“I didn’t expect the fall to knock some sense into you instead of giving you brain damage,” she gritted out.
She’d chosen that location specifically after scouting it out several times. That part of the water, though deep, looked harmless, but there were a lot of hidden rocks below the surface. A fall from that height would almost certainly result in death or injury if I hit the rocks.
Unfortunately for her, I had lived to tell the tale.
“Why didn’t you show this video to everyone instead of negotiating with me? What do you want?” Once again, Julianne showed that she was smart. The horror on her face smoothed over quickly.
“I want you to make Irvin divorce me as soon as possible.”
With the right goals, an enemy could also be an ally.

Julianne and Simone both looked at me with widened eyes. They didn’t expect me to say something like that.
After a stunned moment, they came back to their senses and said at the same time, “I think you’ve hit your head too hard, Emilia!”
A moment ago, they thought that I had gotten smarter, but now, they believed that I’d completely lost my mind.
They knew how devoted I was to Irvin before. I was obsessively and irrationally in love with him to the point that I couldn’t imagine living without him. Like everyone else, they assumed that I would never consider divorcing him, let alone ask Julianne for help in the matter.
They’d sooner believe that pig could fly than believe what I’d just said. Me losing my mind was much more believable.
I shrugged. “Yeah, maybe I’ve gone mad. So, deal or no deal?”
If I insisted on getting a divorce, and Julianne pushed Irvin as well for him to divorce me, I was confident that our marriage would be able to end quickly.
I thought that Julianne would agree to this plan without hesitation. After all, this was exactly
what she wanted.
To my surprise, she looked grim instead of ecstatic, and it left me puzzled.
“This shouldn’t be hard for you,” I said. “Irvin loves you. You just need to get pregnant and pressure him to divorce me. Meanwhile, I’ll do what I need to do to initiate the divorce as well. Problem solved.”
Julianne didn’t answer me. Her hands were clenched tightly around her blankets. The dark expression on her face twisted her features into something unrecognizable.
