After that day, I seemed to be overwhelmed by an invisible force, and a high fever followed. At this time, Jason Smith came unexpectedly. His appearance was like a sudden storm, stirring up the peace in my heart.

He stood proudly in front of me, his eyes full of the triumph and almsgiving of a winner. "Cynthia, I've said it before, there will be no good end if you go against me. Look at you now, how pitiful!" His words pierced my heart like a knife.

"How about this," he continued, with an unquestionable majesty in his tone, "As a punishment for your stubbornness, as long as you are willing to kneel down and apologize in front of Monica, I can consider taking you back to the Shao family, and you will still be Mrs. Shao."

My head was splitting, and endless irritation and anger surged in my heart. "Get out!" I almost roared out this word, " Jason Smith , I would rather starve to death on the street than kneel down to your Monica !"

The boasting on Jason Smith 's face froze instantly, and he stared at me in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that I would be so resolute. "Cynthia, you actually talk to me like this..." He muttered to himself, his tone full of disbelief.

"Why not?" I asked with a sneer, "You deprived me of my last hope and asked me to kneel down and admit my mistake to the culprit. Jason Smith , I simply hate you!"

Jason Smith took a deep breath and laughed in anger, "Okay, okay! In that case, then let's get a divorce!" After that, he turned and left, thinking that I would succumb to the threat of divorce like before.

However, he was wrong this time. I just turned my gaze away, unwilling to look at him any more. This marriage had indeed come to an end.

After I recovered from my illness, I wanted to start over and find a job. At this time, Professor Miller 's phone call was like a ray of light, illuminating my confused future. " Cynthia , I have secured a rare opportunity for you. Are you willing to study abroad and continue to pursue your dream of painting?" I was so excited that I agreed repeatedly, as if I saw a turning point in my life.

Just as I was busy preparing for studying abroad, Monica 's party invitation was like a boulder that smashed into my peaceful life. I wanted to refuse, but Monica's friends began to spread rumors that I was a mistress and dared not see the original wife. In a fit of anger, I decided to accept the invitation and face those rumors.

The moment I walked into the box, I felt the malicious gazes all around me. Their words were like sharp blades, cutting my heart. I sat silently in the corner, enduring their insults and abuse. Jason Smith was also there. He sneered and said, " Cynthia has been kicked out of the Shao family, and we will get divorced soon." The box was boiling, and Monica 's best friend Vivian even set off fireworks to celebrate that Jason Smith finally got rid of me.

I noticed that Jason Smith had been glancing at me intentionally or unintentionally while he was saying this, but I still kept a calm expression. For some reason, he suddenly became furious and splashed the red wine in his hand on my face.

"Divorce! Cynthia! Can't you hear me? I want to divorce you! " he roared.
