Spending His Love on Her

I replied flatly, "Fine. Let's get a divorce then."Before Spencer could fire back, I turned off my phone and blocked him on every platform.He wanted a divorce?Well, if that was the case, I might as well get back everything I had put into this marriage.I glanced at the time. Spencer should still be at the office. I had just enough time to swing by home.I rifled through every drawer and closet to search for the title deed. I wanted to secure the important things first before heading for the divorce.When I opened the deed, it felt as though my heart was tightly gripped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible to breathe.This house was bought in our second year of marriage, and I had drained most of my savings to cover the down payment.At the time, Spencer swore up and down that all assets would be shared. He said it would be easier for him to handle the paperwork alone, so he put only his name on the deed.But now, there it was—his name alongside Shannon's.Shan

The moment I saw Zion, I felt a wave of relief. Despite all these years, he hadn't changed a bit.Zion looked at me and nodded briefly before asking with mock surprise, "What did you mean by that just now?"I pulled out my phone and opened a conversation from a month ago. There it was—Spencer's pitiful plea for help."Yvonne, I didn't get promoted again. I'm just an assistant earning three thousand dollars a month. Can you cover the mortgage again this month?"I turned the screen toward Zion. "Mr. Latham, would you mind explaining this? Eight years at your company, and my husband's still just an assistant? We're really struggling with the home mortgage and car loan!"I pretended to be crushed by life's stress and sneaked a glance at Shannon. Her face was deathly pale.Zion frowned deeply. "Spencer is the manager of our business department, not an assistant."I dramatically covered my mouth and widened my eyes, as if I had just heard something utterly unbelievable. "What? Manager

Zion didn't ask any further questions and simply took me to a law firm.I sneaked a glance at him while he drove. I hadn't seen him since graduation. Now, he had taken over his family's company and had become even more distant and unapproachable."I thought you and Spencer were getting along well," he said, eyes fixed on the road. There was a hint of concern in his voice. "Are you sure about the divorce?"I hadn't expected Zion to know about my relationship with Spencer over the years.I gave a bitter smile and briefly explained the situation to him. When the car came to a stop, I handed him the prepared documents.Zion took them and started flipping through them. His brow furrowed deeper with each page.Suddenly, his veins bulged on the back of his hand. He slammed his fist on the steering wheel in anger. "That damn Spencer! I thought he'd treat you well, which is why I promoted him to manager! I never expected this!"Don't worry. I'll help you. I'll make sure he ends up with n

I almost couldn't contain my laughter.Spencer, who used to be so stingy with me, now had to walk away from the divorce not only with nothing but also owing me over 600 thousand dollars. There was no way he would swallow that bitter pill easily.Shannon clung tightly to Leo's arm. "Don't listen to him! He's just trying to ruin me because he couldn't get me!"Spencer suddenly scoffed. "Who's really the liar here? Is the guy next to you really your father? You're an orphan!"The man beside Shannon immediately bolted away in fear.It hadn't been very long since my divorce from Spencer, and they were already at each other's throats?Leo shook off Shannon's hand and looked at Spencer. "What is he talking about?"Shannon suddenly remembered me and pointed at me sitting in the audience. "It's her! That man is her husband! They're teaming up to slander me!"Leo frowned when he heard this. Without a second thought, he shoved Shannon aside. "I've known Ms. Sinclair longer than you have.
