Chapter 8
I cast a detached glance at the photos.
In one image, Tina’s dress had been pulled down, exposing her bare back as she as she was lying flat on David.
I shifted my gaze back to Tina, who stood across
from me.
I had to admit, she was beautiful–a universally acknowledged dumb beauty.
When Allen was alive, he doted on her to an extreme degree.
Even now, she couldn’t handle simple tasks like cooking, doing laundry, or paying the electric

bill.
A woman spoiled in this way was bold and fearless.
She could even flaunt flaunt another woman’s husband as her trophy, after seducing him.
Seeing my silence, Tina grew even more smug.
“Honestly, I should thank you. If you hadn’t had that big fight with him that night, he wouldn’t have turned around and climbed into my bed!”
I let out a laugh and raised an eyebrow.
“So you slept together? And?”
The calmer I appeared, the more restless she became.

Tina could no longer maintain her façade of feigned innocence.
“So why do you still have the nerve to stay with him?”
She leaned in closer, “Didn’t you say you wanted a divorce? Was it you?! You’re the one who had him block me, right? Now you’re playing hard to get, dangling him like a puppet. Charlotte, how shameless can you be?!”
I finally snapped, elbowing her aside.
“Tina, get this straight. I filed for divorce. It’s David who can’t let go of me, and
you are
simply incompetent. When it comes to being shameless, no one can compete with you. You pounce on any man like a rabid dog.”

Tina’s facade shattered, and with her long, manicured nails, she lunged at me.
“Shut up! Shut up! You bitch! You’re the one who’s useless! Just watch me tear that ugly mouth of yours apart!”
Tina pressed her whole body against me, and in her fluster, the pendant around her neck slipped free.
The hallway was dimly lit.
As the silver glinted, I stared at the pendant in
shock for a few seconds.
How could this pendant be on her?!
In my moment of distraction, Tina seized the

opportunity and yanked my hair.
Barely two seconds after feeling the pain in my scalp, I kicked her away with all my strength.
Caught off guard, she collided with the corner of the stairs, blood immediately seeping from her forehead.
Suddenly, David’s voice rang out.
“Charlotte?! Are you okay?!”
David rushed over to help me up, inspecting me left and right until he finally relaxed.
This scene tore through Tina completely.
Tears streamed down her face.

“David, it… it was her! She deliberately
provoked me, forcing me to react. It’s not what you think!”
“I… I just wanted to see you. I was only asking where she was…”
Η
Before she could finish, David interrupted with a cold glare.
“Enough, Tina! Didn’t I tell you? I have no ties to you anymore. Charlotte is my wife, and you need to stop bothering her.”
He wrapped his arm around me, ready to leave, but Tina stubbornly clung to him.
“If she’s your wife, then what am I? What do I mean to you?! David, didn’t you promise to take care of me for life?!”

Tina shot me a look filled with hatred.
A month of neglect and David’s defense of me had finally shattered her spirit.
Tina desperately grasped the hem of David’s shirt, only to realize it was futile.
She couldn’t hold back her urge to lash out at
- me.
“It’s all your fault! You must have been stirring up trouble behind my back! You bitcht! Otherwise, how could he treat me like this?! It’s all because of you, you wretched woman!!”
David’s expression darkened, and he shoved her hard to the ground.

Then, he hurried to clarify, “I said I would take care of you, but that was only for Allen’s sake. Tina, don’t get the wrong idea; I will not divorce Charlotte.”
David thought I was unaware of his infidelity, still putting on an act of loyalty like a devoted dog.
Tina’s expression twisted further with jealousy.
She lunged toward David, crying.
“You actually hit me? If you have the guts, do it again! Just go ahead and kill your child!!”
Child?!
Tina was pregnant?!
