I tried my best to get Kendrick's attention, but Kendrick turned a blind eye to me.

Worse still, Kendrick even flirted with his brother's wife at home...

I had just gotten engaged to Kendrick, and everything I saw today was very hard for me to accept.

I couldn't help but think, Why?

Did I do something wrong?

Why did Kendrick take such a risk to have an affair with Maura?

All kinds of thoughts ran through my mind.

The more I thought about it, the sadder and desperate I became.

After a long while, I finally stopped crying, but I was still very sad.

I sat by the bed dejectedly and picked up my phone.

I wanted to call Maura and question her.

However, at this moment, someone knocked on the door of my room.

Subconsciously, I got up and opened the door.

Then, I saw Maura standing outside with tears on her face.

Obviously, she had cried just now.

Maura threw herself into my arms as soon as she entered my room.

She hugged me tightly and choked with sobs.

She said with sobs, "Ingrid, I feel so terrible.

"Kendrick... He has been harassing me.

"I rejected him many times, but he just wouldn't let me go.

"I don't know what to do...

"I'd rather die than..."

I looked at the sobbing Maura in front of me.

After hearing what she said, I felt so complicated in my heart.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

I wanted to ask Maura why she didn't tell me earlier.

Was it because she felt guilty?

However, when I saw Maura's tearful face and pitiful look, I didn't question her about anything.

I became soft-hearted again.

I thought that maybe Maura was also the victim. Maybe I blamed her wrongly.

I sighed and lightly patted Maura's back.

I comforted her softly, "Maura, don't be afraid. I'm here.

"I didn't expect that Kendrick, that bastard, would even dare to harass you. I will never let him hurt you."

Maura gently lifted her head and looked at me with her tearful eyes.

She seemed a little hesitant.

But the next moment, she made up her mind and nodded.

Then, she said, "Ingrid, I really don't dare to tell Hayden about this. After all, I don't have any concrete evidence.

"If Kendrick plays the victim and says that I seduced him, I really don't know what to do to clear my name then.

"Besides, he dares to harass me like this right after he marries you. Who knows how dissolute he is outside?"

Maura's words seemed to have reminded me.

I thought, Yeah. He even dared to harass my bestie.

Who knows how many mistresses he has already?

Maura continued, "Ingrid, you must trust me. If you are not on my side, then I really don't know what to do.

"How about this? You find a way to follow him, and I'll leave evidence when he tries to harass me again. His grandpa cares about the family's reputation the most."

I added, "As long as he dares to harass you again, we'll be able to teach him a lesson."

As I looked into Maura's resolute eyes, the rage in my heart was ignited.

I thought, That's right. We can't just sit still and do nothing.

We have to let Kendrick pay the price!

Then, Maura and I began to discuss countermeasures.

Maura said, "Ingrid, I just saw a lighter of a private club on his desk.

"That club is a famous gathering place for the rich and celebrities. I suspect that he must have some other women there.

"Or he's doing something shady in that place."

Then, she recommended a private detective to me.

She said, "Ever since he kept coming to chat with me, I felt that something was wrong. At that time, I began to think about how to deal with Kendrick. This is the detective that my friend recommended to me. You can also contact him.

"As long as you find evidence, you can control him in the future."

After Maura finished her words, a strange look flashed across her eyes.

I didn't want to doubt Kendrick.

However, when I thought of how cold he was to me, I couldn't help but feel resentful.

Under Maura's persuasion, I spent a lot of money hiring a private detective.

I asked the private detective to record Kendrick's every move secretly.

A few days later, Maura came to me in a hurry.

There was also a stack of photos in her hand.

I took those photos and gasped when I looked at them.

In the photo, Kendrick was smiling happily with a young and beautiful woman in a private room.

Looking at their intimate posture, I was furious.

I tried my best to please Kendrick, but this was what he did to me.

He had been so cold to me at home. But when he was outside, he smiled so happily at another woman.

Maura noticed that I was in a bad mood.

Looking at my gloomy face, she comforted me softly.

"Ingrid, don't be too sad. That's a man's nature.

"Now that you have the evidence, if he dares to make you unhappy, you will release these things to the public and let him learn his lesson."

I sneered and gripped the photos tightly.

I said to myself in my heart, Yeah. We've been engaged for so long.

I've always thought that I was not attractive enough to Kendrick.

But it turns out that I was totally wrong about him.

Maura said to me, "Kendrick seems to have become disciplined these days. He hasn't come to harass me again.

"So, I haven't got any evidence yet."

I looked at Maura, who seemed to be blaming herself.

I patted her gently on the shoulder. Then, I immediately took these photos to question Kendrick.

The moment, Kendrick saw those photos, the expression on his face changed.

He rushed up to me, wanting to snatch the photos, but I dodged him.

I sneered at him.

"You've really surprised me, Kendrick. If it weren't for these photos, I would have thought you couldn't even get an erection.

"Not only did you have a mistress outside, but you also wanted my bestie.

"From now on, you'll have to listen to me. Otherwise..."

