I took a deep breath and said slowly, each word clear and firm, “This marriage is over.”
Caleb’s face twisted in rage. He grabbed the divorce papers, tore them to shreds, and flung the pieces into the air.
Aria's POV
“So, you really want to divorce me, huh?” Caleb snapped. “Fine! I’ll give you what you want. But let me make this clear. If we divorce, I will write the agreement. I’ll make sure you lose everything and walk out of this marriage with nothing but shame. I’ll also make sure my mother sees what kind of daughter-in-law she adored, a vile woman who used her own mother’s death to scam money and file false lawsuits!”
Through the flurry of shredded papers still floating in the air, I caught his cold, vengeful eyes, and a small, satisfied smirk curling on Brielle’s lips.
Still, I didn’t say a word. I simply turned and walked out of the law firm.
Back home, I quietly started packing my things.
By the time I wheeled my suitcase downstairs, a large group of people suddenly rushed toward me.
They surrounded me, holding up cameras and phones, shouting as they recorded.
“Look, it’s her, the woman who told her elderly mother to fake an accident!”
“After her mom got hit and killed, she used her death to blackmail people for money. When that didn’t work, she went to court just to keep squeezing more cash!”
“She even forced that poor college girl into depression. She tried to take her life several times!”
“Good thing her husband’s a righteous lawyer who stood by justice instead of siding with his greedy wife! Otherwise, who knows what that poor girl would’ve gone through!”
“And now, because he wouldn’t help her scam people, she’s threatening him with divorce. Look, her bags are packed already!”
Their accusations pierced through the air like knives.
Through the crowd, I saw Brielle and Caleb standing at the back, both watching me with smug satisfaction.
So, this was his plan, using a livestream to destroy me.
And it worked. The reaction was instant.
The live streamers were relentless, spitting venom with every word, and soon my name was plastered all over the internet.
[What kind of monster uses her own mother’s death for money?]
[No wonder her mom died early; karma got her first!]
[Like mother, like daughter! They both got what they deserved!]
[Serves her right. The car hit the right one!]
