Slum Wife, Villa Nanny Chapter 9
Liam's features contorted with rage, and he glared at me. Yet, a smile played on my lips as I motioned for him to keep listening.My lawyer went on, "In addition, we have chat records showing that he sent 15 thousand dollars a month to his mother, supposedly to support her. "However, the money was used to purchase jewelry for the third party. That, too, counts as a deliberate misuse of marital assets, and it must be recovered."All at once, Liam lost it. He jumped to his feet, pointing at me and shouting, "Beatrice Langley! Are you trying to push me over the edge?"Behind him, Matilda panicked as well. "No, Liam! We still have to pay Lexi's school fees. You can't give her the money!"The judge rapped the gavel. Liam's lawyer pressed him back into his seat and whispered in his ear. He bit down on his lip with all his strength until it bled, just like I had that night when I discovered the truth. Soon, the divorce proceedings came to an end. I got full custody of Ezra and n

A flicker of guilt crossed Liam's features as he avoided my gaze. Then, he said, "We need to take this one step at a time. Matilda's pregnant, after all. "Why don't we wait until she gives birth? I'll give her a lump sum to help raise the child, and then I'll keep saving—""Why would you need to save?" I cut in. "What about Cloudridge Villa? Can't I live there?"Liam shot back, "What are you talking about? The place is under Matilda's name. It's her property!"I set my coffee cup down and spoke slowly. "Liam, you're a smart man. You know that any property or money you gave your mistress using marital assets without my consent can be reclaimed in a divorce, don't you?"Or do you actually think she isn't a mistress, that spending money on her was somehow justified? Too bad. Legally speaking, she is a mistress."Cold sweat beaded on Liam's forehead. Clearly, he knew about all this. I was certain he had consulted a lawyer before coming. So, he was aware of how slim his chances wer

"Should I even tell you?" Ezra asked. "But when Ms. Shaw called someone, she said Mommy only gave her four thousand dollars, and that's hardly enough for anything. "She said it's already a lot that she was able to make dinner, and she added that Daddy said it was okay."At that point, Ezra blinked. "Daddy, is four thousand dollars really so little?"Liam nearly fled in panic. He couldn't even bring himself to lift his head as he muttered, "I have something to take care of."Just like that, he bolted out the door. Confused, Ezra looked at me blankly. "Mommy, is Daddy working late again? Are we still going to the amusement park?"My heart ached as I pulled him into my arms, regret washing over me. Matilda had played her part too well in front of me. She was friendly and down-to-earth, always in a ponytail and worn-out clothes. Everything she said, in one way or another, was about how difficult it was to raise her daughter alone. On top of that, she cooked a full spread every

Anger coursed through me as I backed everything up on the tablet. Less than five minutes later, every account was offline. Liam began pounding on the door. "Open up, darling. Let's talk this through. I know you're home. Please, don't stay silent. I'm worried about you. "I know I was wrong. My mom was talking nonsense. You're the only one I've ever loved. Please… just let me come in."A beat later, he yelled, "Beatrice Langley! If you don't open this door, I'm kicking it down!"But I kicked the door from the inside before he could. Liam yelped in shock and pounded even harder. "Darling, what's wrong? Are you hurt? Open the door!"I crossed my arms, then asked, "Liam, you've got a gorgeous villa. Why are you here?""It's not… Darling, just open the door, and we'll talk. You don't want the neighbors hearing this, do you?""Why wouldn't I?" I shot back. "I'd love for everyone to see how my husband brought his mistress into our home, turned her into my household helper, bought he

Liam's face went pale, and his eyes went completely blank. But before he could speak, Shirley wrenched her hand free and stomped over, jabbing a finger at my face. "Of course you're getting a divorce! But who gave you the right to make demands?" she bellowed. "Ezra's our grandson, and Liam earned every penny! You'll never get the money!"At that moment, I felt somewhat relieved. I was glad Liam had made excuses to keep his parents from moving to the city, all so Matilda could be our household helper. Otherwise, the past ten years would have been sheer chaos with Shirley. But now, with divorce on the table, I didn't have to worry about conflicts anymore.I tightened my grip on my phone, then glanced at the glowing recorder in my pocket. A beat later, I lifted my head to meet Shirley's gaze. "If you truly cared about your grandson, you would have seen him more than twice in all these years. Also, why don't you ask your son how they split everything when a couple gets divorced?"

My last nerve snapped in an instant. Matilda was already pregnant with their second child, right under my nose. Liam clearly realized he had said the wrong thing. He urged the sobbing Matilda to go home before turning to me, his voice softening as he said, "Darling, this time… it was my fault. I was drunk, and I thought she was you. I'm sorry."I stared at him and remained silent. He faltered under my gaze. His voice dropped even lower, and he went on, "I know I was wrong. I'll give her money for the baby and cut her off completely. "From now on, everything I earn goes to you. You've always liked houses with yards, right? I'll buy a villa and put it in your name. We'll move there together."Every word sounded apologetic, yet none of it felt sincere. I met his gaze. "Liam Moore, it's only been an hour since I confronted you. You lied to me for ten years. How could you possibly come to your senses in one hour and suddenly have the resolve to cut her off?"I'm just a fool in yo
