I couldn't believe these words were coming from Felix.

I was from Harresburg, and his family was from a rural area.

Sadie always wanted him to marry someone from their village, someone close by who could take care of her and Leticia in the future.

She has always disliked me, a daughter-in-law from the city.

Leticia, spoiled by Sadie, was arrogant and rude, and she believed I took her brother away, treating me terribly.

My parents were strongly against our marriage.

But Felix and I were college sweethearts, and he always treated me well.

So I didn't mind his poor background, nor Sadie's harshness, nor Leticia's rudeness, and married him despite my parents' objections.

After getting pregnant with my son the second year of our marriage, I quit my job as a design manager to focus on being a stay-at-home mom.

I always tried to keep the peace with Sadie and Leticia despite the occasional conflicts.

Today was Felix's 30th birthday, and Sadie and Leticia came from the countryside to celebrate. I'd been busy all day without a word of complaint.

I just thought, as long as Felix was good to me, it was enough.

But now, reality slapped me hard in the face.

Waking me up to the fact that being a love-struck fool was not wise!

"You'd better apologize right now! Or I'll have my brother divorce you!"

"How dare you! My mom never hit me, and you hit me!"

Leticia, seeing I wasn't speaking, grew even more furious.

Sadie scolded, "Are you deaf? My son told you to apologize to Leticia! What kind of thing are you?!"

I coldly looked at them. "My son is always polite to strangers, calling them brother and sister! He wouldn't tell Leticia to get lost for no reason! She must have done something to him!"

Leticia yelled, "What could I have done?! I was just playing with him!"

Sadie echoed, "Exactly! Leticia is a good kid!"

Felix's face turned dark with anger, glaring at me.

I picked up my phone and played back the surveillance footage. "Let's see the surveillance footage!"

The footage showed.

Leticia played with my son's teddy bear.

It was his favorite teddy bear, which he even sleeped with.

She held it high, then lowered it when he couldn't reach, repeating this for half an hour.

When he got tired and didn't want it anymore, Leticia cut the teddy bear into pieces.

She maliciously smiled and said to him, "Since you don't want it, let's throw it away."

Under the collapse, her son said, 'Get lost!'

Then came what I saw when I stepped in.

I turned off the footage. "See clearly? Leticia started it."

Sadie was unreasonable. "What do you mean Leticia started it? It's just a teddy bear! Cutting it up is nothing compared to Leticia!"

Leticia added insultingly, "I'm your elder! Your family claims to be cultured, yet you hit your elders? How uncultured! Apologize now!"

I sneered, "What kind of elder are you? Bullying a five-year-old, don't you have any shame?"

"Leticia compared to a teddy bear? A teddy bear has value! Leticia is nothing!"

Sadie sat on the ground, kicking her legs and throwing a tantrum. "Oh, what a sin! My hard-raised son doesn't care about his mother and sister once he has a wife! Letting this wicked wife bully us!"

Leticia also sat on the ground. "What a sin! Even teaching our Galvan family's grandson to be bad!"

Felix, his face red with anger, shouted, "Just apologize to my sister, it's not a big deal!"

I glanced at him. "You still think I should apologize?"

Felix frowned. "You shouldn't have contradicted my mom and sister."

In Felix's stunned eyes, I slapped him hard. "Contradicting your mother and sister? I've been good to you all these years, and you've become arrogant, haven't you?"

Sadie and Leticia were dumbfounded on the ground.

Sadie was the first to snap back to reality. She jumped up and touched Felix's face, distressed, "Son, does it hurt?"

Leticia also got up and surrounded Felix, instigating, "Felix, you've married a viper! She's going to turn the Galvan family upside down!"

Felix covered his face, still looking at me in disbelief.

I sent my son to his room and quickly ran to the kitchen to grab a kitchen knife.

They were so scared that they kept retreating.

I slammed the knife on the table. "Shout! Why aren't you shouting anymore? If you shout again, I'll slice you up one by one!"

Sadie's face turned pale. "Kaitlyn, don't be impulsive!"

Leticia was also trembling. "It's illegal to kill, you have to think of Kane!"

I pointed the knife at the door. "You two! Get out of my house now!"

Felix, afraid they would provoke me further, hurriedly drove them away.

"Son, that viper won't hurt you, right?"

"Mom, she won't. Kaitlyn loves Felix. Let's go quickly. Felix will handle this."

The room finally became quiet.

Felix resumed his gentle demeanor. "Alright, honey, don't be angry anymore. Look at you, you were so fierce, scaring them away, and you even hit me. You've vented enough, put the knife down, be good."

My initially calm emotions exploded instantly.

Obviously, the one who suffered just now was my son!

I was the one facing their family's insults and forced to apologize!

Yet he thought I was fierce! That I scared them!

In the end, I was the sinner!

I broke down completely, hysterically shouting, "In your eyes, everything is my fault! Your sister is aggrieved, your mom is aggrieved! But I am not a person!"

Felix impatiently said, "Can you stop being so unreasonable? How did you become like this? It's really incomprehensible! Calm down yourself!"

With that, he sat on the sofa and started watching TV.

As if everything had nothing to do with him.

I suddenly felt disheartened, the infatuation seemed to be suddenly pulled out of my brain.

I coldly said, "Felix, let's get a divorce."

Felix still watched TV without moving.

I walked straight back to the room, picked up my son, and headed out.

Felix realized I was serious, quickly chased after me, and grabbed me. "Have you had enough?"

I sneered, "What? Get your filthy hand off my shoulder."

He didn't let go.

I put my son down. "Son, turn around."

My son obediently turned his back to us.

I grabbed Felix by the hair, swung my hand, and slapped him in the face. "If you mess with me again, I'll slam you against the wall and you won't be able to get off!"

Felix fought back while cursing, "Shrew! Shrew!"

I laughed mockingly, "Did you just meet me today?"

Probably, I had been playing the virtuous wife and loving mother for so long that he forgot I was the queen bee at Anaville University!

He stopped fighting back and resigned himself.

I clapped my hands, picked up my son, and left in high spirits.

I had to say, sometimes it felt great to be a shrew!
