Chapter 20%
“So that’s how it is. Then his daughter really was mistaken last time. How could he spoil someone who isn’t his own child for so many years, and then hurt his own wife?“&
People online were already starting to believe Dad’s version.
Rowen grew impatient when I didn’t respond.&
He was eager to provoke me. “Last time you cursed Rosalie, and she was heartbroken for a long time. But now that your mother is the one cheating, shouldn’t I also suspect that the child you had with me before isn’t yours either?“}
That hit me right in the pain.
I slammed the table and yelled, “Rowen! Do you think everyone’s like you? I might have been fooled before, but after marrying you, I wanted to have a good life with you. It was you who hurt me with your own hands, making me disappointed in you again and again.“}
“And the one cheating is you! Everyone in the house knows how you treated Rosalie when I was pregnant!“}
My voice broke with emotion.
Everyone in the house treated Rosalie like the lady of the house, fawning over her openly in front of me.
Rowen was stunned as though he hadn’t expected me to say that.}]
His business was doing better now, so he couldn’t afford problems.
He had planned to divorce me first, then announce his relationship with Rosalie, since her belly was getting too big to hide the news any longer.
Alicia, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Rowen tried to play dumb, but I couldn’t hold back anymore.§
Thinking about that child in the past made my heart ache, and tears began to fall.§
Jalen saw how deeply hurt! was and grew furious.
He grabbed Rowen by the collar and slammed him to the ground.§
Instantly, Rowen cried out in pain.§
“You scumbag! Do you really think cheating is justifiable? You told me you and Alice had feelings for each other–that’s the only reason I agreed to step aside. But this is how you treat someone you claim to love?” Jalen was enraged, throwing punch after punch at Rowen’s face.
Rowen couldn’t defend against Jalen’s blows, begging for mercy all the while.
However, Jalen wasn’t planning to stop.
“How dare you want Alice to leave empty–handed? Do you think all your money just appeared out of nowhere?“>
Jalen kept hitting him until Rowen’s head swelled badly.”
Seeing Rowen about to be beaten to death, I hurriedly stopped Jalen.”
He looked at me, thinking I regretted what we were doing.
I laughed, and explained, “I’m just worried you’ll hurt your hand. Besides, don’t forget what we’re here for.“}
Rowen lay gasping on the floor, regretting coming alone without backup.
I knelt down and handed him the divorce agreement again.”
“Sign it. Or don’t even think about leaving here today.”
Rowen spat out blood and stared at the agreement–he would have to leave with nothing.
But he still refused to sign.
Jalen punched him again, and Rowen spat out a tooth.
*Til sign!”
Rowen was terrified–he feared if he didn’t agree, he’d die right there.”
Even if he divorced me, losing access to my money didn’t matter. My father had already made arrangements for him. Rowen shot me a fierce look but shakily picked up the pen and signed his name!
Only then did I finally breathe a sigh of relief
I stood up and got ready to leave with Jalen I
Rowen propped himself up on a chair and warned, “Alicia, you’ll regret this!”
His speech was slurred from the lost tooth
I couldn’t help but laugh “Regret what? Rowen, you don’t really think I’m clueless about what you guys are up to, do you?”
I grabbed another of Rower’s phones from the table, paused the recording right in front of him, and then deleted all the files.!! “You want to file me up and find dirt on me. But neither my mother nor I did anything wrong, so give up on that.”
Seeing his plan fail, Rowen humed to contact Dad to report back
But the original livestream had already ended
Rowen froze. He remembered my father telling him to wait until his evidence arrived, so why had everyone disappeared now? He desperately sent messages to Dad, but there was no reply.&
