- 7.
Tiffany was waiting outside the courthouse.
As soon as we walked out, she grabbed his
arm.
“Don’t worry babe. I can do everything that
く
Sarah does. I’ll sweet talk all those wives and
get the deals back.”
I laughed, as if someone like Tiffany had that
power!
The day after I got my certificate, I sold all my
shares in Mark’s company to his competitors.
I couldn’t help but laugh when I thought of the
look on his face when saw his competition
sitting across from him.
I took the money and started my own.
business, hired all of Mark’s former
employees, and made my move.
Same industry, same resources, and I was
able to do great.

Mrs. Williams came to my business opening.
She nodded in satisfaction at my new place.
“I don’t have any gifts for you, so I’ll give you
the Williams deal. You were the one who was
doing all the work, so I’m comfortable
knowing that you are going to handle it.”
With Mrs. Williams’s help, all of Mark’s
biggest clients moved. r business over to
- me.
It wasn’t long before my new company
overshadowed Mark’s.
Mark called me, sounding exhausted, “I can’t
believe you’d destroy me after we used to
love each other! I didn’t think you would take
all of my clients!”
<
I laughed. “Mr. Harrison, what ‘love‘ are you
talking about? I was the one who got all of
those clients, it makes sense that they would
come with me. They’re not dumb, why would
they stay with someone so emotionally
unstable? Everyone knows about your love
craze.
Mark shouted, “Sarah! We were a couple,
how can you hate me so much?”
“Hate you?! A cheating piece of garbage, why
wouldn’t I hate you!”
I hung up.
After that, I threw myself into my work. I
didn’t realize they were going to try to make
me their problem.
My assistant rushed in, holding a phone.
“Ms. Parker, you need to see this.
It was an article with pictures of me walking
out of an OBGYN, with a man walking behind
- me.
It was angled to make it look like he was
putting his arm around
My assistant was frowning, “They are saying
you got your business by being someone’s
mistress. They posted all sorts of pictures of
you, trying to smear your name.”
“Ms. Parker, are you going to clarify?”
I looked at the photos and understood.
く
Someone was trying to make me look bad.
And there was only one person who would do
something like this.
I tossed the phone down, “I have nothing to
hide.”
The scandal spread like wildfire. Even my
parents in my hometow
t wind of it.
My dad called angrily, “You got divorced and
didn’t tell us, and now you are getting
attacked online?! Do you even see us as your family?”
My nose stung, and my eyes filled with tears.
“Dad, I can handle it. When this is over, I’ll
visit you at home.”
く
The next day, I went back to the OBGYN and I
saw Tiffany.
She saw me, and gave me an evil smile.
“Oh, hi, Sarah. What are you doing here? Are
you pregnant? Well, that’s something, after all
of the talk about how you couldn’t, and then
bam, pregnant after the divorce!”
Mark, with a bag of medicine, came up
behind her. His face was full of worry.
“You are pregnant with another man’s child?”
I looked at them coldly, “Does it matter to
you? Mr. Harrison, keep your wife in check.‘
Mark grabbed me.
<
“You would sell yourself like that for money?
Do you have no shame?”
Tiffany, making sure that everyone could hear
her, was loud, “Some women are just trashy,
getting pregnant by some random guy. Are
you a mistress even before you’re divorced?!”
I turned to her, “You think everyone is as
shameless as you?”
Tiffany lifted her chin.
“I am Mrs. Harrison, and my child is
legitimate. Unlike you, we have no idea where
your child came from.”
“Why isn’t that random man here to support
you today?”
<
“Is the ‘random‘ man referring to me, Mrs.
Harrison?”
The man from the photos stepped out from
behind her.
