Chapter 4

Numbers-wise, we were at a disadvantage.

But the other side only had Ant as a male, so we gained the upper hand.

All those years of pent-up frustration, I released through my fists and feet on Green.

I found the chance to slap the domineering Bella several times.

Finally, my dad and I teamed up to take down Ant and used my size 11 shoe to greet his face.

I proved to Bella through action that I dared not only to hit Green, but her too.

Whether it was dirty or not didn't matter anymore. It felt great.

Though feeling great came at a cost—the police took us all in. This kind of family conflict was hard to assign responsibility for.

In the end, everyone got a verbal warning.

This negotiation ended in physical combat.

Clearly, an uncontested divorce was off the table now. Time to sue.

Half a month later, the court arranged the first mediation.

That day, all of Green's relatives who could come showed up, clearly planning to get revenge through force.

At the mediation, Green's relatives looked menacing.

Seeing this, my dad called my family's relatives. I figured once mediation ended, another battle was inevitable.

The mediator looked stern. "I know you're all emotional, but today we're here to resolve your conflicts."

"Davis, Green doesn't agree to your divorce request, and she's very upset about your accusation of her infidelity."

"If you have no evidence, she has the right to hold you accountable."

I looked at Green. "Since you won't take the easy way out, today I'll let all your relatives see your true face."

"Green, listen carefully. Before Schumacher's wedding half a month ago, I installed cameras at home. Do you think I have evidence of your affair?"

I looked at the mediator. "I have a video that can prove Green's infidelity."

Green's face went pale. "I agree to divorce. I agree to leave with nothing."

Too late. For people who don't appreciate kindness, they must learn pain.

I told the mediator, "I request to play this video publicly to prove I didn't slander Green."

"No, you can't!" Green panicked.

"You heard her—Green says you can't." Bella joined in.

"Green said you can't." Lavinia also shouted.

Green's whole family panicked.

I watched silently. The expressions on Bella and the others' faces made me realize they'd known about Green's affair all along.

"This is evidence proving my innocence." I stood up. "It's also key evidence for the divorce and asset division."

The mediator didn't indulge Green and her family.

The video was played on the spot.

The day I went to Schumacher's wedding, Green confirmed I wasn't home.

She brought her lover back to the house. The camera clearly recorded everything, including their conversation.

"It's more exciting at your place."

"Baby, I want something even more exciting. One day you should slip him some sleeping pills."

Hearing this dialogue, my dad immediately cursed.

The scene erupted into chaos.

"You violated my privacy rights! I'll sue you!" Green shouted at the top of her lungs.

The mediation couldn't continue. Both sides left.

Outside, Green pointed at me. "He violated my privacy and just insulted me. Beat him up!"

Her relatives' faces couldn't have looked worse.

"What a disgrace! We thought Green was really wronged."

"Turns out she's shameless! She's completely humiliated us, and now she wants us to beat Davis? You must be joking."
