I Sent My Cheating Husband To Court의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

On our tenth wedding anniversary, my husband, James Marshall, presented me with a surprise at our gallery gala.He had acquired an avant-garde art piece at an auction. It was a painting which he announced as his gift to me.I watched as he elegantly explained the painting’s artistic value to the guests around him with his glass in hand. He was basking in their admiring glances.Those guests were all connections I had introduced him to.The black titanium credit card he had used to pay the seven-figure sum was mine.I simply smiled and let him have the moment.Back at home later that night, I planned to retrieve some case files for tomorrow’s hearing from my study. As I approached, I noticed the door was slightly ajar.The voice that drifted out belonged to my personal assistant, Julie Summers. “James, this evening’s gallery gala was a success. The wives of those company presidents were practically tripping over themselves praising you.”I stopped in my tracks.James chuckled

As I listened to the report, a sharp, rhythmic ache pulsed in my chest.My most trusted assistant and my most intimate partner had joined forces to orchestrate the most devastating betrayal imaginable. An attorney, of all people, had been blindsided by a scheme orchestrated right under her own roof.I ended the call before my temper erupted.The moment I set the phone down, a new message from James flashed on the screen. [Claire, why is my card frozen? I’m meeting a few collectors today. I can’t move any funds. This will sink the entire deal.]I felt my scalp prickle with rage.For our so-called “artistic family,” I had poured my soul and fortune into him. The capital I had invested could have outright purchased multiple galleries. To spare him any embarrassment, I had given him a black card with no preset limit.Did he really believe I cared about the money in those deals?I ignored him. Instead, I printed out the investigation report that the firm had just sent me.Ten

I glanced at the text Julie had sent me.Then, I looked at the mother and son, whose faces were brimming with hostility, before me.Suddenly, I smiled.I put my phone away, took a deep breath and said with genuine conviction, “You’re right. I’m sorry.”Seeing me finally “apologize,” James flashed a triumphant smile.“Claire, I’m glad you finally came around.”Susan stepped forward, took my hand, and resumed her previous kind demeanor.“Claire, it’s good you recognized your mistake. A home can’t run if you’re obsessing over rules and right-and-wrong all the time.”I nodded. Then, I looked at James and said in a calm tone, “I’ll be waiting for you in the law firm’s conference room tomorrow. We’ll talk this through properly.”A flicker of surprise crossed James’s face because of my sudden “concession.”He stared at me for several seconds, then finally said, begrudgingly, “See? If you’d admitted you were wrong earlier, we could’ve avoided all this drama.”Susan poured her son a

Under their utterly delighted gazes, I looked down at the agreement before me, then began to speak.“Do you know why I asked you to meet me here, at the firm, and why I let you say every one of those things out loud?”James nodded, completely sure of himself, and said, “Because you realized you were in the wrong, and you wanted to make it up to me and Julie.”I smiled and shook my head. I said softly, “No, you’re wrong. I brought you here so the entire firm could see exactly what kind of man I’ve supported for ten years.”With that, I pulled out a different set of documents and placed them squarely in front of James.“This is the divorce settlement. Sign it. Along with this is all the evidence of you and Julie’s suspected theft of confidential client data and misappropriation of firm property. I’ll be personally filing the charges. Now, take your mother, and your soulmate, and get out of my house.”Watching the docile woman from moments ago launch such a precise attack left every

On my way out of the building, the sidewalk was packed with influencers and reporters who had rushed over after seeing the livestream. They pointed and started throwing insults.[Isn’t that the evil woman from the video? She looks like bad news.][Yes, didn’t the streamer say she’s a total viper? I heard she abused her mother-in-law and tried to throw her husband in jail?][I heard it’s all because she wants to hog the assets!][Disgusting. How can someone like her be a lawyer?][No wonder everyone’s turned against her!][Someone like her should be disbarred!]A few spectators got too worked up. Some people threw plastic water bottles and eggs at me.Some shouted curses for my professional and personal ruin.Standing amidst the scattered trash, my phone buzzed again with texts from Julie.[Ms. Claire, now you know what happens when you cross me.][I told you I’d leave you with nothing.]I did not reply. Instead, I pushed through the jeering crowd, pulled out my phone, and d
