Chapter 1
I always thought my wife, Audrey Watson, loved me.
It wasn't until I saw that Audrey's love score for me was zero percent that I realized she was in love with my best friend.
Audrey was tenderly flirting with my best friend in our wedding room.
"Don't worry. He's not coming back!"
I thought, "Well, since you are so in love with each other, I'll let you carry on a clandestine love affair."
Later, Audrey cried her heart out and begged me to remarry her.

As I was at the door of my house, there was laughter coming from inside.
I heard the man say, "What if your husband comes home in a while?"
Audrey smiled softly and paused for a few seconds.
Then, she said frankly, "He's on a business trip, so he won't be back!"
His tone sounded so natural that she had probably done it many times behind my back.
I clenched my fists, and I should have rushed in, punched the cheaters, and divorced Audrey.
At this moment, I just felt like my feet weighed thousands of pounds, making it impossible for me to move.
What was our five years of marriage?
I started to feel confused.
Then, I clicked into Audrey's Instagram.
Her latest update was a picture of a woman's back.
The woman turned around, her dimples appeared on her face when she smiled, and her eyes looked bright.
It turned out she was looking at a man.
The woman in the picture was Audrey.
I saw that Instagram with the caption:[Happy day!]
I felt so upset.
I truly realized that my wife was cheating on me.
She even went so far as to directly bring a man home to do that in our wedding room.
I wanted to confront her.
But I hesitated.
I was going to knock on the door to see Audrey's reaction.
As soon as I did so, sure enough, there was the rustling sound inside.
I wanted to rush in, but I was hesitant.

"Why are you back?"
The door was opened by me.
A familiar and impatient voice rang in my ears.
It was Audrey.
A man was standing beside Audrey, and I saw that he moved his hand quickly away from her waist.
Audrey glanced at me for a second.
"Didn't you go on a business trip?"
To be honest, I should have revealed their adultery, but I still said, "I wanted to surprise you, so I came back early."
At this moment, I could see others' love scores for me.
As I looked up to see her love score for me on the top of her head go from twenty percent to zero percent, I felt insulted.
I looked calm, but I was feeling miserable inside.
"I have told you that you don't have to prepare so many surprises for me."
Audrey looked at me with disgust in her eyes.
I didn't say anything.
I looked over at the man.
The man looked flustered as he stood in place awkwardly.
His blurry features became increasingly clearer in front of me.
I was shocked.
After a while, I said hoarsely, "Benjamin?"

The man in front of me was my best friend.
We had known each other for more than ten years.
Benjamin Clark was an excellent child in every aspect as a child, but he came from a poor family. His parents were so strict with him and always wanted him to make it in the big city.
However, Benjamin had just graduated from college, so it was hard for him to find a suitable job. Besides, he didn't have a place to live, so he was in dire need of money.
I reached out to Benjamin and took him to my dad's company to relieve his extreme urgency.
I could remember when Audrey and I got married, Benjamin was my best man and he teased, "When I become a rich man in the future, I'm going to marry a woman like Audrey!"
Every time I heard his words, I would say jokingly, "Audrey is so wonderful, and it's not easy to get a woman like her!"
So did he just get a woman like that?
I would never have believed Audrey would betray me before, no matter what.
Chapter 2
I would even less believe that my best friend would go behind my back and be with my wife.
"Landon."
Benjamin rubbed his nose in embarrassment and uttered my name.
"Well!" I sneered, "Benjamin, why are you in my house?"
Benjamin stepped forward and put his arm around my shoulders, anxiously explaining to me, "Landon, Audrey messaged me that the power head was broken, so I came over to help her.
"Don't blame Audrey. Landon, look at you, how could you leave Audrey home alone?"
I thought, "Did you help her in bed?
I wasn't home for you to take advantage of the situation."
I never realized how sophisticated and adaptable Benjamin had become.
The friend who used to be so grateful to me when I invited him to dinner had completely disappeared.
Seeing that I was silent, Audrey actively turned around and stepped in front of Benjamin.
Audrey's instinctive action stunned both her and me.
I could see that Audrey had chosen Benjamin between me and him.
Audrey, in a rare move, didn't make a scene.
She looked at Benjamin.
"You should leave. Thank you for today!"
Benjamin nodded and headed outside.
As Benjamin passed me, he whispered, "Landon, for the sake of me being your friend, you should quit!"

