  My lawyer stood up calmly, presenting a document."Your Honor, here's the evidence showing that Miss Carter transferred all her assets to her parents before the marriage and hasn't participated in Shalton Group's operations during the marriage."As for the plaintiff's claim that Miss Carter lived extravagantly during the marriage, that's completely unfounded. According to our investigation, Miss Carter lived frugally, and all her expenses came from her personal savings before the marriage."It was Mister Thomas Roberts who, during the marriage, misused Miss Carter's savings for investment without her consent, resulting in significant financial losses. Should Miss Carter be held responsible for that money as well?"That was true. Thomas had tricked me into helping him with investments, but he had used the money to buy a luxury car for Claire.My lawyer's words left Thomas and his family speechless."You're lying!" Thomas's face turned red. "She gave me that money willingly!"Will

  A few months passed uneventfully, and just when I was about to forget that crazy family existed, they reappeared in my life in a ridiculous way.On Valentine's Day, a notification popped up on my phone.[Former popular star, Claire, spotted fighting with her boyfriend on the street; relationship rumored to be breaking.]Curious, I clicked on it.In the video, Claire looked heavily pregnant, her hair was messy, and she was screaming at Thomas. "Thomas! Are you even a man? A stupid crystal ball for Valentine's? You were never like this when you were with Serena! I must've been blind to have fallen for you!"You're just a useless man! Trash!"Thomas did not hold back, either. He looked disheveled and unshaven, with messy hair and scratches on his face. He no longer had the demeanor of a company vice president, looking more like a street thug."And you've got the nerve to say that? What about you? No income for months, and I'm the one supporting you! You're just spending my money, a

  I returned to the Carter family home. As soon as I stepped inside, I saw my mom sitting on the couch, scrolling through her phone and laughing so hard she was almost doubled over."Mom, what are you looking at that's making you so happy?" I asked with a smile as I poured myself a cup of tea."What else? I'm watching your dear husband and his beloved mistress!"My mom chuckled and handed me her phone. "Just look at these comments, it's so satisfying!"I took the phone from her. The screen displayed Claire's social media comment section, which had turned into a massive unfollowing frenzy.[So she was the third party all along? How could she!][What a joke! Ruining someone else's marriage while pretending to be innocent? Get out of the entertainment industry!][With that fake act, how does she even have fans? Are they all blind?][Boycott immoral celebrities! Claire, leave the industry!]I casually scrolled through, and nearly all the comments were attacking Claire. My mom's tact

  When my mom saw the defeated look on Thomas's face, she was in a great mood. She gently patted the back of my hand and said softly, "Serena, don't be afraid. With your parents here, no one can bully you!"Margaret, hearing that, jumped up aggressively. She pointed at my mom and shouted, "Oh, wow! Anyone would think your family is some royalty! Let me remind you—my son, Thomas, is the Vice President of Shalton Group!"My dad looked at her coldly, his gaze full of mockery. "Is that so? Let's see how high your son can fly without the Shalton Group to support him!"Thomas froze briefly, stubbornly asking, "What...what do you mean?"Ignoring him, my dad turned to his assistant and said, "Send word to the Shalton Group. We're no longer interested in accommodating Thomas Roberts."The assistant nodded. "Yes, Mister Carter."Less than a minute later, Thomas's phone dinged with a notification. His face paled as he read it.It was a personnel notice from Shalton Group, announcing that, ef

  The lawyer my mom hired arrived quickly, dressed in a sleek black business suit and towering heels, exuding an imposing presence.I recognized her. She was a famous top-tier lawyer in Ashton City, known for handling high-profile inheritance and divorce cases. People usually had to book her services a year in advance.However, my mom had overreacted. I did not need a cent from the Roberts family in our divorce, so there was no need to bring such a renowned lawyer. My mom was likely venting her anger on my behalf.As expected, Margaret's arrogance shrank the moment she saw the lawyer. She asked timidly, "What…what's going on?"The lawyer ignored her, pulling a document from her briefcase and slapping it on the bedside table. "Divorce agreement. Have a look."Without hesitation, I picked up the pen and signed my name. At that point, what was there to hesitate over?Thomas, however, looked like he had been struck by lightning, staring at me in disbelief. "Are you divorcing me?"I sc

  Margaret and Emily, who had been eavesdropping at the door, burst into the room joyfully when they heard that."So, you've finally come to your senses! You and Thomas were never a good match to begin with!""Exactly! Someone like you should consider it a blessing to have lived with the Roberts family for five years!" Emily chimed in."Know your place! You're not even worthy of carrying Claire's shoes!" she sneered.When I mentioned divorce, Thomas stopped in his tracks. He turned around, standing against the light, his expression hidden, but his entire demeanor radiated coldness."Serena Carter, have you lost your mind? Hm?" His voice was chilling.I smiled bitterly. How ironic. I had asked for a divorce to free him and Claire, yet he had hesitated.On the other hand, Claire finally seemed to grasp that I was Thomas' wife. However, there was no turning back for her, so she clung to him, holding his hand tightly."Thomas, I don't mind if you get a divorce..." she whispered.I p
