Let's Get Divorced

"What design draft? The one for the dress on your desk in the study?"

Trey frowned.

"I showed them to Emilee. She said that she had encountered a bottleneck in her design and wanted to look at some manuscript, but your childish manuscript was useless to her."

"Useless?"

Kristen loosened her hand and staggered back a few steps. Her whole body trembled, and she was almost unable to speak.

"Trey, what right do you have to steal my dream? It's my entry!

"How can you be so cruel?

"You don't like me. You hate me. It's fine. But how can you be so shameless?"

Kristen roared madly at Trey, her tears falling.

She had known him for more than a decade and loved him for seven years. She had always followed him obediently, just like a marionette.

He was the source of all her emotions.

But...

"What's wrong with you?"

Trey was very dissatisfied with Kristen making a scene in the company.

"What's wrong with me?

"Emilee copied my script and published it early. She ruined my dreams and my future. And you're accusing me?

"Trey, how can you do this to me?"

Trey drove Kristen mad.

All the grievances she had endured these years burst out in an instant.

She rushed up, grabbed Trey by the collar, and questioned him madly.

"Let go, you bitch! What are you doing?"

Kailyn rushed up and pulled Kristen.

Kristen was so angry that she slapped Kailyn in the face.

Kailyn's expression changed at once. "Bitch! How dare you hit me!

"You're dead!"

Kailyn fought with Kristen.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Trey frowned and reached out to pull Kristen. "Enough. This is my company. Stop making a fuss! Look at yourself!

"Let the driver send you back. We'll talk tonight."

Just as Trey pulled Kristen, Kailyn was able to break free and slapped Kristen hard twice.

Trey's eyes turn cold. "What are you doing?"

"She slapped me first."

Kailyn snorted, still feeling aggrieved.

Trey hurriedly looked down and wanted to say something.

Yet he saw that Kristen, who had been like a leopard just now, suddenly lost her fighting spirit.

"Trey."

Kristen suddenly looked up at him, her eyes dimmed.

Trey was slightly stunned. He had a bad feeling.

"Let's get divorced."

Kristen thought, let's just leave it like this. I woke up after seven years...

Trey was instantly stunned.

"What did you say?"

"Let's get divorced."

Kristen broke free from him, turned around, and walked step by step towards the heavy rain, muttering, "Seven years. I've been a fool for seven years."

She thought, Emilee is the only one he loves.

I had the delusion that if I worked hard enough, Trey would see me one day.

And now, I have nothing.

It has been my dream to be an excellent fashion designer.

I don't want to be a woman relying on others without income or independent financial ability.

However, in Trey's eyes, I'm just a joke.

"Kristen, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Seeing Kristen walking into the heavy rain without looking back, Trey felt something weird. After a moment of silence, he chased after her.

"Trey!"

Kailyn quickly grabbed Trey and held his arm, refusing to let go. "Trey, I am so scared."

"Kristen!"

Meanwhile, Kristen, who had walked to the middle of the road, didn't see the car coming from the side at all...

You Are Nothing

Trey roared and pushed Kailyn aside, running toward the middle of the road.

"Mr. McKee, there is a crazy woman in front!"

Bryce Donaldson, who was driving, was startled by Kristen, who suddenly came into his sight.

In the back seat, a man with his legs crossed and a black suit was resting with his eyes closed. Hearing Bryce's words, he opened his eyes slightly and glanced at her coldly. His profile was hard.

"What are you waiting for instead of stepping on the brakes? You want my opinion?"

Bang!

The car stopped.

The man almost bumped into the passenger seat. He frowned unhappily.

Bryce felt innocent.

He thought, you asked me to brake.

"Where is she?"

The man asked coldly.

"I didn't hit her. It was a few inches away."

Bryce glanced at the rearview and sighed with relief.

He was glad that he was good at driving. Others might not be able to react.

Kristen was startled by the sudden appearance of the car. She blacked out, hit the car, and fell.

Bryce was stunned.

"Mr. McKee, I didn't hit her. Believe me! It was a scam!"

The man said nothing and looked on coldly.

Then Trey came out and picked up the unconscious Kristen.

"Trey?

"Kristen Stafford, the daughter-in-law of the Barrett family," the man sneered coldly.

"Let's go."

The man's car left quickly.

Trey turned to look at the car. The plate looked familiar.

He was stunned for a moment. Then he came back to his senses and looked down at the woman who had fainted. Her hair was messy, her body was wet, and her hands had wounds.

In all the years he had known her, it was the first time he had ever seen her so embarrassed.

And the scene of her fighting with Kailyn shocked him even more.

Kristen always struck him as a well-behaved bunny. She was quiet and meek, and she didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of him. Yet today, she was like a shrew.

Was that the Kristen he knew?

"Trey, I thought we were going to dinner.

"She didn't get hit. She must be pretending to be unconscious. Don't be fooled by her. She's a vixen.

"She looks innocent, but I'm sure she is very scheming."

Kailyn finally got a chance to date Trey, and she was unwilling to let go of the opportunity. She rushed over anxiously and pinched Kristen hard.

She thought that Kristen was putting on an act and secretly pinched Kristen hard.

"Piss off!"

Trey was very annoyed. He had no time to deal with Kailyn.

His assistant had already driven up.

Trey picked up Kristen and got in the car.

Looking at the car that sped away, Kailyn stomped her foot angrily and cursed, "Kristen, you bitch! You ruined everything! How scheming! You tried to win him back by acting like you were going to leave him!

