Naturally, I won the lawsuit. Lily has to pay me a hefty sum for emotional damages,
and today is the day she's supposed to give me the money. Unexpectedly, she eagerly
invited me to meet at a café. Something seemed off—her only leverage now is the
baby she's carrying. I went to the meeting with a needle-shaped camera hidden in
my shirt pocket. Through the glass at the entrance, Lily looked nothing like her usual
charming self. Now, she seemed completely deranged!
Inside the café, she was restless, frequently glancing towards one direction—Karen! I
sat down across from her and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. I'm very
busy."
"Can't you, considering our past as a couple, just let me go?"
Let go? I laughed sarcastically. Who showed mercy on me in my previous life when I
was destitute and left with no one to care for me? "If you're here to talk about this,
you don't need to speak."
Upon hearing this, her breathing became rapid, and her hands gripped the coffee
cup so tightly that the coffee spilled from her shaking hands. She glanced
instinctively towards Karen, as if receiving some sort of signal. Then she abruptly
started to laugh, "There's no way out now, I have no way out! Tyler, it's all your fault!"
With that, she moved closer and tried to slam my hand into her stomach... then
collapsed on the floor, wailing uncontrollably. I was quite exasperated—why do this?
She's sacrificing her own child for nothing. Karen rushed over, "Tyler, how could you
be so heartless? Lily... Lily, are you alright?"
To those unaware, he might seem like a devoted man, but to me, he's utterly
hypocritical. I stayed silent throughout. A stranger called an ambulance for them, and
I followed to the emergency room. Outside, Karen grabbed my collar!
"Tyler, if anything happens to my child, I swear I'll make you pay!"
I pushed him away, "So now it's your child? Didn't you deny it in court?"
"... Shut up! If you don't want the police involved, you'd better give us a sum of
money. Otherwise... that café has surveillance cameras—you can't escape!"
He thought he had everything under control, but he was too arrogant. I pointed to
the police behind him, "Oh, really? Then let's have the police handle it."
He looked back in panic, "Who... who called the police?"
I sneered, "Fool!" I approached the police, "Officers, this is the full surveillance
footage of the incident, including how they tried to frame and blackmail me!" Karen's
face turned pale, "No... it's not like that!"
"They have nothing to do with me. I was just bringing him to the hospital!" As soon
as he finished speaking, he bolted, running away like a coward!
The police took the footage and left, saying they would investigate. Margaret, upon
hearing the news, arrived and, upon learning that Karen had abandoned her
daughter, repeatedly lamented, "Tyler, you truly have a conscience. Rest assured,
once Lily wakes up, I'll give her a good talking-to!"
And then would they reconcile? How shameless! "There's no need for that. The only
reason I'm here today is because your daughter tried another scheme to harm me."
"If you have any unrealistic expectations, don't voice them—it'll just be awkward."
Margaret fell silent. Finally, when Lily came out of the emergency room, I
immediately told her that Karen had abandoned her. She looked bewildered, "No...
that can't be true!"
I laughed coldly, "If he could make you abort the baby just to extort me, it means he
didn't care. Speaking of which, you're truly pitiful—if you had this child, maybe he
would have stayed with you. Now... you have nothing."
"Oh, wait, you still have a pile of debt and lawsuits!"
"No... it can't be! You... you're all lying to me!" She shouted, clutching her head, while
Margaret rushed in from outside to check on her daughter's condition.
Eventually, Lily raised her head, looking innocent, "Husband... I... what's wrong with
I was stunned—did she think my money grew on trees?
Thanks to Margaret's cooperation, I got Lily's bank statements and immediately sued
Karen. With no money, his house was auctioned off by the court! I heard he was
evicted in a pitiful state.
I recovered 600,000 but didn't give Margaret any of it. When she came to beg, I
transferred her 50,000, "I won't hold you accountable for the money your daughter
spent on her lover. This 50,000 is all I'll give. I've done all I can."
Tears filled her eyes as she nodded. I added, "But let me remind you, your daughter
is now completely insane. You're in this dire situation because of her, aren't you?"
With that, I walked away... Margaret would have to make the right choices.
During the annual class reunion, I heard that Lily had been sent to a mental hospital
due to a lack of care and was living a hellish existence. She had lost all sanity and
could no longer speak.
Recently, I was promoted. Classmates tried to curry favor with me by bringing up
Lily's gossip, hoping for some benefit. I responded indifferently, went outside, and
leaned against a wall, smoking.
Not far away, a woman in a mental hospital uniform wandered around, grabbing
passersby, "Have you seen my husband? I lost him!"
"He... he's here at the reunion. Do you know where he is?"
A passerby shoved her away, "Crazy woman, get lost!"
Sitting on the ground, she cried, "He... he was so good to me."
I exhaled a puff of smoke slowly, the scene before me was ironic—how fitting. Too
bad she didn't appreciate it. I extinguished my cigarette, ready to go back inside
when I heard more commotion.
Lily was seen tackling a delivery man, pressing him to the ground, "It's all your fault...
if it weren't for you, my husband wouldn't have abandoned me!"
