But I wouldn’t budge.
I would never forgive those who hurt my child.
As for Samuel, Rachel, and Leo, they couldn’t even leave their house anymore.
Online, people were calling Samuel an ungrateful dog and Leo a little wolf.
Daily, people threw rotten eggs and splashed red paint on their door.
But this was just the beginning.
In just a few days, I filed for divorce, sued for marital assets, and accused Samuel of embezzling company funds.
Samuel tried to go to the company, but his access card had already been deactivated. He was locked outside.
He used to see himself as an executive, above everyone else.
Now, not only had Flying Group fired him, but no other company would hire such a shameless person either.
He attempted to reach out to former colleagues to start a new venture, but they all blocked him.
He came to confront me, demanding:
“Did you tell them to mess with my business contacts?”
I just found it hilarious:
“Samuel, you’re nothing now. Who would want to associate with someone like you?”
I ignored his shouting and had security escort him out.
He yelled loudly:
“I’m the man of this house, the general manager of Flying! How dare you—” He shouted at the top of his lungs:
“I’m the head of this household, the general manager of Flying! How dare you lay a finger on me!”
But nobody listened. They tossed him out like an unwanted stray.
The divorce trial kicked off soon after, sparking fresh debates online.
His infidelity was so outrageous that it created a huge social backlash, leaving him with nothing after the divorce.
Unsatisfied, he caused a scene in court. The judge had the bailiffs hold him back.
The comments online came pouring in:
“This is so satisfying!”
“Karma for that jerk!”
“Serves him right!”
Then came the news of his illegal embezzlement of company funds, with enough solid proof to send Samuel to prison for a few years.
Just a few days later, he blocked my car on my usual way to work.
He looked completely worn out, with a scruffy beard and hair going gray. The confidence he once had was gone, replaced by desperation.
He half-bowed, finally admitting defeat.
“Quincy, I was wrong. I’ve sorted things out with Rachel. I swear I won’t contact her again.”
“I’m Lily’s father, after all. Please forgive me for her sake.”
“Quincy, let’s remarry. Give Lily a complete family again. I’ll come back to Flying, even as a director. I don’t need to be the general manager.”
As I sat in my luxury car, I glanced coldly at Samuel through the partially opened window.
“Samuel, you think too highly of yourself. Where were you when Lily needed you at elementary school?”
“How dare you bring up Lily?!”