Kendrick flew into a rage and pushed me to the ground.

He gritted his teeth.

"Ingrid, how dare you threaten me.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you? These photos can prove nothing. I just had a meal with my friend. There's nothing between us.

"I'm not like you. In order to marry into the Sherman family, you even used your best friend."

Seeing Kendrick's attitude, I was stunned.

Friend? I repeated the word in my heart. Then, I looked at those photos carefully again.

Although they indeed looked very intimate, they didn't do anything out of line.

It was more like a kind of casualness between friends.

My heart sank.

I sat on the ground in dejection, and tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Kendrick pushed me away and spoke to me coldly.

"Ingrid, I'll warn you again.

"I absolutely won't let a woman who doesn't trust me and even wants to threaten me stay by my side.

"If there's a next time, don't blame me for being rude to you then."

With that, Kendrick left without looking back.

Looking at Kendrick's receding figure, I felt so hurt in my heart.

I regretted it so much that I wanted to slap myself.

I thought to myself, How could I be so stupid?

Why did I believe Maura's words so easily and begin to suspect my husband?

But what exactly was going on between him and Maura?

Why did he say that I was using Maura?

I sat on the ground, and my mind was in a mess.

In the following days, I checked the surveillance video at home from time to time.

What made me angry was that I often "happened to see" Kendrick going to find Maura.

But every time I went to Maura, she looked frightened and innocent.

She accused Kendrick and complained to me with tears.

However, Kendrick was just saying.

He didn't take any practical action.

Thus, we still didn't have any evidence.

Although I had some doubts in my heart, I felt that something was wrong.

But because I trusted my best friend, I didn't say anything about my doubt.

I could only comfort Maura again and again.

I told her that I would definitely find a way to collect evidence and expose Kendrick's true face.

Maura seemed to be very satisfied with my support.

And she was getting more and more intimate with me.

She often held my hand and asked about my well-being.

I was very touched.

I thought to myself, My husband is completely ignoring me now.

But fortunately, I still have my bestie, Maura.

She has even become my sister-in-law. She's my family now.

There's still someone in this world who truly cares about me.

Maura kept instigating me, and I also listened to her.

As a result, my relationship with Kendrick was getting worse and worse.

I even began to follow Kendrick myself.

I wanted to get more evidence of his cheating.

Kendrick was very dissatisfied with my behavior.

He had warned me many times not to make trouble for him.

However, I turned a deaf ear to him. At the same time, I even thought that he said those words because he felt guilty. So, I followed him even more frequently.

Finally, one day, Kendrick couldn't stand it anymore.

He asked me to go to the study and harshly questioned me in front of Maura.

"Ingrid, what exactly do you want? You kept following me and monitoring me. Is this what a wife should do to her husband?

"There's nothing between me and Maura. Why are you slandering us?"

In the face of Kendrick's questioning, I suppressed the bitterness in my heart.

I sneered, "Kendrick, how could you be so shameless? Nothing between you two?

"I saw it all in the study last time. You two were both in there!

"I was so stupid back then. I can't believe I married a scumbag like you. If it weren't for the lack of evidence, I would have already sued you!"

Kendrick tried to defend himself and said hurriedly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Maura and I aren't..."

However, he was interrupted by Maura.

Maura looked pitifully at Kendrick.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled.

"Kendrick, why are you still trying to lie to us?

"How can a weak woman like me be able to control a man like you?

"You always came to me and said something inexplicable to me. You even threatened me to divorce Hayden, and if I don't, you would sell me abroad."

Kendrick blushed and was so angry that he suddenly didn't know what to say.

It was as if Maura was right about him.

Maura continued, "I was so scared and desperate. At that time, I really wanted to die immediately..."

"Maura, you... How can you slander me like this?

"It was you who seduced me first. You kept pestering me. That's why I..."

I looked coldly at Kendrick, who was in a panic.

I became more and more furious.

The next second, I strode forward and gave Kendrick a hard slap in the face.

Then, I snapped at him loudly, "Kendrick!

"Are you still trying to lie to me? I really can't believe that the man I married is actually such a bastard.

"Fortunately, we just got engaged to each other. Our marriage ends here. I'll divorce you!"

Kendrick covered his burning face and glared at me.

There was a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Kendrick snorted, "Humph, Ingrid, do you think you can get a divorce just because you want it?

"What do you think the Sherman family is? You can't just leave like that.

"Ingrid, don't forget that it was you who wanted to marry me back then, not the other way around.

"Now, you want to destroy me by divorcing me, huh? In your dreams!"

Looking at Kendrick's shameless look, I became even angrier.

Just as I wanted to say something, Maura suddenly knelt on the ground and begged Kendrick with tears.

"Kendrick, please let Ingrid go! It's all my fault.

"I shouldn't have got close to you back then. Otherwise, you two wouldn't have turned against each other. But Ingrid is innocent. Please don't make things difficult for her anymore.

"Let me bear all the consequences. If you want to blame someone, blame me! It's all my fault!"
