A few days later, John took me to attend a baby's Red Egg and Ginger Party.

Although I didn't want to go, I had no choice but to accompany him.

When we were about to leave, my mother-in-law shouted at my back in the courtyard, "Don't you have shame? Some ladies at my age have two grandsons already..."

John also heard it, but just twitched his mouth, looking indifferent.

At the banquet, the nanny held the baby in front of the table to greet everyone.

The child babbled and accidentally knocked over the wine glass in front of me.

My clothes got wet, and the servant took me to clean up.

When I came back, John had already gone upstairs to have tea with a group of friends.

I had just stepped onto the stairs to the second floor when I heard voices from inside.

"Mr. Shaw, you are very loyal to your wife. When will you invite us to the Red Egg and Ginger Party of your baby?"

John's voice was mocking, "Loyal? She cries and throws a tantrum, not allowing me to take concubines! the Shaw family is a big family with a big business. I'm still waiting for someone to give birth to a child to inherit the family business!"

He continued, "She begs me every day not to divorce her. Can you believe how shameless she is?"

There was a meaningful laughter from inside.

In John's eyes, I was not his wife.

He did not give me the respect I deserved.

As his wife, I was not even as good as a servant in the Shaw family.

At this moment, I couldn't go in. Perhaps because my mind was occupied with thoughts, I didn't pay attention when I stepped back, so I missed a step.

When I lost my balance and thought I was going to fall, my waist was instantly held.

I turned around and saw a well-built man with a handsome face.

I fell right into his arms.

The strong arm around my waist, and the firm chest instantly made my face flush.

This was what a real man looked like, unlike John, who was always weak and limp!

"Thank you... Thank you very much," I quickly stepped out of his embrace.

He retracted his arm, stepped up one step, and instantly became a head taller than me.

He said softly, "Mrs. Shaw, you have a good temper."

Being hinted at by him, I knew that he had also heard the conversation inside.

In the eyes of John, I was worthless.

I lowered my head and said, "You must be kidding."

Then, I passed him and stepped into the door.

"John, since that's the case, I don't want to be humiliated anymore.

Let's break up."

I publicly humiliated John.

After pulling me back, he scolded me for a while, "Zoey, are you tired of living? You've made me lose face!"

'What? Break up?' My mother-in-law heard John's voice outside and kicked the door open.

She grabbed a cup on the table and splashed it on my face, "You heartless bitch, how dare you bring up breaking up!

Son, make her leave. When the time comes, I will help you find another wife to have children with!"

My mother-in-law ordered someone to throw all my belongings outside the house, and I was also thrown out along by the servants.

People coming and going at the gate of the mansion stopped to listen.

My mother-in-law was still making a fuss and shouting for everyone to come and see, "Our Shaw family has accumulated good deeds. I didn't expect a worthless woman to marry John. You can't bear children! Now you want to leave, we will let you leave. You are a money-losing bitch!"

John stood at the gate of the mansion and stared at me, "Divorce? You got it wrong, Zoey. I don't want you anymore! I divorce you!"

He crumpled the divorce letter and threw it at me. Then he and his mother closed the door and entered the mansion without looking back.

I got up and packed my things, with constant gossip in my ears.

"I heard that she cannot bear children and is driven out?"

"She can't bear children herself and doesn't allow Mr. Shaw to take concubines. Isn't this what she deserves?"

...

I dragged my things home, when it started raining. As I arrived at the gate of the Clintons' Mansion, I was completely soaked.

But my stepmother wouldn't let anyone open the door.

She was ashamed and made me stand outside the whole night before allowing me to enter.

The next day I had a high fever.

My stepmother completely ignored me and only cared about themselves.

"If you come back like this, won't it bring shame to our family and your sisters?" My stepmother pushed the door open and said, "the Yule family needs a wife, so you should go and be a concubine. We can't afford to lose face to keep you at home."

Her daughter Leah, who was following behind my stepmother, covered her mouth and laughed. "Zoey, the general's three wives have all died. With your unlucky fate, I wonder how long you can survive if you marry into that family?"

I was burning up and couldn't say a word.

I had heard about the Yule family's situation.

The Yule family was a prestigious military family, but although General Yule has got glorious military achievements, his wife died at a young age.

People said that the Yule family had killed too many people, causing bad luck in their household.

As a result, no one in the capital dares to marry their daughters into the Yule family anymore.

My stepmother wanted to marry me into the Yule family, which was like sending me to my death.

I had a high fever for several days, but my stepmother didn't even call a doctor for me.

I managed to tough it out.

Just as the fever subsided, my stepmother had already set a date with the Yule family.

"Hurry up to marry him! Don't stay at home and bring bad luck!"

I was really surprised that a prestigious family like the Yule family would agree.

The wedding day came quickly, and although it was my second marriage, my father still prepared a dowry for me because of the Yule family's connections.

He personally waited at the gate, wanting to meet David, my new husband.

To my surprise, David didn't come to pick me up.

Instead, he sent his adjutant to represent him.

My father was so angry when he saw the adjutant that his face turned green, and the mocking laughter from the crowd made him storm into the house.

"What a disgraceful thing!"

Suddenly, laughter burst out from the crowd, "You're infertile! My son hasn't remarried, but you're already getting married! Anyway, even if you marry into the family, you're still going to die! I can't wait to see your death!"

To my surprise, it was my former mother-in-law, Madam Shaw.

She came specifically to humiliate me with the news of my marriage.

She came up to me, pointing at my nose and scolding, "No mother-in-law can stand an infertile daughter-in-law..."

But before she finished speaking, a flash of silver light appeared in her eyes, and a spear was pointed at her neck, "Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you on the spot!"

It turned out to be the adjutant sent by David to escort me.
