로그인The underprivileged student I've been sponsoring suddenly shows up at my birthday party, swaggering in and waving around a pregnancy report. "Look—Pheebs is pregnant with my baby! You'd better be smart and divorce her already!" I point at the report, stunned and confused. "Are you sure it's Phoebe who's pregnant with your child?" Victor Thompson, my beneficiary, smirks proudly as he fiddles with the pregnancy report. "Duh! We conceived the baby last month on our cruise trip!" The entire room falls into a stunned silence. My ex-wife, Phoebe Jackman, has been dead for three years.

Instead, all that massive debt and the nearly bankrupt company were left for the shareholders to deal with.With Phoebe's "revival", all the shady things she did back in the day were out in the open. The shareholders who once cleaned up her mess were now after her parents.They blocked Mr. and Mrs. Jackman, yelling and demanding their money back."You raised a piece of trash, and it's ruined my life! I had to sell my house and car just to pay off her debt, while she's living it up, getting college boys in bed and herself pregnant!"She's a scum that needs to rot in jail! Even if she dies in there, she's gotta pay us back what we're owed!"In the meantime, I received an apology letter from Victor in the hospital. He finally understood that it was me who had been sponsoring him all these years, not Phoebe.None of that money had
Phoebe yanked Victor's hair, not sparing him from her vicious reprimand. "You could've lived your comfortable life in silence, yet you had to come out here and create a mess for me to clean up!"I'm aborting the baby. Who knows if you've got any STDs, considering how promiscuous you are. You wanna covet my family's fortune? Dream on."She slapped him repeatedly until he was knocked to the ground. Then, she suddenly stepped forward and turned to me with feigned loyalty."You see that, Colin? I have no feelings for him. It was all just for fun… For the past three years, I've only been thinking about you and how I can return to your side…"Only I knew how much her words made me sick. They also made Serena seethe with fury. She grabbed hold of Phoebe, her voice trembling with rage."Hey, did you forget you were dead? Who are you to blabber around here? Quit your fake loving, emotional act. If you'd really loved him, you wouldn't have abandoned him without a second thought!"Serena's
All I could think about was how she had gotten pregnant with my beneficiary's child and lied to me, along with her parents, for three whole years.Now, the only feeling left when faced with her face was pure disgust. "I'm sure you brainwashed Victor into believing all the accusations he threw at me, as well, huh?"You've been using my good deeds to deceive people, seducing young guys, badmouthing me behind my back, and pretending to be all loving. You're worse than an animal."After venting my frustration, I delivered a slap across her face without a second thought. The sound of that crisp slap quickly attracted a crowd.Victor ran over and shielded Phoebe, squaring up. "How dare you slap Pheebs! I'm gonna kill you!"As always, Serena stood before me protectively, wearing a fierce expression. "Nobody touches my boyfriend!"Seeing the hostility displayed toward me by Victor, Phoebe not only didn't confront me for the slap but returned one to his face instead."It's all because of
Phoebe immediately appeared frantic, but her eyes were full of hostility toward Serena. "This is between me and Colin! Stay out of our business!"With that, she suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me away toward a quiet, secluded corner when Serena wasn't paying attention.Victor, left standing awkwardly, tried to follow, but Phoebe impatiently snapped, "Get out of my face. This mess started because of you and your nonsense! I'll deal with you later!"At that, Serena immediately got agitated and seemed ready to chase after Phoebe. Her eyes burned with possessiveness and protectiveness for me, but I gently reassured her."Don't worry, we're not going far. Let me talk to her. If anything happens, I'll call you right away."My calm and gentle reassurance eased Serena, and she decided to trust me. Phoebe, on the other hand, ground her teeth and shot us a cold stare.Of course, she had no choice but to go along with my wishes and didn't go too far.I flung her hand away. "Are you real
