    I also thought about Adam, who had once been so dependent on me, yet whom I had never seen again following the debacle of the wedding.I detested Queenie, but I couldn't bring myself to abandon an elderly man and a young child in their time of need.I did my best to keep it together and sound calm, asking, "Are you at the hospital right now, Adam? I need you to send me the hospital's address. You have nothing to be afraid of. I'll handle the money situation. "You should take good care of Oscar first. I'll get things sorted out right away.""A-Are you serious, Hunter?" Adam sounded completely shocked and incredibly grateful."I am, so get on it," I said before I hung up.I sat in my chair and remained silent for a few minutes. I knew logically that I was done with them and that Queenie should clean up her own mess, but emotionally, Oscar was still someone I had looked after for a year and would gently call out to me, and Adam was someone who had depended on me.In the end, I jus

    That friend, Peter Lowe, was a former college classmate of mine. He reached out to me the second he heard about my divorce. He told me he had been wanting to partner up with me for a long time because he knew how hardworking and creative I was.I felt as if my life had been rebooted. I went back to school, reconstructed my social circle, and rediscovered my own identity. I was no longer someone's husband or in-law—I was simply Hunter Chamberlain.I would receive sporadic updates about Queenie through mutual acquaintances or online sources. She wasn't doing well. She had lost her job, she had ruined her reputation, and she was basically blacklisted from her industry in the city. She tried her hand at sales and food delivery, but she was too proud for entry-level work and unqualified for anything higher, all while still drowning in debt. She apparently accidentally hit someone while working delivery once and had to cough up a bunch of money, which just piled onto her troubles.She t

"You ought to stop making yourself sound so full of deep affection and stop treating me like a fool, Queenie. Your version of love is entirely worthless and completely filthy."I immediately hung up after saying that and had Mom block her number as well.Queenie tried to show up at my apartment complex later, but the security guards stopped her. She then went to my part-time workplace to confront me, but I directly called the police to handle it. She seemed to finally understand that I would never change my mind after that, no matter what.I saw her again

    I took a screenshot of the messages, found Joseph's number, and forwarded them to him with a message attached. "Queenie never really loved me, and she doesn't love you either. She's just in love with your family's wealth."I blocked the number as well after doing that.I later heard that after Joseph received the message, he had a fierce fight with Queenie. In the heat of the argument, Queenie suffered a miscarriage and lost the child.Joseph's parents were absolutely furious. They didn't just kick Queenie out. They also used their influence to get her fired from her job. There were rumors that Queenie sustained severe uterine damage, rendering her potentially unable to conceive again.The Dixon family quickly sold off their local assets and moved with Joseph to another city, completely dropping off the grid.I only found out about all this later, piecing the details together from Queenie's desperate messages and accounts provided by mutual acquaintances.Having rested for a few

    Mom was already drowning in tears, while Dad's expression went from shock to absolute fury.His face flushed red with anger as he slammed his fist on the coffee table. "How despicable! That woman is a monster! I knew from the very beginning that Queenie is wretched! It's one thing to be broke, but you can't be rotten to the core! She treated you like a free nanny and conned you out of money to take care of her lover! "Screw that! I'm going over there this instant! I'm going to demand to know what the Chamberlain family ever did to deserve this and how Hunter wasn't good enough for her!"He got up after saying that and made a move toward the door, ready to storm out.I quickly pulled him back, my tears welling up again. "It's not worth it, Dad! I don't want to see her ever again, and I don't want you guys getting angry because of her. I just want to get a divorce as soon as possible and completely rid myself of her."Mom held onto Dad, too, sobbing. "Please calm down, Charlie! H

    Queenie grabbed it in a daze, her hand trembling violently the moment she saw the words "Divorce Agreement" written in bold.I stated flatly, "You should just sign it. After all, unless I divorce you, you won't be able to legally marry your lover, and when the baby is born…" I paused briefly as I glanced at her baby bump and continued, "getting a birth certificate might be a bit complicated."I no longer looked at her face, which was deathly pale, nor did I look at Joseph's broken expression or the livid faces of the Dixon family. I turned and walked down from the stage under countless gazes, passed through the whispering crowd, and left the ballroom. I no longer cared about the chaos, screams, and questioning happening behind me. I walked out, and the sunlight was piercing. I stood at the hotel entrance and took a deep breath, finally feeling free for the first time in a year.I took a cab straight to the train station and bought a ticket for the next available train home. I chec
