Six Years Of Afternoon Tea Bought Me The Truth About My Husband Chapter 08

Andres didn’t come home that night.

Lainey called me multiple times.

I didn’t answer a single one.

Norah sent a very long text on WhatsApp.

She claimed she was a victim, too. Andres had lied to her, saying he had lost all feelings for me long ago and

would divorce me sooner or later.

She admitted the child wasn’t Andres’s, but stated that Andres knew.

He told her that as long as she cooperated, he would give her a house and money.

She said she was terrified right now.

I replied with three words: [You deserved it.]

She texted back again: [Stevie, I can testify for you.]

I laughed.

People are so cold-natured, instantly shifting alliances the moment things turn south.

I didn’t reply.

The next day, chaos erupted at Andres’s company.

The video from the birthday banquet had been posted by a relative into the family group chat, which then spread to the business partners’ group.

Andres loved playing the role of a successful businessman more than anything.

Now, his persona had completely crumbled, and his reputation was entirely ruined.

Business partners called to ask if there were any issues with his capital.

Shareholders questioned whether the embezzlement of funds was true.

Employees gossiped about Norah in the breakroom

Norah resigned that very day.

Andres came home in the afternoon. His eyes were completely bloodshot.

He slammed the divorce agreement onto the table. “Just how far are you planning to push me?”

“Sign it,” I said.

“You can have the house, but the dividends are out of the question.”

“Then go explain things to the shareholders.”

He stared at me for a very long time.

Suddenly, he laughed. “Stevie, you planned this all along, didn’t you?”

“Not really,” I replied, “You left me no choice.”

Andres began to stall.

He first had his mother come over to make a scene. Lainey sat in my living room, slapping her thighs and

wailing. “You’ve utterly ruined my son! You absolute curse of a woman!”

I had Mrs. Bell pour her some coffee.

She smashed the cup. “I’m telling you, don’t even think about taking one cent from my son!”

I placed the hospital report in front of her. “Say one more word, and I’ll print a hundred copies of this report

and post them at the entrance of the park you go to every day.”

Lainey’s wailing stopped instantly.

She prized her reputation above all else.

She pointed at me, her hand shaking. “You are truly ruthless.”

I smiled, replying, “I learned from the best.”

Lainey left, Andres reached out to mutual friends to mediate

A friend invited me out for a meal. Every word out of their mouth was trying to persuade me not to burn all my bridges

“Men make mistakes sometimes

I set my cutlery down “He makes the mistake I pay the price?”

The friend looked embarrassed “Come on, you two have been together for so many years”

“He’s been with me for so many years and still treated me like this, which only proves he’s gotten much more

practiced at his mistakes

I didn’t finish that meal.

I settled the bill on my way out.

That kind of friend wasn’t worth meeting again.
