This entire foundation is my hard work. Stella, in these past few years, not only quit her job to be a stay-at-home mooch, but she also constantly secretly took my money to spend on Brandon. How could I ever bring myself to give half my assets to someone like that?So, I smiled at Stella and said, “Alright, don’t be angry. I’ll let you go.”Stella’s eyes instantly lit up. “Really?”I nodded. “Really.”Stella immediately threw herself into my arms. “Oh, honey, you’re the best! Don’t worry, I promise I won’t do anything to betray you!”
I felt a surge of nausea, but to avoid suspicion, I kept quiet.Stella finished her perfunctory embrace, then quickly pulled out her phone and sent Brandon a voice message: “My husband agreed to let me go to the party with you! Come pick me up quickly before he changes his mind.”Not long after, Brandon’s car pulled up outside our house.I saw Stella out. She immediately got into the passenger seat and winked at Brandon playfully, as if boasting about successfully pulling off a lie.She rolled down the window, turned to me, and said, “Darling, go back inside. Don’t worry about me. Brandon will take good care of me. Besides, we’re going to a respectable party, not the kind of dirty party you have in your head.
Just relax.”With that, she urged Brandon to drive away.The moment the car pulled away, I saw Brandon glance at me through the window, a look of mockery, triumph, and a hint of disdain on his face.I knew that was the look of a man who successfully stole someone else’s beloved woman.But I smiled too, because I knew that before long, that despicable duo would be rotting in jail.
