Chapter 2
Hollie always kept her whereabouts secret. I, her scapegoat, didn't know where she was.
I endured the pain and said bluntly, "She's a grown adult who can act freely. How can I control where she goes? I'm not her mother!"
Upon hearing this, George was more furious.
He let go of my hair and slapped me hard across the face, making my ears buzz.
I was filled with anger.
But at the same time, I was even more eager.
"Is he venting his anger?"
"He will be more furious later."
Seeing that I was stubborn and unyielding, he slapped my face with his hands and said indifferently, "Do you think I can't do anything to you? You do have a sharp tongue."
After saying that, he took out my cell phone from my pocket and unlocked it by scanning my face. Then searched for my contacts.
Seeing who my emergency contact was, George smirked.
He dialed a number.
"Honey, do you miss me? Our daughter is riding a rocking horse. I'll take her back later."
On the other end of the phone, my husband, Fernando Gavyn was as gentle as ever.
I was about to say something, but one of the bodyguards suddenly covered my mouth tightly, not allowing me to make a sound.
"You are Daisy's husband, right?"
George spoke indifferently with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
"Who are you?"
Hearing the abrupt voice of a strange man over the call, Fernando suddenly spoke more loudly. He was nervous.
...
George faced me directly and provocatively said, "I am Daisy's ex-boyfriend. Don't worry, I am married now, and I have no interest in her."
Fernando was silent for two seconds before asking, "Then what does it mean for you to call me using her cell phone?"
"I don't mean anything, I just want to tell you something about your good wife."
"Her personal life is particularly chaotic. When she was with me, she would often go out and flirt with other men."
"I found it disgusting, so I broke up with her."
"After she married you, she didn't change her ways. She would often date male models every few days. When she ran out of money, she would go to loan sharks. If she couldn't pay back the money, she would come to my wife. For so many years, she has been living off my wife's blood."
"Oh, you probably don't know yet. Your wife got beat by the legitimate wife because of her status as a mistress."
"Before, she went to the hospital to treat her syphilis. My wife went to take care of her. I guess she got the disease from fooling around outside without telling you, right?"
"You are with such a dirty woman. You must be so horny as to not be picky."
"You had a child with her. I advise you to take your daughter for a DNA test quickly. She surely isn't your offspring."
"To be honest, I've never seen a man live as miserably as you. Aren't you tired that she cheated on you for such a long time? If I were you, I'd rather be dead."
George criticized me severely, degrading me to the extreme.
At his words, Fernando, who was on the other end of the phone, remained silent for a long time.
Since I married Fernando, we were an affectionate couple.
He was honest and kind, treating me gently and considerately, especially towards our child.
No matter how serious our fight was, he would always patiently coax me and gently reason with me.
But this time, he seemed so angry with George's words that he didn't want to say anything anymore.
After hanging up the phone, George looked at me and looked smug.
"How about it? Are you still unwilling to say where Hollie is?"
The bodyguard released his hand covering my mouth.
"You illegally intruded into my private residence, restrained me, assaulted me, and spread rumors about me. All of these actions are against the law."
I glared fiercely at George, wishing to tear this idiot apart!
Seeing that I was stubborn, George became even angrier. Then he said, "Breaking the law? Then I'll let you know what real law-breaking action is!'
He ordered the other bodyguards.
"Smash her house!"
Understood, several bodyguards began to wildly vandalize my home.
The originally tidy and clean room turned into a mess in just a few minutes.
Nothing was left intact.
I gritted my teeth and said, "George, aren't you afraid of bearing the legal sanctions for being so lawless?"
George sneered.
Then he said, "The ones who will be sanctioned by the law are immoral women like you. How much money have you cheated out of Hollie in these years? Don't you know it yourself? The things in your house were all purchased with Hollie's money. What's the problem with me smashing my things?"
George's words indicated that he was justified and confident.
It seemed that he wasn't committing a crime, but punishing a deserving person.
I looked at the clock. There was less than half an hour left before Hollie's miscarriage.
The show was about to begin.
I suppressed my anger and said playfully to George, 'Why don't we wait a little longer? Your wife will contact you soon.'
