I could barely control how hard my nails ding into my palms as I wared at him
You’re saying I came out ahead?
He scoffed: “Are you really preneurfing to be some innocent, high das lady? You’re my wife. What’s wrong with asking you for a little help?”
That’s when Raven spoke up, her voice sickeningly swest, her winle demeanor dripping with fake innocence
“Sister, I just wanted to make some money at the casino. cauft you miersand? Rex and I are fire siblings. If he’s willing to help me, you wouldn’t really want to see me die would yone
As she finished speaking her eyes immediately welled up with tears looking like the was about to frow herself at me for a hug and a sch fest
I held back as long as I could, but her disgusting act finally made me laugh binerty.
I looked at her and sness
“Siblings, my as
My voice wasn’t loud, but each word was crystal daa.
Then what were you two doing screwing in the stairwell last night??”
As soon as the words left my mouth, people in the hallway stopped in their tracks.
Guests staying on the same floor were just heading out when they heard the commotion. They all paused to watch, pulling out their phones to record.
Holy shit, for real?
“Are you serious? Like siblings but they re sleeping together?
Isn’t that… Professor Chandler? I’ve watched his lectures online!”
Rex finally panicked.
“Stop recording! Put your phones away! This is invasion of privacy! I’m calling security!*
A few people at the front shamefacedly lowered their phones, but several young college students on the outer edges still quietly filmed everything
His voice carried a desperate urgency as he lunged at the crowd trying to stop them, but more people gathered,

recording even more as he protested.
I stood in the doorway, watching motionlessly as his facade crumbled, coldly smiling as I pulled my phone from my pocket and opened a video.
“Didn’t you say you had a sibling relationship?”
I turned the volume all the way up and played last night’s hotel corridor security footage!
Rex and Raven passionately entangled in the stairwell, clothes disheveled, moaning shamelessly, calling each
other’s names over and over.
When the video played, the crowd erupted.
‘Holy fuck… that’s intense.”
‘Professor Chandler? Giving a hands–on sex demonstration?”
SLAP!!
I didn’t give me to react before slapping him hard across the face.
you’re nothing but a piece of shit!”
ood trembling beside him, her face deathly pale.
Juniper! Why are you doing this? Are you trying to destroy us?”
I looked at her coldly and slapped her too.
“Shut your fucking mouth!”
Raven’s cheek swelled immediately where I’d hit her. She stared at me in disbelief.
Rex’s eyes blazed with fury as he pulled Raven protectively into his arms, screaming hysterically at me.
“Juniper Hayes! How dare you hit Raven! I want a divorce!”
The crowd’s murmurs blended together like some chaotic, humiliating farce.
I couldn’t stand looking at their faces anymore.
I threw the divorce papers I’d prepared, giving them a cold laugh.
“Divorce? Perfect! Sign these papers and walk away with nothing.”
Rex glanced at them and, surprisingly, signed without hesitation, as if he’d been ready for this.

I frowned. This wasn’t like Rex’s usual style–typically he’d review any document at least ten times before signing
He scoffed and tossed the signed papers back to me.
“You still think I have money and assets in my name? You think I’m walking away with nothing? Dream on!”
My blood ran cold.
Raven immediately twisted the knife: “My Rexy will live comfortably with me from now on. Who needs a heartless scientist like you anyway?”
She hummed smugly.
“He doesn’t have more than two hundred dollars to his name right now. I’m the one supporting him.”
In that moment, I finally understood.
Over the past year, Rex had been gradually selling our marital assets, secretly transferring ownership and laundering everything, all to fund Raven’s gambling habit.
Me, the “lawful wife“? I was just a skin stretched over his ATM machine, to be discarded once emptied.
I clutched the papers, my knuckles white.
Next second, I went back into the room, picked up my phone, and called Nash.
