“Marriage should be about love and equal standing. Letting her marry a random man from a random village is too irresponsible. Since Kevin knows where she is, we should go and bring her back.”
Willa gave me a cold look and said with disdain, “Do you think marriage is a game? Those villagers have their own principles. Once they’re married, it’s for life. The word divorce doesn’t even exist there. Even if you take her away, her husband’s family will find her and drag her back.”
“You’d better forget about it. Once she’s married into that mountain village, she’s never coming back.”
I said through clenched teeth, “Willa, if it were your sister, would you let her suffer like that for the rest of her life?”
She laughed. There was even a hint of satisfaction in her tone. “Too bad my sister didn’t marry there. Maybe that’s just fate. My sister deserves happiness forever.”
“Yohan, you’d better focus on preparing the dowry before her husband’s family starts complaining and mistreating your sister.”
“Oh, and don’t forget to give Kevin a small gift too. He worked really hard arranging this marriage for your sister.”
I looked straight into her eyes and said coldly, “You should ask Kevin where my sister really is and bring her back as soon as possible. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”
Willa glanced at me and replied sharply, “I won’t allow you to bring her back and don’t bother Kevin again.”
I looked at her with a frown. “Why are you doing this? Did my family ever wrong you? Why hurt others for nothing?”
She didn’t answer. Instead, she just gave a cold laugh and walked out the door.
I sat alone in the quiet house for a long time, thinking quietly. Then I sighed, went out and bought a new phone.
The first thing I did after getting it was calling my lawyer. “Help me prepare a divorce agreement.”
By the time everything was ready, it was already dark. I took the thin document and returned home.
Just as I reached the door, I heard voices inside.
It was my wife’s voice. “Did you close that deal, Kevin?”
Kevin sounded pleased and proud. “Yes. That family wanted a college graduate to improve their family line. I married off Yohan’s sister to them and they happily signed the contract.”
“Willa, I couldn’t have done it without your help. Without your support, I wouldn’t have gotten that piece of land.”
My wife laughed sweetly. “Good job. This is a big achievement. I’ll make sure you get a promotion and a raise. No one in the company will dare question it.”
I stood frozen at the door, feeling sick to my stomach.
Willa Thompson… You helped Kevin with his career by sacrificing my sister’s life? You were willing to ruin her future just for his promotion and raise?
Too bad, you didn’t know that the one you actually harmed was your own precious sister.
I pushed the door open hard and walked in.
There they were. Willa and Kevin were sitting together at the dining table, sharing a spoon as they ate cake.
The sight made me laugh coldly.
Willa never once kissed me since we got married. She always said she had a cleanliness obsession and couldn’t stand someone else’s saliva. But now, she was actually sharing a spoon with his assistant.
So, she could break her own rules, just for someone she truly loved.
When Kevin saw me, he instantly jumped up in panic.
His face turned pale as he said, “I won’t do it again, Mr. Frost. Please don’t hit me.”
