The private hospital's report said Summer was seven months pregnant.However, Summer and Mason hadn't known each other yet seven months ago.There was no doubt that the baby was not Mason's.Mason had become the ultimate fall guy.During her school break, Yvie came home to grab a few things. The house was now cluttered with baby items. Poppy Reed, Yvie's grandmother, beamed with joy as she helped Summer try on expensive jewelry she had just bought.As Poppy adjusted the necklace, she didn't forget to take a stab at Yvie with her words. "Why are you back? Shouldn't you be in school?""This is my house. I don't need anyone's permission to come home," Yvie replied."Suit yourself. Just remember, all of this will belong to your little brother. If you don't study hard, you'll be out begging on the street."Summer giggled triumphantly. "Yvie, come look! Which necklace do you think I should wear at the wedding?"Yvie shot her a glare and headed straight to her room. She remembered

I packed up all the gifts and designer clothes Mason had given me. I regretted having always been at his mercy all these years.I sold them to second-hand collectors and donated the money to impoverished mountain areas.Next, I rented an apartment and looked for a job.Although we had housekeepers before, I still made most of the arrangements for things at home.So, I quickly settled on a new place and moved in.Right after I finished moving, Tanner called and invited me to work at his company as an assistant.I accepted his offer, as I needed to learn and adapt to a new environment.I started the job one week later.Tanner's company had around 300 employees. I was responsible for assisting with contracts. During the training phase, I had a meager salary of 4,000 dollars. While it wasn't even enough for me to buy a pair of my shoes, it was money I earned myself.Five months later, Tanner asked me if I wanted to resume being a lawyer.Right after I graduated from college, I didn't join

Yvie's eyes widened. "Dad, did you lie to me?"Mason eventually had the family leave. He wanted to talk to me alone."Why do you have to make things so ugly?" He lit a cigarette. "Summer will give birth to the child, and you'll raise it. You'll still be the lady of this house."I laughed out of fury. "Listen to yourself. Is this something a human being would say?"He immediately shot back. "How am I not human? Look at my business partners. All of them had sons late in life. Their wives even took care of their mistresses during postpartum. Mr. Churne houses eight mistresses in one villa. Still, things are harmonious and perfect in that house!"I just want a son to fulfill my parents' wish. It's your body that's the problem. I wouldn't have to get involved with someone else otherwise. I treat you so well. Can't you be a little understanding?"Your dad only cares about your stepmom and your younger brother. They only treat you well because of my money. Also, you spend money extravagantly,

Mason lovingly kissed her on the forehead. When he looked up, he met my gaze.He looked panicked. After all, he hadn't expected me to show up here.I pulled out my phone and started recording.Seeing this, he tried to grab my phone. As I fought back against him, I warned, "Mason, if you lay another finger on me, I'll pull the surveillance footage from this house and upload it online. I'll let everyone see you for who you are."Mason, a seasoned businessman, was now facing a situation completely out of his control. He said irritably, "Elaine, calm down. Let's go home and talk.""I want a divorce," I insisted."I won't agree to it. Don't waste your time!""I don't care if you agree or not. We're going to the courthouse tomorrow. If you try to play games, don't blame me for going nuclear.""Don't make a scene." He sighed and added, "Think about our parents, about our daughter."That was when I finally snapped. I flipped the table over, screaming, "Shut up! How do you have the nerve to br

He tore my pajamas apart in a few quick motions and dragged my undressed body in front of the mirror."I'm disgusting, you say? You're the disgusting one!" He shoved me roughly before continuing, "Look at your chest—it's sagging to your navel. And that face of yours is covered in spots like a rotten orange. How can I desire you? I lose my appetite just looking at you. Don't you find yourself disgusting?"As he spoke, he squeezed my chest."You'd better know your place. If you behave, I'll still let you be a rich wife. But if you divorce me, don't come crying later."Mason slammed the door and left. I was still curled up on the floor, arms wrapped around my chest.We'd been together for 21 years.How could he say something so cruel to me?Perhaps he had changed long ago, and I was the only one who clung to the memories, unwilling to accept the truth.As my nails dug into my palms, the sharp pain brought clarity to my mind."Mason, did you really think I was someone you could treat howev
