Chapter 7

Author: Spoiled Wolf
At 10 a.m. on the eighth, I arrived at the courthouse right on time.

Olivia was dressed in a sharp business suit, while Brad stood beside her in a white linen shirt.

When Olivia saw me, she froze for a moment.

She seemed surprised to see me looking so composed and put together.

Then she walked straight into the building and said in her usual commanding tone, "Let's get this done."

The moment I stepped inside, my eyes began to sting.

The last time I had been here was seven years ago.

    "No thanks," I answered immediately. "When you blocked every way I had of contacting you, why didn't you think a day might come?"She frowned deeply."Weren't you the one who blocked me?"Just then, Brad was escorted out by police officers. The moment Olivia saw him, she marched over and slapped him across the face."You b*st*rd! How many times have you lied to me?!"Still wearing handcuffs, Brad broke down crying."Olivia, I only lied because I love you!"I forged the evidence because I was afraid you'd leave me! I only did all those ridiculous things because I loved you too much!"I'm begging you, please forgive me this once. I can't live without you."Olivia let out a broken laugh. She looked like she wanted nothing more than to punch herself for being such a fool.Then she turned back to me and grabbed my sleeve."Drew, we've been together for ten years. Can't you give me one chance to make things right?"I promise I'll never let anyone deceive me again."At that momen

    Olivia's clenched fists slowly relaxed. She looked at me, then at Brad.After giving the defense attorney another look, she gritted her teeth and tightly shut her eyes.The attorney immediately understood the signal and spoke up."The plaintiff's evidence appears very comprehensive, but how can we prove these chat records weren't fabricated?"I snorted and pulled out the final stack of documents."Before we continue, let's talk about something else for a moment. “Brad, why exactly did you go to that private hospital for all those procedures to remove any trace of prior sexual activities?"Was it so you could convince my ex-wife that you were innocent and inexperienced, and make her divorce me so she could take responsibility for you?"The color instantly drained from Brad's face.Olivia's eyes snapped open as well. She stared frantically at the documents in my hand.Her eyes filled with rage almost immediately as she demanded an explanation from Brad."You lied to me? You t

Are we really getting married?"I'm so happy I don't know what to do! It doesn't even feel real! Is this really happening?"At the time, I had simply stood there laughing at how adorable she was. Over and over again, I kept telling her the same thing. "It's real."Back then, we had ever imagined we would return here for this reason.Once we received the

    "AI-generated?" she shot back. "What are you talking about?"I let out a cold laugh."They gave you the court summons, didn't they? Why are you pretending not to know?"Before I could finish speaking, Olivia's phone rang.Brad's weak voice came through from the other end."Ms. Jones, I... I don't feel well. My stomach hurts so much. Can you take me to the hospital?"Without the slightest hesitation, she abandoned me and ran back upstairs.Before leaving, however, she didn't forget to add, "Remember to withdraw the lawsuit. Brad has photographic evidence of your affair. You're not going to win this case."I only realized then that she had never actually read the summons.Gritting my teeth, I forced myself to stand and limped upstairs after her.Before I even reached the apartment, I saw Olivia helping a visibly distressed Brad downstairs.Neither of them spared me a single glance as they passed me.After packing the last of my belongings and taking my suitcase, I left the pl

    After saying that, I hung up the phone.I was planning to go home, pack my things, and move out.However, before I even reached the front door, I saw our wedding portrait sitting outside like a piece of trash.Looking at Olivia's bright smile in the photo, I felt a sharp pain stab through my heart.Now that things had changed, maybe it was better this way.After entering the code and unlocking the door, I stepped inside and immediately heard the unmistakable sounds of a man and woman getting it on from the bedroom.I looked around the living room to find that every photo of Olivia and me was gone.She really couldn't wait to cut all ties with me.While listening to those filthy sounds, I opened my suitcase and began packing my belongings.Just as I was about to retrieve my parents' portrait, I realized it was missing.Anger instantly surged through me.I kicked the bedroom door open, interrupting them."Where is my parents' portrait?"Brad let out a startled cry, and Olivi

    My heart clenched painfully, and I grabbed the hem of Olivia's dress as I tried to explain."Listen to me. I don't even know that woman!""I don't want to hear it."Olivia interrupted me, her expression clearly irritated."You can refuse to sign if you want, and we'll just settle it in court. It'll take a little longer, but the outcome will be the same."The pain in my stomach grew worse, while my heart ached with every beat.After two seconds of silence, I finally spoke in a hoarse voice."Yeah. I can't afford to drag this out."After taking the signed divorce agreement from me, she tossed me a bank card."You were with me for ten years, after all. There’s five million dollars in there. It should last you a long time."It was almost laughable.Ten years of youth and devotion, and in exchange, she had built a fortune worth tens of billions, while I was apparently worth only five million.Holding Brad's hand, she slowly walked out of the hospital room.My vision blurred wit

    I frowned."What do you mean?"Brad flashed a bright smile."When Ms. Jones saw this tie, she thought it suited me, so she bought it for me."But I didn't really like the style, so I asked Ms. Jones to return it."This was the tie she had given me on our seventh wedding anniversary six months a

    The intense discomfort made me dry heave uncontrollably.I quickly called Olivia Jones back, but she didn't answer until the third call.Even through the phone, I could hear an indescribable sound of heavy breathing coming from the other end."Do you have questions about the terms of the divorce

    I laughed."You've been together for that long, and yesterday was the first time you slept together?"A look of disdain appeared at the corner of her lips."Brad respects himself. He insisted on waiting until we'd been together for a full year before giving me his first time."I already told you