"You are just the daughter of a driver, yet you won't step down! You just want to be Trey's wife! You're so disgusting."

By the time Kristen woke up, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

She was awakened by the frantic vibrating sound of her phone.

She opened her eyes in a daze, took the phone, and saw messages from her teacher, the class chat group, and her friends. The word "plagiarism" overwhelmed her.

Her teacher was extremely disappointed in her, saying that he would no longer take her as his student and asking her to find another teacher.

Someone in the class chat group took the lead to text, which was echoed by many: "The plagiarist should get lost! Out of New York University! Out of our class!"

The word "plagiarism" was like a sharp blade, stabbing her heart hard.

She used to be the teacher's most proud student, but now she was accused by everyone as a plagiarist.

Kristen slowly closed her eyes and cried.

No one knew how desperate she was right now.

She thought, I will divorce Trey. I'm tired.

I will no longer be a fool.

I don't owe the Barrett family or Trey.

Kristen took a deep breath and got out of bed. She found a pen and paper to write the divorce papers.

Her marriage with Trey started with a joke, and now it should end with a joke.

Bang!

The bedroom door was kicked open without warning.

Giada Fast and Genesis Whyet rushed in.

Kristen frowned. "What are you doing?"

"What are we doing?

"You disgrace the Barrett family. Mrs. Barrett asks you to get down and kneel."

Giada and Genesis came over, grabbed Kristen's arms, and dragged her out.

"Let go of me!

"I am the daughter-in-law of the Barrett family."

"The daughter-in-law of the Barrett family?

"You are just a woman who disgraces the Barrett family. You are nothing! Move!"

Kneel

Trey hated Kristen's guts.

He displayed his hatred for her in front of everyone without reservation, especially after they were married.

He hated her. He even wanted to torture her.

All the other members of the Barrett family, except for Alfred Barrett, who was ill in bed, also showed great malice toward Kristen.

Therefore, Kristen was the most humble in the Barrett family.

Giada and Genesis were the maids of Nathalie Barrett, Trey's mother, and they had no respect for Kristen at all.

"Mrs. Barrett, she is going downstairs!"

Giada and Genesis pulled Kristen by the arm and dragged her down the stairs.

Almost everyone from the Barrett family was in the hall.

Trey was sitting on the sofa and talking to his second brother, Trevon Barrett.

The youngest daughter of the Barrett family, Harley Barrett, was eating snacks.

There were also other people from the Barrett family.

"Kneel!"

Nathalie was furious and looked at Kristen as if she was looking at some trash.

However, Kristen, who had always been obedient, glanced at Nathalie with indifference. "I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I?"

"How dare you?

"Giada, Genesis, pin her to the ground!"

Bang!

Giada kicked Kristen on her right knee.

Kristen was so painful that her face turned pale. She staggered a few steps but stubbornly didn't kneel.

Seeing that, Genesis kicked Kristen on the left knee.

She and Giada held Kristen's arms at the same time and pressed Kristen down hard.

Kristen couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on the ground in a sorry state. Her knees were killing her.

Giada and Genesis had been following Nathalie for years. Though they were maids, they were very vicious. They had endless ways to torture people.

Trey looked at the scene expressionlessly.

Kristen glanced at him habitually. When she met his cold eyes, she instantly came back to her senses and withdrew her gaze.

What was she looking forward to?

"Look at what you have done. You plagiarized in the competition. Now the whole fashion industry knows. Everyone is saying that the daughter-in-law of the Barrett family is a plagiarist!

"I told you long ago. Don't force yourself if you don't have what it takes! Just stay home and give birth to a child for Trey! Do you think our family can't afford to support you? Why do you have to cause trouble for us?

"You disgrace us all!"

Nathalie was so angry that her face was livid. She pointed at Kristen and accused Kristen ceaselessly, no longer looking graceful and luxurious anymore.

Kristen chuckled. "I disgrace you?

"Mrs. Barrett, ask your son.

"Isn't he the chief culprit of all of this?"

Kristen looked up and stared at Trey sarcastically. Her voice was never so cold. "Trey, your wonderful son, my husband, ignored the reputation of the Barrett family for a shameless mistress!"

Trey was stunned and looked at her in surprise.

He thought, is she crazy because of what happened?

"How dare you!"

Ariana Barrett, Trey's grandmother, had been silent. And now, she suddenly became furious. "You are so lawless and shameless! How did we let you become the daughter-in-law of our family?

"Reed, bring me the whip!

"I must teach this ignorant woman a lesson today!"

"Grandma..."

Trey subconsciously tried to stop Ariana.

Ariana's expression changed, and she looked at Trey coldly. "Shut up! Don't defend her. She made a mistake, and she deserves to be punished!"

Reed Mond, the housekeeper, came over with a whip in his hand.

The whip was passed down from the ancestors of the Barrett family.

The Barrett family was prestigious, yet they still kept the tradition.

Reed held the whip and stood behind Kristen.

Ariana said coldly, "Whip her hard. Ask her every ten lashes until she admits her mistake."

"Yes, Mrs. Barrett."

Whip!

Reed lashed the whip.

Kristen knelt on the ground. Her back was in pain, but she gritted her teeth, suffering in silence. She even tried to straighten her back with great stubbornness.

Seeing that, Ariana was completely provoked.

"Whip her!

"Whip her hard! I'll see how long she can hold on to it!"
