My Husband Lied For Love, I Made Divorce His PunishmentChapter 1
On the third day of my business trip, I opened the smart pet feeder app to check if Colbie was eating well.
As soon as the camera connected, a soft, sweet voice came through the speaker. “Oh dear, your dad is so careless. He didn’t even notice you ran out of food. Did my baby starve? Mommy’s heart aches so much.”
On the screen, a young girl was holding Colbie in her arms, rubbing her face gently against him.
The cat, usually so wary, didn’t scratch at all. Instead, his eyes narrowed in pure contentment.
A chill ran down my scalp. I quickly tapped the intercom, my voice shaking. “Who are you? Why are you in my house?”
The girl froze. Her back stiffened, panic flashed in her eyes, and then, just like that, the screen went black.
I immediately called my husband and asked what was going on.
He answered casually, as if nothing was wrong. “Oh, you mean Desiree Acosta? She’s a new intern at the company. She helped me grab an urgent file from home. Probably saw Colbie was cute and played with him a bit.”
He gave a light laugh. “She’s just a kid, at company dinners she even orders from the kids’ menu. She talks without thinking, very childish.”
I didn’t argue. Instead, I picked up my phone and called my lawyer best friend without hesitation.
“Vincent Davidson is cheating. Help me draft a divorce agreement!”
——
On the other end, Leighton Bentley almost choked.
“Just because that girl held your cat, you’re sure Vincent is cheating and wants a divorce? Girl, that’s way too rash, don’t you think?”
I took a steady breath and said, “You know Colbie’s temperament. With strangers, forget holding, it would scratch them bloody if they even tried to touch him. That girl was hugging him, kissing him, rubbing him, and Colbie was calm like a stuffed toy in her arms. There’s no way she could be that close on her first visit. Vincent is lying.”
Leighton went silent for a moment, then cursed furiously.
“That bastard Vincent! A man who married into your family dares to cheat? He must be sick of living! Jasmine, don’t worry. I’ll make sure this scumbag leaves with nothing, not even his underwear!”
After hanging up, I forced myself to calm down. From the smart feeder’s saved footage, I took a screenshot of the girl’s face.
Then I rescheduled my flight and flew back overnight.
As soon as I landed, I drove straight to the company.
