6

On the appointed date, the lawyer sent me all the documents. I glanced at the calendar and called Chloe.

"Are you going home tomorrow?" I asked softly.

But she continued to make up lies as usual, saying, "There are a lot of things to do in the company..." I didn't want to listen to these flawed excuses anymore.

"Tomorrow is the baby's death anniversary. You promised me that you would accompany me to burn incense and pray for the baby every year." I reminded her that this was the agreement between us.

Back then, I naively thought that Leo had just made an unintentional mistake, and Chloe was only defending him for the company's reputation. So, I chose silence and compromise. However, now there are signs that everything back then might have been a carefully planned conspiracy.

Chloe was silent for a moment, and finally made a promise, "You and the baby will always occupy the most important place in my heart." "No matter what happens tomorrow, I will rush back."

The next morning, I went to the temple in plain clothes. However, after the ritual ended and the incense burned out, Chloe never showed up. Just as I was leaving, I received a message from Leo, "She is pregnant, and the child is mine." "She will never come back to you."

I decisively blocked him and took all the materials to the court to file a lawsuit. Afterwards, I contacted major media outlets and made public the scandal of Chloe's cheating.

Soon, Chloe called as expected, "Why did I receive a court summons ?" "Frank , what did you do? Do you really want to divorce me?" I sat in the newly rented apartment and said firmly, "Yes, I want to divorce you." "I know you won't sign the divorce agreement, so I can only take this approach."

There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, probably Chloe was venting her emotions. She used to do this when we argued, and I had to clean up the mess every time. Now, I am no longer someone she can order around, and I wonder if Leo will have the patience.

After venting, Chloe said almost gritting her teeth, "You're getting bolder and bolder. It seems like I've really spoiled you over the years." "Stop it. I know you're doing this just to get my attention. I promise you, I'll go home earlier next time."

" Besides, where do you get the money to hire a lawyer ?" she questioned.

I chuckled. "After I win the divorce lawsuit, I will naturally have money." "We worked together to build this family business, and you are the one at fault." "During this time, I have also collected evidence of your infidelity. I believe the law will give me a fair verdict."

I've had enough of the days when my hands are facing upwards. What I want is something that belongs to me, not Chloe's charity.

Chloe immediately retorted, "I didn't cheat." "Frank, why don't you believe me? Leo and I are just a superior and a subordinate." "I treat him as my younger brother, so I take extra care of him. You're just sitting around at home all day, so you're imagining nonsense!"

Until now, Chloe still has no remorse and instead blames me for the mistake. I directly sent her the pregnancy report that Leo sent me, and she instantly fell silent. After a long time, she slowly spoke, "Listen to my explanation..." However, I hung up the phone directly. Her explanation was meaningless to me. It could not bring back the lost baby, let alone repair our broken marriage.
