Semua Bab The Poor Student and My Dead Wife's Secret Child: Bab 1 - Bab 9

I looked at Victor Thompson, utterly confused, and pressed further, "You know Phoebe? Are you even sure we're thinking about the same person?"He gripped the pregnancy report, swaggering as ever. "Oh, quit the nonsense already, Colin! File for a divorce first thing in the morning and step down as her husband. Otherwise, you're only going to make a fool of yourself."The once-humble Victor was now dressed in an expensive suit with a perfectly styled hairdo. The arrogant, lofty stance he had now was vastly different from the scrawny, insecure boy he had been eight years ago.Although I was displeased with the provocative tone he was using, I still held on to a little hope for him. "Alright, Victor. Enough with the prank. It's my birthday today, so have a slice of cake."He pushed the cake I handed him aside, slamming his hand down on the table. "'Have a slice of cake?' Dude, just tell me, are you filing or not? If you're not, don't blame me for resorting to other methods."His outst

Before long, two luxury cars pulled up at the hotel entrance. Many of the guests, curious to see what could happen, followed us in their own cars all the way to our destination.When the cars stopped, I asked the driver to let Victor off.Victor took off his sunglasses and looked around, his face turning red with rage as he yelled, "What the hell, Colin? You actually brought me to a cemetery? What's your plan?""Calm down, and just follow me," I assured him and led him a few steps forward until we stopped before a tombstone. "Now, take a good look. Whose tombstone is this?"He gave the tombstone a half-hearted glance before throwing his head back and laughing. "Alright, alright. I'll admit you've gone all out, even going so far as to fake a tombstone to avoid a divorce. But Colin, it's useless."I don't care how much you spread rumors about her supposed death. You can't deny that she's the mother of my child."Victor seemed to have lost all patience and gave me an ultimatum. "If

"Look at him and his mistress! That's the proof of his infidelity! He's been spending your money on another woman! You should sue him, make him return you all the money, and then divorce him!"Although the woman was growing increasingly embarrassed, Victor continued to talk as if he were in control, giving me orders."See? Pheebs hasn't considered you her husband for a long time. You're only embarrassing yourself if you keep defying me. Everyone here can prove you've cheated."You want to sue me? I'll have Pheebs sue you into bankruptcy first!"By then, the people around had gotten used to Victor's erratic behavior. Therefore, their attention turned to "Phoebe" instead.Those who once knew her well came closer to get a better look at her."Her features are exactly like Phoebe's… Could she really be her?""But I attended her funeral! The police confirmed that she couldn't have survived the avalanche…""What on earth is going on? Did she fake her own death?"Victor was furious w

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

I gave up my inheritance and didn't take a single penny from Phoebe.Frankly, it was a good call because it kept me from getting tangled up in her debts. 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
