My Reborn Husband Wanted a Divorce, So I Took His Money and Ran

“Darling, don’t worry. I’ll transfer the rest of my assets into your name tomorrow.”

I stood in the shadows and raised an eyebrow.

My hand instinctively drifted to my still-flat stomach. Without giving myself away, I quietly tapped the record button on my phone and captured the entire conversation.

In my previous life, I had refused to divorce him no matter what.

I stayed by his side through bankruptcy, working three jobs just to help him pay off his debts.

In the end, on a freezing winter day, I suffered a massive hemorrhage from overwork and died alone in a rented apartment.

Two lives were lost that day.

It wasn’t until the moment before my death that I learned Julian had been cheating on me with Madeline Pierce. He had also transferred the last of his assets to her before his company went under.

But this time, I wasn’t playing along.

That night, Julian didn’t come back to our bedroom.

He left in the middle of the night, eager to go see his precious Madeline.

The next morning, I opened the bedroom door.

The first thing I saw was Madeline sitting on the expensive leather sofa in my living room.

When she saw me, she deliberately lifted a hand and ran it through her hair.

The unmistakable marks on her neck were impossible to miss.

“Good morning, Vivian. You’re up early.”

Her innocent-looking face was filled with barely concealed provocation.

“Don’t blame Julian for not staying with you last night.

“He only decided to divorce you because he wanted to protect you.

“But you’ve been married for five years, and you’re still so naive. How are you going to survive after the divorce? I’m honestly worried about you.”

I stared at her expressionlessly and casually played the recording on my phone.

“Really? Are you that worried about me?

“Then maybe you should cover up those bite marks on your neck.

“You wouldn’t want rabies to spread to me.”

Madeline’s face stiffened. Her innocent act instantly fell apart.

She shot to her feet and glared at me through clenched teeth.

“Vivian, who do you think you are?

“You’re just a brainless idiot. Julian has been playing you for years, and you don’t even know it!”

I let out a cold laugh.

“Being brainless is still better than being a shameless mistress.

“You took the trash I threw away and treated it like a treasure, then came all the way here just to flaunt it in my face.

“Madeline, just how desperate are you for attention?”

“You!”

Furious, Madeline raised her hand as if she were about to slap me.

Just then, the study door opened, and Julian stepped out with a frown.

Madeline reacted instantly.

She lowered her hand, her eyes turning red as tears began streaming down her cheeks.

“Julian, I was only trying to comfort Vivian, but she called me a shameless mistress...”

She threw herself into Julian’s arms, her shoulders trembling with exaggerated sobs.

Julian immediately shielded her behind him and glared at me.

“Vivian, what the hell is wrong with you? Madeline came here to check on you out of kindness, and this is how you treat her?”

The sight of the two of them made my stomach turn.

I was about to fire back when I suddenly remembered the $9,000,000 still hadn’t hit my account.

If I exposed them now, that money might disappear.

I took a deep breath and forced down my anger.

Then I had an idea.

I discreetly pinched my own arm, instantly bringing tears to my eyes.

“Julian, I thought about it all night.”
