LOGIN"I'm ruined, isn't that enough? From now on, I won't bother you anymore. Apart from the marital assets, just give me one extra payment for the abortion," Megan pleaded.Brandon, the child's father, had long vanished the moment public opinion turned against them.By now, both the company's reputation and mine had been largely restored. Netizens, realizing they'd been played, redirected all their anger and frustration toward Megan and her parents. The trio didn't even dare show their faces outside.Hearing them beg and plead in front of me, I felt nothing.Before all this exposure, I had still hoped to maintain some semblance of decency—split the property fairly, keep things civil. But now…'Delusional,' I thought. 'Divorce means you walk away with nothing. If you don't agree, I'll use this evidence in court until you do. I have the money and patience to drag it out.'Not only that, I had instructed my lawyer to recover every penny Megan had used from marital assets to support her
"Now all we need to do is organize the evidence. The truth will come out sooner or later," Riley added.I nodded, a faint sense of relief rising in my chest."Good. Start by compiling all the financial transactions between me and their family over the years."But in the very next second, another topic suddenly shot to the top of the trending list.[#TylerGrant'sNewLoverExposed — The Forsaken Wife Rides an Electric Scooter While His Beautiful Assistant Drives a Sportscar]Riley's personal information had been dug up and spread across the internet.Words like "mistress" and "homewrecker" were plastered all over her.My heart clenched sharply.All my life, people could treat me however they wanted—I didn't care. But what I hated most was dragging innocent people into my troubles.I shot Riley an apologetic look."I meant to reward you for your hard work. I didn't expect it to backfire like this."But to my surprise, Riley showed no panic at all. She shook her head firmly."Mr.
I saw that Megan, her parents, and Brandon were livestreaming.On screen, four plainly dressed people were squeezed together, presenting a pitiful picture.My mother-in-law faced the camera, crying so hard that tears and snot ran together."Back when he was dirt poor, we never once looked down on him. We only thought that as long as he was honest, hardworking, and willing to improve himself, that was enough. That's why we entrusted our daughter to him! Who would've thought that once he became successful, he'd abandon his wife and child!"My father-in-law's eyes were red as well. Still, he forced himself to maintain a man's pride and a father's dignity, refusing to let the tears fall."It's my fault for being blind in my old age—for misjudging him! My poor daughter followed this petty guy and suffered for ten whole years, only to be heartlessly cast aside now!"Brandon gently comforted Megan's parents before turning to the camera with tear-filled eyes."Megan's parents are truly
"Do you think I don't know his temperament?" Megan said. "He's just throwing a tantrum. Ignore him for a couple of days, and once his anger cools down, he'll come slinking back."I lowered my eyes and smiled bitterly, thinking, 'Megan, this time, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.'I whipped out my phone and made a call to my assistant. "Riley, freeze all the family cards under my name."…My driver had already been waiting downstairs.After getting into the car, I gave him the name of a villa community. The vehicle started immediately.Over the years, I had secured my position at the company and accumulated considerable savings.I had mentioned more than once that we should buy a villa—living together as a family would be far more comfortable.But Megan's parents always deliberately opposed me.They insisted on hoarding their money instead of spending it, investing in all kinds of properties and financial products while living frugally themselves.I couldn't argue them down.
"So just because we asked you to give Brandon some shares as an apology, you're going to divorce me?"For once, Megan's emotions finally wavered.My father-in-law and mother-in-law were also stunned by what I had done. A flicker of panic flashed through their eyes.My mother-in-law burst into tears."Tyler, Megan has been with you since she was eighteen! When you had nothing, she never looked down on you. And now that you've made it, you want to abandon your wife?"Brandon glared at me resentfully."Tyler, how can you casually bring up divorce like that? Or is it that you already have someone else outside… and you've been waiting for this day all along?"A gust of cold wind swept past, and Megan swayed slightly. Her face turned pale, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at me.For a moment, her expression overlapped with the memory of six years ago—when she had insisted on marrying me despite her parents' objections.Back then, I had sworn I would love her and protect her for the
"Besides, Tyler already arranged a job for me," Brandon added quickly. "Even if it's only eight hundred a month, I'm already grateful! I really can't take your money!"My mother-in-law looked deeply pleased, though she still found time to shoot me a glare.But my father-in-law seemed to sense something off."Why are you only earning eight hundred a month?" he asked suspiciously. "This is one of Alyes City's fastest-growing tech companies. Even fresh graduates start at a thousand a month. Why are you getting so little?"He turned to glare at me."Well, well, Tyler. So you've been sabotaging Brandon behind his back! You ungrateful thing!"I couldn't bear to carry such an outrageous accusation."Enough!" I snapped. "With his résumé, he wouldn't even make it through the application process. I already made an exception to bring him into the company—what more do you want? He should be grateful to earn eight hundred!""The trouble he caused nearly dragged the whole company down with h
