Chapter 2

I have been married to Marlon for ten years and have a daughter named Nancy.

Women were weak, but we became strong when we became mothers.

For her, I was willing to go to Adrician and endure hardships.

I never expected that I would end up buying the apartment for someone else.

Usually, my husband was a dedicated supporter of his younger brother.

He always thought of his precious younger brother whenever there was something delicious or valuable at home.

He claimed, "An elder brother is like a father".

In the past, I turned a blind eye and let it go.

If I continue to endure now, I must have lost my mind!

I would fulfill him since he was willing to be someone else's father.

My daughter didn't need a father who was in contempt.

I consulted a professional lawyer.

The lawyer responded that such a large amount of marital joint property, unilaterally loaned to another individual, was invalid, and I had the right to sue for its recovery.

I was full of fighting spirit, kissed my daughter, and sent her to my mother's place.

I changed the lock at home to a fingerprint lock, packed up Marlon's personal belongings, and called a local express delivery to send them to his company.

I intended to declare to the world that I had banished that despicable man from my life!

I was organizing the evidence when I heard the sound of the fingerprint lock alarm at the door.

I opened the door and saw Carina and Anna coming in.

I crossed my arms and blocked the door, "What's the matter? Do you want to break into my apartment in broad daylight? You know so much about the law; don't you know that burglary carries a heavy sentence?"

Carina knelt at the door and knocked her head against the floor crazily. "If you've got a problem, deal with me directly! Why are you so ruthless towards your own man? You're so vicious. Woo, my poor son!"

I casually replied, "What's wrong? Is your son dead? Why are you crying so sadly? Well, you should be sad. The parasite's host is dead; you should be sad!"

Carina, who was pretending to be pitiful, couldn't hold it anymore, "You're dead; your whole family is dead."

Anna also came out to support, "Sandra, I must say, a couple should be kind to each other. How could you treat Marlon like that? Is there someone else in your life? Why did you treat him so harshly? Even if you are jealous that we moved to a new apartment, you shouldn't have been so violent towards Marlon!"

I listened to Carina and Anna's words; it seemed like there was good news!

"What's wrong? Did Marlon Lambert, that jerk, get what he deserved? That's great; such a monster who disregards his own family deserves to be stopped from procreating. Also, from today onwards, you have no relationship with me anymore. Don't blame me for being impolite if you dare to come to my door and cause trouble."

Carina could not argue her point with me and tried to rush over to fight me. I accidentally brushed her with the door to protect myself, causing her to react with a loud outcry.

I asked my acquaintance at the hospital for some information.

Uh, Marlon's injuries were indeed quite serious.

I, a weak woman, was able to leave Adrician unscathed after eight years. It was definitely because I had some fundamental martial skills.

Marlon knew he was at fault, so he didn't dare to sue me either.

Marlon was such a selfless and loving man that he must be shown off in front of the public.

I directly signed up for a local reality emotional adjustment program.

In the program, I tearfully recounted my story.

From how I gathered the courage to venture into Adrician for the sake of my beloved daughter, to the various deadly dangers I encountered in Adrician, to the joy of finally saving enough money to buy an apartment, and ultimately to all my wishes turning into nothingness.

The experienced host, Peter, shed tears.

The barrage of comments keeps scrolling non-stop in the live broadcast room.

"Was this guy born under a bad sign or something? He sure seems to have a knack for getting into trouble."

"Yes, yes, words can't describe how stupid he is."

"Sandra, quickly cut your losses in time. Divorce with this kind man quickly!"

"Is the nephew closer than the daughter? Are you sure he's really your nephew?"

This comment caught my attention.

In front of all the viewers in the live stream, I presented the relevant evidence I had prepared beforehand.

That included my eight-year salary records at Adrician, my transfer documents to Marlon, and the initial communication records with the landlord, among other relevant documents.

I didn't expect that the production team actually invited Marlon to the scene as a special guest.

To my surprise, Marlon, who had just been discharged from the hospital, unexpectedly showed up.

As soon as he got on stage, he started talking nonsense, "Sandra, I'm doing this for your own good!"

I remained silent, waiting for this idiot to expose his own shortcomings.

Peter asked with curiosity, "Mr. Lambert, please elaborate."

Marlon argued convincingly, "With only Nancy as our daughter, we don't have a son to back her up in the family."

"Seamus is Nancy's closest person in this world. And when Nancy grows up, knowing she has a brother from her birth family will give her the confidence within her husband's family."

"My love for Nancy is profound. Sandra, I have reasons for doing all this. I am doing it for the good of our daughter!"

"Besides, while we have a good relationship with Seamus now, we will have someone to rely on when we get old."

Peter interrupted, "Mr. Lambert, your ideas appear to be rooted in the last century. They hardly resonate as words from someone with a higher education."

Marlon widened his eyes and exclaimed, "What's the issue with a higher education? We cannot simply discard the legacies of our forebears!"

"Does being well-read keep one from growing old?"

"What will we do without a boy to support us when we get old?"

Peter was shocked and speechless by Marlon's ridiculous remarks.

He stuttered and said, "Mr. Lambert, time to wake up! We're in the modern times now!"

My husband sneered, "People like you who disrespect the wisdom of our ancestors will not have a good ending!"

The screen in the live broadcast studio was virtually inundated with a deluge of barrage comments.

"How pitiful; when a girl looks for a husband, she must find someone with normal intelligence."

"Don't casually find such a jerk!"

"Precisely, precisely, individuals who behave like this shouldn't be marrying and starting families!"
