On the day the gauze was removed from my eyes, I joked that I was blind. "Don't be afraid if you can't see. I'll take care of you my entire life." My husband and best friend took care of me while I was in the hospital. They sincerely made that promise to me. However, when we got home, all three of us were on the same bed. My best friend rode on top of my husband breathlessly. They were caught up in their intimacy as they thought I could not see. My best friend was worried I would suspect something and spoke up to eliminate any suspicion. "Uhh… Summer, I'm just giving your husband a massage." I was so disgusted that I wanted to throw up, but I held myself back. Once they were done, I was about to find an excuse to leave the room when my five-year-old suddenly ran in. "I miss you so much, Mom!" Hearing that warmed my heart, and I opened my arms to hug him, but he ran past me and lay down next to my best friend instead. The 'happy family of three' were all smiles and threw me looks of disgust. I could no longer tolerate this. When I called my lawyer, I told him to bring me the divorce papers. If they wanted to become a family so badly, I would make their wish come true. I just did not know if my best friend could afford to earn a decent enough income to take care of my useless husband and son.

Chapter 2
On the first day I got home, Ivana and Edward wanted to give me a surprise. They told me they wanted to take good care of me, but one of them was wearing my dress while the other had his hand under her dress.That was only the first day I was home.When I realized Edward and Ivana were cheating right in front of me, I remained silent about it. I quietly turned on the surveillance cameras in the villa and pretended nothing was going on as I enjoyed their 'care' for me.What I did not expect was the person who hurt me the most turned out to be my son, Evan. He was Edward's son, indeed. They had the same taste in people. Evan not only helped to cover up for his father, but he even put sleeping pills into my milk and served it to me."Will Ivana always be my mom if I feed Mom this milk every day?"I felt a chill down my spine when I heard Evan say those words while I stood hidden behind the door.When Evan was born, I took care of him all on my own. It was because of him that I cut

"Time for dinner, Summer." When Ivana helped me to the dinner table, Edward and Evan were chomping on steak and lobster. Their mouths were greasy as they ate their food.A few plates of vegetables were placed in front of me. Ivana even opened a bottle of expensive wine in front of them."Oh, gosh. I spilled some wine. It reeks of alcohol here now."She was wearing a jeweled ring on her finger as she waved it around. She had a fake smile on her face as she pressed me down into my seat. Ivana then put vegetables onto my plate."The doctor said you have to eat clean. I made a full vegetarian meal today." Full vegetarian?There was lobster and beef on the other side of the table while chicken noodle soup was simmering in the kitchen. How could she tell me this was a full vegetarian meal?Evan was confident I had no say in his diet. He chewed loudly and even gulped down big mouthfuls of beef in front of me on purpose. As he reached out for the lobster, he spoke with his mouth full

I sent out a message and waited at the door. There was no point in tolerating it any longer. I wanted them out of the villa today.About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the villa's door.A group of men appeared at the door. I smiled when I saw my lawyer following behind them. I waved them in, and everyone entered the villa."The room on the second floor, the child's room, and the closet. Throw out anything that belongs to a man or a child. Also, move everything out of the guest room and that room. Leave everything of value behind. They're stolen goods."Immediately, clanging was heard everywhere. I rubbed my chin and gave another specific instruction, "Do something about the lock. Those three aren't allowed back in here."…The first to return home was Evan."Open the door, Mom. Why did you close the door? Open up and let me in. I want to play video games. I want to play my video games!"Evan was slamming hard on the door when the housekeeper was preparing my dinner."Op

Edward went pale, but his face quickly turned red.When he realized he had been tricked, he wanted to coax me, but this time, I did not give him a chance to say anything.I slapped Edward hard and then flung the divorce papers the lawyer gave to me hard on his face. "Take your mistress and your lousy son with you and get out of here! These are our divorce papers. Get out of my house right now!"The atmosphere suddenly turned silent with everyone keeping their mouth shut. A second later, Edward stammered as he gripped hard on the divorce papers. "W-What are you talking about? Divorce?!"His tone turned shrill at the last word. Ivana's eyes brightened while Evan said nothing. They looked on expectantly as Edward's voice became louder. "Impossible! I won't agree to this!"Before Ivana could react, Edward knelt in front of me. "This is my fault, Summer. I don't want a divorce! I'll break up with her right now!""What are you talking about, Edward? You should kick her out and show h

