank account. Every month, the money will be transferred elsewhere, leaving her without a single cent. I've never seen the money before. Back when our daughter, Maisy Ingram, was severely ill, we were 200 dollars short to pay for her hospital bills. I was so poor that I had to sell my blood and beg everyone around me just to get them to lend me money. But during that time, Lilith never thought of sharing the burden with me. She merely comforted me with empty words before transferring two thousand dollars to her first love, Hayden Grant, the next day. Our marriage of 30 years is reduced to nothing but a laughingstock. I place the divorce agreement that I've printed out in front of Lilith. It's a silent confrontation between us. "Must you really resort to this method?" Lilith snaps impatiently. "It's just two thousand dollars! You have an annual salary of 200 thousand dollars! Why care so much about chum change?" Even Maisy takes her side by calling me a petty, stingy geezer. "Everyone has an unattainable first love when they're still young! You should be grateful that Hayden has been holding back his urges without crossing the line for so many years!" I feel as though I got struck by lightning at that moment. It's then that I belatedly realize I'm the only outsider in this family. "Getting a divorce is fine by me. Hayden's getting on with the years. I just want to take care of him and send him off when his time eventually arrives." Maisy adapts a righteous tone. "As compensation for me, I get the house, the car, and the savings. You're leaving this marriage without a single cent under your name."
もっと見る90% of the marital assets were awarded to me, and Lilith was ordered to return and compensate a total of nearly 13 million dollars.Even Hayden was implicated. Reuben sent a lawyer's letter to the school where Hayden worked, reporting his misconduct. Hayden lost his job, and his reputation was ruined."Sean, please, have mercy on me."When I was leaving, Lilith clung to my leg and begged, and Maisy kneeled alongside her."Dad, I can't have a mother who's divorced. Please, give her one more chance."But I had already been lenient too many times.I ignored them, packed my things, and left without looking back.The sun shone brightly, and the breeze was gentle.With the arrival of early spring, I was reborn.…Since the trial, I never saw Lilith again.She paid a huge sum in compensation, fell into debt, and spent her days blaming fate and crying.Maisy soon couldn't tolerate her anymore. She forced Lilith to hand over all the transferred assets immediately.They had a huge f
Lilith's face turned ashen. She bit her lip as she sobbed. "It's my fault. I wasn't in my right mind. But I can't undo the past. Hayden is seriously ill. He broke his leg for me. It left him with chronic pain. If I don't help him now, he won't survive!'"I felt the absurdity hit me hard. "Chronic pain? Have you ever thought about how a seriously ill man manages to study abroad in a foreign country?"I slapped screenshots of Hayden's social media posts right in front of Lilith."You've never seen these, have you? Hayden returned to Valoria a long time ago. Thanks to you, he bought four apartments, married three times, has a 15-year-old kid, and has multiple illegitimate children."Last month, he was golfing in Telysia. This month, he's sightseeing at Vintara Bay. He's living a good life. He told you he's returning to Valoria because he's divorced again. He's old, and it's hard to find another woman, so he picked you."Lilith looked like she'd been struck by lightning. Her pupils di
Lilith believed she could juggle two relationships and was certain I would cave in and tolerate her emotional affair.But I flipped the table and slammed down the divorce papers."It doesn't matter anymore," I said. "Divorce is final. I'm setting Lilith free. She can chase her love as much as she wants."Paul chuckled with a hint of pity in his eyes. "True feelings are rare. She'll regret it sooner or later."…Life started to get better.While staying at Paul's place, I felt a freedom I hadn't known in years.He showed me how to work out and get in shape, and took me to concerts and art exhibits. Things that once felt so out of reach now seemed simple.I started taking care of myself—everything from basic haircuts and clothes to skincare and health routines.I was slow at first, but the changes came fast.Looking in the mirror, I barely recognized myself. In just a month, I looked ten years younger. I was fit, vibrant, and alive.I even signed up for horseback riding lesson
I sneered coldly. "Since you've accepted a new father, just cut ties with me. I don't expect you to care for me or support me in my later years. And I won't give you a dime for your wedding. We're done. Whether you live or die, it's none of my business."Maisy froze, fire blazing in her eyes, but she didn't dare say a word.I lifted my severed fingers and looked at her with nothing but pity."You want to call the cops on me for domestic violence? Go ahead. Make sure you tell them exactly why these two fingers are missing."Maisy's arrogant bravado vanished instantly.I glanced down at Lilith, who was slumped on the floor, and scoffed inwardly. "Hayden gets more than two thousand dollars a month, right?"I tossed down a stamped asset document and smiled bitterly."Two years ago, you bought a riverside apartment downtown in full cash, using the excuse that Maisy needed a house to get married. Six months ago, the property was transferred to your parents, but after some twists and t
