The suffocating sensation gripped Jane like a vice. Her face flushed as she reached up, struggling to pry Gabriel's hand off her. Her efforts, however, were futile.Gabriel's smile deepened as he watched the pain twist her expression. "The Wilkies have already abandoned you. If you know what's good for you, sign the divorce papers, take the compensation I'm offering, and leave. Otherwise, you'll walk away with nothing."He released her, tossing her aside carelessly like discarded trash. Without sparing her another glance, he turned and walked away.Just as Gabriel was about to return to his work in the study, his phone rang. It was Wren."Gabriel, your stepfather's company is in trouble… He's threatening to divorce me now… What should I do?!" Wren's voice was frantic, panic clear in her tone."What does his company's trouble have to do with his wanting a divorce?" Gabriel asked, his voice cool and uninterested.Wren gritted her teeth, clearly reluctant. "I caused a scene at Prosp

Raymond scoffed. "Wife? Not for much longer.""Are you really going to divorce me?!" Wren stared at Raymond, her eyes wide.Though in her 50s, Wren had taken excellent care of herself and appeared to be in her early 30s.When they first married, Raymond hadn't been drawn to her looks. Instead, he had married her because a fortune teller had told him that Wren would bring him good fortune.The first two years of their marriage had been prosperous for Raymond's career. His business had expanded rapidly, growing several times in size.Now, however, because of Wren's foolishness, his company was on the verge of bankruptcy.On top of that, Raymond had been seeing a mistress, planning to make her his official partner. Wren had to step aside."We've been married for years, but if it weren't for the mess you caused this time, I would never have considered divorce. This is all on you," Raymond blamed her.Seeing Raymond's cold, heartless attitude, Wren fell silent for a long time. Final

At Prospectus Technology, small private chat groups among employees buzzed with activity as everyone discussed Wren's apology video.The entire company was aware of the scene Wren had caused earlier, and clips of her outburst had circulated in various employee group chats.When Damon found out, he issued a strict notice forbidding employees from sharing the video further. Anyone caught distributing it would have their bonuses docked.To incentivize compliance, he offered a 400-dollar reward for the anonymous reporting of violators.No one dared share the video openly anymore, but discussions about it continued in private."Wren looked so arrogant in that video. How did she apologize so quickly? Did Mr. Sumner threaten her?""Considering how much Mr. Sumner cares about Nyla, that's definitely possible."In the lab…Leon noticed the trending video and immediately handed his phone to Nyla. "Take a look at this, Nyla."Nyla glanced at the video on the screen.Upon seeing Wren apo

Wilhelm thought that when Gabriel was home, Jane never hit him without a reason.But ever since his father left, his mother had become unpredictable. Sometimes, even the sound of him making noise while eating would lead to punishment, forcing him to stand in the corner.He missed the mother who would kiss him and speak to him gently. He didn't want the mother who hit him for no reason."But Daddy's out there with another woman now and won't come home," he said.Although he was young, he understood a lot of adult issues.Lately, Gabriel hadn't been around. With Jane's constant hints, Wilhelm had started to believe that Gabriel had left because of a bad woman, choosing her over their family."Mommy, when I grow up, I'll protect you. I won't let any bad woman bully you!" Wilhelm vowed.Tears welled in Jane's eyes at his words, her heart filled with a mix of emotions. Yet, her moment of hesitation lasted only a second before her resolve hardened.The only way to give Wilhelm a comp

Looking at Jane's self-righteous demeanor, Gabriel remained expressionless. His gaze was indifferent, as if she were a stranger of no consequence.His lack of reaction agitated Jane even more."Gabriel, why aren't you saying anything? Why?!" she shouted.Gabriel's voice was calm. "Because I think you're pitiful.""Pitiful?!" Jane repeated, then burst into laughter. "Do you think you're any less pitiful than I am? You abandoned your wife to be with Nyla, but has she even spared you a second glance? In the end, you and I are no different—we're both pathetic losers."Gabriel showed no visible reaction but said, "Jane, I'm not like you.""What's so different about you?" Jane demanded."I can make my own choices. You can't. Take this situation, for example—I can ensure you'll never see Wilhelm again, but there's nothing you can do to stop me," Gabriel stated.Jane froze, her laughter faltering. An overwhelming sense of unease gripped her. "What are you going to do?"Gabriel waved h
