Chapter 1

On the night of my 30th birthday, I waited until the early hours of the morning, but my husband, Theodore Hawk never showed up. Instead, I came across an Instagram post from his childhood sweetheart, Emily Gallagher.[What romantic is not the starry night, it's having you by my side.]In the picture, she was wearing a delicate, sky-blue camisole that revealed just enough to charm and seduce. A man stood close behind her, his hand firmly gripping her waist.The scene was set in the seaside villa that Theodore had gifted her, their figures intimately entwined under the soft glow of the night. Someone had commented beneath the post:[I can’t stand you two being this lovey-dovey all the time! Just get married already!]Emily had responded with a shy-face emoji.I had just liked the post when Theodore, who I had failed to reach all night, blew up my phone with calls."Are you out of your mind, Camilla? Emi and I grew up together! If we wanted to be together, we would’ve done so long

My face turned pale. I pressed one hand tightly against the wound on my forehead, while the other gently moved toward my abdomen. Theodore hadn’t noticed. Instead, he turned around and reached for the car keys to take me to the hospital.But just then, his phone rang.He glanced at the screen, and in an instant, seemed to abandon his plan.Without a second thought, he picked up the call. Whatever was said on the other end of the line made his expression suddenly serious, yet his voice was soft, unusually tender."Don’t worry. I’ll be right there."He hung up, grabbed his keys, and rushed to the door.As he reached the entrance, I called out to him. "Theodore!"He didn’t stop moving, but when he looked at me, his eyes were filled with disgust."Something’s happened to Emi. Can’t you, just for once, stop being so needy and understand what’s going on?"I stood up, one hand holding my forehead, the other clutching my abdomen. The intense pain made it hard to breathe, but I

As soon as I opened my Instagram, I noticed a post from Emily. [Thank goodness I have you to comfort me.]The accompanying photo showed her in her kitchen, where Theodore was preparing porridge. Seeing the flood of envious comments below, I silently wiped away the tears that gathered at the corners of my eyes. Once, when I was bedridden with a high fever, I begged him for just a cup of hot water, but he refused. Now, he was happily cooking for Emily.I suddenly realized I couldn't wait any longer. I looked at the e-ride app on my phone, which showed the car I had been trying to hail for ages still hadn’t arrived. Determined, I braved the pouring rain and walked toward the bus stop. Although it was only a few dozen meters away, each step felt like miles.Large raindrops hammered down on me, and with every step, a sharp pain surged through my abdomen. I pressed a hand against my belly, my face pale, a bandage still wrapped around my head. Many people on the bus noticed m

I opened the car door and climbed into the back seat. Throughout the ride, Emily kept trying to provoke me by boasting about how wonderful Theodore was to her, but I had no interest in engaging her. Instead, I idly stared out the window at the passing scenery, which gradually made her fall silent.When we arrived at our destination, Emily linked her arm with Theodore’s. I followed behind them, and as soon as we stepped into the lobby, I noticed a link suddenly pop up in our mutual friends' group chat. I clicked on it, only to see a photo of Theodore and Emily kissing splashed across my screen.Accompanying the image was a slideshow of their various moments together. I raised an eyebrow at Theodore, and he cleared his throat, attempting to deflect the situation. "These photos are all photoshopped. Emi and I are just childhood friends," he insisted. I nodded, not bothering to respond further. As I walked into the venue, I realized that the gathering was hosted by Denise

“Impossible! I saw her change her sanitary pad in the restroom just yesterday,” he protested. The doctor shot him an exasperated glance, but Denise shoved him aside. She seized the surgery consent form from the doctor and began to sign it. “Don’t mind him, Doctor. He’s a lunatic. Just make sure she’s fine even if you can’t save the baby.” Ignoring Theodore, the doctor hurried off with the signed consent, heading straight for the operating room. Theodore turned to Denise and seized her hand. “Why would you say that? Do you have any idea how long we’ve waited to have a child?” he asked desperately.Without hesitation, Denise delivered a swift kick to his knee, causing him to wince in pain, and followed up with a sharp slap to his cheek. “Why? Because on the Valentine’s Day, you were with your little sweetheart, not her! Because you even dared to lay a hand on her! Listen closely, Theodore: if any harm comes to Camilla, I swear I won’t let you off the hook!”Theodore seeme

I had thought that after the incident at the hospital, Theodore would quiet down for a while. However, to my surprise, he completely changed. He showered me with concern every day."I made this chicken soup for you, Camilla. I let it simmer for hours. You should give it a try."I ignored him and poured the soup straight into the sink. "You have two choices now, Theodore. Either agree to the divorce, and we’ll put what happened that day behind us, or I’ll sue you and report Emily for pushing me into the champagne tower, causing my injuries."Theodore remained silent for a long time before finally responding. "If it makes you happy, Camilla, I can report her."I let his words hang in the air.Just then Emily's voice suddenly echoed through the hallway. "Theo, are you really going to report me and send me to jail?" She wore an expression of feigned innocence, with tears threatening to spill from her eyes.He turned at her voice and his expression darkened at her question.

Chapter 7

Theodore appeared reluctant to let go. Just as we were about to exit the courthouse, he reached out to grab my hand.I shook him off, and he stared at me with wounded eyes. "Camilla, please…" I ignored him and strode out of the courthouse, determined to move on with my life. Once I had almost fully recovered, I took the plunge and applied for a position at the largest rival company to Hawk Corporation: Phoenix Enterprise. The idea of us going our separate ways after the divorce was something I never thought would happen. I had endured too much suffering for it to be for nothing. I aimed to stand in direct opposition to the Hawk family and bring them down! Having graduated from a top university and accumulated several years of experience at Hawk Corporation, I knew my resume looked particularly impressive. This certainly facilitated a smooth interview process, culminating in the final interview where Albus Winters, the CEO of Phoenix Enterprise, personally assessed me

Chapter 8

I subsequently exposed Emily's accounts, revealing everything she had done during my marriage to Theodore. In an instant, she became a pariah, despised by everyone. At first, she denied everything and tried engaging in online arguments, arguing that the unloved one was the other woman.But how could she possibly contend with countless netizens? She quickly found herself overwhelmed and had to close her comment section.As for Theodore, I made it a point to attend his court hearing. The evidence against him was irrefutable, leading to his decade-long sentence in prison. Unable to accept this harsh reality, Theodore’s mother suffered a heart attack in the courtroom and had to be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.Once her condition stabilized and she prepared to return to the business world to salvage the family's reputation, she discovered that nearly all the money in Hawk Corporation’s accounts had been secretly siphoned away by Emily.Emily’s reputation in the
