Chapter 7

Leonard had never let anyone touch his phone so casually, but this was the second time it had happened. When the police called him, it was Lily who answered, and it was the same when I called. "I'm hanging up if you don't have anything important. We're busy." Lily emphasized the word "we" on purpose to make sure I knew they were together.

"Tell him to call me back after he's done with his shower." The pain made my voice tremble, and my trembling voice seemed to make her happy.

Lily's tone became unusually cheerful. "He'll still be busy after his shower. He's not free to call you. If you have anything to say, just tell me. It would be the same anyway."

I smiled wryly. She really thought too highly of herself, but I could not be bothered to talk nonsense with her.

"Lily, the expenses of your trip to Sheffold are considered our joint marital property as well. Your intimate photos with him are evidence of adultery. Are you going to pay that money back to me if I take legal action?" Seeming to have been triggered, Lily's voice rose. "Eva, you're being too much! You old, ugly woman! Did you really think Leonard still loves you? Dream on.

"All you talk about is money, you selfish gold-digger. Leonard regrets marrying you so much.

"Don't even think about getting money from him. Even if you are poor, starve, or die of illness, he won't look at you again!"

With that, Lily hung up coldly.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

Staring at the dark screen, I let out a long sigh. Maybe I did not really want to live that badly after all. If not, I should have begged her harder, right?
