The Tenth Rejection Broke My Husband

For eight years, Rebecca Tanner has funded her husband Zachary Sanders through his PhD while raising their daughter, Penelope. When Penelope's enrollment at a prestigious elementary school is rejected for the tenth time, a registry employee reveals the truth: three children already use her property's address, and their mother is Zachary's first love, Amelia Norris.

Zachary admits he gave Amelia's children the enrollment slots tied to Rebecca's property, insisting Penelope can wait. Rebecca voids the enrollments and suspends his research funding. At home, she finds Amelia and her three sons amid Penelope's broken toys, and Zachary defends them. When he threatens divorce, Rebecca laughs.

Zachary has no idea that Rebecca's company funds both the school and his institute.
