When Jace heard it, he got angry and threatened to beat Mia. "You naughty girl, shut your mouth!"

I stopped Jace and said, "Mia was not talking about you. Why are you getting so worked up?"

Jace smiled awkwardly.

I encouraged Mia to continue.

"Not only did his dad abandon them, but he also took away all the money from their home."

"The other classmates in my class all say that his dad is a scumbag and curse that the child he has with his mistress is a retard!"

Naomi couldn't sit still and yelled at my daughter, "You're a retard!"

After saying that, Naomi still didn't let go of her anger and raised her hand to hit my daughter.

I gave Naomi a slap, which stunned her.

"What's wrong with you? Mia wasn't talking about you. Why are you getting so worked up?"

"Or are you the other woman she mentioned?"

Naomi covered her face with her hands, her eyes filled with shock.

As soon as she reacted, she immediately turned to Jace for help. "Claire hit me. Ho-"

Before the word "honey" could slip out of her mouth, Jace slapped her.

Naomi trembled as she looked at Jace, about to say something, but Jace suddenly shouted loudly, "Don't meddle in our family affairs!"

Naomi ran out of my house crying, and I felt so happy seeing her look like a punching bag.

Seemingly afraid that I would misunderstand, Jace started venting about Naomi behind her back.

"See what your best friend did. Naomi is not a good person. I disagreed with the idea when you let her stay at our house back then."

"Look at her now. Who does she think she is? She was just asking for trouble."

Jace didn't mean what he said, and I felt disgusted.

I said to him, "I'll talk to Mia. You go about your business."

I paid the rent for the house Naomi was currently living in and also had a key.

I came to her doorstep and found that she hadn't come home. I sneaked in and installed a camera in her bedroom.

Not long after I left, Naomi and Jace entered the bedroom one after another.

Naomi turned around and slapped Jace.

"You've really gone too far. How dare you hit me?"

Jace immediately knelt down, looking even more pathetic than a stray dog.

"Darling, you almost gave yourself away just now. I had no choice but to do that."

"Our main goal is to get Claire to divorce me. Then the 3,300,000 dollars my company raised will all be ours."

"Once our plan leaves us exposed and she finds out this money, she won't agree to divorce me and I'll have to give her half of my assets."

Hearing about the money, Naomi immediately smiled.

"If it weren't for 3,300,000 dollars, I wouldn't spare you today."

In my previous life, Jace tricked me into getting a divorce for the prize money. I wondered why he still wanted to trick me into getting a divorce in this life since he didn't know about me winning the lottery. It turned out it was still for money.

Jace persuaded Naomi. "So let's play along with her. As long as she agrees to divorce me, just let her be the boss for now."

"After the divorce, we will have plenty of money. The cost of raising children is very high now. Claire will run out of money in a few years."

As they were talking, they got closer and had sex.

This scene reminded me of what Jace had said to me.

"In this life, I only love you, Claire! No one can compete with you."

Huh, this is men.

That night, Jace and Naomi came to my house one after another.

Naomi apologized to me, saying that she shouldn't have interfered in my family affairs. She came mainly to apologize to me this time.

I ignored her and said directly to Jace, "I've made up my mind. We can get a divorce, but there's a condition."

...

When Jace heard that I agreed to get a divorce, his eyes lit up.

He asked me what the condition was.

I said, "The cost of raising a child is too high. To ensure that Mia and I live a good life, I'll keep the house, the car, and all the savings at home after the divorce."

Before Jace could speak, Naomi became impatient.

"You're going too far. Jace worked hard and bought all the things at home. Why should they all be left to you?"
