Author: Verdant Mountain
Kelly was still young. She didn't fully understand that Yvonne and I were divorced and are no longer a family.

Whenever she played games, she'd still ask both of us to join her.

Every time she did, Yvonne would look at me hopefully.

But I never agreed to it. I even made a point of keeping my distance whenever she came by.

    "You destroyed your own life with your greed and jealousy. Someone as pathetic as you isn't worth a second glance from me, let alone an elaborate campaign against you," I roared at Tristan."Still, I have to admit that seeing you end up like this is pretty satisfying."Tristan jumped out of his car and rushed toward me, trying to drag me out of my vehicle.By then, the police had arrived. They quickly pinned him to the ground.To my surprise, he immediately turned to Yvonne. "Ms. Zeller, please save me! I don't want to go to jail!"He went on to say that he would never leave her, even if she had lost her money, and that they would rebuild everything together.Yvonne responded by kicking him. "I won't let you fool me ever again! Everything that's happened to me is because of you."Was Tristan really the only reason she had ended up where she was?Her own choices had brought her here, too.No matter how much she wanted to lie to herself, it had nothing to do with me anymore.Sh

    The Zellers came knocking immediately, begging me to restore the patent licenses.I refused without hesitation.Yvonne still hadn't grasped how serious the situation was. Tristan had filled her head with fantasies.She convinced herself that the turmoil was necessary and that she had what it took to turn everything around.Meanwhile, they couldn't launch their new products, business partners kept their distance, and employees continued to jump ship.Tristan kept telling her it was the perfect opportunity to clean house. He claimed that Zeller Group would belong entirely to her.Even Timothy and Joshua were frightened. They stopped talking about inheritance altogether. Instead, they took advantage of Yvonne's clouded judgment, sold all their shares to her, and left the country.…As losses mounted, Zeller Group became little more than an empty shell. Even Joshua, who had once fought Yvonne for control of the company, had vanished.Yvonne had finally realized that Zeller Group w

    "You almost drove Tristan to his death, and now you're doing something like this just to humiliate him? Does that make you feel good?" Yvonne questioned. "What else can you do besides threaten me with patent licenses?"My parents looked disappointed as they saw Yvonne's true nature for the first time.Tristan, on the other hand, only added fuel to the fire. "Mrs. Carter, it's okay. You should stay and have dinner with them. I'll just take a cab home."That was what he said, yet he made absolutely no effort to leave.Dad finally lost his patience. He pointed at the door and roared, "Get out of here!""Sorry. I wanted to spend your birthday with you, but since it's come to this, we might as well settle everything tonight," I apologized.I placed Kelly into Mom's arms. "Take her inside. I need to speak with Yvonne alone."Then, I pulled out the divorce papers I had prepared and handed them to Yvonne."There's no point in dragging this out. Once you sign these papers, you can get i

    I took Kelly straight to the hospital.Fortunately, the alcohol hadn't caused her any lasting harm.I quickly hired a top-tier divorce attorney and gave him full authority to handle the proceedings.At the same time, I instructed my patent agents to revoke every licensing agreement I had authorized through Yvonne gradually.I also informed the professors who had licensed their patents to her as a favor to me that I was filing for divorce. Yvonne deliberately refused to sign the divorce papers. Instead, she became even more public with Tristan.She brought him to industry events and introduced him to influential people there.What she didn't realize was how many people were mocking her behind her back. They treated her like a joke.Some investors even withdrew their funding and terminated the partnerships altogether.Yvonne had already handed over much of the company's business to Tristan and failed to notice any of it.Meanwhile, Tristan was living the high life. He constant

    Yvonne ignored me completely. She yanked her hand free and shouted, "Do you have any humanity left at all, Shane? You're actually driving a living person to his death!"Tristan has already humbled himself, yet you still won't stop! I didn't know you were this twisted. I regret marrying you!"I covered Kelly's ears, and my expression turned cold."That's enough! If you want to save him, then go for it. Just stop acting crazy in front of Kelly.""If anything happens to Tristan, I won't let this matter go!" Yvonne threatened.With that, she turned and walked away without glancing at Kelly, who was sobbing in fear.My face darkened. It seemed that Yvonne was beyond redemption.…After Family Day ended, I took Kelly home.When I checked my phone, Tristan's plagiarism scandal had vanished from the trending list. Every related tag had been wiped.It was Yvonne's doing without a doubt. She was doubling down on her mistake.I was about to put my phone away when another trending headl
