LOGINWhile I'm waiting for my wife, Anna Fulton, I happen to come across a popular post on social media that's posted by someone who lives in the same city as I do. "What should I do if my husband clings to me too much?" Among the comments that make fun of the original poster for flaunting her happy marriage on the Internet, the lengthy comment left by a masculine ID attracts my attention. "You gotta pretend to be ditzy and dumb. My childhood friend was forced to marry the man she doesn't love, so I suggested to her that she should pretend to be a directionally-challenged idiot. She kept up that facade for five years so far. "After that, her mother-in-law kept urging her to give birth to a baby. So, she secretly coated the stairs with grease, leading to her husband falling down the stairs. When she drove him to the hospital, she pretended to lose her way and drove a few laps around the suburban area. In the end, her husband could never get his manhood up ever again because the treatment got delayed. "Her mother-in-law thought it was an accident. She was afraid that my childhood friend might abandon her husband, so she bought her a house and a car. You have no idea how much that mother-in-law sucked up to her! "Today is her husband's professor selection day. She even suggested to him that she'd drive him to the campus. But the truth is, she plans on pretending to lose her way in the traffic just to drag the time out so that I can replace him in the selection. "Once her husband fails the selection, she'll use the opportunity to convince him to resign from his job. He's already a loser, to begin with. Once he loses his job, she'll have a valid reason to divorce him once and for all." The familiar experience makes my heart skip a beat. Before I can ruminate about the details, I hear Anna's guilt-ridden voice drifting into my ear. "I think I'm lost, Claude. Surely you can make it to the selection on time, right?"
View MoreJosh completely lost it and lunged at Anna without a second thought.Just two hours ago, they were all over each other. Yet now, they were brawling right in front of the police, each desperate to shift the blame.When I came to, my parents were both at my bedside. The moment Mom saw me open my eyes, she excitedly grabbed my hand."Claude, you're finally awake. Are you feeling any better? Is there anywhere that still hurts?"Instead of answering, I just pulled my hand back.Mom froze for a moment, then her eyes reddened."You blame your father and me, don't you? But we had no choice! Anna threatened us. If we didn't cooperate, your brother would never find a job."And at the time, your father and I really thought you and Anna were just having a marital dispute. We never imagined she'd treat you like that."Mom was crying as she spoke. Her expression and tone felt completely genuine, so I knew she was probably telling the truth.But I couldn't get my father's words from that day
I then proceeded to show everyone the phone call records with Mr. Tanner and the chat logs Josh had sent me.When I caught a glimpse of Anna's pale face, a mocking laugh escaped my lips."Anna, did you really think formatting my phone would get rid of the evidence? I uploaded everything to the cloud long ago, so that when we divorce, you'd walk away with nothing."Next, I presented evidence of Anna and Josh's affair.There were screenshots of their explicit chats, as well as provocative text messages Josh had sent me just to show off, along with their intimate photos and videos.The content was so graphic that it made the more conservative elderly scholars in the audience openly decry it as shameless and immoral.Josh roared and tried to rush forward to stop me, but the police had already restrained him.He could only stand there, impotent with rage. "It's all fake! That bastard Claude is slandering me! Anna, quick—say something!"It was unclear whether Anna had simply resigned
"Don't worry, Professor Lowry. We all believe in you."Josh's supporters cheered him on.But Anna and Josh's faces had turned extremely grim. But before they could come up with a way to get rid of me, the police had already arrived.Because this incident had already caused a huge uproar online, many netizens hoped that the entire investigation process would be made public.Therefore, after obtaining approval from their superiors, the police decided to livestream the entire interrogation right in the lecture hall.The lead police officer turned to me and asked seriously, "Mr. Huffman, you claim to be the original author of the thesis. Do you have any evidence to support your statement?"I nodded. "I do. But before presenting it, I have one request. Just now, both Anna and Mr. Tanner alleged that I suffer from severe delusional disorder. So, to prevent anyone from using that against me later, I request a professional psychiatric evaluation."As my words fell, Anna's eyes sharpened
As Josh's words fell, I burst out laughing.Josh suddenly had a bad feeling about this."What are you laughing at?""Nothing. Aren't you going to call the police? Let me help you."I borrowed a phone from a student in the audience and pressed "911" in front of everyone.Anna immediately rushed toward me, trying to snatch the phone from my hand."Claude, that's enough! You may not care about making a scene, but I do!"I dodged her swiftly. But she became even more furious and raised her hand to slap me across the face.I smirked and asked, "Anna, are you sure you want to hit me when there are so many people watching and cameras recording?"My reminder made her instantly realize that today's opening ceremony was being livestreamed.If she so much as laid a finger on me, it wouldn't matter whether I could prove my claims, because the public blowback would be inevitable. That might, in turn, affect the company's stock price.Thinking this, she took a few deep breaths and softene
