Chapter 3My Husband Cheated with His Secretary, So Don't Blame Me for What Comes Next

I managed to rest for a night, but woke up the next day feeling headachy and weak.

I wanted to rest a bit more, but was awakened by Jack's rough knocking on the door.

"Emily, are you up? Get up and make me something to eat, and while you're at it, make some hot soup for Sophia. I'll take it to her later."

His voice came through the door crack, carrying an unquestionable command.

I struggled to sit up, fuming, my voice hoarse from the cold: "Jack, can't you see I'm sick? Why should I cook for you and her?"

He clearly hadn't expected me to refuse. He pushed open the door and stood in front of me with a displeased look: "What's wrong with you today? Can't you even do this small thing? Don't forget, today is our wedding anniversary!"

I laughed coldly. This so-called "anniversary" was probably just another excuse for him to show off his harmonious family life.

"Anniversary? You must have gotten the date wrong, or maybe you just don't care about this day at all. And you want me to serve you and your mistress? Jack, you've gone too far!"

His face darkened as he angrily walked over: "What nonsense are you talking about? Sophia is just a colleague. She worked late today, so I'm just giving her a ride home. Don't make a fuss!"

"Making a fuss?" I pointed at myself, feeling a wave of sadness, "I'm making a fuss? Look at the 'surprise' you gave me!"

Saying this, I grabbed the small box he had thrown on the bedside table and smashed it in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment, then bent down to pick up the box. When he opened it, his expression became complex.

Inside the box lay the pendant I had once loved dearly.

"This is... the pendant you've always wanted. I bought it especially for you," he tried to explain, but his voice lacked conviction.

"Yes, I've always wanted it, but what you bought is the cheap imitation that Sophia wears!" I pointed at the identical pendant around Sophia's neck in the social media photos.

"You think I don't know? You gave her the real one and gave me a fake! Jack, you're so calculating!"

His face turned ashen as he tried to defend himself.

"Enough, Jack," I cut off his words before he could speak. "You've lied to me many times."

I looked straight at him.

He was stunned.
