Lingering Hatred Chapter 1
Theo and I have been sleeping in separate rooms ever since our second child was born. He would sleep with our son, Joseph Cooper, in one room. Meanwhile, I would sleep with our daughter, Rebecca Cooper, in another.Due to work transfer, Theo only had time to come back on weekends.In the middle of the night, he suddenly sent me a suggestive photo from the room next door, saying that he missed me.This photo marked the sixth time Theo had dropped a hint since his return.I was exhausted from childcare all day, so I didn't have the energy to reply to his text. I took a glance at it and went back to sleep.…To my surprise, a woman showed up at our house two days later. Theo said that she was the nanny he'd hired to reduce my workload.Back then, I was so touched that I almost cried. However, I started to notice something was off several days later.I spent a lot of time with Tiffany Jackson since she was a live-in nanny.She was six years younger than me, full of optimism and

Theo came to hug me after I was done washing up at night. He kissed my earlobe and asked, "Don't you think it's been a while since we've been intimate, honey?"I pushed him away subconsciously before turning over to mess with the fridge. "Not lately. The doctor said I have pelvic fluid buildup and can't have sex during the treatment.""But I want you!" Theo insisted. "It should be fine if we use protection. Besides, it's rare for us to be the only ones home today. We'll have privacy!"He started touching me all over.I gave him a slap, and he let go of me out of pain. He stared at me in shock.I have always fulfilled all of Theo's sexual desires throughout our years of marriage, but this was the first time I really felt uncomfortable."Tiff will be back soon." I hurriedly interjected, "It'd be awkward if she happened to walk in on us."As expected, the moment I mentioned Tiffany, Theo quietly took a seat.I took the opportunity to casually mention, "Mom said that she wants to t
Lingering Hatred Chapter 3
Tiffany's husband also clearly knew about her affairs with other men. He even turned a blind eye to it.Theo was the third man she had found in over a year's time. He was also the only one who agreed to marry her."Have you figured out how much money this man has already?" Tiffany's husband asked."What money could he possibly have? He's flat broke! Don't even think about trying to get anything from me again. I've already paid you back everything I've owed you. We'll part ways for good in a few days' time!" she replied."No way!" the man declined outright. "You wouldn't have easily slept with him if he had no money. You even agreed to be his nanny. Do you think I'm stupid? Give me 300 thousand dollars! I'll agree to get a divorce with you if you give me 300 thousand. You can forget about it otherwise!"It turned out that it was a dog-eat-dog case.…Taking advantage of the fact that Theo was out working late again, I returned home that very night.I looked at Tiffany, who was p
Lingering Hatred Chapter 4
This time, Theo's reply came instantly. His message read, "Where's this?""It's Venezia Hotel." I sent him a voice message to explain, "Do you still remember Myra, my friend from university? We hadn't seen each other for a long time, so we met today. When are you coming back?""Tomorrow!" Theo's text sounded a little upset. "Why did you bring Tiffany with you? She's just a nanny unsuited for those kinds of places. Don't bring her next time—she'll only embarrass you in front of your friends!"Just then, Tiffany approached me with a wine glass in hand. "Why are you alone here, Wendy?"I showed her Theo's texts and said, "I'm just chatting with my husband."Tiffany's expression fell. It was likely that she saw the phrases "she was just a nanny", "unsuited", and "embarrassment"."He's just joking, so don't take it to heart." I hurriedly put away my phone, looking apologetic. "He's always been like that. He's always drawing a line between everything. What's wrong with being a nanny? Y

