I stood up nonchalantly.
I left the two of them behind. After walking a few steps, I still heard Jasmine's hoarse shouts at Gregory.
"Mr. Stark, I've apologized!"
"I've apologized to your wife, but what now?"
"She doesn't care about you anymore! She doesn't want you! What's it to you if you kill me?!" Gregory couldn't take the abuse. He raised his hand and slapped her hard. As Jasmine spit out blood, she also lost two teeth. She stared at Gregory in disbelief for a moment. Then, grabbing a knife from the table, she stabbed at Gregory's lower body with fury.
"You can't control this thing, why blame me!"
"Go to hell! Go to hell!"
"I must have been blind to fall for you!"
They tore into each other, neither willing to take responsibility for the outcome.
In the end, Gregory was sent to the hospital, and Jasmine was sentenced to three years for intentional harm. Gregory was seriously injured and needed someone to care for him.
When Gregory's mother found out, she reluctantly called me.
"Kasey, that's enough, come back."
"My grandson cannot be without grandparents."
"If you bring him back now and let him recognize his ancestors, I won't mind you causing trouble and hurting Gregory." Gregory's mother thought that I had kept the child.
She thinks I secretly hid the person.
She truly believed that everything I did in the last two years was to get Gregory's attention back. I had no words for her.
But when she called, I was in the middle of a media interview.
They required me to pick up the first call within the designated time, so Gregorycretia's mother's voice was broadcasted live.
---
The interview wasn't even over yet.
Gossipy netizens had already compiled Gregorycretia and my story into a PPT. Gregory's mother, undoubtedly the villainous mother-in-law, became the target of online ridicule. The social media account of Stark family had to disable comments.
Gregory's company's stock prices were affected, causing a significant dip.
#Gregory Cheats" and "#Gregory Mama'sBoy" have been all over the trending list for days.
Clarissa loved watching the drama and occasionally sent me updates from the front lines.
"Kasey, these netizens are sharp-tongued."
"They want Gregory's mom to push him in a stroller to the civil affairs office for the divorce. Hahaha!"
I couldn't help but smile at her joy and sent her a few laughing emojis.
Soon, I joined another film production.
The crew had tight security, but Gregory appeared multiple times, trying to speak with me. He didn't even catch a glimpse of my nails. Disheartened, Gregory finally signed the divorce agreement.
We agreed to go to the civil affairs office on the day of the divorce, and he wore the same black suit from our wedding ceremony.
"Darling, this is the last time I call you that."
"I'm sorry, truly."
I simply replied with a neutral "Mm" and quickly signed my name, taking the divorce certificate that was rightfully mine.
