Chapter 93

I tried to hold him back. “Don’t go, Dad You know I’ve had enough. I’ve decided to leave. A straight divorce is better for everyone. If things escalate, it won’t do our family any good, it’s not worth paying a heavy price for it”

I kept my cool, as I’ve been through this before

After my repeated persuasion, my dad chose to respect my decision. I breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, making the right request at the right time would get the desired result

If I had proposed a divorce before Neil and Bonnie’s affair was discovered, both sets of parents would definitely have persuaded me to think twice.

Fortunately, this happened when only a few people knew about my divorce lawsuit.

After ending the call, I hesitated for a moment and chose to call Russel back.

“Where are you? Russel’s tone sounded a bit worried, “Did you know that your mother–in–law talked to Bonnie?”

“I found out Neil called me and said if Bonnie gets into any trouble, I won’t have it easy either” I calmly replied while eating the food on my plate, “Do you also think I told his mom?”

Russel is Neils good friend. Naturally, he would side with Neil

In their eyes, I’ve always been someone who would do anything to get Neil.

Russel responded quickly, “No, I know it wasn’t you”

I was surprised and asked, “You believe me?”

a lot, so I considered him a good friend. Perhaps I didn’t pay enough attention to boundaries and caused misunderstandings. I’ve thought a lot in the past two days and reflected on myself I dare not meet anyone, and my parents probably don’t know about this. If they knew, they would definitely be devastated, so I chose to disappear so as not to cause any more trouble for you. I hope you wont