It was already late night by the time we returned from the cocktail party.After washing up, I noticed from under Tiffany's door that her lights were still on. I instantly knew that she had fallen for my trap.I had only mentioned to her that credit loans were trending online recently. The money would arrive quickly, but it was also extremely risky.The loans from each bank were based on a person's credit and repayment ability. Considering Tiffany's unstable income, she probably couldn't borrow much from any banks.So, I told her to try out other financial products besides traditional bank loans. Services like Venmo's Pay Later and PayPal Credit did not require a complicated approval process to get money straight into her account.There wouldn't be any problems if she repaid her balance before the due date.Tiffany clapped her hand excitedly, wondering why she didn't think of that before.…Being a light sleeper, I woke to footsteps outside as dawn broke.I even heard Tiffany'
Lingering Hatred Chapter 6
Tiffany's husband demanded a 300-thousand-dollar breakup fee right off the bat. The scion was only trying to squeeze money out of her. Theo was the only one acting like a fool, handing out money left and right.Indeed, men can't be compared to each other. Theo looked like a genuine idiot if you compared the three of them together.I couldn't believe how blind I was back then to have fallen for such a foolish man.To be fair, Tiffany's tactics were pretty clever.She continued to sleep with her husband while trying to haggle to reduce the breakup fee to 150 thousand dollars. Meanwhile, she also slept with the scion, subtly fishing for information about his family's wealth.Unfortunately, both men weren't idiots. One only wanted to sleep with her for free, while the other kept bragging about his wealth, claiming to be the only heir of a wealthy family. The scion claimed that he was just out here trying to test his own abilities, eventually returning to inherit his family business.
Lingering Hatred Chapter 7
Tiffany exclaimed, "I didn't force you to gamble your money away! You can't blame me when you're the one who did this to yourself!"She was losing it. "Anyway, I've recorded our conversation. If you're still keen on getting jail time, just spread my photos then! But there's no way you're getting 500 thousand dollars from me!"I heard the sound of glass shattering from the next room, followed by Tiffany's scream.I was worried that something might have happened, so I quickly pulled out my phone to start recording while I checked on them.However, before I could fully open the door and take a step out, Tiffany rushed past me, running for her life.It was eerily quiet next door. My heart skipped a beat as I walked over while my phone was still recording. I then saw a man lying in a pool of blood, unconscious.…It seemed that Tiffany had been staying at her home the past few days to avoid getting caught, even skipping meetings with the scion.As it was a holiday, Theo ended up p
Lingering Hatred Chapter 8
Tiffany gave me a call early the next morning.I felt troubled and silenced my phone, refusing to take her call.She then sent me a text: "Have you watched today's news, Wendy? The stock market crashed, and the stock we bought has hit its lowest limit. The company's CEO announced bankruptcy, and the company was delisted overnight! What should I do? Those were all my savings! Please help me figure something out, Wendy!"I chuckled coldly while reading her texts.Tiffany called me several times again in the afternoon. I didn't take any of her calls.She ended up texting me again: "I'm finished, Wendy! I'm really in trouble now! I got scammed! That scion you introduced me to is a fraud. All his designer clothes were rented, and now he's run off with all my money! What's going on, Wendy? Please pick up my calls!"I still refused to take her calls.Myra did have a sneaking suspicion that the scion might run off soon. She mentioned how the Dogecoin market was soaring, but it would soo

Lingering Hatred Chapter 10
A bitch and a bastard—what a perfect pair! This was my first time encountering someone this shameless.Theo stared at the bank transaction history on the table. He seemed determined when he looked up and said, "This is all my fault. Feel free to name any demands you have, I'll do what I can to make it up to you."What made him think that I wanted him to make it up for me?"I want custody of our two children." I continued, "And also the 800 thousand dollars in your account. I won't keep them for myself. I'll put it aside as the children's education fund. I don't want anything else."What I wanted was for the cheating couple to experience public humiliation every day in their lives.Theo hesitated before agreeing, "Alright. I'll give them to you."Tiffany was about to speak up but was stopped.Although Theo was a bastard, he was at least willing to provide for our children. But my heart ached to see that he didn't even make a token effort to fight for our children's custody. It ma

"Let's go house viewing after we're done eating," I suggested just as the dishes were served. "It's better to lock it down early with how the market's changing daily. Besides, we could also get our parents' opinions since they're here." Theo stayed silent while he ate, looking extremely worn out. "Let's hold off on the house for now.""Why?" I looked at him in shock. Confused, I said, "We can't keep staying in the hotel. It's just too expensive. It costs several hundred dollars just for a night! Besides, the summer break is coming up. Where would the kids stay then?"My mother-in-law, Lilian Anderson, immediately looked concerned when she heard about the hotel costs. Everyone turned to look at Theo."I have other needs for the money." He frowned, discreetly casting me a knowing look. "My company offered me some stocks at a discounted price, so I'm planning to use the money to buy in."My parents-in-law were from the countryside, so they naturally couldn't understand these things.
