Leon scoffed, “What do you mean? Danna is obviously my wife. We’ve been married for years, and all our neighbors know this.”
Nicole spat, “Disgusting.” She turned to Mark and asked, “Are you Danna’s boss? You must help her. She left my house just this morning and looked perfectly fine, but this bitch claims she’s sick in the hospital. Danna must have been hidden away by them. She’s trying to replace Danna and go abroad!”
Mark’s expression darkened. “Is that so?” He waved his hand, and immediately several security guards stormed into the Hale residence, bringing me out bound.
The commotion drew a large crowd. People began pointing fingers at Leon.
“Leon always seemed so gentle. I never imagined he could be so cruel. Danna looks seriously injured.”
“Yeah. Ariel is the child of his deceased comrade. Even if he wants to treat her well, he shouldn’t cheat. Is he stupid?”
“Haven’t you noticed how Ariel looks at Leon with loving eyes? There’s definitely something going on between them!”
“How shameless!”
Leon’s face instantly turned pale. The good reputation he had

built over the years vanished. “Danna, explain this quickly!”

I spat out the cloth gag in my mouth and looked at the red marks left on my body from being tied up, feeling nothing but disappointment and anger. “Leon, we have no relationship anymore. What do you want me to explain?”
Leon and Ariel exchanged glances, then he looked at me. “What do you mean?”
Mark handed me a document. “Ms. Garner, these are the divorce papers I rushed through especially for you. Have a look?”
I gave Mark a genuine smile. “Thank you, Mr. Campos. I’ll never forget the help you’ve given me.” Then I threw the divorce certificate at Leon. “See for yourself what this is.”
Leon trembled as he took it, looking at me in disbelief. “Danna, are you joking? You even dare to forge divorce papers!”
Ariel said, “That’s right, Danna. Even if you’re fighting with Leon, you shouldn’t do something like this. Just apologize to
Leon.”
Mark looked at me sympathetically. “Ms. Garner, your judgment in the past seems to have been somewhat lacking.” His words were tactful.
I agreed, “Yes, I was too foolish before, but I won’t make the

Mark smiled with satisfaction. “That’s good. There are many good men among those being sent abroad. If you like any of them, I can introduce you.”
I declined. “Mr. Campos, I just want to focus on my career right
now.”
Realizing we were serious, Leon panicked, feeling that things were slipping out of his control. He quickly went inside and dragged Zayn out. “Danna, are you abandoning your son?”
Zayn kept his head down. “Dad, it’s useless. I can feel that Mom really doesn’t want us anymore!”
Leon slapped him on the head. “Shut up!”
I looked at Zayn, who clearly seemed more mature now, and felt nothing but irony. In my previous life, I was so good to Zayn, sacrificing almost everything for him, but he never appreciated it. Now that I didn’t want him anymore, he seemed to understand the suffering I’d endured all these years.
I looked at them coldly and said, “Don’t you understand? We’re already divorced. I don’t want you anymore. Zayn is your child, so of course I don’t want him either.”
Leon stared at me, feeling I had become a complete stranger. “Just because I asked you to give your job to Ariel, you’re divorcing me and going abroad?”
