After I succeed in helping my wife, Claire Gibson, establish her company, I decide to become a full-time stay-at-home dad without a worry in the world. Since my daughter, Nancy Davidson's 10th birthday is coming soon, I want to make the event fancy. So, I decide to place an order on Hill Hotel's birthday banquet services, where one full table of food costs 18 thousand dollars. When I'm swiping my card, the hotel employee shoots me a look. "Mr. Davidson, your card can barely foot for a 500-dollar bill." Embarrassed, I go home and question Claire about the family's finances. She looks at me apologetically instead. "My company has been participating in a bidding process lately. The newly-appointed governmental senior official is a greedy one, you see. I've spent quite a lot of money in bribing him just to get things done. "Once my cash flow is back, I'll definitely throw Nancy a fancy birthday banquet!" In a considerate manner, I tell Claire that I completely understand her situation. But soon, I start calculating the assets I still have. After all, my dad is the newly-appointed official. There aren't any bidding processes going on in the government at all. I'd like to see where on earth Claire has spent all of her money.

"You said I planned your downfall." I scoffed, continuing, "Without me, you're nothing, Claire."Claire slumped to the floor, utterly drained, as if every ounce of strength had been sucked out of her.After a moment, she lifted herself shakily and staggered toward the door. Her shoulders were hunched, her back bent, and in an instant, she appeared ten years older.Just as she reached for the door, a familiar figure suddenly appeared from the corner, blocking her path. It was Logan. "So, you two actually made up!"His hair was disheveled, his eyes bloodshot, and he looked nothing like the man he had been before.Seeing Claire step out of my place, Logan lost it completely. "What am I to you, Claire? What's our son to you? I have nothing now because of you, yet you're here looking for this bastard?"Already defeated and frustrated, Claire yanked her hand free and snapped, "Are you done? What I do is none of your damn business! You're the one who wanted to be with me in the first pl

At my words, Claire drew a deep breath. Her voice carried a note of reluctant compromise."Alright. You can have the family estate, but I want the company," Claire said. "It's my life's work. I can't just hand it over. As for the shares you hold, though, I can buy them all at market value."I replied with deliberate weight, "Sure. As long as you return everything you've spent on him and his son over the years, I won't touch your company."Without hesitation, she agreed and got to it right away.The following day, Claire hired a lawyer to sue Logan, demanding the return of all the gifts and money she had given him over the years.In court, Logan insisted that the money had all been voluntary, as they were living expenses for him and child support for Caleb. Over the years, Claire had spent 18 million dollars on them.Ultimately, the court ruled that Logan had to return eight million. It wasn't everything, but it was enough to wipe him out. On the day of the verdict, he screamed hy

Dad's eyes were full of pain and tenderness. "Good girl, Nancy. Grandpa's taking you to the hospital now."After a few days of rest at the hospital, Nancy's complexion improved a lot. Still, her spirit was fragile. She would often wake up from a nightmare, so I stayed by her side the whole time.That day, Logan had been the main instigator, so Claire was released on bail soon after.Before long, she showed up at the ward door, carrying an elegant fruit basket and a bouquet of pink baby's breath—Nancy's favorite.Claire wore a simple white dress. Dark circles lingered under her eyes, wearing her overall appearance down. Standing at the door, she spoke cautiously, almost testing the waters."Honey, Nancy, I came to see you two."Nancy had been leaning against me, reading. When she saw Claire, her eyes lit up just a little. "Mom…"I could tell that even though she was somewhat afraid, she still secretly longed for her mother's love.Claire reacted as if she had been granted a pard

That said, Caleb still held his head high, refusing to back down.Claire watched his reckless defiance, then glanced at Dad's increasingly cold expression. A surge of anger shot straight to her heart. Without thinking, she swung her hand and slapped Logan hard."Look at the son you've raised! You've spoiled him into a total brat!"Logan's head turned to the side from the blow, a clear handprint marking his cheek. He pressed his palm to his face, his eyes instantly reddening in disbelief."You hit me? Ask yourself—do you, as his mother, have zero responsibility for how he turned out?"Flustered and furious, Claire ignored Logan and turned to Dad, desperate to explain herself."Dad, this man seduced me. I only stayed because he threatened me with the child. You know how these social obligations can be unavoidable, but my heart belongs to Joseph only. From now on, I'll sever all ties with them!"Logan, still bristling from the slap, lost all sense of reason. He lunged forward and g

The marriage I once took pride in now seemed to be full of flaws and cracks.Before I could even recover from my shock, Caleb suddenly rushed over and slapped Nancy across the face. "Your dad hit my mom earlier, so now, I get to teach you a lesson!"Nancy's head tilted to the side, a large red pri

Claire glanced at me indifferently, then spoke in a flat, commanding tone. "Pick it up and leave. Now."Anger boiled over me. "You think two grand is enough to brush me off? What do you think got you those contracts when your company was just starting, huh?"All these years, you've been spending o

The pot-bellied man added, "I mean, at least you won't have to worry about not having 500 dollars in your pockets anymore. You know, a good wash and he’s still good."The moment those words landed, the crowd burst into even louder laughter.Someone egged him on, "Wow, Mr. Zimmerman, you're being g

In a fit of rage, I shouted, "What nonsense are you guys talking about? Logan is the homewrecker here! That boy is the illegitimate child, not my Nancy!"A few snickers rippled through the crowd. A pot-bellied man swirled his drink and scoffed. "Everyone knows Mr. Stone and Ms. Gibson have been t
