Thinking back to the tragedy of my past, to the heartbreaking faces of my parents, I felt an endless sorrow. Tears wouldn’t stop rolling down my cheeks. I always felt it was my fault, that their biggest mistake was having , a person who loses all sense after falling in love. When I cried, it was like I lost the ability to speak. I just stood there, clutching the photo, crying so much that I couldn’t utter a word. This was the first ti I broke down so badly in front of Damon since my rebirth. I watched him stand up and walk towards . He hesitated for a mont before his hand ca up to cradle my cheek, his thumb gently wiping away my tears. He sighed, "What are you crying for?" "You said you wanted a divorce, and I agreed!" I tried to control my emotions, choking back sobs, "What else do you want? You can give less money, but please, don’t do anything to my parents! They’re still your in-laws!" "You’re the one who said you wanted a divorce." Damon corrected , annoyance creeping into his voice. "I never ntioned divorce. How many tis have you brought it up?" I ntioned divorce because I know you want it!" I looked up at him, "Don’t you love Ariel? Don’t you intend to give her a future? Wouldn’t it be better if we divorced sooner?" Damon just looked down at . His eyes had this irresistible pull. They were always so cold. I rarely saw warmth in his eyes. He kept saying he didn’t want to divorce, but he never denied his feelings for Ariel. "You don’t need to say anything more, and you don’t need to threaten with these photos. I don’t need your money. My parents can support just fine." Damon’s silence brought another wave of heartache. I didn’t want to stay here anymore. After saying all that, I ran back to my room, grabbed my coat, and prepared to leave. As I changed my shoes at the door, I glanced at Damon, still standing in the living room. With a nasal voice, I said, "When you give the divorce papers, give these photos as well"
Consider it a trade. After rushing out of Silver Estates, I called Jas to pick up. Half an hour later, I was on my way back to Starlight Estates.
"Ma’am, you’re dressed too lightly. You’ll catch a cold," Jas was considerate today. I’m fine, I sniffed. The car was warm, but my hands and feet were still cold. What was even colder was my heart. When I got ho, I imdiately took a hot bath to warm up. Once I had ward up, I wrapped myself in my pajamas and checked the unread ssages and missed calls on my phone. In the group chat, Luna was constantly shouting at , "Eliana, has Damon fallen for you? Did he take you away just now?" Clara said, "I also think it’s too outrageous." Sofia sent a few surprised gifs. Luna: Lily and I are no longer friends. She fully understands your relationship with Damon and even invited to play with him. Is she trying to make uncomfortable or you uncomfortable? It’s so annoying. Yesterday I almost had a big fight with her. Clara said, "That woman is really not good. Stay away from her." Luna said, "Of course! We’ve broken up!! Eliana, where are you?! Did Damon take you away?" Then there were endless gossip ssages. The three of them chatted until 3 a.m. I had a headache reading it all. Damon is in love with ? I gave a bitter laugh then texted Luna about Damon getting the photos of my dad. Then I saw a ssage from Joshua last night, "Eliana, rry Christmas! Do you have ti to hang out?" five minutes later, Joshua said, "Alright, you might be busy. Have fun." Next was a ssage from Jones:, "Reply when you wake up." I didn’t want to reply to him. I was mad at him for the ga last night. I always thought he was a just and self-disciplined ideal man, but is he really as I imagined?
Impossible. Jones also had the potential to go crazy, otherwise, how could he have fought so fiercely with Damon during my past life? Luna probably hadn’t woken up yet. I decided to get so food first. Halfway through my al, Luna called. Her voice was filled with anger, "My God, Damon is too cunning! He doesn’t agree to divorce you because he wants to find your weaknesses first? Rich people really know how to sche!" It seed she thought the sa as . "Maybe" I took a sip of soup, my voice calm, "Luna, accompany to Springvale tomorrow. I want to talk to Monica’s husband or her son." "Okay" Luna agreed without hesitation. Early the next morning, I asked Jas to drive to Luna’s house. After picking her up, we headed to Springvale. Monica’s husband, Oscar, ran a car repair shop, but because he loved to gamble, his shop was often closed. As expected, when we arrived, the shop was closed. I looked around and walked into a small supermarket across the street. I bought a lot of stuff. When I was checking out, I asked the owner, "Why is the car repair shop across the street closed? My car has a small problem and I wanted to find a professional to check it out." "Haha, you better go sowhere else to fix it. The shop across the street probably won’t open until the end of the year." The owner’s words were tinged with mockery. "Why? Isn’t it profitable? The location is quite good!" Luna asked. "The owner of the repair shop is a gambler. These two days he probably won so money and has been at the casino every day!" The owner inford us, After finding out the location of the casino, we hurried there.
Sure enough, Oscar was there playing cards. Just as I was about to go in and call him out, a woman appeared not far away. Her face had the marks of being hit, her eyes were bloodshot, and her lips were torn. Her gaze was venomous, staring at hatefully without moving. Luna tugged at , "Oh my God, isn’t that the woman? What is she doing here?" "Eliana." Monica stiffly walked up to and forced a smile, "Why are you here again? Are you here to mock ?" "What the heck are you talking about?" I was totally clueless. Stop playing dumb. Wasn’t it you who helped Oscar clear his debts, which got dragged back here?" Monica’s eyes were filled with resentnt. "You know what? I was this close, this freaking close to divorcing him! It’s all your fault! You screwed over!" Just as she finished, Monica grabbed my neck like a maniac, I was instantly choking. The commotion drew everyone in the casino out, Oscar among them. "Crazy bitch, let her go!" Luna swung her purse at Monica, trying to make her let go. But Monica was like a lunatic, refusing to let go. It wasn’t until Oscar charged over and kicked her away that I could finally breathe.
