That card was meant for our household expenses. Just last month, it still carried over 100,000 dollars.When I checked the records, I found they had been deliberately erased. So I went straight to the bank and requested the full statement.The largest expense stunned me—it was from the Hill Hotel, the very place I had visited earlier. 88,000 dollars, listed under "Birthday Party Package.""Daddy must be planning a surprise for me, right? Mommy, let's hurry over and give him a surprise too!"My daughter's innocent eyes sparkled with excitement, leaving me unable to think the worst of my husband, Freddy Richmond.But when we arrived at the banquet hall, the truth hit me like a knife.There stood Freddy in a tailored suit, smiling and chatting warmly with guests at the entrance. At his side, a woman in a striking red gown clung to his arm with practiced intimacy. They looked like a picture-perfect couple.I recognized her instantly. She was Lisa Hamdon, his secretary, and one of th

The other guests roared with even louder laughter.Someone jeered, "Mr. Calter is so generous! But really, isn't three hundred too much for goods like this?"Lisa leaned into Freddy's side, joining in the mockery with a tinkling laugh.I raised my voice, trembling with fury. "Freddy, are you really going to let them humiliate me and Elise like this?"He stood expressionless, as if I were nothing more than a stranger.Only when the laughter finally died down did he speak, his tone flat and impatient."Valerie, stop disgracing yourself here. We're celebrating Eugene's birthday party today. Take your daughter and leave now, or I'll have security escort you out."In my arms, Elise shook violently, her tiny fingers clutching the fabric of my dress. She buried her face against my chest, too frightened to look at the sea of cruel, mocking eyes."Mommy… is it true? Are they right?"Her trembling question stabbed straight through my heart, leaving me gasping for air.Twelve years of m

I was still reeling from shock when Eugene suddenly charged forward and slapped Elise hard across the face."That's for your mom daring to hit my dad! Now I get to bully you!" he shouted.Her head snapped to the side, a bright red handprint blooming across her cheek. Elise stood taller than Eugene by a head, at that age when pride and competitiveness burned hot, and her first instinct was to strike back.But before she could move, Lisa seized both her hands, digging cruelly into her wrists. Her voice lashed out, sharp and condemning."How can a girl be so vicious? No upbringing at all!"With Elise restrained, Eugene pounced. His little fists and kicks landed recklessly, leaving marks across her body in moments.Tears welled in her eyes from the pain, but she bit down on her lip, refusing to cry out."Stop it!"I panicked, rushing forward to pull Eugene away, but Freddy gripped my arm in a vice."They're just children playing. Why are you interfering? Eugene knows what he's d

Yet Eugene still jutted out his chin, stubborn and defiant.Freddy, catching sight of his son's reckless arrogance and then of my father's face growing colder by the second, felt a sudden surge of fury ignite in his chest.He raised his hand without warning and delivered a sharp slap across Lisa's face."This is the result of your parenting! Look at the monster you've spoiled him into!"Lisa's head snapped to the side. Her hair fell loose, and an angry red handprint bloomed across her cheek. She covered her face in disbelief, her eyes instantly brimming with tears."Freddy! You hit me? How could you? Does Eugene's behavior have nothing to do with you?"Freddy, consumed with agitation, ignored her accusations and turned toward my father, desperate to explain."Dad, this woman seduced me. That boy was part of her scheme. You're a man—you know men make mistakes. But in my heart, I've only ever loved Valerie. I swear I'll cut ties with them completely."Hearing this, Lisa lost the

"Fine. The family estate can be yours, but the company stays with me. That business is my life's work. I can't give it up. I'll buy the shares in your hands at market price."I gave him a long, meaningful look."Alright. As long as you recover every cent you squandered on Lisa and her son, I won't touch your company."Freddy agreed without hesitation and moved swiftly. The very next day, he had his lawyer file suit against Lisa, demanding the return of all property and money he had gifted her over the years.In court, Lisa wept pitifully, claiming the funds were voluntary support for her and the child. Over the years, Freddy had poured eight million into her and Eugene.The final judgment ordered her to repay 800,000 dollars. Not the full sum, but enough to leave her utterly ruined.On the day of sentencing, Lisa broke down, screaming hysterically in court, "Freddy, you heartless bastard! I gave you years of my life, bore you a son, and this is how you repay me?"Freddy looked a
