Chapter 9
Chapter 9
After slapping me, Max lost his fighting spirit.
He approved my resignation.
I found a time when he wasn't at the company to go pack up my things.
Before leaving, I opened the door to Max's office and took the wedding photo frame from his desk drawer.
When first decorating the office, he had specially placed our wedding photo frame on the desk.
Later when Chloe came, Max gradually changed the office decor to Chloe's preferred style.
The photo frame was put away, replaced by cartoon figurines Chloe liked.
I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office for the last time.
Below was the bustling traffic.
When we first came to the city, Max and I stood across the street, looking up at the financial building before us.
I had confidently envisioned:
"Someday, we'll have our own office in this building!"
He gripped my hand tightly:
"Karla, believe me, I'll definitely make it happen. I won't let you down."
Now he had achieved it, yet still ended up disappointing me.
Walking out of the building, Chloe unexpectedly appeared before me.
I remembered Max saying Chloe had been fired.
I noticed her previously visible pregnant belly was gone.
She seemed to be deliberately waiting here. Seeing me, she was full of jealousy:
"You slut, I knew you couldn't let go of Max. You're back to seduce him again!"
"Do you know what he said about you that night? He said you're almost thirty, your skin is far less firm than mine. He said being with me made him feel like he was young again."
She raised her head proudly, as if wanting to see anger on my face.
But I just smiled faintly and looked at Max not far behind her:
"It seems the young lady believes your words without doubt. For you, she even aborted a baby of several months."
"If you were any kind of man, you'd take responsibility for her."
Max walked over, his face ashen as he glared at Chloe:
"Didn't I tell you to take the money and leave?"
"Get lost now!"
Tears welled up in Chloe's eyes:
"Max, is this bitch threatening you?"
"I don't believe you have no feelings for me at all! That night when I asked who you liked better, me or Karla, you clearly said you liked me more!"
I watched from the side, unable to help laughing when I heard this:
"You dare believe what a cheating man says?"
Chloe glared at me angrily:
"Stop trying to drive us apart!"
"You think deliberately bringing up divorce will win Max back? You can't even have children! Max will break up with you sooner or later!"
Max was nearly driven mad with anger. He slapped Chloe hard and ordered her to shut up.
He said to me:
"Karla, I don't need children, I only need you."
I was momentarily speechless.
When it came to not understanding human language, Chloe and Max made quite the pair.
Having been slapped in front of me, Chloe completely lost face. Her eyes red, she opened her phone:
"Max, I recorded everything from that night!"
"I'm sending it to that bitch Karla right now!"
Max rushed over to grab her phone.
In the chaos, a secretly recorded video was sent to the company group chat.
I opened the video.
Chloe's coy, seductive voice came through the phone.
The two people in front of me who were in the video instantly turned pale.
Chloe let out a miserable cry and hurriedly tried to recall the video.
But it was too late.
After getting home, I forwarded the saved video to my lawyer with a message:
