บททั้งหมดของ A Stranger in My Marriage: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

"Exactly! Cynthia has been running all over the country on business—even during the New Year—for you and your company, while you sit comfortably in your office enjoying the benefits. And now, you're suspecting your own wife of fooling around? Do you have any conscience at all?"My father-in-law, his face full of disappointment, pointed at me as he rebuked me, as if I had committed some unforgivable crime.I thought of the way they had looked at Bobby just moments ago—so satisfied, so pleased. And then I thought of how, no matter how much money I had given them over the years, they had always remained distant and polite.Only then did I finally understand: no matter what I did, I would never warm this family's hearts.The truth settled cold and clear in my chest. Just as I was about to speak, the child in Cynthia's arms suddenly lashed out, kicking at me viciously."Bad guy, go away! Don't bully my mommy and daddy!"The words "mommy and daddy" struck me like a knife.Once, Cynthi

The cold, perfunctory indifference I had always received in return.I let out a silent, mocking laugh and replied: [You want me to apologize to Bobby? Keep dreaming. No shares. No car. Just a divorce agreement.]After sending the message, I blocked every one of them.As soon as I finished handling matters, I rushed onto a plane and flew home, ignoring the barrage of calls Cynthia kept making.When she couldn't get through to me, she grew even angrier.Out in the open, she took Bobby and his son shopping through the city's major malls with my in-laws, posting photos of their "family time" on social media.Friends flooded the posts with likes and comments.[The three of you look perfect together—just like a real family.][Bobby's smile is so warm and gentle, unlike Johnny, who always seems so stern and unapproachable.]Cynthia replied: [Bobby is so filial to my parents. Not like certain someone who's only come back a few times in all these years of marriage.]Reading those word

"Otherwise… we'll settle this in court," I said.Seeing the unprecedented coldness in my eyes, Cynthia finally realized that nothing she said could salvage this marriage. Her expression darkened.She tore the divorce agreement apart again and sneered, "I don't even need to read it to know that a heartless man like you wouldn't offer me a fair deal. So I refuse."If we're divorcing, then at the very least I'm taking half your assets as compensation for the years I've wasted on you!"Hearing such outrageous words, I couldn't help but laugh in anger."I built this company from nothing with my own hands. What have you done all these years, besides using 'business trips' as an excuse to meet your lover?"I've already given you plenty of shares—not to mention everything you secretly transferred away. And now you still want a cut of what's left? Cynthia, do you even have a conscience?"Her gaze turned ruthless."If you won't play fair, don't blame me for doing the same. Either you acc

I shifted my investigation in private, tracing back the person who had originally recommended the female secretary to the company.Following the trail step by step, it led straight to my father.At that point, everything became clear.What I hadn't expected was that Cynthia had been involved as well."As the evidence shows," my lawyer stated firmly, "the so-called 'scumbag' accused by the plaintiff is, in fact, my client's biological father. The two bear a strong resemblance in both build and appearance…"And the other party deliberately impersonated him, leading to widespread misunderstanding. The alleged illegitimate child is also the result of the relationship between my client's father and this female secretary during their affair."As he spoke, more evidence was presented—footage of my father living with his mistress in a suburban villa, along with the DNA test confirming his relationship to the child."This entire matter, from the very beginning, is a conspiracy targeting
