"Everyone, come and see. This is the cheater!"
She even thought there weren't enough people around, and she actually pulled out her phone and started a live stream. The camera was focused on us, and my mother-in-law was behind her phone, spitting and screaming nonsense.
"Look, everyone! This is my daughter-in-law and her cheater. My son's been married to her for ten years, and this is how she treats him. She's spent all his money on other men. What a filthy relationship!" My mother-in-law kept looking around the company.
Seeing her boss standing in the crowd, she even yelled, "How can you still keep someone like that in your company? They should be fired! And that intern. He's no good either."
As the crowd gathered, my mother-in-law kept spouting nonsense, causing Julio, who was speaking up for me, to be caught in the crossfire. I was completely furious.
Julio was a good boy, and he was about to marry his fiancée. They'd been dating for ten years. How could he be smeared and his happiness ruined just because of me?
"Enough! What's wrong with you? When did I ever do such a thing?"
I rushed over to grab her phone, but she collapsed to the ground, crying and shouting, "Come and see. Someone's bullying the elderly!"
My mother-in-law became increasingly outrageous, her livestream boasts of extravagant things.
Soon, passersby who had seen the livestream rushed over to watch the fun. Someone even started their own livestreams, making up stories about me and my intern, Julio.
The onlookers were discussing:
"This woman's husband is so pitiful! He has to support his wife and still be cuckolded."
"He married a wife like this and he can't even support his own mother!"
I stood helplessly in the crowd, and suddenly spotted a familiar figure. Jackie was hiding behind the crowd, allowing his mother to slander me like this. I was so angry I almost suffocated. Seeing this, my mother-in-law smugly spat at me and continued her exaggerated rants.
I suppressed my anger, stared at my mother-in-law, and said coldly, "Okay, you said I spent all your son's money. Today we'll settle the accounts and find out who did it!"
I looked up at the AA system. The divorce keyword had indeed activated it again.
[Intention detected. Confirm divorce? System bill settlement is being prepared—]
In the crowd, Jackie's calm expression suddenly vanished upon hearing this, replaced by fear and panic.
"No, Lilian! If you open it today, our marriage will be over!" He was furious and even threatened me.
Looking at his expression, I sneered at the system, "Confirm the divorce. How much does it cost for expedited settlement?"
[VIP membership is only 50 dollars. Results will be available in one minute.]
As soon as I finished speaking, all the cameras in the room were focused on me. Those watching the show also stared at me, mocking me.
"How can such a wasteful woman, who cheated on her husband, spend less than her husband? I'd never believe it!"
I nodded without hesitation. "Okay, open the VIP account if you have one. Open the public screen and share it with everyone here. Today, I'm inviting everyone to see a detailed breakdown of our expenses over the past ten years of marriage. Let everyone see who spent what and how much."
