My mother claims my husband has cheated on me and pushes me to get a divorce. I want to collect evidence before proceeding with anything—if it's true, I have to uphold my rights. Yet she causes a scene at an art exhibition I've worked on for three years, humiliating me in public and making me sound like a gold digger. "How are you any different from a prostitute when you're holding this dumb exhibition with a man's money? I didn't raise you to be a gold digger! How can you be so revolting?" She slashes the million-dollar paintings in the exhibition, claiming that she's doing this for my good. She wants me to see the error of my ways and return to the right path. Meanwhile, I clutch my bloody hand, which she slashed with her blade. I say, "You say you want me to return to the right path, but is that what it really is? You want me to divorce my legally wedded husband, who's a CEO, without a penny to my name. "Then, you want me to marry a 45-year-old cheap man who has a child and no money? He even wants me to support him!"

"What? I'm her mother! What right do you have to interfere in how I handle my kid? I gave birth to her! If I say she goes to a vocational school, she goes! If I say she marries Wilbur, she marries him!"Why does she get to live a good life when mine is a mess? My husband ran off, so why does she get to have a loving husband and in-laws? She should be just like me! She should follow my orders!"It was at that moment I finally understood the real reason behind all her claims of doing things "for my own good."I also learned that my father wasn't dead after all. In fact, he had run off with another woman while Mom was pregnant with me.Her hatred for my father had led her to destroy every path I tried to climb and drag me down with her into the dirt.So... In her eyes, I was never her daughter. I was merely a tool to vent her bitterness and rage.Watching me have my wings clipped and seeing me ridiculed by others must have brought her great satisfaction.She had forgotten that I w

It turned out that when Trent wasn't at home, he was at the company, completely absorbed in developing his new game.Forget about cheating, he barely even left the house.I took a few saved screenshots from the surveillance footage and sent them to Mom, letting her know exactly where I stood.I thought that would be enough to make her back off. But to my surprise, she didn't even stay quiet for three days before she stirred up more trouble.After three days of cleaning and repairs, my art exhibition reopened.I hadn't discarded the damaged paintings as I planned to repair the canvases, so I stored them in the back for now.There weren't many guests that day. I was enjoying the lunch Betty had lovingly packed for me when two middle-aged women barged into the gallery.Holding their phones, they examined the gallery's layout while whispering to each other. Once they confirmed this was the place they were looking for, they marched up with their heads held high."Where's the owner?"

The crowd had already turned against Mom, throwing her accusatory glances. All the public humiliation she had once placed on me was now falling back onto her."You… You…" Mom's finger trembled as she pointed at me. "Are you just going to stand by and watch her bully me?""Don't use her to make excuses!" Betty shielded me behind her.Even though she was shorter than me, she stood so much taller at that moment.Looking at the ruined paintings, Betty calmly ordered the gallery security, "Call the police and collect evidence. She deliberately damaged someone else's property. I'm going to press charges!"At the mention of the police, Mom immediately panicked."I'm Monica's mother! Are you seriously going to throw me in jail?"Betty retorted, "Why not? Are you saying you can break the law and not face consequences?""Monica! Say something! Are you going to let your own mother go to jail?"I stayed silent for a while before stepping out from behind Betty. I looked at Mom, my eyes dev

"Trent Keegan of Nexora Tech? I've had dinner with him once. Half the time, he was talking about technology, and the other half, he couldn't stop mentioning his wife.""I've met him too. Even when he's out socializing, he never forgets to buy sweets for his wife.""He was the one who delivered my invitation for today's event. He kept reminding me to bring my friends to support his wife.""Why would anyone trade such a good husband?"My questioning hadn't fazed Mom, but the guests' remarks made her face turn pale.It was the first time her manipulation of the crowd had failed.She waved her arms frantically while exclaiming, "You guys don't know anything! Wilbur is a great man! He even brought me local specialties from his hometown. A whole bag of mushrooms!"Someone couldn't hold back a snort and said, "Ma'am, Trent bought this million-dollar art gallery for your daughter. What's so great about a bag of mushrooms?"Mom held her chin high. "Love isn't something you can measure w

At that moment, she changed her tone again and spoke in a patronizing, yet concerned manner."Monica, you're still young. You don't understand how treacherous people can be. Listen to me. Divorce him and marry Wilbur. He's the right man for you. Wilbur doesn't even mind that you've been married before. He's been waiting for you all this time!"She wiped away her tears as she said so.Her crazed actions had already terrified some of the guests, but they soon joined in again."Ms. Laurent, don't be so blinded by money! What's wealth compared to true love?""Exactly! Do you really want to watch your mother have a heart attack because of you? You'll regret it when it's too late.""Hurry up and get a divorce! Fighting with your mother over a cheating man is just ungrateful!"Mom shot me a triumphant look. She loved this—using others to nail me to the moral high ground as if my humiliation was the best reward she could ever receive.The guests' harsh words kept pouring into my ears,

"Wait a second, are we talking about a married couple here?""From the way her mother was talking, I thought Ms. Laurent was the homewrecker.""Well, a mother gets anxious; it's understandable…"Upon hearing their comments, I secretly let out a sigh of relief. At least I wouldn't be labeled a homewrecker or a gold digger. My reputation and career were barely intact at this point.Mom hadn't expected me to defy her publicly. She stood there stunned for a moment, and then, tears abruptly started streaming down her face."Monica, you really disappoint me! I saw with my own eyes he entered a hotel with another woman. What more proof do you want? I'm your mother. Why would I lie to you?"The truth is, you just want to use this as an excuse to get money out of him! Oh, how did I end up raising such an immoral, money-grubbing daughter?"She collapsed onto the floor, pointing at me in anguish. "If you don't go divorce him today, don't ever call me your mother again!"Then, clutching he

Back then, Mom had changed my high school application behind my back and turned down an offer from the top institution in the city. Instead, she made sure I got into the worst vocational school, despite my ranking third in the entire city.When I broke down and threw a tantrum, she had cried in front of all our relatives and neighbors, claiming I didn't understand how hard things were for the family and only wanted to go to some elite high school to chase after a boy.She had even said that educational background wasn't as important because back in her day, vocational students had bright futures too.Her act had been so convincing that everyone came over to advise me that I could still get into college from a vocational school and that it wouldn't affect my future.Later, when it was time for me to take the college entrance exam, Mom had torn up my exam docket and caused all my year-long preparations down the drain.When I angrily confronted her, she had spoken to me in a grave to

When my mother, Katherine Case told me that my husband, Trent Keegan had cheated on me, my first thought was that she'd been scammed.Honestly, I'd rather believe in ghosts than believe Trent was unfaithful.It was not that I was naive. But I knew for a fact his brain only had room for coding. Even my mother-in-law, Betty Rusell would joke that if it weren't for me, he might just marry his computer.Mom grabbed my wrist and urged me with a frown. "What are you waiting for? Divorce him now!"I snapped back to reality and tried to stay calm. "I'll talk to Trent when he gets home from work.""Talk to him about what?" Mom yanked my ear so hard it stung. "I told you from the start, rich people like him are the least reliable! You're just a dull and ugly-looking community college graduate. How could he ever actually like you? I'm your mother. Do you really think I'd lie to you?"My ear was on fire, and I was pretty sure she was about to rip it off.I struggled to pull away from her gr
