Heidi bent down slightly, giving me a gentle, pitiful look.
“I’m sorry about your father, but even if time went backward, I still wouldn’t agree to his demand for five million.”
Caleb followed her words smoothly, playing the righteous man.
“I’m your husband, but I stand for justice. I cannot allow wickedness to spread.”
The crowd was completely ignited.
“What a good man! Why do good people always end up with this kind of wife!”
“A woman like her would drive anyone to divorce!”
Watching Caleb’s performance made my stomach churn.
My legs suddenly buckled, and I stumbled forward.
Caleb shoved Heidi aside and kicked me hard in the chest.
“You’re trying to fake an injury at the courthouse too? How was I ever blind enough to fall for someone so disgusting!”
Pain exploded in my chest, knocking the breath out of me.
But deeper inside, in that place he once held, it hurt even more.
Three years ago, when his enemies tried to kill him, I had thrown myself in front of the blade to save him.
And now, the only thing he remembered was how to crush me.
Heidi tugged on his sleeve, her soft voice instantly hooking his attention.
“Caleb, my stomach hurts again. Can you make me some porridge? You cook well.”
