In the fifth month of my pregnancy Bed Rest, I suddenly found a few Prenatal Vitamins in my husband's bag. Isn't that only for preparing for pregnancy? Before I could figure it out, a message popped up on the Baby Countdown App on my phone: [Congratulations, you're about to be a dad! Baby due date is September 1st, let's count down together!] I was stunned, this is the app shared by me and my husband. And my baby's due date is April. I immediately called my husband, he picked up in seconds, but tone was impatient: "Today is the first day of me and Chloe's company establishment, busy." Right, how could I forget. Today is the day he and his "female bro" start a company together. I smiled, hung up the phone, turned around and drove to their new company. Dad is going to be a dad again, how can it do without my congratulations? ... Chapter 1 Car parked under the tallest building in Silicon Valley, but mood completely different from last time. Three months ago, I rented this floor, renovated it. Told him this is the startup base I prepared for him. He was so excited then he hugged me and spun three times, said he would definitely make me and dad look at him with new eyes. But now, I actually came here to catch adultery. Moment elevator door opened, I almost thought I walked into wrong place. Whole office area was painted pink. I hate pink most, avoid it since childhood. He couldn't possibly not know. "Hello, who are you looking for?" Receptionist girl asked politely. I looked directly at the office behind her, "I'm looking for your boss, Julian Vance." "Mr. Vance is in the office, but..." Girl glanced at my bulging belly, hesitated, "Ms. Chloe is also there, they are in a meeting, how about you wait a bit?" Ms. Chloe? Chloe? I didn't pay attention to receptionist anymore, directly lifted foot walked inside, "It's okay, I'm his wife, just go in directly." Girl's face flashed a trace of awkwardness. Colleagues around started whispering: "Ah? Isn't Ms. Chloe Mr. Vance's wife?" "I think this woman is the mistress right?" "Exactly, Mr. Vance for Ms. Chloe, actually ordered whole company painted pink, even our uniforms are pink, how possible Ms. Chloe isn't the original wife?" "This woman saw people couple start company envious, come up to make trouble for title right?" "If she knew Ms. Chloe has half of company shares, you say will she cry and run out later?" No wonder Julian always said not let me come, turns out because Mrs. Vance here is someone else. Hearing these words, I actually wasn't very angry, instead felt quite funny. Half shares? This company's 100% startup capital was all taken by me. If not Julian said he didn't hope after our child born, my dad still look down on him, I wouldn't support him startup so much. More ridiculous is, I saw Chloe's Instagram last night, saw her proudly holding champagne, caption: [Start company with good bro, rely on you later.] I then knew, turns out Julian's so-called startup for me, is startup with Chloe. As for Chloe, she didn't pay a single cent. Pass through open office area, innermost independent office door slightly open. Through glass window, I saw Julian and Chloe two so-called CEOs actually share one office. Two people sitting side by side looking at computer. Just wanted push door in, inside came Chloe's coquettish voice, "Stinky son, look is dad's plan okay?" Julian naturally put hand on her thigh, "Listen to you, whatever you say." My hand on door handle, didn't move. Only heard Julian continue say, "Unlike some people, whole day just know money money money, full body copper smell, don't understand these at all." "You are still much better than her." Chloe playfully stretched out hand poked his chest, "Stinky son, told you early not marry that kind of Trust Fund Baby you didn't listen, now deserve it right?" Voice just fell, I saw Julian actually directly pressed her on table, kissed down, "You understand what?" "Am I not spending her money to raise you and baby in belly now?" Although I long imagined this scene, but see with own eyes, still couldn't help heart twitch pain a bit. Thoughts return, I turned leave. Not want let go them, but I suddenly thought of a better way to revenge them. Chapter 2 Just walked out of office building, I took out phone and video called Julian. He who just said I was full of copper smell, still picked up in seconds. Just his face redder than just now, breath also a bit unstable, "What's wrong? Didn't I say busy?" I smiled especially bright: "Oh, nothing big, just want congratulate you." "Congratulate what?" He stunned a bit. I elongated tone, still smiling said: "Congratulate you ah, Daddy going to be Daddy again." "September due date, quite good, autumn birth not cold not hot, you think really thoughtful." Julian face instantly white, "You, what nonsense you talking?" I thought thought, filmed scenery behind myself, "I talk nonsense, or you feel need me personally go up congratulate you?" "Julian Vance, did you forget we shared a countdown app?" Hearing my words, video that end silent few seconds. That was he actively wanted bind with me, said want commemorate our every anniversary. But soon Julian adjusted expression, skin smile