Chapter 10

That evening, Lily carried our daughter to me with an icy expression.

"Have you been unfaithful to me?" she demanded bluntly.

My face changed and I firmly denied it: "Honey, what's wrong? I would never be unfaithful to you."

Lily glared at me and cursed: "You went to a hotel with another woman, are you still trying to lie to me?"

Like any man caught cheating, I refused to admit it no matter what.

She slapped the evidence on the table - a stack of photos of me hugging Lisa and entering a hotel.

The evidence was irrefutable. I could only lower my head.

"Honey, I'm sorry, I... I was confused, I was momentarily bewitched." I pretended to be terrified and begged pitifully, which was exactly what Lily wanted.

She burst into loud sobs, carrying our 3-year-old daughter and running up to the roof.

Below was a drop of several dozen meters. With tears streaming down her face, she accused me of betraying this family.

The neighbors were all alarmed and came to watch.

Lily's parents and her good-for-nothing brother happened to appear at this exact moment.

The timing was so perfect, not a second off.

They seemed to suddenly understand everything.

Her parents grabbed the neighbors and told them how heartless I was, how I had wronged Lily, that I was a ungrateful scumbag who forgot his wife as soon as he saw another woman.

Her brother Jack was even more enraged. He grabbed a kitchen knife and tried to rush at me.

I was the target of everyone's anger, my reputation ruined.

Reputation, I didn't care about.

All I cared about was my daughter...

And the assets I had worked so hard to accumulate.

I couldn't let them go to outsiders!
