I watched them–two people who together barely reached eighty–hugging each other, and I couldn’t help but gag.
Lena beamed with smug pride.

money to me.”
Seeing my calm expression, Lena grew irritated.
“Aren’t you even curious?”
“I already knew all of this. Say something interesting,” I said, distracted, admiring my freshly done nails, not even sparing them a

glance.
“The last stroke was fake too, we just tricked you into believing it. And the best part? You took on all the debt without taking anything, thanks so much for that.”
I immediately knew that Nick Herty had lied to Lena about the truth.
“Who told you I took on all the debt? The house is mine, I gave you the son, and I
took of the assets. I didn’t take a single
penny of your debts. Didn’t Nick Herty tell you that?”
Lena’s smile froze, and seeing my indifferent demeanor–so calm it couldn’t possibly be a lie–she immediately turned on Nick Herty.
Nick Herty shot me a glare but dared not respond directly.

I peeled off my worn–out clothes to reveal the new high–fashion outfit beneath.
“I’ve had enough of living with Nick Herty. Since you like him so much, take him. I’m done.”
Nick Herty stared at me, completely baffled by my appearance. I looked nothing like someone

you supposed to owe ten million Outside? How do you still have money to dress like this?”
“Oh, that was just to fool you. If you could deceive me, why couldn’t I deceive you? The debt is fake, the creditors are fake, and I’ve already sold the house to them. Turns out, the house my parents left me is worth a lot- almost five million.””

“What? You slut! How dare you trick me!” Nick Herty roared, furious, raising his fist to strike me.
Just as his fist was about to land on my face, someone stepped in and stopped him.
“So, Nick Herty, right? You don’t pay you debts and you hit women?”

even brought people to deceive me, huh? These guys are fake, right?” Nick Herty slapped the leader across the face.
The man stumbled back, stunned by the blow, before landing a punch that knocked Nick Herty to the ground.

“Brothers, take him down!” the leader shouted.
“Damned woman, tell them to stop! I’ll call the police!” Nick Herty screamed, clutching his head in panic, while Lena sat frozen in fear on the ground.
I crossed my arms and watched coldly.
“They’re not the ones I brought here. Aren’t you the one who owes the money?” I asked with a scornful smile.
Nick Herty finally seemed to realize the truth -he had borrowed money.
“I have money, I have money! Lena, transfer the money to them! Stop, stop!” Nick Herty begged, his voice cracking.
Lena shakily opened her phone. When Nick

Herty saw the balance, his face crumpled.
“I had four million, didn’t I? How the hell is there only a hundred left?”
“Didn’t you say I’d help you fake it, and you’d give me half? I just spent my share early, what’s wrong with that?” Lena replied, her voice dripping with defensiveness.
Under Nick Herty’s relentless questioning, she finally admitted that she had spent all the money on luxury goods and spa
treatments.
“You can only blame yourself! You didn’t trust your own wife, but trusted others. What did you
think? You left your money with me, so why can’t I spend it?” she retorted, her anger flaring.
The two of them were at each other’s throats

when the big man intervened.
“So, what you’re saying is, you have no money left to pay?” he asked coldly.
“Beat him!“.
After the divorce, their creditors came knocking.
Nick Herty was left with no choice but to pay, but
Lena had already spent so much that what remained wasn’t nearly enough to cover their debts.
Before long, Nick Herty and his family were cornered with nowhere to turn.
I knew all this because I had given their creditors a sum of money, instructing them to “take good care” of Nick Herty and his family.

One day, Nick Herty came to me, kneeling, begging for my forgiveness.
