He looked at me with disdain, as though I were the lowest, most vile, and filthy thing he could ever imagine.
In the past, I would have frantically wondered what I had done wrong, but now I couldn’t even bring myself to care.
He was so certain I would do as I always had -endlessly tolerate him, accept whatever he said without question, and keep silent, just like I had for the past decade, always taking the blame, always being the scapegoat.
But now, I wouldn’t be so foolish anymore.
He sat beside me again, looking at the camera with a face full of feigned sorrow.

“Eunie has done something terrible, and as her husband, I share the responsibility. I failed to guide her properly.”
“I will apologize on Eunie’s behalf. As a form of compensation, we’ll bring the pregnant woman to our home for recovery and provide her with the best maternity center.”
Who would have thought that the man I had loved for a decade not only wanted to destroy my life through public opinion, but also intended to openly bring his mistress into our home?
How could anyone be this shameless?
I let out a bitter laugh, deciding I had nothing left to lose.
I no longer cared about any pretense and spilled everything.

“I admit I slapped her. That woman is my student and his mistress. The child she’s carrying is his. Yesterday, she provoked me outside the obstetrics and gynecology department, asking me to be the godmother of the child she’s carrying. The nurses and patients from yesterday’s clinic can all testify to this.”

bombshell I had dropped. They exchanged a brief, wordless glance, their eyes speaking volumes. Then, a wave of disbelief spread.
The lead reporter, seeing how confident I was and that I was willing to name witnesses, seemed to believe me a little more and turned to Liam with a puzzled expression.

“Excuse me, sir, if you did such a thing, why would you report it? Are you trying to showcase the diversity of human behavior?”
I couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed the reporter wasn’t actually targeting me–he was just blunt and sharp–tongued.
Liam’s face darkened, but he tried to remain composed, defending himself in front of the
cameras.
“Please don’t make baseless accusations. Clove has a husband. Her situation is complicated; her husband is going to divorce her because she can’t have children.”
He shifted the focus back to me, his tone sharp.
“As for Mrs. Miller, as Clove’s mentor and instructor, she doesn’t even know her own

student’s family situation, yet she dares to smear Clove. She may be my wife, but in my opinion, she is not fit to be a teacher.”
He pulled out his phone and started a video call with Chloe. On the screen, she was crying, her face drenched in tears.
“Mrs. Miller, she sobbed, her voice trembling, “I saw it all in the livestream. I could tolerate your daily emotional abuse, but why are you slandering me in front of so many people?”
She held up her marriage certificate to the camera, clearly displaying her married status.

My anger had reached its peak, but now I was terrifyingly calm, searching for a flaw in her words to strike back.
“As far as I know, our university operates on a boarding system. Yesterday, your pregnancy test showed you were one month pregnant, but we haven’t had any holidays in the past month.”
“I’ve known about your situation for a while. I’m aware your parents tried to marry you off and took you home for that reason. I’ve also had a talk with your family. Right now, it’s the busy farming season, and your husband hasn’t come to Montgomery at all. So, Ms. Lopez, are you really telling me the child you’re carrying isn’t my husband Liam’s?”

“You and my husband can undergo a paternity test. If it turns out the baby isn’t his, I’ll accept whatever judgment the public gives me.”
Chloe was thrown off guard, her words stumbling as she cried uncontrollably.