When Benjamin left, Audrey took me in the room while I was distracted.
"Landon, we've been married for five years, so don't be paranoid!
"I truly love you. Don't you believe me?"
I thought it was ridiculous.
Audrey made it worse when she thought she had nothing to hide.
She thought she had done it without any flaws, but the love score had betrayed her a long time ago.
Moreover, at that moment, the number on top of her head had gone from zero to a negative number.
A negative number meant that not only did she not love me, she even hated me.
I couldn't figure out what I had done wrong to make her hate me so much.
At this moment, I wasn't completely disappointed in Audrey.
It was only when Audrey came up and wrapped her arms around me tenderly. "Honey, don't even think about it!"
With that, Audrey took my hand and moved it to her abdomen.
In an instant, I felt worried. I had a terrible premonition.
"Honey, I'm pregnant!
"I had an ultrasound scan a few days ago. You were on a business trip, so I didn't tell you. I wanted to surprise you, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."
Even though Audrey clearly expressed the fact, I didn't want to hear any more at this moment.
I saw the score above Audrey's head go from a negative number to a positive one.
It was just Audrey's excuse to find a father for her child.
She would do anything.
I tried my hardest to calm down so that my voice didn't sound so strange.
"You're pregnant, so you should stay home and take care of yourself.
"Don't think about anything else!"
Seeing that I didn't bring up what happened just now, Audrey unexpectedly gave me a kiss.
I avoided her gaze and glanced at the B-mode ultrasound image to make sure she was undoubtedly pregnant.
Audrey tried to ask me to have dinner with her, but I excused myself and said I had some work to do at the office, so I left in a hurry.
When I left the house, I scratched my head madly.
Look at the cheaters!
Audrey was apparently pregnant, but the baby she was carrying wasn't mine.
Because I had azoospermia.
I didn't know this until I got a checkup afterward. I felt guilty about Audrey because of this, so I treated her better than before.
Unexpectedly, Audrey had an affair with my best friend, and she wanted me to be the father of the bastard.
I figured it out after a long time.
I was an idiot who ended up with nothing.
I wanted to divorce Audrey!
Chapter 3
I wanted to settle the score with them before I got divorced.
After all, I had treated Audrey well over the past years, and her family depended on me a lot.
Since she did this to me, I was going to send her straight to the abyss.
I would like to see how she would survive after that without me.

Audrey grew up in a poor family, and her parents didn't love her. They finally got a son after having three daughters.
When I went to Audrey's house for the first time to discuss the marriage, her brother, Charlie, asked me for a large sum of money on behalf of her mother, Patricia.
I didn't agree, so Charlie just kicked me out of his house.
Charlie's attitude was particularly arrogant. He said he had three sisters, and if they went to work, he would get a lot of money. He also told me that I didn't have the self-knowledge and that I should just get out if I didn't give him any money.
I didn't have a poor family, and there were several houses and cars in my family. My parents used to like buying houses when they were young, and they even got the removal expense after they bought them.
They could live on their removal expense for the rest of their lives, and I was the only child in the family.
After graduation, I went to my father's company to inherit the family fortune, and I had a promising future as a rich man.
When my parents saw that Audrey came from such a poor family, they advised me to give up because Audrey's family were all like vampires.
Since I was going to marry a poor girl, I should have given up before it was too late. Audrey insisted and came to my house swearing that she would only marry me. Moreover, she said that even if I had an unfortunate accident one day, she would be a widow for me.
I was so merciful that I ended up taking my bank card and property certificate to her house, so our marriage was finalized this time.
After that, nothing major happened, but there were constant trivial things.
Her family would do anything and make trouble out of nothing to get money from me.
Furthermore, they even threatened me that if I didn't give them the money, they would make Audrey divorce me and ask her to marry a rich farmer.
Every time I saw Audrey begging me in tears, I couldn't help it and gave her a favor.
Now, well, I chose to let it go.
They could do whatever they wanted to do.
I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart and called Benjamin.
"Dude, come out for a few drinks!"
Benjamin came to me directly, but his eyes obviously looked weird, like he was avoiding me on purpose.
"Landon, actually..." I interrupted him just as he was about to say something.
"Benjamin, Audrey is pregnant." I held my wine glass, which was filled with ice.
No matter how full the glass was, the sadness in my mind couldn't be soothed.
I stared straight at Benjamin.
Benjamin's hand paused with his drink, his eyes showing panic. Then, he congratulated me.
"Landon, you are so blessed!"
I didn't say anything, and he got very flustered by me.
Thinking about the impulsive things he said during the day, Benjamin began to apologize. While he was sniffling, he asked me not to divorce Audrey for the sake of the baby.
Benjamin said that it was hard for us to have a baby, and that we would have a child to keep us company in the future, which was what many people would dream of.
He told me that if I didn't think it was enough, I could beat him up to vent my anger, and if that didn't work again, he would apologize to me sincerely.
I looked extremely calm.
I just wanted to gather evidence and keep the cheaters together forever.
After a while, I started to act drunk and get Benjamin drunk with one glass after another, and I talked a lot about the old days.
Benjamin sincerely reminisced with me about the past from the bottom of his heart.
In order to let Benjamin relax his vigilance, I finally got him drunk.
At last, Benjamin got drunk and told the truth.
"Landon, I'm jealous of you. Why do you get everything?
"Landon, I slept with Audrey, and you need to know that the unloved are the cheaters."
With that, Benjamin fell back to sleep.
Seeing this, I took out my cell phone and turned off the recording.
Of course, that was just the beginning.