meat not smile: "Did your pregnancy paranoia act up again?" "That is countdown I set for Chloe, her company opening day, where you thought?" "Is it?" I raised eyebrow, "Then prenatal vitamins in your bag? Also you eat yourself?" He stunned, turned angry from shame, "That is Chloe asked me help her buy, what happened?!" "She health not good need eat this, what happened?!" "Can you not suspicious whole day? Pregnant just troublesome, annoying not annoying?" I stared at his familiar yet strange face in screen, suddenly felt disgusting. "Julian, let's divorce." I calmly said. He leaned forward, "What did you say?" I looked at him, word by word said: "I said, divorce." Before he answer, I directly hung up phone. Then opened social media, posted photos found by Private Investigator spent heavy money this morning. That is Julian and Chloe kissing side profile in front of hotel, and that pregnancy test report Chloe posted on alt account. Caption: [My husband and his female bro relationship really good ah, even help give birth.] Posted, less than two minutes. Phone crazy vibrate, all messages and calls. Saw Julian video call, I pressed answer. Result he split head cover face just a burst accusation, "Serena! What you posted on social media!" "Do you know how sad Chloe cried after seeing!" "You hurry delete for me!" And behind him, is Chloe crying pear blossom bring rain face. She crying pulling Julian sleeve, "Serena since married you disliked me, but I knew you earlier than her ah, does she want us cut off friendship then satisfy?" "Start company together is also our childhood dream, didn't expect make her unhappy, find some wrong angle photos to slander me." "Stinky son, if because you I can't marry out, you responsible for me?" Julian turned head full eyes heart ache looking at her. And I just sneered, "I also didn't say anything ah, aren't you relationship good? I said wrong?" "Julian, you call me is agree divorce?" "If not, then I here still have many, I slowly post." Before I didn't less make noise break up and divorce because Julian and Chloe too close, but every time I let him go because no substantial evidence. This time see me so firm, he suddenly laughed. "Okay Serena, I know you are too love me then think too much." "But you also can't have no ambition at all, whole day only know some love love, random jealous ah." "You whole day at home do nothing I didn't say anything, you stop making trouble." Hearing these words, compare heart pain, I more is heart cold. My health always not good, not suitable for pregnancy. But for Julian, I topped pressure and safety still wanted. Before this one, I already lost two because immunity problem. And this one, although already kept to five months, but also threatened miscarriage many times. Just because want keep child, I then chose stay at home. But now, Julian actually dislike me do nothing at home. See me not speak, Julian continue said: "Hurry delete social media post, just say is you jealous me and Chloe start company spread rumor." "Then public apologize to Chloe, otherwise I..." He words not finish, I directly hung up. Then, I posted few Julian and Chloe hotel records, [My husband really a romantic person, every time open room want floor window.] Posted mood much better. Just front foot posted, I was blocked at community gate by mother-in-law and sister-in-law Lily. Mother-in-law saw me, immediately rushed in, pointed my nose scold, "You poison woman!" "My son hard easy have some promise, you just red eye?" "Actually still deliberate arrange him and Chloe relationship, what heart you have?" Lily also follow scold: "Sister-in-law, you also too excessive right?" "Chloe in our eyes like god sister, knew for decades, if really have thing early had, need wait till now?" "I see you just can't see my brother good!" I leaned on door frame, quietly watch them perform. Wait them scolded tired, I then slow slow open mouth: "Mom, congratulate you ah, gonna be grandma again." Mother-in-law stunned, subconsciously turned head away. Just this one action, I understood all. "Turns out you long knew." I laughed out sound, "So Chloe pregnant matter, you always hide from me?" "Your son cheat, you not only not manage, still help him lie to me?" Mother-in-law reacted, roared: "You don't blood mouth spray people!" I smiled, take out phone continue said: "Is or not, let Chloe do a fetus paternity test not know." Finished, I slanted eye at them, "Right, I already contacted lawyer, divorce agreement can get tomorrow." "Every cent he spent on Chloe during marriage, I want chase back." "Include this company, and company startup fund, you guys a cent don't think take away." "You dare!" Lily rushed up want push me. I back a step, protect belly, coldly stare her: "You dare touch me try?" Just then, outside door came rapid footsteps. Julian panting ran back, face iron green, suppressing anger said: "Mom, Lily, you go back first." I frowned, "They go back also can't change my idea want divorce." "You crazy?" Julian face change, "Just because those non-existent photos?" "Serena, Chloe she really just my friend, my startup partner, no experience, so I then take care her a bit more." "Those