“I’m sorry, I truly am… for these three years, I owe you an apology…”
Clifford slowly lifted his gaze, his once piercing eyes now bloodshot and weary.
The proud CEO of the Cain enterprise was utterly disheveled in this moment.
His voice trembled as he spoke, “I had no idea she was like this. If it weren’t for my mother investigating her, I would still be kept in the dark. Everything online was posted by her. From the very beginning, she never intended for Adrian and me to attend the wedding…”
“I realized too late and I’m sorry… Over the past three years, she even forged your father’s medical records and certifications. So I always thought you had married me under false pretenses, that I was just a pawn to help keep things stable at home. That’s why I didn’t confront you and was

rude in my attitude towards you. I…”
“That’s enough, you don’t need to say any
more.”
I gently interrupted his confession.
At this point, words held no value.
No wonder Mrs. Cain hadn‘ t caused me any trouble upon hearing about my divorce.
After all, being the head of the household was no easy feat.
Tere’s tricks were nothing compared to her.
In the past, when it didn’t affect the Cain Family, she had turned a blind eye.
But now that things were about to escalate, she acted quickly and decisively, zeroing in on Tere’s vulnerabilities.
Clifford was not willing to simply give up.
He insisted on explaining, “Previously, when her plumbing leaked, the ceiling was peeling and she was being harassed by

neighbors, all of that was just her self- scripted drama. I was genuinely deceived by her and so was my brother. You have to believe me; I will never look at her again. Please, let’s not get divorced, okay?”
“No way. The divorce is set in stone; there’s no room for reconciliation. Over these three years, behind your back, I’ve given this relationship countless chances, given myself countless opportunities.”
But everything vanished the moment my father passed away.
Clifford sank down helplessly, burying his head in his suit pants.
He ran his hands through his short hair in frustration, repeatedly murmuring apologies.
But I ignored him and continued speaking:
“Besides, our marriage was always just a performance. There were no feelings involved. You don‘ t need to confess to me now; our original agreement never

Clifford even took to his own social media
account to clarify that we were merely redoing our wedding, insisting there was no threat involved.
In just an hour, Tere transformed into the vilified homewrecker, attracting scorn and outrage from all corners of the internet.
I never imagined Clifford would be so
ruthless toward her.
But Tere’s retaliation showed me just how naive I really was.
On the day of the wedding, she had recorded our explosive conflict at home with hidden cameras.
Now, those videos were being released online, shattering Clifford’s carefully crafted image of a devoted husband.
In an instant, the Cain brothers went from being untouchable corporate titans to

The label of domestic abuser was firmly
affixed to them.
The Cain Family’s stock plummeted overnight.
Their company‘ s social media was
flooded with backlash.
Numerous clients demanded refunds.
That night, the public relations department of the Cain Family enterprise worked irelessly through the night.
Meanwhile, my sister and I surprisingly managed to get a good night’s sleep.
The next day, when I saw them outside the civil affairs bureau, I could barely
recognize them.
The two walked in without a word and I was still in a daze when they emerged holding their divorce certificate.

As I turned to leave with my sister, Clifford called out softly, “Wanda… take care.
I nodded without turning back.
Once I got home, I saw Clifford’s clarification video posted online at five in the morning.
But the internet saw right through it; they recognized it as an attempt to save face after his affair was exposed and no one bought his story.
In the following week, the Cain Family enterprise faced an unprecedented crisis.
Their reputation had hit rock bottom.
The Cain brothers scrambled to devise strategies in the cutthroat business landscape.
Behind the scenes, Mrs. Cain meticulously dug into every aspect of Tere’s past.
She uncovered former classmates and those whom Tere had bullied during
school.

With substantial payments, she enlisted
them to speak out online, aiming to tarnish Tere’s credibility.
While the Cain Family launched an aggressive public relations campaign, they
also kicked off a charitable initiative.
After a week, things finally began to stabilize.
Tere was thoroughly discredited, labeled a social pariah.
Meanwhile, my sister and I found our first
obs after the divorce.
On our first day, the boss summoned us into his office.
Pointing at Clifford’s face on the
computer screen, he asked, “The woman in those online rumors… it wouldn‘ t be you, would it?”
I froze for a moment, then quickly shook my head.
“It must be a case of mistaken identity.”

The boss sighed in relief and waved us off.
“Alright, you can get back to work.”
Life began to settle into a new routine.
That was until two weeks later, when Tere opened a new account and posted a pregnancy test result.
I long–pressed the post and marked it as
“not interested.”
From that moment on, it was no longer my. concern; everything was finally over.