Seeing that I didn't care, George became furious and said, 'How come you're being stubborn? Then I will thoroughly ruin your reputation today!'
"Take her away from me!"
Without saying a word, several bodyguards carried me to the entrance of the community.
Such a scene quickly attracted the attention of passers-by nearby.
Seeing that more and more people were watching, George deliberately publicized my 'crimes in public.
For a while, everyone around me pointed and talked about me.
"This is too much! She is a mother herself, but she sucks the blood of her pregnant cousin. She is harming others! It's a pity that her cousin is such a kind person, but she encountered this shameless beast. This woman is so ungrateful!"
"Women like her are typical hypocrites. They are lazy and greedy. They only demand from the ones around them. They will never remember your kindness. Once you give them less, they will bite you back. My wife was haunted and pestered by her hypocritical cousin, causing her to owe a lot of debts. She almost suffered from depression and committed suicide."
"This woman is a blood-sucker, taking advantage of everyone as best as she can. Whoever encounters her is unlucky!"
"The key is that she has a filthy personal life. She has a husband and children, but she hooks around with male models and becomes a mistress. I feel disgusted living in the same community as this promiscuous woman."
Everyone cursed and spat at me, treating me as an unforgivable person.
George looked at me disdainfully and provocatively and said, 'What? Do you still want to be as stubborn as ever?'
George thought he had me at his disposal, waiting for me to give in to him.
I said indifferently, "Do you think these tricks can make me give in? With just a few people in the neighborhood, what's the use of their cursing me fiercely? If I move to another place, everything will be over. You should invite some online celebrities to livestream me on the internet. Only then can I become infamous."
Faced with my provocation, George was gloomier. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Fine, as you wish!"
With that, he made another phone call.
I became even more excited.
"Go ahead and make a scene."
"The grander the scene is, the better."
"It's best to let everyone in the whole world know about the scandal in your family!"
Chapter 3
George was determined to teach me a lesson. Soon he called a group of internet celebrities to the scene. They held their cell phones and live-streamed me one by one.
[Friends, I just found out something breaking! That woman you see right now may look good on the outside, but inside, she's rotten to the core!]
[Her cousin felt sorry for her and kindly sponsored her through her college. However, instead of being grateful, she took advantage of her cousin. For so many years, she has been relying on her cousin's support. Whenever she runs out of money, she asks her cousin for help. Even though her cousin is pregnant, she has to serve her like a maid, running errands for her and accompanying her shopping. She even takes care of her when she gets drunk, despite being pregnant herself. Whenever things don't go her way, she gets angry at her cousin.]
[She takes all the good deeds her cousin had done for granted, spending extravagantly every day. She lets her cousin pay for everything. Besides taking advantage of her cousin's money, she is also using her birthday as an excuse to force her cousin to give her the luxury car at home. She even maxes out her cousin's credit card to pay off her own hugely indebted loan!]
[The key is that this person's personal life is particularly chaotic. She has a husband and children, but she messes around every day. She even took out a loan from the loan sharks to have fun with male models. What's even more disgusting is that she has no conscience. She knows she's being used. Even after being beaten by the legitimate wife, she continues to seduce men. I heard that she has been treated for syphilis at least ten times in the past few years. I have never seen a woman as dirty as her. It's like she will die if she doesn't mess around for a day.]
The live streamers vividly and colorfully attributed all sorts of groundless accusations to me.
They were making up stories and exaggerating the facts.
At that moment, all the live-streaming rooms were filled with insults toward me.
[Oh my god, her cousin and her husband are so miserable. They ran into such a shameless and despicable woman.]
[Her child is pitiful too. With such a dirty and disgusting mother, they will be ridiculed and unable to live righteously for the rest of their life.]
[It's so frustrating to hear stories of hers. Women like her bring shame to all women.]
[Yes, isn't this kind of viciousness harmful to others in the world?]
With various curses going viral online, my photos also appeared on the trending lists on Twitter.
Many people edited my photo into black and white memorial photos, accompanied by various labels such as "an ungrateful woman", "a flirtatious prostitute", "a woman with syphilis", etc.
The onlookers at the scene were driven by the incitement of the popular live streamers. They couldn't help but throw different kinds of filthy kinds of stuff at me.
