Chapter 40

“Enough, stop wasting your breath on her.“\
Brandon looked at me, trembling, wiping away his tears. “I’m completely disappointed in you. Get out! Get out of here! I can live just fine on my own and our son doesn’t need a mother like you. We’ll see each other in court!”
That last sentence was almost a roar, hoarse and furious.
I didn’t say a word. I turned around and left.”
Very soon, news of my divorce from Brandon spread all over the internet.
All kinds of exposés popped up one after another.”
Some said I was keeping dozens of toyboys.\
Some claimed I often frequented clubs.
Some even said I had illegitimate sons and daughters out there.
They even presented photos as so–called evidence.
I was nailed to the pillar of shame, labeled by netizens as a heartless, ungrateful woman who abandoned her husband and child–a despicable, shameless slut.”
But I chose to remain silent, offering no explanation.
It wasn’t until three days later that I finally appeared in court.

Bella chimed in from the side, “You’re clearly in the wrong. You’re bound to lose the case and walk away with nothing. How will you even survive after that? Who would want anything to do with you? You’d better give in now, or you’ll end up sleeping on the streets.“[
Brandon’s parents sat with stern expressions.
“Claire,” said his father, “I hope you seriously consider the consequences. You don’t stand a chance trying to divide assets just because Brandon sleeps with a teddy bear.“}
Faced with their persuasion, I said nothing and calmly walked over to sit beside Ethan.”
The Shaw family all let out cold snorts in unison.
The trial began.
After reviewing the materials submitted by Brandon, the judge turned to me and said, “Sleeping with a teddy bear is not sufficient to constitute fault on the husband’s part. However, the husband has submitted fifty intimate photos of you with other men. If you are unable to provide new evidence, this court will judge you as the party at fault based on the current facts.“%
I stood up and responded, “I have evidence.”
What followed was about to be a great show.”
