After My Secret $5 Million, I Told Mom to Leave Dad

The day I received my five million dollars in royalties, I told my mom she should get a divorce.

"Mom, you've spent all these years in that marriage being treated like dirt. Divorce him. I'll take care of you from now on."

Lauren Lawrence Lambert was quiet for a long time. In the end, she decided to give my father one last chance.

"If your dad can just swap out the detergent this year and give me a bouquet of flowers for Women's Day, I won't make waves. I'll stick it out with him for the rest of my life."

I could tell she still had hope for him.
