The Shocking Turn of the Elite: Conspiracy and Revenge Behind the Model Couple
墨書 Inktalez
I am a technical secretary, married to my husband for three years. In public, we are the perfect couple, and in private, we share sweet moments together.
Our family of three travels abroad every year. Even during the toughest three years, we would still take trips to nearby cities to relax.
My husband and I celebrate thirteen anniversaries each year. Whenever I forget these special days, he surprises me.
Originally, my husband came from a modest background, but due to my father's and older brother's connections, last year his startup received significant funding, allowing his career to make a substantial leap during a downturn in the economy.
His success at work made him more affectionate towards me, but my health has not been great, leaving me with little energy for family life outside of work.
We haven't had children yet, but my older brother's youngest son was sent to stay with us. This child is a companion for our family of three. With his presence, my husband treats both me and the child with even more closeness.
This child is only two years old, chubby and healthy. Every time my husband sees him, he insists that we should have our own child. A year ago, we started preparing for a future home in a good school district for our future children.
I entrusted all my savings to my husband.
Every day, besides working hard, he brings home a small snack after work. I feel very content with this life.
Until our wedding anniversary, when a video news clip circulated in our work group about rumors of my infidelity during marriage. Upon seeing it, my husband was furious and demanded a divorce, insisting that I leave with nothing.
I realized then that my husband was not as he appeared; he had already begun to scheme against me.
All my property and savings were registered under his parents' names. At that time, he already had an illegitimate child.
The house and savings were all prepared for this illegitimate child.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law originally thought that I was in poor health and wouldn’t care about the existence of this child, so they brought the kid over. My father-in-law said, "This child is Fortress's. Since you are not well, just put it under your name!"
My mother-in-law, fearing that I wouldn’t agree, pleaded earnestly, "You have been married to Fortress for three years without having a child. Your father-in-law and I are genuinely worried. Now, with Tongtong and this child, after all, it is Fortress's own child. We have no objections!"
The arrival of this child disrupted my peaceful and happy life. I quietly sat on the sofa opposite my father-in-law and mother-in-law, calmly looking at the three-year-old child, understanding everything.
I didn’t cry, but my heart felt dead. Fortress would still seek out that girl named Huazi from Xiao Ji, which was the reason I had despised him for years and kept him at a distance.
Seeing that I remained silent, my father-in-law called Fortress back home. As soon as he entered, he hugged his three-year-old child and coldly said to me, "Since you know everything now, I’m not afraid of you making it public. Your family’s company is not what it used to be; you need to rely on my word. If I can ruin your reputation in your company, I can also make you obediently divorce."
My mother-in-law's expression changed repeatedly as Fortress continued, "After I divorce this woman, I will marry Huazi. My son is only this one in my arms!"
Hearing this made me laugh out loud. "Fortress, if you really had money, would you still want my house and savings? You know very well how your company is doing!"
Fortress's face turned sour; my father-in-law and mother-in-law felt very uncomfortable. I said, "Divorce is fine, but I want everyone to give up on you!"
Fortress narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. "I will use all your money to raise my son! What can you do about it?"
I grabbed his collar and said, "I will make sure you leave with nothing!"
Now that the facade was torn apart, I wasn’t afraid anymore. I was determined to turn the tables.
I consulted my legal advisor, my best friend Wang Qian, who said to me, "That scumbag Fortress, can't he see through his own little schemes? Doesn't he know your family's properties are worth tens of millions?"
He certainly knows, but my parents are not optimistic about my marriage with Fortress and will not be giving me those houses.
However, knowing that Fortress has been bullying me even at my company, I cannot let this slide.
My best friend Wang Qian was the first to step up.
She scoffed derisively and flipped through the cooperation contract submitted by Fortress. Indeed, he is a reckless scumbag; not only is he bullying me, but he also attached three unreasonable conditions to the contract presented to my friend. This is a fire that has burned into the lives of my closest friends.
He truly is like a young calf that fears no tiger, having received support from my family and now riding high on his arrogance.
Wang Qian looked indignantly at the contracts sent over by Fortress's brothers.
