Chapter 2

When we stepped outside, Cassy broke the silence.

“I made a guest appearance today. Remember to treat me to a nice meal next time.”

With the act over, exhaustion washed over me like a tidal wave. I leaned against the cold wall and chuckled.

“You’ll definitely get your free meal.”

She fell silent for a moment, then lowered her voice, “Getting a divorce isn’t that simple. I’ll cover your father’s medical bills for now.”

I nodded and thanked her.

After dropping her off, I rushed back to the home I shared with Sophia.

Divorce was inevitable. However, there was another crucial matter. I had to uncover the truth behind the collapse of the Crossport Bridge.

I opened the bedroom door and got ready to pack my bags.

The room was filled with things that did not belong to me.

The minimalist style I had once favored had been completely replaced.

Yohan’s clothes were hanging brazenly in my closet.

All of my belongings were gone.

No wonder he was so bold. He had already made himself at home.

The door suddenly swung open, and Yohan stood before me with a smirk.

He gave me a pitying look. “Tsk. Mr. Tate, you used to look down on everyone, and now, you have finally been kicked out. Let me ask you something. How do you feel right now?”

I did not look at him. I snapped the suitcase shut. “Where did you crawl out from? The sewers? Every word you say stinks.”

“You!”

Yohan’s face turned red with rage as he glared at me. After a moment, he suddenly burst into violent laughter. He gasped for breath as he spoke.

“Javier Tate, you’re about to lose even the title of ‘president’. I can’t wait to see you during your moment of ruin.”

I paused. My heart skipped a beat.

But the bridge accident was still a whole year away…

So the seeds of this conspiracy were sown so long ago.

“Crack!”

A piercing sound of something shattering erupted suddenly.

I looked in the direction of the noise and saw a pile of broken bracelet pieces on the floor.

That was clearly the inheritance my mother left behind!

Blood rushed to my head in an instant.

“Yohan Sander!”

I sat up abruptly and glared at him. “How dare you touch my belongings?!”

Yohan shrugged. His expression was utterly indifferent. “Sophie said I can do whatever I want with everything in this house.

“That includes you. Even if I beat you up, Sophie would only praise me for being capable!”

He glanced at the bracelet shards with disdain and spoke.

“This bracelet is truly ugly. How could it possibly be worthy of her?”

I could not take it any longer. My fist, fueled by the rage of two timelines, slammed hard into his face.

I let out a cold laugh.

“My lawyer will make you pay for that bracelet!

“And by the way, I don’t know what you’re so smug about. She’s just a used-up woman I no longer want. Is picking up a used-up woman really worth getting so excited over?

“Or is it that you just like things other people have discarded?

“Since you’re so fond of scavenging, why don’t you just open a junk shop?”

Yohan clutched his right eye and howled in pain. His face was twisted with fury.

I turned my back on him and placed the signed divorce agreement on the table.

I pulled my suitcase toward me and walked out.

Behind me, I could faintly hear Yohan’s angry roars.
