Chapter 1

Once I was done recovering from the surgery, I came back to an empty house. I had to wait for the next day to see my husband, Robert Price, coming home with his mother, Margaret Price, and our son, Rayan Price.They appeared utterly unconcerned about me.The moment the door opened, Sarah Hartley’s voice came through Robert’s phone. Sarah was Robert’s boss.It drew closer as they entered the room.“Sorry about that, Grace. It was my birthday yesterday, and Robby ended up staying over to celebrate with me instead of picking you up from the hospital. I did give him an earful, though, you can trust me!”She sounded as though she was scolding him, but it was obvious she was mocking me. I stared quietly at Robert and was about to speak when Rayan’s thoughts flashed through my mind.“Sarah is so nice! Nothing like my mom, who’s always breathing down my neck about homework. Why couldn’t Sarah be my mother?”Rayan leaned against the doorframe with a frown. I looked at him and felt a pang

“Robert, since your whole family is so busy, just sign the divorce papers on the vanity. I’ll get out of your way.”My words left everyone in the room speechless.“Stop it, Grace! Yes, I missed picking you up from the hospital, but is that enough of a deal to threaten me with divorce? You want to make me grovel and apologize? Sarah already explained what happened yesterday! I’ve been really busy these past two days. There is a lot to handle at the company. You’re out of the hospital now, so just rest and stop causing me problems.”Once he was done speaking, Rayan could no longer contain his excitement. He looked at Robert with eager anticipation.“Dad, sign it! Say yes! I can’t stand this old hag anymore! Once you divorce her and marry Sarah, I can get the coolest gaming setup ever!”Robert seemed not to pick up on Rayan’s hints. His own inner thoughts began to churn.“She was the one who insisted on marrying me back then. There’s no way she can leave me. This divorce thing is ju

Chapter 3

The courtyard of the mansion my father had just bought for me had been completely remodeled into a mess. Clothes were even hung out to dry on the balcony.Sarah stood at the entrance in her pajamas. She had her hands on her hips and was blocking the movers from going inside.“Ms. Harper, are you sure this is the right place?”The mover looked embarrassed, as though he had never encountered a situation like this. I then recalled what Robert and Margaret had said about helping Sarah pick out furniture for her new place. I had assumed that she had bought a new house and needed to furnish it. I never imagined that her new house was actually the mansion my father had given me.I also remembered a phone call in which my father mentioned sponsoring a female student.I looked at Sarah and roughly understood what was going on. So the female boss Robert had been bragging about was nothing more than a fraud who used my house and pretended to be me to flaunt some wealth!Robert, Rayan, and

He was usually a clean freak dressed in a crisp suit. Today, he wore old work clothes and had cleaning supplies in hand. It seemed like he was there to help Sarah with the deep cleaning of her new home.My heart sank. During all the time we spent together, he had never lifted a finger for the housework. Not even during my postpartum confinement. He did not even know how to use a mop at home.“Sarah, it’s dusty over here. You should go inside. Your allergies will act up. You shouldn’t be breathing in this stuff!”“Exactly! Sarah, leave this to my dad and my grandma. You should go back inside and get your beauty sleep. Don’t waste your energy on someone who doesn’t matter.”Hearing this, Margaret immediately rolled up her sleeves and prepared to get to work. Robert and Rayan chattered on. Neither of them acknowledged me. I had cared for them at home for so many years. They had never once offered to help. When my own allergies started acting up, I asked Margaret to sweep under the b

I struggled to stand up with my father’s support. Ignoring the pain all over my body, I picked up the property deed from the floor and flung it at Sarah’s face.“You were a sponsored student funded by my father, Sarah. It seems you’ve had it too good for too long and forgotten who you really are.”As soon as I said this, everyone looked at each other in confusion. Even if they did not recognize me, they would certainly recognize my father from years of appearances on financial news channels. Robert initially tried to pull me away, worried that I might dirty my father’s expensive clothes.But when he saw how furious my dad was, he hesitated. “Grace, that’s enough. Stop making a fool of yourself out here.”I could not be bothered with him. I did not even feel like saying anything to prove my identity. The way my father gently comforted me already said everything. By then, the neighbors who had gathered had caught on. Public opinion shifted, and many began to speak up in my defense.

Robert looked back and forth between Sarah and me. His face was full of hesitation.After pondering for a moment, he pulled Sarah into his arms. Then he looked at me with a bewildered expression. At the same time, I could hear his inner thoughts.“No matter what Grace is, she’ll never leave me. If I can keep both Hartley heiresses by my side, then I’ve got both career and family covered.”I turned my head away, trying to suppress the nausea rising in my stomach. I felt that if I looked at him any longer, I would vomit.“Sarah, I’m sorry you got dragged into this. If it weren’t for Grace, Mr. Hartley would have never gotten the wrong idea about you. It’s all her fault. She doesn’t work, and she has no ambition. All she does is create drama out of jealousy. I’ve spoiled her too much. That’s why she’s gotten so out of control. The Hartley family is filthy rich. What’s the big deal if they let us stay in one of their mansions?”I laughed out of sheer exasperation.The butler standing

Chapter 7

“Robert, I had the divorce papers ready a long time ago. If I weren’t leaving for good, I wouldn’t have moved my things here. Do you think I came here chasing after you and your family? Do you think I came to beg you to change your mind and forgive me? Get a grip! I already sold that house. The new owner will come in three days. You’d better be out by then, or I won’t be responsible for what happens.”After saying this, I made a signal to the bodyguard and walked into the mansion. I took everything Sarah had bought and threw it all out. Rayan’s gaming console was also smashed to pieces like trash.Robert, Rayan, and Margaret stood frozen in place as they watched the scene. It was only when I closed the front door that Rayan finally realized that I was abandoning them.He pushed through the crowd and wrapped his arms around my leg.“Mom? Why aren’t you coming back home with us?”I pried his hands off me and had the bodyguard drag him out. By then, Robert had also realized that I wa

Chapter 8

After Robert left, he did not give up trying to reconcile with me.I threw all his gifts and flowers in the trash.When he showed up at my door to put on a performance of devotion, I turned a blind eye.Finally, one day, he stopped. I had a few days of peace. I thought he had come to his senses and expected to receive Robert’s divorce papers soon. What I did not expect was to receive a call from the police first.It turned out that Rayan had learned the famous chairman of the Hartley Corporation was his grandfather. After that, he began daydreaming about inheriting the family fortune. He skipped school. He also started forming gangs in the name of being the Hartley family’s grandson.That time, he got into a brawl and was detained at the police station. They could not reach Robert, so they called me. When I arrived at the police station, Rayan looked at me as if I were his savior.“Mom, I missed you so much! Get me out of here!”He looked at me sincerely while cursing me relentl
