Chapter 7
We agreed to meet one week later to finalize the divorce papers.
On the day of the divorce, I was well–rested, dressed in new clothes, and felt surprisingly calm.
But Alexander looked like he hadn’t slept in days. From a distance, I could see his eyes were already red.
As he walked closer, I could hear the trembling in his voice.
“Eleanor, are we really…”
I didn’t give him a chance to finish.
“We can’t go back, Alexander.”
He didn’t argue anymore. Instead, he handed over the house, the car, and all his savings to
- me.
Without hesitation, I filed a lawsuit against Abigail.
For attempted arson, there was no way she could escape punishment.
When I saw Abigail again, she was sobbing as she clung to Alexander’s arms, her voice filled with desperation.
“Alexander, I can’t go to prison.”
“My parents‘ only wish was for me to live a safe and happy life. Please, help me.
Alexander stiffly pushed Abigail away.
“Your parents wouldn’t want to see you turn into this.”
”
Abigail’s expression froze, and the very next moment, her gaze landed on me. She shot up. with a hysterical scream.

“Why can’t you just let me go? Alexander has already given you everything he had! ISN’T THAT ENOUGH?!”
“The fire was just an accident!! Why can’t you just LET IT GO?!”
Watching her unraveling sanity, I couldn’t help but laugh out.
“Alexander giving me his assets was his way of making up for his own mistakes. It has nothing to do with you.”
“As for whether the fire was an accident or not, let’s check the surveillance footage, shall
We?”
Abigail’s face went pale, and she muttered in disbelief:
“Impossible… Everything was burned to ashes. How could you have any footage?”
“If you really had it, you would’ve shown it ages ago. You’re just trying to scare me. It was an accident!”
Ismiled slightly, staring at Abigail.
“Did you not know surveillance can be backed up online? How pitiful.”

“The only reason I hadn’t shown it before was because I was stuck under interrogation, waiting for the right opportunity.”
Alexander’s eyes closed in defeat, while Abigail lunged at me like a madwoman.
I kicked her to the ground and followed up with several harsh blows.
“You used to love accusing me of hitting you, right? Well, now I’m giving you the real thing!”
Abigail screamed in pain, wailing to Alexander:
“Alexander, look at what she’s doing to me!! Help me!”
Alexander’s voice was cold and indifferent.

“You brought it upon yourself.”
“Who made you so despicable to frame others in the first place!?!”
As they continued their pointless argument, I handed over the evidence.
The judgment for Abigail came quickly.
She was sentenced to five years in prison for intentional arson. However, because she was
pregnant, the sentence would be carried out after her child turned one.
As for Alexander, his gross negligence that nearly caused a catastrophe got him fired from his job, blacklisted from future employment.
Desperate, Abigail wanted to marry Alexander, but he not only refused, he also even pressured, her to abort the child.
That unborn child was her last bargaining chip. She went to beg Alexander’s mother, only to be met with vicious ridicule.
When both Alexander and his mother refused to relent, Abigail nearly lost her mind.
Every day, she went to the Caldwell family’s business, throwing tantrums and wailing about how Alexander got her pregnant and refused to take responsibility.
Since she was pregnant, the security guards dared not use force, so they could only watch helplessly as she made a scene.
Her chaotic behavior made everyone aware of how Alexander had once abandoned his wife and child to save his mistress. The Caldwell family’s business rapidly declined.
Before long, while Abigail was throwing one of her wild fits, something happened. She suddenly miscarried.
Having lost her only leverage, not only did she fail to secure a marriage, but her prison
sentence would also be enforced much sooner.
The incident aged Marie overnight, while Alexander seemed to fall into complete despair.
I heard rumors that he constantly asked around about me, and even old acquaintances

cautiously inquired if I was doing well and if there was any possibility of reconciling with him.
I just laughed.
Absolutely impossible!
After leaving Alexander, I no longer had to agonize over whether my husband and his beloved little angel were being too intimate.
With the focus finally back on myself, my life only became smoother.
I had started my own small business, and though I was busy every day, I felt fulfilled and at
peace.
The kind of life I used to live, I never wanted to go back to.
And men like Alexander, I never wanted to see again.
Goodbye, to the wretched past.
I didn’t know what the future held for them, but I knew my own future was going to be bright and beautiful!
