Chapter 12
I stood at the entrance of the kindergarten for a while before going to visit Alex.
“Ophelia, does your visit mean you still love me?”
“I am serious about you, Emily was just a game. Believe me, when I get out, let’s be together, okay? I’ll treat you well.”
Alex’s face was bruised, his eyes shining with confident hope.
I really envied his blind confidence.
“Emily was caught falsifying accounts. You two are a perfect match–both full of flaws.”
“And you still owe me money. Better talk to your parents next time.”
Alex seethed with impotent rage, while I quickly walked into the sunlight.
To my surprise, I saw Alex again. He was arguing with a woman on the street.
“I told you, that money was for our parents‘ medical treatment. Why are you being so
petty?”
“What the hell, that’s your parents, not mine. Pay me back now!”
Seeing a crowd of onlookers, Alex patiently explained, “Why should we pay back money between us, we’re husband and wife.”
“Who’s your wife? You act all proper, who knows you’ve been to jail? Bah, you’re a useless man, sitting at home living off others instead of going out to make money.”
“I just haven’t found the right job.”

“What’s wrong Alex’s hypocrisy.

Chapter 12
“You have high standards and refuse to do hard work, and won’t take any low–paying jobs. So, you’re just waiting for me to support you, right?”
“Look at yourself. You’re over thirty, still thinking you can live off your looks?”
With the woman shouting for him to pay her back, Alex couldn’t take it anymore. He raised his fist to strike, but a group of righteous onlookers quickly pinned him to the ground.
“I know this guy! He’s the one who deceived women for money and cheated to support his Mistress. Living off others, he’s even famous online!”
I couldn’t help but laugh as I watched Alex struggle on the ground like a worm.
A person who isn’t independent and only thinks of taking shortcuts won’t last long.
Life will make him pay the price.
