Semua Bab Betray Me at My Lowest: Bab 1 - Bab 9

My family had just gone bankrupt when Asher wasted no time in bringing his first love home. He slid a divorce agreement in front of me. "I'm going to make Cora my official wife five days from now. I've let her down for too many years, so I can't disappoint her anymore. If you behave, I'll let you stay in this house and live alongside her."My family had just gone bankrupt, and he was already this impatient. He couldn't even wait one more day. I looked at him calmly. His gaze was cold, and the way he looked at me was as if I were a stranger. Even after five years of marriage, I was still unable to win him over in the slightest.Feeling flustered, I lowered my head and forced my hand to stop trembling as I grabbed a pen to sign the agreement. "Alright…"I wouldn't be staying here for much longer anyway. So, whoever Asher wanted to be with in the future no longer had anything to do with me.His eyebrows arched, seemingly surprised to find how decisive I was. He picked up the a

The day after I had decided to leave, my soon-to-be ex-mother-in-law, Vicky Pryde, called to get me to help with Asher and Cora's wedding. I still had things to attend to, so I refused her outright. Unexpectedly, Vicky, who had always been so gentle before, was an entirely different person as she started yelling, "Your family's bankrupt now, and you're completely barren! Why shouldn't my son remarry?"I didn't argue. Instead, I just calmly said, "He can. It's just that I've been a little busy lately."Asher hadn't even discussed it with me before deciding to divorce me and marry someone else. So, why should I help with their wedding?Not wanting to hear more from her, I abruptly hung up the phone.When I reached home, I found Asher in the front yard. He was wearing a light-gray casual outfit as he kept Cora company, looking relaxed. Smiling, he poured her a glass of fruit punch. A pair of beautiful pearl earrings adorned Cora's ears, and they sparkled brilliantly under the su

Asher's expression was stormy the whole ride to the courthouse.There weren't many people there that day, and we were issued the divorce certificates in less than 30 minutes.Once he got hold of his copy, he immediately took off, not even offering me a ride back. Given that he was about to marry the love of his life the next day, his actions made sense. From the chefs to the maids, everyone in the house was busy. They would usually greet me when they saw me, but that day, they only gave me a polite nod before scurrying off. I returned to my room and finished packing the last of my things. There wasn't much stuff left. I had already sold off everything that could be turned into cash, and the bits and pieces left only took up two suitcases. While no one paid any attention to me, I quickly wheeled the suitcases outside. When I departed the next day, I only needed to carry a backpack.There was still some time left, so I sent my parents a message telling them that I would also be

Cora sped home as well, thinking that something had happened to Asher. When she saw the panic on his face, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"Looking solemn, he ignored her, turned to grab his keys, and dashed outside. Cora stumbled after him, crying out, "Asher, don't leave me behind again…"But Asher simply floored the gas pedal, and the car sped down the road so fast that the scenery on both sides was a blur. When he reached the airport, he rushed to find me using the flight information his assistant had just looked up, but the plane had already taken off. He was still a step too late. His heart pounded loudly in his chest, and it felt like he was completely drained of energy as he staggered forward a few steps. After a beat, he suddenly covered his face with both hands and started weeping, his tears flowing uncontrollably. Everyone stared at him in shock.He wanted to just leave everything behind and catch a flight after me, but there were too many things her

A few days later, Cora came to my house to see me. This time, she looked a little uneasy, and the resentment in her eyes had disappeared, leaving behind only emptiness. She said that she only knew Asher and me in Jigsville. Now that Asher refused to speak to her, she could only brazenly come to me instead.I figured that she wanted to vent. She told me that for the past year, Asher had constantly ignored her. Now, she finally understood the suffering I had gone through, as she had been facing the long nights alone as well.As she spoke, she broke down into heavy sobs. "I hate him. He was the one who insisted on bringing me here to Jigsville. He was adamant that he'd divorce you and marry me. He said that he would give me a good life."Now he just says he doesn't love me anymore and leaves me all alone. He's already abandoned me twice. But I don't have anyone else to depend on but him.""Then try treating him as a tool to help you live a better life," I said to Cora. Cora blin
