When I woke up the next day, I found myself alone in the poor
My head felt heavy, and every muscle in my body ached
With the recent fever and miscarriage, my body was undeniably worker
I felt a little closer to death.
As I opened the door, I could hear voices coming from outside,
I glanced at the porch and saw Auntie Sidney having a conversation with Mrs.
Sullivan. But as soon as she noticed me, her face lit up with a smile, though
she seemed concerned and commented, “Ma’am, you’ve lost weight again.”
I asked, “Why are you here?”
“Mr. Mendez asked me to bring something,” Auntie Sidney hesitated for a
moment before continuing, “Ma’am, let me help you bring the items inside

the room…”
Mrs. Sullivan interjected, extending her hand and stating, “I can manage it…”
I responded, “Auntie Sidney, please come in.”
Auntie Sidney had something important to discuss.

However, Mrs. Sullivan’s objection was understandable since Auntie Sidney
was the housekeeper I hired for our new house after getting married, and she
did not interact with her much.
Auntie Sidney brought the things into the bedroom and locked the door. She
smiled and said, “Ma’am, Miss Anna told me to bring this to you.”
As she spoke, she opened her backpack and took out a box.
I accepted it and it contained the family’s real estate agreement and some
receipts.

I looked at her with suspicion, asking, “What is this for?”
“Miss Olsen has been at home these days and burned all your belongings. I
couldn’t get in touch with you, and I felt that Mr. Mendez also showed concern
for you on regular occasions. Maybe there’s some difficulty,” Auntie Sidney
held my hand and continued, “But the day before yesterday, another Miss
Shaw came to the house, and Mr. Mendez…”
She looked at me sympathetically but stopped herself from saying anything
else.
Despite knowing that asking such a question would cause me pain, I couldn’t
resist and inquired, “How good was it?”
“It’s… well,” she replied with a sigh, “very well, ma’am. I… I know you’re not
feeling well.”
It was going exceedingly well, so well that Auntie Sidney believed it would
only upset me further if she told me more details.

Unable to shake off the image I saw outside the coffee shop window that

day, along with her confident request on the other end of the phone, my face
began to itch. I could not resist scratching it, and Auntie Sidney spoke up
again, “There have been negative news these days, and the more I think
about it, the more worried I become. This morning, I took matters into my own
hands and contacted Miss Anna. She wanted me to show you this and say
that you should understand.”
And I did understand.
Although my father paid for the house, I was worried that Liam would feel
offended. So I wrote both their names on the contract.
However, with these papers in place, most of the property could be
reclaimed.
Anna wanted me to prepare for a divorce.
After seeing Auntie Sidney off, I went to the living room and opened the bag.
As I began to go through its contents, Mrs. Sullivan approached and said, “The

phone is in the safe.”
I glanced at Mrs. Sullivan, sensing her helplessness. She lowered her head
slightly, avoiding my gaze.
I asked, “Has there been any news?”
Mrs. Sullivan nodded.
I continued, “Can I at least watch the news? I won’t contact anyone.”

Perhaps due to our relationship, Mrs. Sullivan hesitated for a moment before
handing me her phone. She said, “The news is mostly about the stock market,
and it’s quite unsettling.”
I did not answer any calls, but instead opened the browser and immediately
noticed the news recommendations on the homepage
“Miss Olsen caught in a scandal, the husband was enraged and inflicts
severe beating.”

Out of curiosity, I clicked on the news link. The article revealed that an

anonymous tip received by the newspaper claimed, “Vivienne had spent the
night at her lover’s house. The reporter had conducted an overnight stakeout
at the given address and witnessed Liam’s arrival the following morning.”
The reporter claimed that Liam had stayed in the car for several hours before
finally heading upstairs, suggesting his hesitation.
“Not long after, Liam hastily came down the stairs, and Vivienne followed,
accompanied by the chairman’s assistant. Her clothes were disheveled, her
face was bloodied, indicating a suspected encounter of violent assault in
bed.”
There was a video attached to the article. As I watched the video, I saw
myself coming downstairs, wearing Liam’s coat with his blood smeared on
my chin.
The comments section was filled with heated debates. Some argued that
women like her deserved to be beaten, while others believed that if Liam had
done so much, he must be familiar with domestic violence. There were also

those who felt that the entire incident was a conspiracy concocted by Liam
to get rid of his original partner.

There were people who defended me too and they were most likely planned
by Anna. After all, she was the only person around me capable and willing to
carry out such actions on my behalf.
As I was reading, a new notification appeared.

about it.
At that moment, Mrs. Sullivan reached out her hand and gently said, “Are you
done reading, Miss?”
I handed her the phone back and thanked her.

However, today the taste seemed stronger, possibly due to the addition of

Misinterpreting my attitude, Mrs. Sullivan sighed, sat down beside me, and
confided, “I didn’t tell you last time, but I had suggested that you stay home
or a while.”

Mrs. Sullivan, who was a few years younger than my mother, was brought
into our family and had always treated me with great care and affection.
I was taken aback and asked, “Why?”

“When we moved here, Mr. Mendez said that he had some conflicts with a
rival company, and he feared that they might fabricate negative news about
you. He was concerned that you wouldn’t be able to handle it, so he asked for
my advice,” Mrs. Sullivan explained. “I insisted that you shouldn’t be informed
because of what happened to Madam.”
I asked, “Why didn’t I know about this?”
“Mr. Mendez refused to tell you, but Miss Anna was aware of it,” Mrs. Sullivan
said. “You might still remember during those days, Madam was in a bad
mood and refused to go out, and then she left us.”
I was only five years old when my mother passed away. Strangely enough, I
have a sharp memory and remembered the scientific theories my mother
taught me. However, my recollection of the days of her passing was rather

I asked curiously, “But what kind of controversy could there have been about
my mother?”
“At that time, rumors circulated that she and Mr. Norman had betrayed Mr.
Mendez,” Mrs. Sullivan revealed. “However, Mr. Mendez didn’t pay it much
mind. During those days, Mr. Norman’s family still came over for meals as
usual, and our two families continued to get along harmoniously. Mr. Mendez
even comforted Madam, advising her not to pay attention to the controversy
as it was all concocted by various interest groups seeking profit.”
