Chapter 5 Lilian Comes

• Lilian was in my home, pointing her finger at my parents. “Your daughter’s a cheating whore! She went away with another man right after she married my son!”
• My mother was explaining on my behalf. “This must be a misunderstanding, Lilian. My daughter isn’t that kind of person.”
• Being the shrew she was, Lilian lifted my father’s orchid and smashed it on the ground. “Misunderstanding my foot! Your daughter invited her lover over, and there’s two of them!”
• My mother started trembling, and my father hugged her. “Nonsense. My daughter is the sweetest girl in the world. She’d never ever cheat.”
• Lilian sneered. “As if. She’s the sluttiest woman I’ve ever seen.”
• Upon hearing those words, my mother fainted, and my father massaged her meridian to try and wake her up. I fished out my phone and called 911 immediately. At the same time, Ben came over in a hurry. When he saw what had happened, he quickly went to his mother. “Why are you here, Mom?”
• Lilian got up and gnashed her teeth. “Ben, your wife cheated on you because they failed as her parents. I’m here to ask them to take responsibility for this.”
• The more I looked at Ben, the more disgusted I was, and I wondered how I ever fell for him. A moment later, I shoved him away. “Get out! Get! Out! I don’t want to see you ever again, you b*stard!”
• Lilian shoved me back. “You slut! You cheated on my son, and now you’re yelling at him?! F*ck off!”
• That was the last straw. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I went to the kitchen and came back out with a knife in my hand. Lilian knew I might hurt her, so she scurried off with her son. As she was escaping, she shouted, “Just you wait, you b*stards! I’m going to the hospital right now for all this headache you’re giving me, and you’re gonna pay for my expenses, you animals!”
• I couldn’t care less for a wench like her as long as she was out of my house, for all I cared about then was my mother. Eventually, an ambulance came and took my mother to the hospital, though our neighbors were already gossiping about us. Luckily she was fine, or I would never forgive myself.
• I went to a law firm the next day to consult a lawyer about my situation, then with their help, we finally came up with a divorce agreement. I called Ben and asked him to sign the papers. He was still trying to salvage the relationship, but since I wouldn’t budge, he gave in. However, he wanted me to sign the papers at his place, and he wanted me to clear my stuff out.
• Well, since the relationship had broken down and my parents had found out about it, I came to his house alone, as I knew they wouldn’t do anything to me. They didn’t have the guts to.
• Lilian was on the sofa with a wet towel on her head, and she was moaning weakly. I held on to the taser in my pocket in case anything were to happen, then I took out the divorce agreement. “Let’s not waste any time, Ben. Sign this and give me back my stuff and the dowry, then we’ll go our separate ways.”
• When Lilian found out I was going to take the dowry back, she jumped off the sofa. “You want to take the dowry back? Dream on!”
• That was it. I had it with her. “Have you gone nuts? That’s not even your money in the first place. It’s a gift from my family’s friends and relatives, so of course I’m taking it back.”
• Ben took his mother’s side, obviously. “You cheated on me, remember? I’m not giving you the money back. It’s compensation for your cheating.”
