They Cast Me Aside, Now They Beg for Mercy

"Robin, it's almost New Year! You know Martha can't wait any longer..." The soft voice on the other end of the phone continued, repeating words she had already said countless times before. Robin Levy felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her, and she finally spoke to interrupt her. "I agree to the divorce." As soon as she said the words, the turmoil inside her quieted completely. Her thoughts settled, and an unexpected calm took over. She decided to let everything end here. She would return everything she had taken and stop expecting anything in return. All those memories that once felt like a dream within the Levy family, no matter how deeply they had embedded themselves into her, would be stripped away piece by piece and given back. The woman on the other end of the line clearly felt relieved. "I knew you would understand," her mother, Norma Levy, said gently. "You have always been sensible. I am doing this for your sake as well. There are only the two of you in this family, and if Martha recovers, at least you will have someone to accompany you in the future." Robin let out a quiet breath and asked, "So even if she ignores all boundaries and falls for my husband, you still expect me to agree to this without hesitation?" "Watch how you speak! She is your sister! When she and Jayden met, you were not even married yet. If your grandfather had not been so stubborn about that engagement, the one who married Jayden would have been her!" She continued without pause. "Your father has already issued your transfer this morning. The company in Nylara needs you, so you should leave as soon as possible. Martha cannot handle any emotional stress right now, so you do not need to visit her at the hospital. We will explain your transfer to her." There was both reproach and satisfaction in her voice. She ended the call without further courtesy. The empty room echoed with the dull tone of the disconnected line. Robin looked down at the divorce agreement beside her and eventually turned to the last page to sign her name. The truth was that even without Norma's call, her husband Jayden Jenkins had already prepared everything required for the divorce. With the best legal team from Jenkins Group involved, whether she agreed or not had never truly been her decision. Norma's call did nothing except add another wound to Robin's heart. Martha was Paul Levy's illegitimate daughter, and when Paul first brought her home, Norma had nearly thrown her out. Paul had knelt in front of her for an entire afternoon and produced proof of Martha's mother's death before she was allowed to stay. From then on, Paul gave Martha everything she wanted, Robin's room, Robin's dresses, Robin's opportunity to study abroad, and even Robin's position as vice president. All of it gradually became Martha's. Robin herself had once pitied her. She believed Martha was unfortunate for growing up without a mother, so she willingly shared her parents' love without hesitation. What Robin had never expected was how quickly things would change. In just eight years, Martha, who had once struggled to be accepted into the Levy family, became the one Paul and Norma cherished the most. Now, because of Martha's demands, they were forcing Robin to divorce and sending her thousands of miles away to the Nylara branch. Even Jayden, the man she had grown up with, now had only Martha in his eyes. Martha had completely replaced her as the family's cherished one. ***** Robin felt completely drained after signing her name, and she no longer had the strength to do anything else. In the next moment, the door was shoved open violently, and Jayden stood there with anger written all over his face. "Robin, sign the divorce agreement right now!"
