After Finding Out My Identity, He Regretted the Divorce
Chapter 3
I suddenly remembered my life before I met Andrew.
My family wasn’t as rich and influential as the Jones family, but it still had a small influence in the business world.
Until one day, my father fell into a trap set by one of his competitors and our family went bankrupt. My father fell into depression and started abusing me and my mother.
The peak was when my father decided he couldn’t take it anymore. Before I knew it, he was gone from this world, leaving me and my mother with tons of debts we needed to pay off.
Not long after, my mother fell ill. I had to work a lot of jobs to pay for the hospital bills and the debts.
I knew that my mother seemed like she had given up on life. However, she was the only relative that I have left in this world, so I didn’t give up on her.
A heart disease is harder to cure compared to physical disease. The mental illness that my mother has also caused her body to begin suffering. She started to have a lot of complications and that led to chronic illness.
I had taken a job in the hospital then so that I could take care of her more closely. I couldn’t just leave her alone with none to watch over her.
The first time I met Andrew, it was when I was assigned to take care of his grandma.
“Stay here for a bit.” She often said, and that was when Andrew arrived that I was allowed to leave.
Grandma knew about my condition, and she often paid me for working overtime to accompany her. I genuinely liked her and wanted to refuse, but because I also needed it, I could only convince myself and take the money.
From then on, I also began to have more contact with Andrew and we also exchanged each other’s number to keep track of his schedule. When he couldn’t be there, I would watch over Grandma.
“You have a beautiful and soothing voice.” He often praised me.
My face was obviously very different from Olivia, but he was attracted to me because of my voice. When Olivia put effort into it, indeed, she did have a beautiful voice.
Later, through Grandma, Andrew found out about my condition; like how I was supposed to take care of the medical bills and pay the family’s debts bit by bit.
He used this chance to propose a marriage contract with me. Seeing that Grandma also approved of me, he might as well take the chance so that she would stop pestering him to get married.
I didn’t have much choice back then. Some debts were nearing their due date, and I still needed to pay for the hospital bills. Andrew promised to help pay for all those, so I agreed.
Seeing me struggling too much, my mother truly gave up, and she passed away not long after.
Andrew helped me to cope with the reality that I had lost her.
Those reminiscences almost made me get drowned in them.
The reality was indeed more painful. Shortly after my mother died, it was also not long before I found out that Andrew had been treating me as a substitute for someone else all along.
I wanted to break our marriage, but I still needed to go through it so I could pay all the debts. It was unknown what those loan sharks would do to me if I could not pay them.
So, I could only grit my teeth and follow through.
Olivia appeared in our fifth year of marriage. She crushed all the delusions I had, and she also made sure that Andrew would hate me.
She was very good at framing people and even managed to draw Kevin, who had convinced me previously that Andrew loved me, to her side. They were trying their best to torture and get rid of me.
Originally, Andrew still gave me excellent treatment even after Olivia appeared. However, after various successful attempts at making me look like a jealous, greedy, and villainous woman, they succeeded. Andrew became colder and colder with me.
“Watch your mouth, wench!”
I felt a stinging pain on my forehead as I snapped back to reality. Kevin was fuming angrily as he threw the bitten apple to me.
“Is what I am saying not true?” I raised my eyebrow at him. He was so easily provoked. No wonder that he made troubles everywhere outside, gradually smearing the family’s name. Olivia would be his backing if he wanted to stay in the Jones family.
He threw me a glare. “Just wait, my brother will divorce you soon and he will marry Olivia.”
“After that, you should cooperate a bit with us.” He paused and smirked mockingly at me. “You need to disappear from our lives.”
“Is this how you are going to explain to Grandma?” I asked him.
I was sure that it was Olivia who had hatched this plan. She wanted me as far away as possible.
“You don’t need to care about our Jones family business anymore. It’s not your place.” Kevin sneered and then he threw me a document on his way out.
I looked at the paper and fell into a slight daze. Andrew was quick in preparing and sending me the divorce paper.
