Elijah looked a little hesitant.
“I’ll tell her to get an abortion, okay?”
I continued smirking at him. “You really are a piece of trash.”
After that, I got into Alex’s car. I never even bothered glancing at Elijah.
Soon, my divorce lawyer, Daniel Simmons, called me just to console me. “I’m very confident that there’s a 70% chance of the divorce going through during the second trial. There’s no need to be sad.”
I just smiled faintly. “Had the judge chosen to approve the divorce during the first trial, it would have been great news for Elijah.”
“What do you mean by that?”
I didn’t answer Mr. Simmons‘ question at all.
The truth was, I was ready to launch my counter–attack.
That night, I posted a PDF file that I had prepared in advance. The PDF file consisted of everything ranging from Elijah’s first time cheating with Yvonne to the latest incident in the current timeline.
There were 20 pages of information in that PDF file. All in all, it basically confirmed the fact that Elijah was a cheating piece of shit.
I uploaded the PDF file to Twitter and a bunch of other social media platforms. Soon, Internet users shared the PDF file with their friends and families. Everyone began discussing the contents heatedly.
Then again, I was no fool. I didn’t choose to upload the PDF file just to entertain the
masses.
When I uploaded the file, I made sure to add a caption to the post. “Those who are currently working with Elijah Montgomery, if you choose to work with my best friend, Alexandria Newman’s company, we promise to give you an additional 5% of the profits.” Alex’s company was a large–scale one. No titan would ever offer to give away 5% of the profits.
In just an hour, all of Elijah’s business partners withdrew their investments from his company and bombarded my phone with calls.
“Ms. Braxton, is the post on your social media feed for real?”
“Yes.”

That night, I ironed out the details with the business partners till the wee hours of the morning. Before I went to bed, Alex tapped me on the head.
“Here’s a word of advice; don’t go all soft on him this time, okay?”
Alex knew better than everyone else just how much I had helped Elijah during those years when Elijah started his second business. I had pushed myself the hardest during the time I stayed up for two consecutive weeks. Back then, I had blacked out all of a sudden.
When I regained consciousness, a nurse told me that I had been asleep for three days in the hospital.
Hence, Alex knew extremely well that Elijah’s business would suffer massively without my resources and connections.
I shook my head in response. “Why would I go all soft on him? I’m more than happy to watch him fall.”
“Now that I heard your answer, I feel a lot more relieved now!” Alex smiled at me in relief.
One month later, Elijah stopped outside my grandmother’s house. He began shrieking at me like a madman.
“Jeanette Braxton, get your ass out here right now! Get the hell out! You have the guts to sabotage me, yet here you are, hiding like a coward!”
Grandma had gone out to do some grocery shopping five minutes ago. So, I walked out of the house casually before leaning against the wall.
