Chapter 7
Tania was beaten up by those kind–hearted neighbors.
By the time the police arrived, she was covered in bruises, with one of her front teeth knocked out.
Luckily, the police came in time. If they’d arrived any later, Tania might have ended up in the hospital again.
After investigating the cause of the fight, the police didn’tmish anyone.
There were so many people at the scene, and there were no cameras at the door
It was impossible to find out who did it.
After being questioned by the police, I walked out of the station, only to see Antonio standing at the door, his face dark and serious.
Bill
Sweat covered his forehead, and he was gasping for breath.
I noticed the bruise around his eye. No need to ask who did it.
Antonio rushed forward, grabbing my arms tightly. His voice was full of anxiety
“Where’s Tania? How is she? How did you two end up at the police. station?”
Looking at his worried face, bitterness filled my heart.
I thought to myself, “We’ve been together for more than ten years. But

now, when something bad happens, the first person he cares about is someone else.
“Even so, my friends kept persuading me, ‘You’ve been married for so many years, why not just endure it?”
“Divorcing Antonio is the right decision. Now I’m more certain of it.
“A man like him the more you tolerate, the more outrageous he gets.”
Meanwhile, Antonio thought I was ignoring him because I was still angry.
“This is my fault.” he said, “but you’re not completely innocent either, are you?
“You hid your pregnancy from me. What were you trying to do? Honestly, I even suspect you’re seeing someone else. Maybe that’s why you didn’t dare to tell me you were pregnant.”
His assistant stood quietly by his side, thinking they were here for some serious case.
He didn’t expect to witness his boss’s family drama.
I turned to look at the young man.
“You’re Antonio’s apprentice, right?”
“Yes, Mrs. Kaufman.”
“As a lawyer, do you know the legal consequences of cheating in marriage?”
He nodded confidently. “Marriage law is one of the most important subjects at school. I studied it very carefully.”

“If one party has evidence of the other’s infidelity, they can claim
compensation for emotional damage. Plus, the cheating party will be at a disadvantage when splitting property.”
I finished speaking and stared at Antonio’s gloomy face.
“Well then, Mr. Top Lawyer, instead of worrying about your mistress, better start preparing for this lawsuit,” I added.
Antonio’s chest rose and fell with anger.
“Hah! I’m one of the best lawyers in the country. What you’re saying is pure slander. I’ll sue you for defamation!
“The baby Tania is carrying… We did IVF. I never cheate

“But you… how did you get pregnant so easily? The doctor said we couldn’t have kids. Whose bastard were you carrying, huh?
“Maybe you’re the one cheating. You’re just trying to frame me.”
Antonio tried to throw all the blame onto me.
He went on, “Remember, I’m a lawyer. If you want to fight me, you’ll leave with nothing. Don’t even think about suing me for cheating. I know the law very well.”
With that, he turned and walked into the police station to find Tania.
Even as he left, he was still muttering, his voice full of resentment, “We’ve been married for more than ten years, but Tania loves me a hundred times more than you ever did. She broke off her engagement for me, but you’re divorcing me over something so trivial.”
