At first, my expression twisted with anger, but then | calmed down. Things were unfolding exactly as i had
expected.
Just yesterday, Jared swore there was nothing between them. He lied.
| was no fool. | planned to pretend ignorance for now and reveal the truth when the twas right.
“Victoria, what are you looking at?” Melissa waved her hand in front of my face.
| snapped out of it | decided to keep this to myself for now and watch how things played out.
“Nothing, just work stuff,” | said, putting my phone away and chatting with Melissa a little longer.
Melissa suddenly looked atwith concem. “Victoria, | told you last tto hold off on divorce and try to win
Jared's favor first, butt heard about a case recently that scared me.”
Hooked up at her. “What case?”

Melissa lowered her head, clearly saddened by the story. “A middle-aged woman got beaten by her husband
because she wouldn't divorce. At court, she found out he had transferred assets and left her with over 300
thousand dollars in debt.”
| felt sad as well. “Women are so powerless in marriage. If her husband is a bastard, she’s got to save herself.”
“That's not my main point” Melissa looked up at me, worried. “When | talked about this case with colleagues,
sof the men said once a man falls for another woman, he sees his ex-wife as an obstacle.
“They don’t just want a divorce. They might even want to harm their wives. To prove how much they love their
mistresses, men could go as far as killing their wives.”
My heart tightened sharply. | wondered if any
man could really be that cruel.
People said that when a man hit it big, the first thing he did was dump his wife. It was like a blind guy who
suddenly got his sight back and threw away the cane he had used for year.
“Are you worried that if | refuse to divorce, Jared might hurt me?” | was grateful Melissa was willing to discuss
this. We all liked to bring positive energy to those around us, but only true friends warned us of lurking dangers.
Melissa shook her head. “Not necessarily, but there's always a chance. Jared doesn’t seem like that kind of man,
and he wouldn't be stingy with money. After all, he’s not just sregular guy struggling to get by.”
“Thanks for tellingall this, | think it over.” I nodded and want to settle the bill.
Melissa invitedto visit a nearby attraction next time, and | agreed.
On the way home, | felt all mixed up inside. What Melissa said really hithard. If a guy cheated just for sex, he
would usually cback. However, it he had fallen for someone else, things would be more complicated.
| wasn't sure if Jared loved Tracy or if it was just physical, but either way, she was pregnant, and the baby was
definitely his. That was enough leverage forto push him into divorce and get my share.
| wondered if Tracy would abort the child again this time, just to please Yvonne
A vicious thought struck me. In my previous life, Tracy had an abortion without Jared knowing, leaving him both
guilty and heartbroken, and he had compensated her handsomely
Yvonne believed Tracy was a good person and did whatever she said, seeing her as a mom,
