“Everything in this agreement follows the law precisely,” Rebecca stated calmly, making it clear shel hadn’t taken advantage of Jeffrey. “Given your questionable character, I cannot allow our child to live with you.”

“You haven’t earned any income during our five years of marriage,” Jeffrey said coldly. “Why should I give you half of everything I’ve worked for?”

“I have been the one caring for you and Samuel all this time,” Rebecca responded.

Jeffrey looked at her with icy detachment. “And what does that entitle you to?”

Rebecca stared at him as if she were seeing him for the very first time, stunned by his response.

“If you’re thinking of using marital assets to pay for your mother’s medical treatments, I suggest you abandon that idea right now,” Jeffrey said as he tossed the divorce papers onto the coffee table.

Rebecca’s eyes narrowed as she stared at him. “What do you mean by that?”

“There are no marital assets to divide,” Jeffrey explained coldly. “If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to file for divorce and let the courts investigate.”

Rebecca stood frozen for a moment before the full realization dawned on her.

During the period between when she first noticed something was wrong and his eventual confession, he had systematically transferred all their marital assets.

Now she understood why the lipstick stain on his collar had been so conspicuously placed, and how those compromising photos with Andrea had ended up in the media despite his usual obsession with

privacy.

It all made sense now. He had been waiting for her to discover his infidelity so he could propose maintaining their marriage while continuing his affair openly.

Rebecca stared at Jeffrey, overwhelmed by the sheer ruthlessness of his actions.

“Save your explanations,” Rebecca said coldly, knowing Jeffrey had covered his tracks too well for anything to be proven. “Just sign the documents. All I want is custody of our son.”

Jeffrey signed without hesitation. His elegant handwriting mirrored his polished appearance, but now it only made her feel physically ill.

The next morning, they went together to file the divorce papers. Throughout the entire process, he showed no remorse and made no attempt to reconcile, maintaining the same detached composure he always displayed.

As she signed the papers, Rebecca couldn’t help but glance over at him. She found herself wondering how he’d managed to treat her so well for so many years without actually loving her. It made her question what their entire relationship had really been about.
