Chapter 12

“If you had any shame, you wouldn’t have caused my right ear to suffer lifelong hearing loss.

If you had any shame, you wouldn’t have nearly caused my daughter to die before she was

born!”

“Two years ago, I never truly settled things with you. Heaven must have pity, giving me

another chance to deal with you!”

Heidi covered her face in shame, tears filling her eyes, not daring to speak.

Ezra’s brows tightened as he grabbed my wrist hard, his tone unhappy.

“That’s enough, Evie! In these two years, she has already suffered enough. You don’t need to

keep pushing!”

“If it weren’t for you refusing to let it go when you had the upper hand back then, Heidi

wouldn’t have been kicked out of the orchestra and ended up as a street vendor!”

“What happened back then has long been settled.”

Pressing and refusing to let go, those few words gave me a firm belief.

But back then, the one at fault had clearly been Heidi!

Two years ago, when I found out Ezra was cheating, I had returned early from an overseas

So, Mang through the evde his tarhday with him, you

sew kam and Head Kissing at Harmon H

At that mom, without thinking, I struck them, even sending Hadi to the hospital, making

I thought divorcing would make him turn back, but indeed, he sank deseger, even giving me

seventy percent of his shares just to remain with Heid

That evering, heavy rain poured in Kansas, and he stayed on his knees at the doonway, crying

and begging me.

“Evie, I accept divorce, I give half of everything to you, I only ask you not to make trouble for

“Her life is very hard, but she and I truly love each other. These years, the care and time I gave

you were already enough”

But he forgot, during those years I stayed by his side to build his base, my life was also very hard, for him, I turned against my family and gave up everything

Before the divorce papers were fully signed, both Heidi and I got into a kidnapping danger

Ezra had many enemies in his past, even kidnapping, which needed another party to act, truly

sad

When she and I were forced to choose between life and death during a live broadcast seen across Kansas, everyone assumed he would choose me.

But he did the opposite, pointing at Heidi and saying firmly, “Save her, any amount of money

is finet

I stared at han in shock and pain, breaking down as I cried, “Ezra, save me…”

My Mears and despair could not make him change his mind.

He took Hedi and left without a glance back, as if I did not exist

it was almost half a month before I was finally rescued.

In those dark days, the kidnappers beat me, burned my arm with cigarette ends, and my

pivals photos were spread all over the internet.

He did not come to rescue me, even the kidnappers laughed and mocked me.

“Miss Russo chose the wrong man, ah, while you are being tortured, he is still traveling and

relaxing with his mindre

When I was saved, if not for the hospital’s urgent call, Ezra would still be in Switzerland with

her, speaking of love.

We had a child, and even after everything, she was still fortunate and strong enough to live

For the sake of this child, he finally chose to end things with Heidi and return to my side

Because of that Kidnapping incident, everyone in Kansas learned that she was a mistress After being removed from the orchestra, she vanished

During these two years, I thought he no longer loved her, but when they met again after so

long, he still lost control over himself for her.

I quietly looked at his cold face and softly spoke.

“Ezra, let’s get a divorce. I will let you two lovers be together.”

Hearing this, surprise and fear flashed through his eyes.

But soon, he scoffed. “Evie, all these years you keep using divorce to pressure me, but you

never divorce.”

“We have a child, you and your father already broke ties long ago; besides me, you have no

one to depend on.”

His words sounded very ridiculous; everyone in Kansas knew I loved him, knew my father did

not agree for me to marry an illegitimate son, knew that to marry him, I endured ninety-nine family punishments and even cut ties with the Russo family.

But no one knew there was a deal between my father and me.

“Ten years, as long as he still loves you like before, I will give half of the family property to

him.”

“If he betrays you, I want you to come back home and personally take back all his assets.”

Ezra, you were wrong. You really were about to lose me.

I wanted to keep arguing with him, but my daughter’s weak crying stopped me.

I calmly looked at them, got into the car, and drove away.

After going back home, I quickly booked a ticket for seven days later to fly to England.

Right after that, I directly called the lawyer.

“Attorney Harper, I want a divorce from him, Make him leave this marriage with nothing, the

sooner the better.”

The person on the other side answered with full confidence.

“Miss Russo, do not worry when I take care of things. In seven days, you can get the divorce

papers. I promise to make that trash lose everything, not even a single coin left.”

I ended the call, picked up a can of gasoline, and walked straight to the backyard, without any

pause, as I lit the lighter and threw it into the field of flowers.

The fire covered my eyes.

The rose garden in the backyard had been brought from overseas at high cost when we

married. Over the years, I carefully cared for them, like protecting the once-strong love

between us.

But now, I no longer wanted anything connected to him!
