“Even if she does, I’ll still speak the truth. My teacher said justice must always defeat evil.” Lily said firmly.
My heart shattered as I looked at her.
“Lily, between Aunt Sarah and Aunt Sophie, you’d choose them over me, your mother, wouldn’t you?”
Lily said, “Of course. You treat me so badly, forcing me to jump out the window, forcing me to eat broccoli. Aunt Sophie and Aunt Sarah were so kind, always giving me burgers. Who do you think I’d choose?”
I looked at Lily in disappointment.
“Remember what you said today, Lily.”
“What, even your own daughter has to bully and threaten you now?” Ethan shouted angrily.
“I’ll deal with you later. If you don’t apologize, don’t expect me to pay your medical bills.”
He picked Sophie up and was about to leave. I stopped him.
“So if I don’t apologize, you won’t pay my medical bills, right?”
“That’s right!”
“Fine. Then let’s divorce. Sign the papers. I’ve already signed.”
I handed Ethan the divorce agreement.
Sophie sneered, “Maybe she just wants half the property. My sister swore she saw Emily with another man.”
“That’s impossible!” Ethan snapped. “Half the assets? Dream on.”
I gave a cold laugh. “Do you think I care? Look at the terms.”
