"Peter, will you only be happy once you've destroyed our entire family?" Rachel asked."Your family was the one that came here to cause trouble, spread rumors, defame, and harass me. I'm simply protecting my legal rights."My gaze remained cold and unwavering.Then, Rachel noticed Claire sitting quietly beside me. All the old and new resentment came rushing back at once. She lost control, clenched her fists, and charged forward."You're the outsider who keeps sticking your nose into our business! I'm going to teach you a lesson!"Claire's expression didn't change. She calmly stepped aside, caught Rachel by the wrist, and smoothly twisted her arm. She pinned the hysterical woman firmly against the mediation table, restraining her."Behave yourself!" The officers immediately stepped forward and restrained the struggling Rachel, issuing a stern warning. "You've got some nerve, causing a scene at the police station!"Rachel continued struggling and screaming hysterically when sudden

The judge carefully reviewed the evidence, his brows furrowing as his expression grew serious."Defendant Peter Freeman, state your requests."I rose calmly, my gaze sweeping over the defeated Rachel."I firmly oppose any change to the custody arrangement. At the same time, I request that the court order the plaintiff to pay a lump sum of 100 thousand dollars in child support for the three years during which she abandoned the child and to make monthly child support payments of three thousand dollars beginning this month until the child turns 18 years old.""100 thousand dollars?" Rachel instantly lost control, screaming with bloodshot eyes. "I have nothing now! I can't possibly come up with that much money! You're extorting me!""When you secretly transferred marital assets and heartlessly abandoned your child, you had far more than that amount in your possession," I shot back coldly.The courtroom arguments were over almost as soon as they began. The evidence was solid, and ever

That afternoon, Claire and I went to the preschool together to pick up Brian.We had just walked out of the school gate when a woman with tattered clothes, messy hair, and unkempt appearance suddenly came charging out from a street corner. It was Rachel, completely desolate. Her eyes were wild and her expression was almost feral. She threw her arms open and lunged toward Brian."Baby! It's me, Mommy! I'm your real mommy! Come here and let me hold you!"Terrified by her frightening appearance, Brian immediately burst into tears. He clung tightly to Claire's neck, burning his little face against her shoulder and trembling all over."Baby, don't be scared. Mommy's here. You're safe."Claire immediately pulled Brian protectively into her arms, soothing him gently. At the same time, she cautiously stepped back, shielding both me and Brian behind her.When Rachel saw how completely the child depended on Claire and how terrified he was of her, the madness in her eyes was instantly rep

"I heard Rachel took a manual labor job at a construction site in town a while back. Then, she got hit by a steel bar and broke her leg. She's a cripple now."Larry shook his head and continued, "Her parents curse her every day in the village, calling her a good-for-nothing divorcee. The whole family can barely afford to eat meat. No one in the village wants anything to do with them. They treat them like the plague."Listening to all this, I felt nothing."You reap what you sow." I lifted my coffee and looked calmly at Larry. Then, I added, "When she plotted against me, she should've known that it would come back to haunt her one day. "Larry, I still have some designs to revise. I'll get going."I walked out of the cafe and breathed in the fresh afternoon air.The woman who had once smugly posted online, plotting how to destroy her husband and tear her family apart, had ultimately schemed herself into an abyss where she had nothing left.Meanwhile, I had finally been given a