All of them included these unreasonable clauses.
She felt a sharp pain in her stomach and sat on the sofa in a daze. I opened a bottle of spring water and handed it to her, saying, "I've looked over these contracts; they are all small deals. Just reject them all. I'll have my brother arrange a big deal for you, enough for you to live on for a year."
Wang Qian regained her composure and turned to have her secretary make a call. "Mr. Wei, there's no need to discuss cooperation anymore."
Fortress knew that my family was involved in this matter. My friend Wang Qian rejected all contracts from him and his brothers. What surprised him even more was that Wang Qian managed to rally all the member units of the Sea City Bar Association to raise their service fees for legal consulting and judicial cooperation with Fortress and his brothers to 600%. I looked at these service conditions and added another clause, proposing that for any unreasonable clauses in the contracts, the service fees would be increased tenfold.
Fortress was taken aback, as Sea City and the entire elite lawyer team in the country had joined my best friend's association alliance.
He was so angry that he wanted to kill me.
This was just the beginning.
I felt a bit relieved when I saw the Wei Group's stock price plummet due to negative news and the lawyer association imposing a tenfold service fee. However, seeing Tongtong secretly crying because she couldn't have the snacks that Fortress bought after dinner made me feel sorrowful. I hugged Tongtong and said, "Sweetheart, he is not your dad. I will take you to see your dad, okay?"
Although Tongtong was only two years old, she seemed to understand a lot. She cried in my arms, saying, "Mommy, can we not split up? Does Daddy really not want us anymore?"
The sound of her crying pulled me back to that warm home from the past. I held Tongtong tightly and said, "Okay, Mommy will buy you some snacks, alright?"
Tongtong's situation reached my best friend Wang Qian, who advised me to stay calm. Fortress's counterattack was beginning; he just wanted more money.
Fortress filed for divorce on the grounds that I would be unable to bear children for three years, bringing it up in business discussions with Elder Brother.
Elder Brother called me, saying, "That brat Fortress is acting recklessly. Get a divorce! Sign the divorce agreement immediately!"
Under my brother's urging, I drove back to that place called home with the divorce agreement in hand. The house was empty; all the plants had withered, and the air was filled with the smell of cigarettes. After opening the windows and airing it out for two hours, Fortress appeared before me, holding his child with Huazi.
Hanako followed closely behind Fortress, stepping inside slowly.
Hanako is a Japanese girl who has lived in China for six years, working as a Xiao Ji in a Japanese establishment. Fortress took an immediate liking to her upon seeing her.
However, after getting to know me, he cut ties with Hanako for a year.
When she saw me, Hanako gently embraced the child in Fortress's arms and carefully went to the kitchen to prepare some food for Fortress and the child.
Fortress watched the two of them walk away, a happy smile on his face. But when he lifted his gaze and saw my pale complexion, he sneered, "I can only be a real man in front of Hanako. You may earn more than her and be more capable, but you will never give me the happiness I need!"
Instead of getting angry, I mocked him with a smile, "Is that why you use my money to support your mistress and your illegitimate child?"
Fortress laughed heartily, "That's the only thing I respect about you!"
"I don't need your respect! Just remember to pay me interest on the money you took! You should know that thorny roses are poisonous!" Fortress's expression darkened; he lowered his head in a daze, fiddling with his ashtray. I continued with restraint, "Don't make me look down on you! A dignified Vice President of Wei Group relying on his ex-wife to support his mistress! Don't you have any shame?"
It seemed my words struck a nerve with him; he was momentarily speechless. Hanako entered the living room carrying a water jug, stepping lightly. Their child followed closely behind her, panting as they approached Fortress. The little one hugged Fortress's leg when they got near.
In an instant, Fortress's harsh demeanor softened again. "Isn't my son adorable? You have no idea how happy it is to raise your own child."
Hanako understood his words and shyly nestled beside him. He noticed my face looked as pale as a blank sheet of paper and laughed heartily, "These days, you've made me lose quite a bit of money! I won't easily return the savings you gave me! Supporting you all these years has been like giving myself a subsidy! We may be getting divorced, but I won't give you even a penny!"