Everything used by the three of them was thrown out. Anything left outside after a night was taken to the dump as per my instructions.Edward refused to give up, however. He stood outside the door cursing even after it was closed. "I'm still your husband by law, Summer Lang! How dare you treat me this way?! It was just a minor mistake on my part. You were the one who lied to me first. That's why I…"What else do you want me to do?! I've already apologized! You're a mother. Think about our son…"At the mention of our son, the look in my eyes turned cold.An image of Evan calling someone else 'Mom' and feeding me sleeping pills appeared in my mind. I laughed and called the teacher of his special interests classes. I canceled all of them and even canceled the preorder of his branded clothes.If he liked calling another woman his mother so much, I might as well make his wish come true.While the cursing continued outside the door, I turned on my computer and buried myself in work. It

"The sad story of how a man fell in love and married into a rich woman's family. My son and I were kicked out of the house!""Female Vice President of Lang Corporation abandons husband and son!"These headlines were accompanied by photos of Evan standing outside the villa alone. A video was also attached below."Open the door, Mom! I'm sorry!" A child of only a few years old was crying his heart out. His hands had turned red from the cold as he kept hitting the iron doors with it. His face was covered in tears, and it had become red from all the sobbing. He looked quite pitiful.There was no one around him. It was heartbreaking to see such a young child crying that way. Behind him were all the belongings of the three people who were thrown out.At the end was my photo. Edward did not mention his cheating with Ivana. The entire article was about how he had contributed to the Langs and the company as well as how innocent Evan was."I've worked for the Langs for seven to eight yea

"There's no money. There isn't even any…"I raised my eyebrow. I could hardly suppress my smile. When he got to the first floor, I walked out of the study and opened the cupboard. I put the key to the glass cabinet on a shelf inside the cupboard.All the jewelry inside the glass cabinet shone brilliantly under the light. I closed the door after I was done.When night came, I closed my eyes. I heard the alert on my phone that came from the surveillance equipment and opened my eyes groggily.It was 2:00 am, and my wonderful son seemed to still be awake."I can't fit everything, Dad."He was speaking softly into his watch while standing in front of the glass cabinet. Evan was talking to Edward, who sounded excited. He was giving instructions to his son on how to open the cabinet."Pick a big one. Take everything with a nice color. Jewels are valuable. Take them all back and I'll buy you a big meal! We'll get rid of your mother once we're rich."Evan placed piece after piece of je

"I'm calling the police to report someone coercing a child to steal valuable items and jewelry. This is the evidence."The first thing I did when I got to the police station was lodge a report.After Evan left, Edward and Ivana enjoyed a few good days. They seemed to have gotten rich overnight and had plenty of money to spend. They were not in a hurry to threaten me with 'mental distress' compensation.Netizens were accusing me every day of abandoning my husband and son and sharing the video of me pretending to be blind.When I saw those women, I rested my chin on my hand and smiled."These people were paid to create trouble at my company. I would suggest checking the records in their phones."The women exploded with rage, their faces turning red. Two of them even tried to hide their phones."What nonsense are you talking about? We're here to punish evildoers!""We didn't receive any money. This is slander! Stop pointing fingers when you're about to be punished!""A young woma

It was evening by the time I was done at the police station. Before I left, I waved goodbye to the despondent father and son. "Remember to pay me what you owe!"I got into a luxury car parked at the roadside after I left the police station."How did it go? Did you manage to get everything?"My lawyer, Langdon Monroe, took out a small camera from his pocket. "I've got everything, Ms. Lang. It's ready to be shared online."They loved creating rumors before. Now was the time for them to get their just desserts.The police requested Edward and Ivana remove the video they posted online. They were even forced to issue a public apology, but they did not specify the reason for it. While most netizens were feeling bewildered about this, I uploaded several videos online.Everyone's faces were pixelated, but their figures could still be seen. Their voices could be clearly heard too."Your husband gave them to me. They're considered a gift…"It was annoying to see her being so matter-of-
