Chapter 4

Ethan's normally arrogant face showed disbelief and panic.

"What do you mean? You want a divorce?"

I laughed coldly.

"Divorce? The marriage certificate is fake. There's no divorce to speak of."

"All these years with you, I was just a free housekeeper, wasn't I?"

The Morrison relatives seized the opportunity to join in.

"Ethan, this woman just claimed to be your wife. What's your relationship with her?"

Ethan's earlier panic vanished in a flash. He gripped Nina's hand tightly.

"Impossible. The one I've always loved is Nina."

"Would I, Ethan Morrison, ever fall for an Uber driver?"

Then Nina smiled and wrapped her arm around his shoulder, looking me up and down.

"Oh, so it's you, that driver from the other day. Just as I thought—dirty car, dirty person."

I clenched my fists, holding back again and again.

Forget it. Arguing with people like this is a waste of life.

But just as I brushed past them, Nina lowered her voice and leaned close to my ear.

"He hasn't let you touch him in a long time, has he? Want to know why?"

"Because he only has me in his heart. And you—dirty and weak, you can't even hold onto your own man."

Hearing those words, I couldn't suppress my anger anymore.

Although I was already numb to Ethan's cheating, I couldn't tolerate the mistress's constant provocations.

But before I could speak, Nina suddenly let go and fell backward down the steps.

She crashed hard at the villa entrance, blood seeping from the back of her head.

The Morrison family members cried out in alarm. Ethan shoved me aside roughly and ran down to help Nina.

"Nina, Nina are you okay... does it hurt..."

Seeing his heartbroken expression, I just felt it was laughable.

Once, to save him, I broke two ribs and used my body to pry open a crushed car door.

Ethan turned his head, eyes red, and shouted at me.

"Anna, have you lost your mind? To get me, you want to kill Nina?"

This was the first time I'd seen him this furious.

I said coldly: "She fell by herself. Are you blind?"

Before I finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through my hand.

It was Ethan's illegitimate son. He was hitting my arm with a scalding hot water kettle.

"Bad person! Don't bully my mom!"

I frowned and pushed the child away. Ethan suddenly rushed over and confronted me.

"You crazy woman, now you want to hurt my son too?"

"Anna, do you only know these dirty tricks?"

Mr. Morrison picked up his phone and aimed it at me. He was livestreaming.

"Everyone come look—the homewrecker making trouble at the real family's home, trying to kill the man's partner, and even attacking the child!"

Watching this absurd scene unfold, I suddenly felt so tired.

No matter how I explained, no one would believe me.

They didn't care about the truth. They just wanted to destroy my reputation.

Ethan kept accusing me, his eyes full of hatred.

"Anna, I must have been blind to ever show you mercy!"

"You've occupied Nina's place for so many years—how dare you lay a hand on him!"

"Get on your knees and apologize to him right now!"

I was so angry I laughed.

"Why should I apologize for something I didn't do?"

"You chose to marry me, you chose to cheat. What do I owe Nina?"

I looked at them one last time, coldly.

"Ethan, you lied to me for seven years. You're the one who owes me."

"I hope you never regret this for the rest of your life."

With that, I ignored everyone's curses and walked straight out.

I told Lily to pick me up and stood by the roadside waiting for the car.

But the next second, a black car came barreling toward me.

I couldn't dodge in time and crashed straight into the hood.
