Chapter 580

Werner had never seen Cathy like that before . Usually , when she made a fuss about something , he would just buy her a little something to appease her , and things would go back to normal . But that time , she was beyond appeasing .
Realizing that Cathy was truly set on divorcing him this time , Werner suddenly cried in desperation . Cathy just stared at him , not wanting to give him the time of day
Werner pleaded with Cathy , his voice trembling , “ Cathy , I swear , this is my first and only mistake . I really don’t want to lose everything . Please , just forgive me this once , since it’s my first offense . I’ll never go to those kinds of places again ”
He was really done dirty by Liam . Liam even had someone get him wasted . None of this was his fault ; it was
all on them .
“ Enough ! ” Cathy snapped , her voice trembling with rage . “ This is exactly what I hate most about you . Why do you always shift the blame whenever something goes wrong ? Have you no shame as a man ? ”
Werner’s gaze stiffened for a moment . Then he desperately vowed to Cathy again , “ I swear , this is the only mistake I’ve ever made in my life . I promise , I’ve never done anything else to betray you . ”
Cathy just couldn’t believe it . She refused to accept that this was the only time Werner had betrayed her . For the first time , she began to question their decades – long marriage .
Even with all his vows and promises that this was his only transgression , Cathy refused to believe a single word .
“ I’m done with you . Why don’t you just go live with Liam ? I’ll call Cheryl back and make sure she knows everything . So , from now on , you’ll never be able to show your face to our children again .”
Werner pleaded , “ Why do you have to drag us both through the mud ? If you go telling all our friends and relatives what I did , it won’t just be me who’s humiliated , and you’ll be embarrassed too . How will you ever show your face again ? ”
Cathy snapped at Werner , “ You’re the one who should be ashamed . If you didn’t want to be laughed at , you should’ve kept your pants on . How dare you talk to me about saving face now ? ”
Werner pleaded , “ I was completely wasted that night . I haven’t been that drunk in ages . ”
“ So , why’d you drink so much , then ? ” Cathy sneered , her voice dripping with sarcasm . “ Is there anything going on that I don’t already know about ? ”
Werner’s words died in his throat . That other matter was far more serious than this . It’s a secret he would have to take to his grave .
Werner pleaded , “ Liam forced this on me . He kept insisting on getting me two women . I told him no . But I was so drunk , I honestly don’t even remember what happened after that .
“ And when I went to Shaville , it was to confront him about this exact thing . I was actually trying to warn him to stay away from those kinds of places ,
too . ”
Cathy sneered , utterly disappointed in Werner . “ Still trying to weasel out of it , even now ? Did Liam fake that medical report for you ? ”
Werner choked on his words . Cathy’s heart sank to the pit of her stomach as she saw his expression . “ Get out of here right now , ” she snapped . “ I never want to see your ugly , disgusting face again .”
Werner remained crying , pleading desperately , “ I swear I haven’t done anything else wrong all these years . Please , just forgive me this once , for the sake of our children . Think how bad a divorce would be . ”
Cathy gritted her teeth and snapped at Werner , “ So you’re not leaving ? Just keep crying here and see if you can move yourself with your own pathetic
act . I’m out of here . ”
Cathy threw some clothes into a suitcase and was about to storm out when Werner scrambled to his feet from the floor , demanding, “ Where are you going ? ”

“ Get out of my way ! ” Cathy snapped , shoving Werner aside . “ Don’t you
