"Jack,do you really have to be so heartless?Our family just asked you for some money,right?"
"Can't you let us go,let Tom go,for the sake of our past relationship?"
Hearing Emily's words,I no longer held back any feelings.Until now,they still didn't think they had made a big mistake.
"Me being heartless?Who was the one who was heartless first?I originally wanted to part ways amicably and live our own lives."
"What did your family do?They set me up.If I hadn't happened to discover the loophole,I would have been in their grasp for the rest of my life."
"Just asked for some money?Do you think 5 million is a small amount?I'll tell you,5 million is enough to sentence Tom to several years in prison!"
"You still remember our past relationship.Let me ask you,when did you ever stand by me?"
"When your brother asked for a car,you sided with your brother.When your brother asked for money,you used our marriage as a threat to force me to give money.In the end,you even came to set me up with them."
"Did you think about our past feelings when you did those things?"
I poured out all the words that had been pent up in my heart.Emily was immediately silenced by my questions.
"Arguing with me about this now is useless.You'd better worry about whether Tom will implicate you all."
"If he does,your whole family can be reunited."
After saying that,I left directly.
After I left that day,Emily came to me.Her words were full of humility as she hoped to get back together with me.
Perhaps she realized that I was the most suitable person to marry in her social circle.
But I would never let the same person pluck me twice.
A week after that day.
Tom's girlfriend,no,his ex-girlfriend's father came to me.
After confirming that I met all the conditions of his family and could take responsibility,he settled the matter.
My fiancée,Sarah,although not as good-looking as Emily in terms of appearance,was very cute upon closer inspection.
Especially because she had been staying at home all year round,her skin was so white that it could be considered the pinnacle of cold-toned skin.
My parents,although they thought that marriage should be based on love,were finally persuaded by my argument of having a grandson and agreed to the marriage.
I married Sarah three months after that day.
After getting married,I found that I had truly found a treasure.
Although Sarah didn't like going out,she didn't just waste her days at home.
She volunteered to take on all the housework,and the house was spotless every day.
Moreover,Sarah's cooking skills were excellent.From a certain drink in a milk tea shop to the main dishes in a restaurant,she could basically replicate them perfectly.
When I was busy with work,she never disturbed me.She would only quietly prepare supper for me.
Although she still didn't like going out until now,our relationship had become very close,and now she was even pregnant with our"little Jack".
Sometimes I even think of thanking Tom.If it weren't for his family,I wouldn't have met Sarah,such a wonderful wife.Maybe by now,my company would have been drained by his family.
Not long after that,because of sufficient evidence and Lily's testimony,Tom was sentenced to five years in prison for serious extortion.
The 1.2 million he extorted from me not only had to be fully returned,but he also had to pay an additional 200,000 dollars in compensation for my mental distress and other expenses.
My former mother-in-law was also sentenced to three years in prison because she was implicated by Tom.
A family was thus torn apart,but to this day,I still don't think I went too far.
Everyone has their own choices.Once a choice is made,one has to pay the corresponding price.
It's quite sad that not long ago,because of business entertainment,I went to"Mu Ge"KTV with a client.
Because the client wanted some company,I helped him hire some escorts.
Emily,the former school beauty,was among them.
After singing that day,the client took away the escort he liked.
And I gave Emily a 200-dollars tip.
In the past,she could get much more than this just by casually coquettish with me,but now this 200-dollars tip depended on my mood and attitude.
I also thought about it.If she had firmly stood by me and spoken for me at that time,would everything be different now?
Later,I thought about it.Perhaps she really pursued me for money from the very beginning,which doomed the current situation.
Well,it's time for me to coax my wife to sleep.
