Alle Kapitel von Divorce Finally Made Him Break: Kapitel 111 – Kapitel 120

I stared at the darkened phone screen, feeling puzzled. That was when Christine's voice pulled me back. "Josie, can you please not resign?"Her eyes were filled with desperation. "I was wrong. I never should've been foolish enough to listen to Yasmin. I thought she wanted to teach you a lesson by letting David take advantage of you a little. I didn't think she could be that cruel.""Do you have any proof that she told you to do it? A recording, WhatsApp messages, anything?" I asked.Christine's expression dropped in guilt. "It was her brother who met me that day. He passed along her message. I trusted Gregory back then, so I didn't record anything."Disappointment sank in my chest. If there had been a recording or chat logs, I could've torn off Yasmin's mask and exposed the truth.Christine seemed to sense what I was thinking. "From what I know of Yasmin, she has always been underhanded. She never gets her own hands dirty. If you want to catch her slipping, you'll have to dig deep

Just as I stepped into the courtyard, Timothy's car pulled in. Moments later, he and Yasmin got out with Daphne."Daddy, carry me!" Daphne cooed, stretching her arms toward him.Timothy smiled gently and scooped her up. "Our little Daphne's gotten heavier again."Yasmin laughed sweetly beside him. "That's because you've been spending time with us every day lately. She's in such a good mood, her appetite's gotten better!"The three of them were all smiles, chatting and laughing together—until they saw me. Their laughter froze in an instant, as if I were the only unwanted guest in this home.Daphne complained, "Daddy, Grandma said you already fired that lady. Why is she here again?"Yasmin, ever the picture of grace and understanding, softly said, "Tim, I'll take Daphne inside. You two can talk."Timothy handed Daphne over to her, and even as they walked into the house, his gaze followed them.I was still furious and sickened after dealing with Harriet and Emily earlier. My tears

"Alright," I replied.I figured I might as well pick up the report and stop by Christine's ward to share the good news. If she could land a few more scoops like this, her position as director would be even more secure.On the way to the hospital, I was in good spirits. After all, I'd thought that yesterday's blood draw was only to rule out that one-in-ten-thousand chance and give myself peace of mind. I never believed I could be that unlucky to hit that vanishingly slight possibility. But when I collected the report and returned to the OB-GYN department, the doctor looked at me and said, "Based on the date of your last period, you're five weeks pregnant."I froze, unable to believe what I'd just heard. "Are you sure?"Holding up the report, the doctor replied matter-of-factly, "I've been an obstetrician for decades. Do you really think I'd misread a pregnancy test?My heart instantly went cold. Worse still, I began recalling everything that had happened lately and hurriedly aske

In the end, Gregory got the recorder.I watched helplessly as the evidence I'd risked so much to capture was taken away. Desperate, I ran to Timothy and begged, "Tell him to play the recording. If what I said is false, punish me however you see fit. Delete the article or make me apologize to them—I'll accept it all. Timothy, trust me this once. Tell him to give the recorder back!"Timothy's dark eyes studied me for a long moment. His voice was so cold that it extinguished hope. "Do you know that secretly recording others is an invasion of privacy and illegal? Josie, stop making a scene and come with me."With that, he gripped my wrist and dragged me away. When I glanced back, Yasmin, Gregory, and Emily were smiling with undisguised triumph. I was so furious that I almost ground my teeth to dust. I was so, so close! However, Timothy neither believed in me nor helped me. At a single word from Yasmin, he sided with her family without question."Let go of me, Timothy! You bastard,

The next morning, when I arrived at the office, I was startled to find Christine there.As soon as we stepped into her office, I whispered, "Are you out of your mind? You just had surgery two days ago, and you're already back at work?"Christine said with a hint of disappointment, "Work is all I have left now. Besides, the story about Gregory and Grant Corporation is a tough one to crack. If I don't come back, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it alone.""But your health…" I sighed. "You don't have to push yourself this hard."Her eyes reddened, and her voice caught in her throat. "I saw how the Beeches cornered you yesterday. I'm sorry. I… shouldn't have treated you that way before…"I patted her shoulder gently. "It's all in the past. Now that you're back, hold your ground. You may not have the best taste in men, but your eye for a good story is still as sharp as ever."Christine laughed through her tears. "Right back at you!"Just then, the phone on her desk rang. She pi
