I did not want to argue with Jason anymore, so I took out the second agreement and said, "This one says I'll leave with nothing and only take my personal belongings. Sign it."Jason slammed his hand on the desk and stood up. "Do you want to get away from me that badly?"Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered it, and his face turned pale.The next second, he slapped me before I even knew what was going on, and blood seeped from the corner of my mouth."Didn't I tell you to drive Sylvia back to her campus?! Why did you have to go draft some damn divorce agreement? She got into a car accident! You're so useless! After all these years, what have you ever done besides staying home and living off me? Fine. You want a divorce, right? Let's do it, then!"He signed the agreement that left me with nothing and threw it in my face. "Come with me to the hospital and apologize to Sylvia!"Then, he dragged me out of the office like an animal.-The moment we entered the hospital room, Sylvia s

The wife of the rich man sent me an invitation to a charity auction: [My husband is out of the country. Come with me.]I had planned to refuse, but my heart skipped a beat when I saw the list of the lots for auction.The emerald bracelet on it was my family heirloom. I had sold it for 1.2 million so that Jason could start his business. After Jason became successful, I tried to buy it back, but someone else had already bought it.My fists tightened. There was still money left in the account. I had saved somewhere between one and two million dollars over the years.No matter what, I had to get that bracelet back.I did not expect Jason and Sylvia to be there as well. "Clara, I'm moving into the villa tonight. Thank you for taking care of me from now on."Jason ordered me, too. "When we get back, prepare some chicken soup for her."I ignored them and waited anxiously for my family heirloom to appear.When the final lot was revealed, Jason stiffened beside me. Like me, he recognize

Sylvia continued with her taunting. "If it isn't because Jason still cares about you, do you think I'd be willing to live under the same roof as an old woman like you? Look at yourself. You're ten years older than me, and you're all washed up. If I were a man, I wouldn't want you either. Oh, I almost forgot. He promised me that all of his family's assets will go to the child in my belly and me. The only thing you get to keep is the title of bringing his wife. Hahaha!"I had accidentally put the call on speaker, so Ethan heard every word. He could not hold himself back and slammed his fist against the steering wheel, his eyes full of rage.But I stayed calm and asked one more question. "You were the one behind what happened to Lily, weren't you?""So what? Do you have proof? Do you think I'm scared? A housewife like you has no connections. No one will help you investigate the case. Besides, the baby and I are the most important people in that family now. Do you think they'll blame me

I ignored the other guests attending the party and walked inside.I made a beeline for Sylvia, who was holding a wineglass. She was wearing a custom-tailored gown, her belly slightly rounded as she paraded her waist and walked toward me. "Clara, why did you come dressed like this? You're not just embarrassing yourself. You're embarrassing Jason, too."I looked at her coldly. "Your belly doesn't look two months pregnant."The smile on her face vanished.The next second, she poured the entire glass of red wine over herself and cried out, "Clara, I know you hate me, but please don't hurt the baby! You can punish me however you want, but this child is Jason's whole life!"At that moment, a stern voice came from behind me. "You barren woman! If anything happens to my precious grandson, I'll make you pay!"It was Jason's mother, Kate. A young, handsome man was supporting her at her side. He looked younger than thirty.I smiled, picked up a glass of wine next to me, and splashed it rig
