The 101st Betrayal
Chapter 3
After discussing the details of the assets division, I saw a message from Fannie.
"There's something urgent. Come to my company."
For me, it didn't matter if something happened to her. But if something happened to the company, I would get less money.
As soon as I arrived at the front desk, I heard a burst of laughter.
The girls at the front desk called Evan with a smile.
"Evan, you're right. As long as you send a message through Mrs. Murphy's phone, he will run over happily like a pug."
Soon Evan came out of the elevator.
"Edwin, are you here for Mrs. Murphy? She's busy and doesn't want to see outsiders."
He deliberately emphasized the word "outsider".
Now, in everyone's eyes, Evan was Fannie's acknowledged lover.
As a live-in son-in-law, I was just an outsider.
I pointed at the group of people who had laughed at me just now. "You guys, pack up and leave."
This company was founded by Fannie and I. I owned a lot of shares. It would be a piece of cake for me to sack a few employees.
Evan immediately put on a straight face.
"What right do you have to show off here? Mrs. Murphy and I will take care of everything."
I couldn't be bothered to argue. Just as I was about to call Fannie, I saw her walking over.
"Why are you here?"
I thought that she would be angry. After all, every time I came to her before, she felt that I had embarrassed her and was very impatient with me.
But this time, there seemed to be a hint of pride in her tone.
Evan was the first to complain.
"I don't know why Edwin made such a scene as soon as he arrived. He said that I seduced you and wanted to fire us."
"Edwin!" Fannie's face immediately turned cold.
"I can accept that you are stupid and ugly, but your suspicious look makes me sick."
She sighed again. "I really regret marrying you."
The girls around them covered their mouths and sneered.
Evan looked at me with a victorious look.
But it was strange that I didn't feel anything.
Or perhaps, I had already known that Fannie would say that.
When she first cheated on me, our friends advised her not to abandon a lover who started the business with her hand in hand.
She said, "Do you know how suffocating he is? Anyone who is with him can't help having an affair. He deserves to be abandoned by his family.
"He makes a fuss about everything and doesn't care about his own figure. He is a failure."
I gained weight to help her socialize.
After knowing what she had said, I felt inferior and frustrated all day long.
Food made me nauseous.
I got stomach problems because of this.
Then I didn't dare to attend any dinner party or meet anyone.
My weight was under control gradually, but my stomach disease could not be cured.
As a result, I had always been weak.
"Why don't you say anything? Are you feeling guilty? No wonder we lost Alyssa. A man like you doesn't deserve to be a husband or a father."
At the mention of the lost child, my heart suddenly ached.
Every time we quarreled, Fannie would hurt me the most effective way.
She forced me to get angry and argue with her and then laughed at my hysteria with a smug expression.
But this time, I was very calm.
"Then don't force yourself. I've already prepared the divorce agreement. Let's get a divorce."
I handed the divorce agreement to Fannie and pulled off a strand of brownish-yellow hair from her body.
Fannie was flustered slightly.
"It's not what you think..." She quickly recovered and sighed. "Don't make a fool of yourself. I don't have the patience to forgive and tolerate you again and again."
I continued to stare at her and saw that she was beginning to panic.
Then, I tried my best to remain calm and said something that I had been trying to say for a long time.
"You don't deserve to mention Alyssa. I already know the real reason why you had a miscarriage on the day I was injured."
The day of the miscarriage was the turning point of our marriage.
It was also the beginning of Fannie and Evan's affair.
I had been avoiding the cruel truth for a long time. Now, I had to make up my mind to face it.
"Edwin!" Fannie panicked.
I said despite my heartache. "Do you want me to tell the truth in front of so many people here?"
