When My Ex Found Out My Secret
Chapter 2
On the way home, I bought myself a cake.
When I entered the house, Wallace saw the cake in my hand.
He said with sarcasm, "You don't deserve a birthday cake."
I watched him trample the cake and said nothing.
Actually, it was not my birthday. However, after midnight, I could get 100 thousand houses in the downtown area.
Therefore, I bought a cake to celebrate.
I had lived with him for three years, but he couldn't even tell if it was my birthday.
As usual, I prepared his bathrobe and towel for his bath.
I put a cup of milk on the nightstand.
Then, I sat quietly in the living room until midnight.
A bell rang in my mind.
"Congratulations! You've completed the task and got 100 thousand houses in the downtown area."
I took a deep breath and checked the 10-foot-high property certificates in front of me one by one.
It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that I finished the check.
"Ding!" My phone rang. It was Wallace's mistress who sent me a message: [There's a power outage at my house. Can you come and help me fix the switch?]
I replied: [Call your mom.]
Then, I blocked her.
I found the divorce agreement.
When I came to Wallace's bed, he was sleeping soundly.
I raised my hand and slapped him three times.
He woke up off guard. Blue veins stood out on his temples. He growled, "Do you want to die?"
I sneered, "Let's divorce."
I threw the divorce agreement in his face. He couldn't believe it and sneered, "What? I must have misheard. The bootlicker wants to divorce me. What tricks are you playing?"
"I mean it."
I didn't want to talk to him, so I picked up my suitcase and left.
"You've gone to great lengths to get my attention. I want to see how regretful you'll be after I sign the divorce agreement."
He grabbed the pen and signed it neatly.
I smiled and immediately grabbed the divorce agreement.
I said, "Once you sign it, you can't regret it."
He stopped me.
"I'm waiting for you to come back and beg me."
I ignored him. Seeing that, he said contemptuously, "Do you want a breakup fee? Is 500 thousand dollars enough?"
I pushed him away and walked out the door.
Finally, I said, "There's a power outage at the Best Actress's house. Fix it for her."
The Best Actress was Wallace's mistress. She was portrayed as a pure and innocent girl in show biz, but she secretly gave birth to a son for Wallace.
Wallace hated me so much because of Vera, the Best Actress. I once saved Wallace's mom. Wallace's mom had realized that Vera was a hypocrite and forced Wallace into marrying me. Wallace hated me and thought that he and his lovers could not get married because I had played tricks to confuse his mom.
I endured all kinds of torture and finally got through it.
After leaving the villa, I immediately called a real estate agent.
"I'm selling a house."
The real estate agent was silent for three seconds. Then, he replied, "I'll be there right now."
Twenty minutes later, the agent stood in front of me with a smile.
"You have found the right person. I can help you sell your house within 24 hours."
I nodded.
I asked him, "Can you help me rent out the remaining 99,999 houses? They are all in the downtown area, so it won't be hard to rent them out."
The agent was so shocked that he widened his eyes. He stammered after a long while, "You... Just leave it to me. I will make you satisfied."
The agent was helpful. The next day, I had 100 million dollars in my account.
He spent two weeks renting out all my houses.
The monthly rent was about 10 million dollars.
I used the money to buy stocks and funds and invest in real estate instead of buying cars or houses.
I also contacted some luxury stores in advance and planned to go over and take a look. I would buy some stores.
When I walked into a luxury store, I heard a familiar voice.
"Valery, why are you in a luxury store? Can you afford anything here? Stop pretending to be rich. Get out now. Don't dirty the floor."
Vera, a popular actress in show biz, wore a hat and a mask. She held the hand of a boy.
Although I couldn't see her face, I knew she was sarcastic.
"Is your store a supermarket? How come anyone can be here? Get her out."
The waiter came up and pushed me.
"Get out!"
At that moment, my bracelet fell to the ground.
The diamonds scattered everywhere.
The bracelet was a gift the bank president gave me the day before. Since I was an important depositor, the bank president took me seriously. He sent the bracelet to me and put it on my hand.
Vera took a glance at the bracelet.
"Valery, you can't afford a diamond bracelet like this. You wear a fake for your vanity."
The waiter agreed with disdain, "Yes, people like her are the most annoying. There is nothing in their wallets, but they are vain. They are different from you. Is your necklace the Ocean Star? It was sold at an auction a few days ago for eight million dollars?"
Vera raised her chin and touched the big blue diamond.
She said happily, "Yes, my boyfriend proposed to me with it yesterday. He went to the bathroom."
I said coldly, "The one on your neck is fake. I didn't expect that Wallace, a president, to propose with a fake necklace."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Vera was so angry that her chest heaved.
Her son pouted and helped Vera. "Get lost, you ugly woman! You are jealous of my mom because she have stolen your husband."
Zoya quickly covered the boy's mouth to stop him from speaking.
Otherwise, others might find out that she was a mistress.
"The real one is at my house, and you're showing off with a fake. I'm ashamed of you. Go home and look in the mirror. The implant in your nose is crooked."
She was exposed in public, so she raised her hand to slap me.
I dodged and slapped her hard.
"Stop!"
There came a voice, and the boy ran over and looked up at his father. He complained, "The bad woman wanted to bully Mom. Dad, get someone to beat her up."
As soon as Vera saw Wallace coming out of the bathroom, she burst into tears and said softly, "I... I don't blame her. I know Valery is angry at me. It's OK for her to vent her anger to me. It's all because I love you too much and can't give you to her."
There was disgust in Wallace's eyes.
"Valery, I'm disappointed with you. You used to be obedient, but now you use such despicable means to attract my attention. You are so shameless."
He held Vera in his arms and patted her gently to comfort her.
I was about to speak when I saw the boy holding a high-heeled shoe. The sharp heel was pointing at my thigh, so I quickly dodged.
I held the boy's clothes and grabbed the high heel.
I did what he wanted to do to me to him.
He suddenly screamed in pain.
Zoya rushed over and tore my hair.
"How dare you bully my son?"
I was tough.
"He's just a bastard. Why should I be afraid of him?"
I fought with them and soon gained the upper hand. Vera had a bruised face and messy hair. She was pinned to the ground by me, but my clothes were neat, and I didn't even breathe heavily.
Wallace shamelessly joined in and wanted to kick me.
However, someone stopped him.
"Stop!"
Wallace was so indignant that his index finger almost touched my nose. "You must be the store manager. Deal with this lunatic. I don't want to see her."
The store manager looked at me. Then, he turned to look at Wallace.
"I'm sorry. She is our distinguished guest. Please don't boss her around."
Everyone present was stunned.
