Semua Bab A Slap to Send the Scumbag Crawling: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Even the colleagues at work, whose names I barely knew, were secretly mocking me in the work group chat.After my best friend, Peggy Turner, learned about the incident, she surprisingly refused to take my side and instead harshly rebuked me."You should be thanking your lucky stars that you even married someone as good as Johann, Nancy Castro! Don't you know that you're being an ingrate and a bastard by doing this to him?"If I were you, I'd immediately fall to my knees and beg him for forgiveness without a second thought! You're going to regret this sooner or later!"At this point, my husband, Johann Garner, was just sitting by the side, silently enjoying my public disgrace and downfall. He seemed to really enjoy watching me getting attacked by everyone, judging from the faint smile playing on his lips.Everything was within his control, after all.In everyone else's eyes, he was always known as the mature, stable, gentle, and considerate businessman, who was also very successfu

Johann's cold words pierced into my heart like a knife.He was so oppressive toward me that tears immediately welled up in my eyes, and I couldn't do anything but nod obediently at his words.I was worried that I would suffer even more if I angered him any further.Just then, his phone rang loudly.He glanced at the caller ID and hurriedly went over to answer the call. His tone was filled with tenderness and concern as he said, "Eva? What's the matter? Why are you calling me?"Eva's saccharinely sweet voice came through the phone and into my ears."Mr. Garner, I think I'm feeling a little unwell because I've been working a little too much. Can you come over and bring me to the hospital?""Wait at home for me. I'll be there at once," Johann said, hurrying out of the house without even properly hanging up.Just before he left, he paused at the door and turned around to bark his orders at me."Go make some chicken stew and send it over to Eva's apartment at night. I don't want he

"I know what to do," I said through gritted teeth.Johann finally smiled at me again, something he hadn't done for a while, as if he was finally pleased with my answer and satisfied with my obedience.Upon arriving at the hotel where the event was being held, Johann tossed an evening dress toward me and said simply, "Change into this."I shook my head and walked straight into the hotel as I was.Obviously, Johann was very displeased with my reluctance.However, since we were in public, he couldn't shout or lose his temper at me anymore.And so, I walked into the event venue with the injuries on my face, my hair in a bedraggled mess, and my entire being soaked in rainwater.Everyone stared at me in shock.Meanwhile, Johann actually looked embarrassed and thought of trying to explain things when Eva suddenly appeared next to me and draped a towel over my head."Ms. Castro! How could you make yourself so unpresentable just to beg Mr. Garner for his forgiveness?"I must say, I ad

There was a small uproar amongst the passengers. Some of them even gave me a thumbs-up."You did the right thing, Ms. Castro! Those two cheaters will definitely be condemned by everyone. I'm going to go and curse at them online on your behalf now!"These people, who were complete strangers to me, actually brought me immense comfort. I could foresee the online harassment Johann and Eva would face, judging by these strangers' reactions now.I disembarked from the plane with a sense of relief.As soon as I walked out of the airport, I caught sight of Cedric holding up a sign while looking around for me. He was so happy when he saw me that he ran up to me to hug me.However, his steps faltered when he saw the bandage on my forehead."I thought you were just going through with the divorce proceedings. How did you get injured all over instead?"Cedric then pressed tenderly on my shoulders while giving me a good once-over.I forced a smile at him and said, "It's alright, Cedric. I've

Johann continued, "As long as you're willing to tell everyone that this was nothing but a misunderstanding, that you orchestrated all this because of your jealousy and pettiness, then I'll—"Faced with Johann's selfish and arrogant nature, I finally couldn't hold it in anymore and shoved him away from me forcefully, sending him flying.He lost his footing and tumbled all the way down the steps, just like how I did last time. Finally, he landed in a pile of dirt.This time, I was the one looking down condescendingly at him."Stop pretending to be so affectionate with me, Johann Garner! In the end, all you care about is just your money and reputation!"Don't you expect that your feigned affection will ever move me in the slightest that I'd clear your name for you. You're a fucking adult, Johann Garner! You chose to cheat on me, so you will take responsibility for your own actions!"Johann scurried to his feet, trying to continue to explain things to me. However, I hovered my palm a
