Chapter 4

590 Words
The answer I gave him was the door slamming shut. It's laughable. Farold always believed that I knew nothing and could only be led by the nose by him through public opinion. In his eyes, I was nothing more than a housewife worn down by the trivialities of daily life. Farold and Dollee started a live stream, constantly complaining and crying that I was overly suspicious, sensitive and jealous, and misinterpreted their pure superior-subordinate relationship. In the past few days, I have been flooded with endless online abuse. Some people said I have a vicious heart. They claimed that I want a divorce because I have no intention of running the welfare institute, and will file a lawsuit to seize half of Farold's property. Some people said that I had three abortions for my first love, served time in prison to take the blame for him. They thought Farold married me despite all that, yet I betrayed him severely. My reputation has hit rock bottom, and my messages were flooded with over 999 notifications from people venting their malice towards me. My mom even sent me a document declaring the severance of our parent-child relationship. She said, "Your dad said once you lose the lawsuit, sign the papers to sever your father-daughter relationship with him right away. He can't bear the shame." Faced with overwhelming accusations, I remained silent all along until I appeared in court three days later. When appearing in court, Farold and Dollee got out of the same car and acted intimately. As she walked past me, Dollee's eyes welled up with tears, and she spoke in a hypocritical tone, "Lynna, drop the lawsuit. You don't want to lose Allison, right? I'm also a mother, I understand you." Farold also feigned sincerity. He said, "Lynna, you will definitely lose this lawsuit. Admit your mistake now, and I'll still let you be the godmother of Edwin and Allison." Seeing that I remained indifferent, Farold became furious and said, "Since you showed no mercy, don't blame me for being ruthless. Lynna Haines, just wait to go to jail." Today he has hired the most famous lawyer in the entire Atheta, who is said to have never lost a case. But my lawyer was just an unknown newcomer. The audience were already looking forward to me being forced out of the house with nothing left. Even my own parents hoped that their disgraceful daughter would end up in prison soon. "Mr. Adair has merely fulfilled the director’s duty of caring for the children at the orphanage, and has done nothing wrong in the marriage. "Since the mother does not have the same financial means as the father, custody of the child will be awarded to the father. "If the mother has no other evidence to present, the court will rule that she must leave with nothing!" Cheers erupted from the audience. Farold and Dollee couldn't hide their smiles, exchanging glances as if no one else was around. I remained calm and stood up unhurriedly. I said, "Wait a minute. I have new evidence to present, which includes hundreds of videos of Farold and Dollee at the orphanage, DNA test of Farold Adair and Edwin Morriss, and the evidence that Farold Adair treated the children in the welfare institute differently and embezzled public donations of the institute to support his illegitimate child!" In an instant, the entire venue fell silent. Farold, who had been beaming with joy just a moment ago, suddenly turned pale. And the real showdown was just beginning.
