Chapter 13
I stood up and ran to the study to find that file bag.
It was a divorce agreement my parents drafted for me long ago. I didn’t know they had used what method, but Edwin’s signature was already on it, and the distribution of property was fully fair to me.
Without any hesitation, I signed my name on it.
Just then, Edwin called me. His voice sounded a bit careful as he asked, “Are you… OK?”
I asked back coldly, “Should I be not OK?”
“It’s good that you’re OK. I’m sorry for being rude to you that day. I just lost my mind when I saw Priscilla get hurt.
“I went back to find you later, but you had already gone. So, I thought you should be fine.”
He sounded like he wanted to apologize, but he was apparently not willing, which really made me want to laugh.
“Do you have anything else?”
My indifferent attitude made Edwin become impatient again, and he snapped, “I’ve already apologized to you! What else do you want? Besides, you were in the wrong in the first place. I’m calling to tell you that Priscilla has forgiven you for pushing her that day. She also invites

you to an auction. They’re going to buy you some gifts for your
“But look at you! What’s your attitude? Priscilla’s much gentler than you!” listened quietly to his complaint, saying nothing.

Noticing my silence, Edwin softened his voice a bit.
“Alright, stop making a fuss. Priscilla’s leg is injured. I’m here taking care of her. I’ll let the driver pick you up later.”
Right after Edwin hung up, I received messages from Priscilla.
Priscilla: “Bertha, you must come. I’ve prepared a big surprise for you!”
Priscilla: “The photos of you having sex with three men! They’ll be the last item to be auctioned! No mosaics!”
Then, she sent me dozens of photos.
My phone kept buzzing.
I was startled and accidentally dropped my phone. At the same time, my heart sank.
The courage I got from the divorce agreement had now disappeared.
I was still too naive. I thought by aborting the baby, I could move on from the past.
But no! The existence of Priscilla, Edwin, and Edwin’s two buddies would keep reminding me of my misery!
I trembled all over uncontrollably. I kneeled on the ground and called my parents.
When their soft and familiar voices came through, and when they asked how I had been doing with concern, I instantly broke out in tears. And I told them everything.
In the end, I plead in tears, “Dad, Mom, can I divorce him? I really don’t want to be with him anymore!”
I heard their voices trembling through the phone.

“Oh, Bertha, you’ve really been through a lot. Our driver will go pick you up and send you home tonight. We’ll take care of everything. Don’t worry. After you come back, just get a good sleep. Everything will be fine.”
Tonight, Edwin’s driver came first. I handed him a file bag and let him give it to Edwin,
Then, I got into my parents‘ car and went to my own home.
On the way, my phone kept ringing. It was Edwin calling. I directly pulled out the SIM card and threw it out of the car window.
On the other hand, the auction was about to end. When Edwin saw that I still hadn’t come, his face darkened even more. A while later, his assistant handed him a file bag.
Edwin asked coldly, “Just a file bag? No her?”
The assistant lowered his head and replied in a low voice, “Y–Yes. Mrs. Bamford said the thing inside was what she wanted. She wanted you to keep it first, and she’ll be here later.”
When Edwin heard this, a doting smilè appeared on his face. Then, he slowly opened the file bag.
But when he saw that the thing inside was actually a divorce agreement, the smile on his face instantly froze.
At the same time, the auctioneer struck the hammer twice and announced, “Here comes our last item…”
