Chapter 1

I sat there quietly, not raging or shouting like I usually did.Sandra Lane took it as me finally realizing I was in the wrong. She didn't even bother to look at me before walking out to the living room to video call William Jones, her childhood sweetheart."Let me see how you're recovering.""Hey, looks like it's healing pretty well. But be careful with that cut.""I'm not a doctor, but I've saved plenty of people. I know how this works. Just listen to me!""Alright, alright, quit teasing. I'll come by tomorrow and cook you something nourishing."I listened to my wife laugh as she responded to his flirtatious remarks. Without a word, I stepped onto the bedroom balcony and called my lawyer.Even though it was late at night, his voice was sharp and alert."Prepare a divorce agreement for me by tomorrow morning," I instructed."Yes, Mr. Green. Are you and Mrs. Green—""Don't ask about anything else. Just get it done," I said and hung up.After that, I stared at a phone number

The next day, I went to my in-laws' house empty-handed.As usual, when I stepped inside, my mother-in-law, Winter Sutton, was already busy in the kitchen, while William was still with my father-in-law, David Lane, drinking coffee and playing chess.The moment I opened the door, all three of them lost their smiles, as if my arrival had blown it all away.William quickly pasted on a look of pain. His acting was terrible, but it still fooled everyone around.David snorted and pointed at me angrily. "You rude fellow! Why didn't you knock before coming in? You've given Will a scare! Apologize to him right now!"I ignored him and went straight to the couch."Steven! Didn't I tell you to bring some supplements?" Winter's voice cut through the air like a knife, and she flung the spatula in her hand at me. "Go! Get in the kitchen and cook! I'm exhausted!"In the past, as long as I was around, I would never let Winter cook. I'd even make her a bowl of chicken soup and have her sit back an

"What?" Sandra shot to her feet.Even William, who had been pretending to be weak just moments ago, dropped the act, staring at me in shock."Steven, have you lost your mind? Are you seriously divorcing me over something this trivial?" she questioned.I didn't feel like arguing anymore. I just nodded calmly.Sandra's expression hardened, her voice turning sharp. "He's my childhood friend! We grew up together. His parents died young, and we've been there for each other for years. Whatever happens, it's not for you to decide. He's family. Do you understand? Family!""Family?" I let out a cold laugh. "Do you go hand in hand with a family member to the store to buy birth control, then head to an adult store together? Do you act intimately with a family member outside a hotel? Do you sleep with a family member? You even used my membership card to pay for the hotel room!"The more I spoke, the angrier I got. I roared, "Are you sure he's family?"I stared at her, hoping to catch even a

A few days later, Sandra was suspended for personal misconduct.Her voice trembled with disbelief when she was told about it. "Suspended? Why am I suspended?"After that, she came to look for me. "It must be you! You're behind this! You're trying to get back at me, right?" she yelled.I let out a faint smile and shook off her hand. "We're already divorced, Ms. Lane. Stop bothering me."With that, I got into the car. She shouted and cursed behind me, but I left without looking back.The driver drove me to the office, and I packed up all the property deeds and contracts with my name on them into my briefcase. These were mine to take.I handed my things to my assistant and glanced at the time. "It's time to leave," I murmured to myself.After the divorce, I tried to erase the painful memories. Arguments with Sandra, William's provocations—they were all being sifted out of my mind.I chose to retreat to my family, seeking a sliver of peace and comfort.Home felt like a refuge, fam

Chapter 5

Sandra's voice came through the phone, urgent and uneasy, shattering the calm I had managed to hold onto."Hey, it's me, Sandra."There was a tremor in her tone, as if she were facing some major crisis. "The investors for the rescue team pulled out all of a sudden. They're saying it's my fault. Steven, please, you have to help me—I need you to bring in the funding."A bitter laugh escaped me. The woman I had once given everything to was now asking for help in that same arrogant, demanding tone, right when she needed me most.I had thought long and hard before deciding to divorce her. During those days, her indifference and betrayal had cut through me like a blade, deep and unrelenting.And now, what made her think I would care about her problems?"Sandra, we're divorced. Why would I get involved in your mess?"My voice was edged with indifference, but there was also a hint of helplessness. "Besides, weren't you the one who drove me away? And now that you're in trouble, you come

Chapter 6

After I refused to help Sandra that day, she didn't reach out to me again.From what I heard through other friends, her superior had laid down an ultimatum. She was told that she had to recover the investment at any cost, or everything about her would be exposed, she'd be fired, and she'd have to cover the rescue team's losses.Sandra and William threw themselves into it like maniacs. Using the connections I had left behind, they managed to secure a fair amount of investment, and soon, the total was nearly enough.They had even secretly sold off things around the house to scrape together cash and keep things moving.She had called me once, brimming with false bravado, just to gloat."Did you really think I couldn't survive after leaving you? That's impossible," she said.I didn't bother responding. I just looked down at the divorce certificate in my hand and let a small, cold smile cross my face.Sandra was definitely getting ahead of herself. The best was still to come.A few

Sandra's live stream fiasco had swept across the internet, dragging my name into the storm and pushing me to the center of public scrutiny.Her news dominated the trending topics, while endless comments, wild guesses, and accusations flooded the social media platforms.I didn't hire anyone to suppress the news, nor did I waste time responding to baseless attacks. Instead, I chose silence and poured all my energy into a new plan—launching a new company.It wasn't just about proving my abilities. It was about showing everyone that, even after such a public scandal, I could rebuild and start over.But the fallout went far beyond what I had anticipated.As Sandra's live stream saga continued to spiral, people began digging deeper. William's whereabouts were eventually exposed. At first, I paid it no mind because, after all, I had nothing to do with him anymore.Then, a few days later, a piece of news hit me like a thunderbolt.Sandra, driven mad by her massive debts, had followed Wi