Some people dining nearby even directly threw beer bottles at me.
I became the target of public criticism. Like an eternal criminal, I stood alone in the garbage dump, enduring all the insults.
At this moment, Fernando suddenly pushed a baby carriage and walked towards me from the crowded crowd.
At the sight of my husband and daughter, I, who had been lonely, instantly got encouraged.
I was like a duckweed finding a home.
The two of them, father and daughter, would keep me safe.
No matter how aggrieved I was outside, Fernando always patiently comforted me and solved all my troubles for me.
No matter how bad my mood was, all the gloom inside my heart would instantly be gone as soon as I saw my daughter smile.
They were the pillars of my spirit.
At this moment, I was eager to embrace them tightly and seek the strength to support myself.
I disregarded everything and walked towards them, letting go of all my defenses.
However, as I approached Fernando, he ruthlessly pushed me away.
Caught off guard, I lost my balance and fell directly to the ground.
Broken glass bottles were scattered all over the ground, deeply dug into my palms and thighs.
Intense pain surged in my brain.
It hurt a lot.
But I was in even more pain in my heart.
"Even Fernando doesn't believe me?"
"Daisy, you deceived me so much and made me a miserable man!"
Fernando spoke in a low voice. There was a hint of a strong sense of disappointment and anger in his tone.
"In these years of our marriage, I have treated you like a treasure, always accommodating your requests, never getting angry, and never letting you suffer any grievances."
"You said you wanted to pursue a career, so I stayed at home to take care of you and our daughter. Knowing that you were not in good health, I tried my best to learn how to cook nutritious meals, taking care of you with all my heart, and making sure you were warm and well-clothed. I was afraid that you would have some discomfort."
"But what about you?"
"By saying that you wanted to pursue a career, you sucked the blood of your cousin, fooled around with men using the money you got from loan sharks, worked as a mistress, and ruined your reputation!"
"I worked so hard to take care of you and make you physically healthy. You ruined your body by being involved in such a dirty and disgusting affair!"
"Daisy, why are you so despicable?"
"How can I and our daughter hold our heads up in front of others in the future?"
Fernando, who had always been gentle, seemed to have dramatically changed at this moment.
He shouted hoarsely. Every word of his was filled with extreme disappointment and disgust towards me.
Seeing him like this, I felt even more uncomfortable in my heart. I endured the pain and explained it to him.
"Fernando, I... "
Before I could finish my words, Fernando slapped me directly in the face.
"Shut up! Don't call my name. You don't deserve it!"
After saying that, he took off the wedding ring in his hands and threw it at my face.
"Let's get divorced, and you can keep this illegitimate child!"
Every word Fernando had said placed me in heart-wrenching pain, leaving me completely devastated.
His slap made the last trace of hope in my heart void into the air.
I stood still, staring at him foolishly as if my soul had been taken away.
George took the opportunity to mock me.
"Daisy, now you know what it feels like to be disgraced, right? As a dirty woman, who is greedy and self-loathing, you don't deserve anyone's love, let alone Hollie's kindness to you."
"Fortunately, I saw through you early and stayed away from you, a disgusting blood-sucker. Being in a relationship with you is the greatest shame of my life."
"The only thing you have done in your life well is to bring Hollie, such a good woman, to my side. From now on, you will experience the taste of being despised by everyone! Anyway, I won't let Hollie continue to associate with you. Let's see how you will live without Hollie!"
George's words instantly resonated with everyone on the scene.
For a while, the audiences online, the onlookers, and the major streamers all started endlessly insulting me.
It was so horrible to be verbally abused by the public and so many people.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I couldn't help but collapse inside.
Just at this moment, George's cell phone rang.
The caller was Hollie.
As soon as George pressed the answer button, Hollie's crying voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Honey, I... I had a miscarriage!"
At her words, George's eyes instantly turned red. He asked, "What happened?"
Hollie hesitated and said, "It's all because of Daisy! She insisted on having sex with a group of male models. I kindly advised her, but she pushed me down and caused me to have a miscarriage!"
Hollie's words made me, who was in a tricky situation, breathe a sigh of relief.
"Everything is finally going to end."
