Chapter <b>7 </b>
Every word I said hit Alex where it hurt. []
He kept his head down, his expression terrifyingly dark.[]
But Tori flew into a rage, charging at Morrison and me while shrieking. I
“What a load of crap! I bet you and this home–wrecker have been having an affair all along, trying to dump Alex so you can run off together! You bit-“]
Before she could finish saying <b>“</b>bitch,” I grabbed a cymbal from one of the banddies and nged it over her head.
“Is it your turn to talk? Still running your mouth?“]
Tori burst into tears.
Alex pulled her behind him, his eyes darkly scanning between Morrison and me: “You’re pretty eager to leave – did she hit a nerve?”
Unexpectedly, a young woman stepped out from the marching band and spoke up first. []
“I don’t know if she’s nervous, but I can see you’re cornered like a rat.” The girl walked over to Morrison and linked her arm through his: “I’m Morrison’s girlfriend – surprise! I even sponsored these banners! You cheating scumbags have no right to trash Morrison and Penny’s friendship!“]
Alex finallypletely panicked: “Penny, I was wrong.“[]
I pped him across the face: “Get lost!“]
Tori screamed and lunged to bite me, so I backhanded her too: “You get lost too!“]
Before leaving, I pointed at Alex’s nose: “Remember – walking away with nothing is thest dignity you’ll have.“]
Tori clutched her face, ring at me viciously: “In your dreams! If anyone’s leaving, it’s you!“[]
The banddies who’d been silent exchanged nces: “Should we?<b>” </b>“If you do, I will!” “Get them!“[]
I left the chaos and screaming behind me. On the way back, I felt numb like an empty shell. With my heart dead, I actually felt lighter. []
Those memories that used to hurt just thinking about them couldn’t stir even the slightest ripple now.
“So infuriating! But if Alex deliberately drags out the <b>divorce</b><b>, </b>that’ll be annoying,” Morrison said through gritted teeth.[]
“He won’t. He’s a smart guy who cares about <b>face</b><b>,</b><b>” </b>I smiled faintly. <b>“</b>I have ways to make him beg me for this divorce on his knees.”
Yesterday’s livestream had already gone viral online. <b>[</b><b>] </b>
When the Nth rtive came <b>to </b>“check <b>on</b><b>” </b><b>Alex</b>, he wanted to defend himself in the family group chat first, but his message
showed he’d been removed – by his father.]
He furiously messaged his dad: “Whose side are you on?“]
His father only replied: “Who is this?<b>” </b>
Alex’s face darkened: <b>“</b><b>If </b>Mom finds out how you’re treating me, she’ll definitely divorce you!” But the message failed to send – he’d been blocked.]]
Breathing heavily, he messaged his mother toin, but received a “disownment letter” instead. []
Furious and twisted with rage, he then saw his mother’s new social media post. []
A photo of her hugging me tight with the caption: “Damn it! The nurse must have switched babies at birth – I raised a piece of shit and lost my real daughter.“[]
Alex nearly smashed his phone. []
Yeah, when his mother was seriously ill for three years, I was the one who cared for her day and night until she recovered. []
When his father got in a fight with someone, I was the one who rushed forward and took that potentially fatal blow.
As he was throwing a tantrum in his office, smashing things, I appeared again with divorce papers and stock transfer agreements. “Sign them all.“]]
Alex turned away, refusing to look. I yanked him out of the CEO chair. He raged: “How dare you!“[]
I settledfortably in the chair and smiled: “You’ve been fired by the board!“]]
“On what grounds?” he demanded furiously.]
I threw another document in front of him: “Did Mr. Sterling really think I couldn’t find records of you embezzlingpany funds to buy Tori houses, cars, and luxury goods? Every transaction, crystal clear!“]]
“Sign the papers, or go to prison – your choice.“]]
