Vincent shook off Lyla and pulled me outside.

"Let's talk outside. Lyla is in late pregnancy, don't scare her."

Lyla slipped on a piece of broken porcelain, fell to the ground unsteadily, pulling Vincent's pant leg.

"Hubby, my belly."

Vincent turned pale with shock, picking her up in panic.

"Lyla don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital."

I was hit hard by his elbow, severe pain coming from my lower back.

"Ah!"

Vincent looked back subconsciously, "Cynthia..."

Lyla moaned, interrupting him.

He looked at the painful expression of the person in his arms, speeding up with heartache.

I walked out the door, Grace ran to support me.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Grace held up her phone chat interface.

"I suspect he's secretly transferring assets. Asked my brother to check."

Grace's brother is a lawyer.

I nodded thanks, sending the video I just recorded.

"That woman is Lyla, Luna's former art teacher. Ask your brother to draft a divorce agreement too."

"Okay, I'll drive you back."

Grace said my state wasn't suitable for driving, insisted on sending me home, and picked up Luna to stay at her place for two days.

Grace's brother was fast. Just got home, he sent the found information.

The house and car under Lyla's name were bought by Vincent. Plus transfers, about 70 million ($10 million USD).

A year ago, Vincent told me the branch company had issues, needing him to go there often.

Turns out it was a love nest. Every time he lied about business trips, he was here with Lyla.

I immediately called the company CFO.

"Director Wang, send me the accounts of the company and branches for recent years."

"Madam, company secrets, you have no right to view."

"I am a shareholder!"

Pause on the other end for two seconds.

"I will apply to President Vincent. I'll send it to you after he signs and agrees."

Good, very good.

Since pregnancy, I never asked about company affairs, shopping and doing SPA daily, taking care of the child.

Everyone thought I married well. Probably even Vincent forgot, I am the largest shareholder of the company, qualified to remove him anytime.

I started clearing the trash at home.

Opened the closet, threw Vincent's clothes on the floor one by one, tearing and stomping, venting my dissatisfaction like a madwoman.

Throwing to the end, a storage box appeared in the corner of the closet.

Inside were all the things Vincent gave me during four years of college.

Tulip LED night light, hand-sewn backpack, personally designed hairpin, star bottle with sweet moments written, etc.

His family was poor, no money for expensive gifts. Most gifts were handmade by him.

I hugged them and cried loudly until dawn.

The next day, mother-in-law and sister-in-law entered early, cursing loudly seeing the messy room.

"Cynthia, are you crazy? You smashed such expensive things? Is it easy for my son to make money! How did he marry such a wasteful wife like you? Can't give birth to a son, and can't even manage a household."

Seeing me, a slap came straight.

"Bitch, almost harmed my grandson."

"Daring to show off in front of Lyla after giving birth to a girl. Be sensible, divorce my son quickly, get out of our Wan family."

Sister-in-law packed all the bird's nest, sea cucumber, aged ginseng and other supplements in the kitchen into bags.

"Wasting good stuff on her. Mom, let's take them all to give little sister-in-law for her body."

Mother-in-law rushed to the kitchen hearing this, packing with hands and feet.

"Right, Lyla is our family's great hero, must nourish well."

The day I gave birth to Luna, she looked once, saw a girl, and never appeared again.

I didn't care about her attitude, but that Lyla actually gave birth?

"Where is Vincent?"

Mother-in-law spat.

"Of course accompanying my grandson. I warn you, if anything happens to him, I'm not done with you!"
