I booked a flight that would depart in five days. After that, I texted my lawyer. This time, I was bent on getting custody of my baby.
After doing all those things, I got up and made my way toward the bedroom. Right now, I wanted to have a good night’s sleep.
Elijah hollered at me angrily while glaring at my receding silhouette. “I’m talking to you here! Where the hell do you think you’re going?”
“I’m going to bed.” I turned to look at Elijah calmly.
The moment I entered the bedroom, I could hear loud crashes coming from the living room.
The divorce preparations were carried out just as planned.
Three days later, I was about to pack my luggage when I received a phone call from Elijah. “I’m in the outdoor bar at Bellmond Beach. Get your ass here. Now.”
It was extremely windy at Bellmond Beach. Since I was still recuperating, I couldn’t possibly visit that place.
I wanted to turn Elijah down, but he began spamming my phone with calls after that.
By the time I reached the outdoor bar at Bellmond Beach while clad in thick clothes, I saw Yvonne and Elijah sitting very closely with each other.
Their friends eyed me up and down before scoffing. “Yvonne didn’t lie to us at all! Turns out Elijah’s mistress really is a fatass!”
Yvonne took a sip of red wine while gazing at me. “Sorry about that. I lost the last round of truth or dare, so I was given two options—either I have to kiss the lead singer of the bar’s live band, or I have to summon Elijah’s mistress here.
“Elijah forbade me from kissing other men, so he said I should summon you here instead. You can leave now.”
Yvonne might sound apologetic, but if one were to pay attention to her tone and wording, they’d know that she actually sounded quite smug.
I frowned at Elijah. He looked down awkwardly, choosing not to say anything to me.
So, it turned out that Elijah’s friends thought of me as the shameless mistress all this time.
Furious, I was about to speak up when I saw Yvonne tilting her head haughtily in order to show off her solid gold necklace.
I approached her instantly and grabbed the necklace. Then, I tore it off her neck.
“What the hell, you stupid fatso?” The annoyed Yvonne tried to snatch the necklace back from me.
I stuffed the necklace into my handbag, my expression already stormy.
“Elijah used the money from our joint marital assets to buy this necklace for you. I can always retrieve this necklace whenever I want to.”
I had asked my lawyer about the lavish monetary gifts before. He told me that I could still get everything refunded back to the joint account.
Yvonne’s expression became icy at that moment. She retorted darkly, “How dare you steal my personal belongings under broad daylight! I’ll have you know that I can get you arrested for that!”
“Do you want me to call the cops, then?” I wasn’t scared in the slightest.
Elijah could tell that I was being serious, so he snatched my phone out of my hand with a frown.
“That’s enough! Stop kicking up a ruckus. You should go home first.”
The sight of his worried expression made my heart sink.
