Chapter 1

I, Lynette Grant, had worked myself to the bone for the company for ten years in exchange for this subsidized apartment in the city center.This achievement came at the cost of a neck condition and stomach issues.Last month, I even had a discussion with Matthew Lowe in the living room.Once I got the keys, I would do a basic renovation and bring my in-laws from the village to stay here with us.However, I didn't know that he had forged my signature behind my back. He had given the apartment to the mother and son.I took out my phone with trembling hands. Then, I dialed Matthew's number.The call only got through after a long time.I heard a drilling sound and a child's laughter in the background. "I'm fixing the pipes for Rosie. Dear, what's wrong?""Why did you give Rosalie the keys to the apartment my company gave me?" I asked.There was dead silence on the other end of the line."I'm really busy right now." He hastily ended the call.When I called again, I heard a messag

"So, you gave my employee benefit away to please her? It took me ten years of youth and hard work to get that house!" I bellowed.Matthew's face was flushed red. The veins on his neck were bulging. "It's just an empty house. You're making a lot of money annually. We're also staying in a luxury apartment now!"You're capable of helping them. Why must you force me into doing this? Why do you have to back a mother and her son into a corner?"He twisted the narrative and put all the blame on me, calling me cruel.I pointed at the door. "You stole my house, so how is it my fault? Matthew, this is a fraud. It's illegal."His eyes flashed, but rage filled them in the next instant. "We're a couple. How is it a fraud when I'm just occupying your house?"You're too worked up right now. I can't communicate with you."Irritated, he tugged on his hair and grabbed the car key from the entrance. "I'm spending the night at the dorm. Both of us should calm down." He strode out of the house and

"What he did was an illegal transfer of marital assets."If you file for divorce, not only will he have to leave with nothing, but the third party, Rosalie, also has to return everything in full," Quinn explained.I stared at the glaring red circles calmly. "What about my apartment?""The subsidized apartment is an employee-exclusive benefit for you. He's violated the company's policy by forging your signature." Quinn clasped her hands. Her gaze was piercing. "If you allow me to, I can issue a legal notice to his workplace."At the same time, you have to submit a formal declaration to your company's logistics and security departments and make them kick out irrelevant personnel."I nodded and signed my name on the authorization letter without hesitation."Quinn, there's one more thing." I raised my head, my gaze cold."They were talking like a married couple in the recording. It's too strange. Please hire a private investigator and find out who Zachary's biological father is.

The recording ended, and dead silence ensued in the living room.All color drained from Matthew's face instantly. It was as if someone had slapped him hard across the face.His lips were trembling as he questioned, "Did you… Did you secretly follow me?""I didn't have to do that." I stared at him nonchalantly."I went to check out my own house and happened to hear how you guys planned to leech off me."He stumbled backward in panic and knocked over the floor lamp next to him."Lyn, let me explain myself." His arrogance vanished in mere seconds, and he plastered that ingratiating look back on his face."Rosalie meant no harm. She's too insecure to take care of her son by herself. I was just comforting her. I lent her 380 thousand dollars. I'll make her write a promissory note."He was still trying to make up excuses to cover up his lies.Without saying a word, I grabbed my bag and went into the bedroom.I left him explaining himself outside the room.…The next morning, I se

I cried for a really long time.I raised my head and pulled a piece of tissue from the box to wipe the tears off my face."Quinn." My voice was hoarse. "I want him to leave with nothing. I want the three of them to return everything they've taken from me."Staring at me, Quinn gave me a firm nod. "I've got this."I rose to my feet and pushed the glass door open.From today on, the kind and forgiving Lynette was dead.…I went home right after leaving the law firm.I got a locksmith to replace the smart fingerprint lock of the main door with a new lock.After that, I grabbed the two biggest trash bags from my walk-in closet.I tossed Matthew's suits, neckties, shaver, and a few pairs of his favorite leather shoes into the bags.I packed all his belongings, including his cheap disguise and fake smiles.Then, I placed the two trash bags in the corridor outside the house.At 3:00 pm, Matthew's calls kept coming in. I rejected his calls and blocked his number right away.In le

Rosalie, who was still in her pajamas with disheveled hair, sat near the greenery below the apartment.Next to her were her clothes and belongings that the security guards had cleared out.Zachary was sitting on the floor and crying.Rosalie wasn't gentle and weak like she usually was. She was cursing and screaming at the security guards at the guardhouse.At noon, my phone rang.It was a call from an unknown number, and I pressed the answer button."Lynette, are you crazy?" Rosalie's sharp voice pierced my ears."How could you ask someone to kick us out? You've always been so kind. Have you been putting on an act?"Do you know how terrified Zachary is? He's still running a fever!"She was still trying to guilt-trip me with the child.I took a sip of my black coffee. "If your son is running a fever, you should go to his biological dad, Matthew. Why did you come to me, the idiot you guys fooled for three years?"Rosalie fell silent.I could only hear her heavy breathing. "Oh

"Besides, the 380 thousand dollars was obtained illegally. The third party, Rosalie, must pay it back in full!"Matthew's face went as white as a ghost. He turned to look at me. His eyes turned red.He suddenly slid down the chair and got on his knees in front of the table.He placed both hands on the floor and moved forward on his knees.He tried to grab my pant leg. "Lyn, back then, you would be so distressed that you couldn't sleep when I worked overtime and came home late."Rosalie deceived me! She kept brainwashing me, saying that you looked down on me and that I was just an accessory to you."My ego got the better of me. I couldn't think straight for a moment and wanted to regain my dignity!"Considering that we've been married for years and for the sake of Ethan, don't take things to such lengths, okay?"I've been terminated as punishment. I don't even have a job now! If you take away the 380 thousand dollars, Rosalie and I won't even be able to afford a meal out there!"

Chapter 8

The sharp cracks of slaps echoed in the empty garage."I'm sorry. I've realized my mistakes! I'm such a jerk. I was so blinded that I cherished someone who only wanted to harm me. "Lyn, give me another chance! I'm not hoping that you'll remarry me. I'm willing to be your servant and serve you!"Let me go home. It's really cold in the basement I'm sleeping in. I can't even afford a proper meal every day!" Matthew cried.His knees rubbed against the concrete floor as he reached out for my legs.I pressed the car key.The headlights flickered, and the light shone on his ghastly face.I looked down at him condescendingly without a hint of sympathy in my gaze."Matthew, look at you now. You disgust me. You don't need a maid who cooks for you, but someone whom you can continue to leech off. I'm sorry, but I think you're too filthy for me."I grabbed my phone and called the management office. "Someone is making a scene in the garage of Zone B. Please bring someone over to deal with