social occasions, she looks good, go talk client people boss directly signed, company can't leave her." I stare him, word by word: "Really can't leave her?" "Really." Julian nod, "You have to believe me, my heart to you never changed." "Those photos all angle problem, you delete post, I promise later keep distance with Chloe, okay?" I look up at him, suddenly laughed. He doesn't know, this company is just one subsidiary in my family company. When I gave company to him, just thinking let him start from small. Those so-called meet sign partners, also just Sterling Group old customers I arranged. I thought wait branch company do good later, he can logical go to dad front. Didn't expect, he not only really thought is his own, still bold to directly betray me. Chapter 3 See me not speak, Julian thought I soft heart, continue persuade: "Serena, you now pregnant, emotion unstable I understand." "But you can't measure gentleman belly with villain heart ah, Chloe really did nothing wrong." "You do this, company all want be destroyed by you." Lily also hurry nod, "Yes ah Sister-in-law, my brother hard easy have some career, you can't support a bit ma?" "You no ability just at home good good give birth, don't red eye others okay?" Hearing them say these words, I suddenly felt quite fun, perfunctory nodded, "Okay." Julian sighed relief. Personal see me deleted post after, he send mother-in-law and Lily leave. And I turn head call dad a phone, "Dad, I tomorrow want use headquarters shareholder identity attend Julian branch company opening ceremony." Next morning, Julian see me follow him, unhappy frown, "You go where?" "I told you, that occasion not suitable you, you at home good good rest just fine." I stunned a bit, nod: "Okay, I know." I obediently answer. Wait he go out, I immediately changed into a black dress, fix makeup, drive follow behind him. I quietly sit in corner, saw Julian right gentle holding Chloe hand on stage. Crowd all envy, say they couple file very eye catching. Julian holding microphone, voice loud, "Company and our child same day born, my wife and child are my blessing." "I believe future have them behind me, our company definitely will steam steam day up!" Chloe lean on his shoulder, eyes contain tears. Below stage another burst cheer. Just when Julian prepare continue speak, I slowly stood up, "Mr. Vance, you use my money, raise your person, asked me agree ma?" "You, why you came?" Julian voice shaking. "Why I can't come?" I take out a red small book from bag, raise over head. Then loud said: "Everyone, sorry interrupt a bit, self introduce." "I call Serena Sterling, is Julian Vance legal wife." "This is our marriage certificate, me and him never divorced." Whole field uproar. Chloe face pale, subconscious back retreat. Julian rush down stage want snatch my microphone, blocked by security. Below stage fried pot, whisper sound one after another. "This also too scum right?" "Wife pregnant still outside find mistress?" "Also hide from wife bring mistress to company opening ceremony official announce, so scum!" Hearing these words, Julian break security block, rush over grab my wrist, lower voice in my ear low roar: "Serena Sterling! You enough!" "I just guessed you won't so good talk, all blame me, I should lock you up right!" Finished, he fierce look up at everyone, smiling said: "Sorry, let everyone see joke." "This woman hand holding, is forged marriage certificate." "I just helped a hand when she was offended by people, result she just賴 (rely) on me not go, still insist say in her belly is my child!" "My wife, only Chloe one person!" Hear words mother-in-law and Lily hurry stood up, "Correct correct! My son is CEO, how possible betray my daughter-in-law!" "Exactly!

"Do half day, turns out this person is shameless mistress ah?" "Means in her belly is raped wild seed? Want let Mr. Vance happy be dad, she crazy right?" "Mr. Vance just too kind then help her, now good, be entangled." Looking at Julian, my brain buzz a sound explode. I Serena Sterling am East City Sterling family most favored daughter, and Sterling family is century family, extremely famous in East City. I incredible looking him, "Julian, you this is for Chloe, give up Sterling family son-in-law identity is it?" "If be known by my dad and three brothers, you finished!" He force drag tight my wrist, "You also know is Sterling family, but here not East City!" "Today people present, simply no one know you!" "Even I drive you out, also no one say me!"

My dad, and three thunder wind action brothers step together walked in, "Even my Sterling family daughter dare bully! Is think I dead?!" Chapter 4 See Dad and three brothers appear moment, Julian face instant become pale. Dad and brothers behind even follow whole Sterling Group legal team, aura strong let venue air solidify. "Chairman Sterling?" Below stage have guest recognize Dad, voice shaking. "God, that is Sterling Group Chairman!" "Sterling? Just that market value hundred billion Sterling?" Whisper sound one after another, everyone gaze move back forth between me and Dad. Big brother directly walk to stage, a grab microphone from Julian hand, "Everyone, I come formal introduce."
