Once again, Jasper Sterling used a starlet to force me into a divorce. I chose to compromise. The hand holding his cigarette paused slightly. After a long while, he smirked, a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. "So obedient this time?" "Did you realize that going crazy doesn't work, so you're trying a new tactic?" I took off my wedding ring and spoke calmly: "No. I just don't want to be entangled anymore." 1. After a long silence, Jasper snubbed out the cigarette in his hand. Leaning half-against the wall, he spoke leisurely: "Actually, there's no rush." "It's just that Bella's career is on the rise recently." "You constantly harassing her is really annoying." I didn't answer. Stroke by stroke. I seriously signed my name on the divorce papers. Then I said, "Don't worry, I won't do it anymore." Jasper's figure froze slightly, lost in thought. A moment later, he straightened up, his voice carrying a barely perceptible irritation: "Fine. That had better be true." "Otherwise... you know the consequences." My body trembled instinctively. Last time I was forced to divorce, I had an emotional breakdown. I exposed the explicit photos Bella sent to provoke me on the internet. But Jasper sued me for defamation. Afterward, I was doxxed by her fans, my personal information leaked, and I was forced to apologize publicly. That time, after hearing the court rule in his favor... Jasper looked at me going crazy with the same ease and control. Then he raised an eyebrow and dropped a sentence: "Wife, are you satisfied with this result?" It's strange. It was so painful, so suffocating back then. But thinking back on it now. My heart didn't waver at all. I only felt the irony. Carrying my luggage out the door. I looked at the plane ticket in my hand. Belatedly, I realized. I had finally let go of this relationship that left me in such a pathetic state. 2. On the giant screen at Time Square. Bella, endorsing a luxury lipstick brand, smiled confidently and dazzlingly. The image of the little girl baring her claws to provoke me in my memory gradually overlapped. Jasper was right about one thing. Bella's career was indeed on the rise. Those explicit photos not only didn't affect her. Instead, because of her "unapologetic" attitude, fans praised her as a "sober queen." But the first time I discovered Jasper was cheating. It stemmed from Bella's active provocation. At that time, I turned the entire Sterling household upside down. I let everyone know about the scandalous things Jasper did. During that period, all the wealthy wives I was friends with advised me. Advised me to be generous. Advised me to compromise. But I hated it. I hated Jasper for betraying me. Hated him for turning me into a hysterical madwoman. While he lived freely and happily with his mistress in his arms. I was unwilling, and I wasn't willing to compromise. Until that time, a reporter snapped photos of the two of them getting a room at a hotel. The scandal was huge. To protect Bella's future and reputation. Jasper decisively chose to go public with their relationship. At that time, the entire trending list was the love story between the billionaire heir and the female star. Stimulated, I went crazy and ran to Jasper's company, screaming and making a scene in front of him. Jasper held back his anger and let Bella leave first, which only made me break down more. I smashed his head with an ashtray until he bled, cursing him as trash from the dumpster. In the end, he said coldly: "Fine! I'm trash, I cheated. If you can't stand it, divorce me!" When the words fell, both he and I were stunned. But in the end, I spoke first. More hysterical than before, more like a lunatic. "Why should I divorce?!" "Why should I let you and that b*tch be happy?!" "Jasper, you and she deserve to carry the names of adulterer and homewrecker for the rest of your lives!!!" 3. After that, we parted on bad terms. Jasper didn't even come home anymore. The only way I knew his whereabouts was through Bella's Instagram posts showing off their love. Under multiple blows, I decided on an extreme measure: mutual destruction. I posted my marriage certificate with Jasper online, pointing out the fact that the two were cheating. But before the matter could ferment, Jasper made his move. He spent a huge sum to bribe my mother's attending physician, blocking the treatment from abroad. Then he forced me to clarify that the marriage certificate was fake. The moment I heard the news, the blood drained from my face. I didn't even notice Bella's provocative and triumphant look. I almost screamed in a breakdown: "Jasper, you know her illness can't wait!" "You know this will kill her!" "How can you be so cruel!?" But Jasper remained unmoved, still smoking calmly. When I collapsed on the sofa, exhausted. Only then did he put out the cigarette and say slowly: "Wife, don't expect me to show you mercy." "Go clarify. Don't ruin her." At that moment, my heart felt unprecedented suffocation and despair. Like a dying fish, flopping painfully on the shore. I couldn't even believe the man in front of me was the lover I once had. That was also the day I finally decided to end this relationship. 4. But what made me pathetic was far more than this. My mother's illness couldn't wait; I had to choose to compromise. I personally admitted that the marriage certificate was fake, that everything was because of my jealousy and delusion. That tweet's comment section is still filled with filthy language against me. [Sister, are you crazy for men?!] [Psycho, daring to spread rumors that my goddess is a mistress. You have no shame.] [Who wants to slap her to wake her up?] [Crowdfunding, I'll chip in five bucks.] [I'll chip in ten.] ... During that time, I was muddled, like a walking corpse. I could only escape by staying by my mother's hospital bed. Maybe my state was too haggard, even without access to the internet. My mother sensed something was wrong. Sighing, she talked to me about my past with Jasper. Young love is always the purest. In high school, Jasper liked me but felt inferior and didn't dare to reveal his feelings. He just followed me day after day, escorting me home. Until that day, I was targeted by a few thugs. To protect me, Jasper had three ribs broken by sticks. But he gritted his teeth and shielded me firmly underneath him. Afterward, I naturally fell in love with him. At that time, Jasper hadn't been recognized back into the Sterling family yet. He was still that wild kid living with his grandma, not having enough to eat or wear. It was my mother who had been helping him. Even his tuition was paid by my mother. But now, my mother's past kindness became a sharp knife stabbing her. She didn't know what her daughter was facing. I looked at my mother's increasingly haggard face. I thought, let it be. At least, I still have my mother. At least, I haven't lost everything. But fate loves to play tricks on the miserable.
