Lily had liked Stephen since college, but at that time, Stephen was pursuing me, and she was heartlessly rejected.
After Stephen and I got married, Lily slowly started to reconnect with him.
At first, Lily was the one making the moves, and Stephen treated her coldly. It wasn't until Lily joined our company and used work as an excuse to frequently approach Stephen that he began to take the bait.
One day, Stephen took Lily to a villa he had secretly purchased.
I recalled that day clearly. Stephen had proposed a high-level meeting to buy land for real estate development, and I, along with others, voted against it.
He was very upset, but I had explained my reasons clearly and even booked a restaurant to apologize over dinner.
We had agreed before marriage that work conflicts should never spill into our personal lives.
However, he texted me saying it was okay and that he understood, yet he turned to another woman for comfort.
So, it turns out he didn't just start seeing someone recently; he had already found someone before I got pregnant, back when I still believed he loved me deeply.
He played the part of the perfect lover, the perfect husband, while secretly getting involved with another woman.
If he hadn't grown completely tired of me recently, I probably would never have found out, right?
Why didn't he just keep pretending? Why?
Besides that, he and Lily were planning to oust me, take over my company, and leave me with nothing after the divorce.
What a traitor lying next to me!
I always thought I knew Stephen well, but now it seems I never really knew him at all.
He could spend three years pursuing me, risk his life to save me, yet choose to betray me over a minor disagreement.
Even after seeing everything, I was still shocked.
If this company was my only asset, I would probably be furious enough to vomit blood right now.
Recently, Stephen had coaxed me into signing many documents. Due to trust and severe pregnancy symptoms, I didn't bother to read them carefully.
Now, Stephen is the legal representative of the company, and all my shares have been transferred to him.
What's more terrifying is that he opened several shell companies in my name and incurred significant debts, with the creditors all being someone named Easton.
This person is most likely associated with Lily. Once we divorce, all the assets I receive will be used to pay off the debts.
Stephen, you are truly ruthless!
