My Husband Put His Mistress on the Deed,So I Destroyed HimChapter 1

After Morton Finley married into my family, I took him house shopping. We were about to sign the contract when he suddenly stopped me.

"Babe, don't you think Sapphire is pitiful?"

Sapphire Parsons was a new hire he'd brought on after taking over the company.

I nodded without thinking and looked at him. "Sure. Pitiful. And?"

"Let's give her a surprise! We can add her name to the property deed. What do you say?"

I raised an eyebrow. "That's not entirely out of the question. How about we add your name to a divorce certificate while we're at it?"

——

Silence.

"I was just joking. Do you have to blow everything out of proportion?"

"Sapphire comes from nothing. She's a girl out here on her own, trying to make it. You're not exactly strapped for cash. Would it kill you to show a little compassion?"

I watched Morton rush to Sapphire's defense, and something cold settled in my chest.

His favoritism toward Sapphire went far beyond this.

When her family fell into debt, he hadn't hesitated to embezzle company funds to bail them out, never mind that the books were already stretched thin. Afterward, he blamed me for being heartless.
