I bit my lower lip tightly and walked into Elena's study quietly.
In her previous life, she was able to bring down my parents’ company in a short period of time because of a top-secret document.
It contains important business information from us at Johnson Enterprises.
This time, I will take the information away in advance to prepare for a rainy day.
When I sat down at the desk, I realized that the wedding photo of Elena and I had been replaced with a photo of Ryan.
The boy's smile was innocent, but it reminded me that my marriage with Elena was over.
I suppressed the bitterness in my heart and quickly found the file.
I actually set a password!
In a panic, I tried all the possible passwords for Elena, but none of them worked.
Finally, I pressed a string of numbers for some unknown reason.
Looking at the prompt that the password was correct, my head started buzzing again.
The day Elena and Ryan first met.
"It's late, aren't you asleep yet, Darling?"
I don't know when Elena leaned against the door and looked at me with a playful look on her face.
"Is Darling jealous?"
I took a deep breath and looked at her sarcastically.
"Isn't it just an insignificant assistant?"
Elena shrugged helplessly.
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel inexplicably happy when I see him. I want to be with him all the time. Darling, this is the first time I feel this way. Do you think I'm poisoned..."
"But don't worry, in my heart, no one can replace Darling..."
"Darling, we haven't had sex in a while...do you want to?"
As she said this she rubbed against me, the desire from just now had not yet completely subsided, and now it was showing signs of resurfacing again.
I quickly stepped back, a hint of disgust flashing in my eyes.
I took out the documents I had prepared in advance and handed them to her.
She raised her eyebrows, "What do you like now? Okay, okay, I'll buy you whatever you like!"
After saying that, she didn't even look at it and wrote her name with a stroke of the pen.
My goal was achieved, so I bent down and slipped out from under her, pretending to be tired.
"I'm tired. Maybe next time."
Other men started the fire, but they want to use me to put it out.
Don’t even think about it!
I clenched the divorce agreement in my hand, feeling extremely happy.
Soon, I was free again.
The following week, Elena went overseas to attend a business reception, and Ryan had no time to apply for a passport so he had to stay at home.
There was no sign of restraint on his part. He ordered every servant in the house around with confidence and intervened in every aspect of the family.
There was a lot of complaints at home.
Mrs. Anderson came running to me in a hurry, "Sir, please go and have a look. Mr. Miller said that the crabapple tree in the yard is an eyesore and wants to move it. We tried to persuade him not to do so, but he found a ladder and climbed up the tree, saying that he wanted to trim the branches bit by bit!"
That crabapple tree was planted for me by my parents the year Elena and I got married, saying it would protect me and bring me happiness and peace for the rest of my life.
Ryan insisted on trimming it, which was clearly a way of intimidating me.
I quickly walked to the ladder and let her down.
He glanced at me defiantly, and when he saw a red figure in the distance, he slipped and fell backwards, screaming.
"ah!"
I stared with wide eyes as he fell off the ladder and landed steadily in Elena's arms.
But the ladder shook and fell heavily on me, crushing my legs.
I gasped in pain, and Elena's furious voice rang out.
"Ethan Johnson! You just have to pick on him!"
"Do you know that falling from such a high place can be fatal?"
