"Rachel, how am I supposed to cover our child's expenses? We need to buy more formula and diapers soon."The moment Rachel Stone said she wasn't giving me any money, the online post I'd read that afternoon flashed through my mind. My heart sank.Rachel's eyes darted away for a moment before she raised her voice self-righteously."Don't you still have some savings from when you were working? Use your own money for now. Everyone's going through a difficult time. You stay at home full-time, so you should understand how hard I'm working out there."Looking at the face I'd lived beside day after day, which now felt unbelievably cold and unfamiliar, all I felt was disbelief and bitterness."So, you're saying that from now on, every expense in this house, including your meals, has to come out from my savings?"She frowned, her face full of impatience and irritation."There's no 'yours' or 'mine.' We're married. Everything we have belongs to both of us! My career's hit a rough patch rig

"If we're getting divorced, then we'll go to the courthouse tomorrow. We'll split the assets 50-50, and Brian stays with me."After our conversation fell apart that night, Rachel stopped pretending to be kind. She dropped her gentle mask and began following the advice from the online post, giving me the silent treatment.Every day after work, she came home and ignored both me and Brian completely. She'd change her shoes, wash up, and then lock herself in the study. The whole routine flowed effortlessly.Living under the same roof, Brian and I might as well have been invisible to her. She wouldn't even spare us a glance, let alone play with or take care of her own child.I cooked three meals a day and set them on the table. Rachel wouldn't even look at them before ordering expensive takeout. When the food arrived, she'd feast on it right in front of us. Afterward, she'd leave the trash on the table without cleaning up, then head straight into the study, cold and indifferent.I watc

I never lacked the ability to earn money, nor the patience to raise a child. All I wanted was a complete, loving home for my son.Later, through mutual friends, I met Claire Hampton. During our first meeting, I was completely upfront about my past."Ms. Hampton, I believe our mutual friend already told you about my situation. I'm divorced, and I'm raising a young child on my own. But I own my own studio, and my income is stable."I'm looking for a partner who's emotionally mature, shares my values, and can genuinely accept my son. If you see my child as a burden, then let's just be friends."Claire was gentle and composed. She adjusted her glasses and smiled softly."Mr. Freeman, I've always wanted a stable, loving family. I love children, and I admire your honesty and sense of responsibility. We can take things slowly and get to know each other."Her sincerity and openness left a good impression on me. I decided to give the relationship a chance.Over the next six months, Clair

"I was working overseas to make money and support this family! I did it all for this family!" Rachel said."For this family?" I stepped closer, staring straight into Rachel's evasive eyes, each word piercing. "Who was it that posted online, plotting to cut off me and Brian's living expenses and force me into giving up custody?"Who deliberately stopped sending us money for three years, forcing me to use my savings just to get by? Who locked herself in the guest room and stood by coldly when her own child was burning with a high fever and crying in the middle of the night, refusing to help her own flesh and blood?"With every word I spoke, Rachel's face grew paler, until all her arrogance had completely vanished. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, staring at me with reddened eyes."So what if you took the house? Brian is my biological son. You stayed home for years without a stable job. What gives you the right to keep custody? I'm back now. I have a stabl

"All I have to do is submit the evidence to the industry association and her company's senior management. The rest will take care of itself."Claire handled things swiftly and decisively, never dragging her feet. Within a week, Rachel's punishment arrived right on schedule.That day, I was at the studio, coordinating with a client, when my phone suddenly rang with a call from Rachel. The moment I answered, her nearly hysterical roar exploded through the receiver, filled with despair and fury."Peter Freeman! Did you do this? Did you send those posts and all that evidence to my company?"I held the phone away from my ear, my voice calm and indifferent. "I have no idea what you're talking about."Her voice was hoarse with desperation. "Stop pretending! Now, everyone in the company knows what I did three years ago. HR just called me in. They're going to fire me for serious violation of the company's values and code of ethics. "I was about to be promoted to vice president! You've ru
