Chapter 10

Author: Go Let's Go
I cleared the house of all of Johnny's belongings.

The divorce was inevitable, with solid evidence of his adultery, as well as witnesses.

Johnny had wanted to act as if nothing had happened and return to work, but the gossip and targeted treatment from his colleagues wore him down. After one week, he submitted his resignation.

As for the divorce settlement, it was straightforward. All the major assets were my personal property from before the marriage and had nothing to do with Johnny.

Karen couldn't accept that Johnny had lost everything in the blink of an eye. She once came to my company and tried to win me back. She looked absolutely haggard.

However, before she could get close to me, the security dragged her away.

A month later, I arrived early in the morning at the courthouse and waited for Johnny. I spotted him approaching from afar. He looked gaunt and unkempt, with stubble growing on his face.

He had no house, no transportation, and no job. I didn't care how he had been

    Johnny and Lily stood frozen, like they couldn't comprehend what was happening."What have you done to them? Why is Johnny so badly injured? I'm going to sue you!" Karen cried out in distress as she examined Johnny's bruised face."Perfect. I'll sue Johnny for adultery and demand a divorce. There'll be no financial settlement for him."Karen argued, "What the hell do you mean? Have you ever considered the reason behind all this? Why not reflect on yourself? It's your fault you're barren. Otherwise, none of this would've happened!"I scoffed and tossed her a document. It was a physical examination report from the month before, and I had helpfully circled the key parts in red for her.Karen seemed confused but couldn't resist opening the report. Struggling to read the words, she sounded them out slowly, "Ultrasound suggests bilateral... varicocele..."Puzzled, she looked up at Johnny for an explanation.Johnny blinked slowly, his swollen eyes struggling to focus. He seemed just as

    I flipped on the room's light as soon as the words left my mouth.The sudden brightness made everyone squint uncomfortably. After a few seconds of silence, their eyes adjusted to the light, and all gazes focused on the bed.It wasn't Johnny waiting alone for his wife to return that they saw. Instead, two figures were on the bed—a man and a woman.Johnny and Lily scrambled to pull the sheets over themselves, but there was no hiding.Having been caught in the act, the two of them appeared as pale as a ghost.While Rosie gasped audibly, she didn't put down the camcorder. On the contrary, she even zoomed in and exclaimed, "Mr. Lane, Lily! What are you two doing?"All eyes turned to me.Covering my mouth, I put on a devastated look. "How… How could you do this while I wasn't home?"Johnny stammered, "No, it's not what it looks like..."He couldn't believe I was there. After all, I had just video-called him from a business trip that afternoon. It didn't make sense that I could abrup

    On the second day of my business trip, I packed my things and moved into Rosie's place.For the first few days, everything at home seemed calm. But that morning, as soon as I opened the hidden camera feed, I heard Karen trying to persuade Johnny."I'm only doing this for you, Johnny! This is just between you and me. No one else needs to know. You've been married for a year, and Annie still hasn't given you a child yet. She should've been kicked out ages ago!"On the other hand, Lily is young, innocent, and healthy. She could have several kids without a problem. Once she does, I'll take them back home to raise. Your life here won't be affected at all.""But Mom, aside from not having kids, Annie is great in every other way. I'm worried that if she finds out..." Johnny hesitated.Karen glared at him exasperatedly and chided, "A barren woman is useless! You're too soft-hearted and always so indecisive. Just listen to me and do as I say. I won't steer you wrong, okay?"When she notic

    The world didn't revolve around men, Lily."When you're my subordinate, you'll listen to what I say," I said with a cruel smile.Lily bit her lip hard, almost to the point of drawing blood.I thrived on seeing people hate me yet being powerless against me."Lily!" Johnny's anxious voice rang out from the door.It seemed Lily's display of innocence and vulnerability had hit the mark with him. Their budding connection over the past few days was progressing well, and the knight in shining armor had arrived right on cue.The moment Lily turned to face him, tears started rolling down her cheeks.I rolled my eyes and returned to my desk."Annie, Lily is trying her best. Can't you give her more time? Everyone starts as a beginner," Johnny said with mild reproach.I didn't bother sparing him a glance.After a moment of silence, he said, "Lily, wait outside. I need to talk to Annie."Lily glanced between us before wiping her tears as she left.Then, Johnny came up to me and gently w

    When I got home after a long day at work, I walked in to find Lily crying her heart out in Karen's arms. She was putting on quite the dramatic show.Karen's voice rose the moment she saw me."It's just a stupid shirt! Must you blow things out of proportion, Annie? You've got a whole closet full of clothes you don't even wear. Can't you just let Lily borrow one? Here's 50 dollars. Consider it payment for your old clothes!"So, Lily had run home to complain to Karen.I smirked. "Great idea. While we're at it, why don't you sell me your gold bracelet for 50 dollars too?"Karen's eyes widened as she instinctively clutched the bracelet. It was a gift from Johnny that she cherished. "That's not the same thing!""That shirt costs more than a hundred of your bracelets combined. Take whatever you like from my closet for Lily; I'll just deduct the costs directly from Johnny's account," I replied with a sarcastic smile.Karen's expression turned livid as she stomped her foot in frustration
