“Of course, I understand, Heidi. If you had dignity, would you still seduce your benefactor’s husband?”
“If you had any shame, you wouldn’t have caused my right ear to suffer lifelong hearing loss. If you had any shame, you wouldn’t have nearly caused my daughter to die before she was born!”
“Two years ago, I never truly settled things with you. Heaven must have pity, giving me another chance to deal with you!”
Heidi covered her face in shame, tears filling her eyes, not daring to speak.
Ezra’s brows tightened as he grabbed my wrist hard, his tone unhappy.
“That’s enough, Evie! In these two years, she has already suffered enough. You don’t need to keep pushing!”
“If it weren’t for you refusing to let it go when you had the upper hand back then, Heidi wouldn’t have been kicked out of the orchestra and ended up as a street vendor!”
“What happened back then has long been settled.”
Pressing and refusing to let go, those few words gave me a firm belief.
But back then, the one at fault had clearly been Heidi!
Two years ago, when I found out Ezra was cheating, I had returned early from an overseas performance, traveling through three countries just to celebrate his birthday with him, yet I saw him and Heidi kissing at Hamilton Harbour.
At that moment, without thinking, I struck them, even sending Heidi to the hospital, making our divorce known across Kansas.
I thought divorcing would make him turn back, but instead, he sank deeper, even giving me seventy percent of his shares just to remain with Heidi.
That evening, heavy rain poured in Kansas, and he stayed on his knees at the doorway, crying and begging me.
“Evie, I accept divorce, I give half of everything to you, I only ask you not to make trouble for Heidi.”
“Her life is very hard, but she and I truly love each other. These years, the care and time I gave you were already enough.”
But he forgot, during those years I stayed by his side to build his base, my life was also very hard, for him, I turned against my family and gave up everything.
Before the divorce papers were fully signed, both Heidi and I got into a kidnapping danger.
Ezra had many enemies in his past, even kidnapping, which needed another party to act, truly sad.
When she and I were forced to choose between life and death during a live broadcast seen across Kansas, everyone assumed he would choose me.
