Chapter 279

"Please don't scare me, Brian!" Rachael began to cry. "I love you! I don't want to divorce you! Even ifit's for Lucy and Larry, you mustn't divorce me!" At that moment, she suddenly realized that Brianwasn't just paying lip service when he told her he wanted to file for a divorce.

While she was frightened by the thought of the worst that could happen, she went through a lot beforeshe successfully won Brian's heart. Because of that, she loved the man so deeply that she started toreject Alex's presence and treated him as an eyesore. At the same time, her love for Brian alsobecame a catalyst for her refusal to accept the fact that her husband was once in love with anotherwoman.

Over time, Rachael's strong possessiveness eventually took over her, making her intolerant of Alex'spresence because that child was Brian's son with his former wife. Therefore, she began looking forways to get rid of Alex so that she could continue fooling herself that Brian was hers and only hers.Brian is mine and only mine! Thinking Brian also felt the same way toward her, Rachael had so muchfaith in their marriage that she grew audacious and abused Alex to drive him away from her family.

However, her worst nightmare happened when Brian seemed serious about the idea of divorcing her.My father is Brian's mentor, as well as the research institute's dean, while I'm Brian's pretty wife, who isyounger than he is. Moreover, I gave birth to two children for him, so how could he divorce me oversomething so trivial? Deep down, Rachael had always thought that Brian would remain by her side andlove her unconditionally as always, no matter what happened.

Therefore, she was devastated upon learning the moment of truth as she scurried toward Brian andpatted his chest tearfully. "Where is your conscience?! I did everything for you because you're the onlyone I've ever loved in this world. I sacrificed so much for you, yet this is how you repay me?! Is your

heart made of stone?!"

"You did everything for me?!" Brian stared at the lady unwaveringly, his eyes turning red. "You lied tome about the money that you were supposed to give my mother and abused Yuri and my son. You callthat a sacrifice?! My mom is in poor health, which makes raising Alex even harder for her. For morethan twenty years, my mother did everything she could to raise me; but when I was finally capable ofmaking a living myself, I was busy with work and making you happy in Dusktown with Larry and Lucy.While I never once did anything to repay my mother, you shamelessly embezzled the money I had youtransfer to her."

The man closed his eyes, his face written with determination. "Rachael, I have made up my mind. I willfile for a divorce because I can no longer stand your hypocritical and wicked heart. In fact, I wouldrather stay a bachelor my whole life than live with a woman like you. So, like it or not, we're getting adivorce!"

"Nonsense! You can't do this to me, Brian! If you ever dare to divorce me, I'll be sure to take my ownlife, as well as Lucy and Larry's. Brian, you're not a human! You don't have a heart at all!"

Soon, Brian stood up and stared at the lady coldly. "If you want to die, go ahead, but leave Lucy andLarry out of it. They are just young kids who have nothing to do with our conflict, so how can you taketheir lives away from them? That's why I call you wicked because you have no qualms threatening totake your children's lives. In fact, you're the most wicked person I've ever seen in my life!"

"If I die, Lucy and Larry are not going to live happily either anyway!" Rachael screamed tearfully. "Withyour demanding work schedules, who is expected to take care of Larry and Lucy if I'm gone? You?How are they going to continue their lives? If there is no one around to look after them, they are better

off dead than alive because that way, they'll be free from suffering at least."

"You're right." Brian mocked Rachael. "Ever since Yuri went missing, Alex lost his mother while hisfather carried on with his life like a living dead. That poor boy had his fair share of suffering when Idecided to leave him to his wicked stepmother. For that, Alex's fate was no different from the one yousaid our children would go through if you're gone. Nevertheless, it's never too late to learn from yourmistake because I'll be happy to keep Larry and Lucy if you don't want them with you. At the sametime, I will not marry another woman again because I'm tired of leaving my kids to a stepmother. Then,I'm going to apply for a job transfer to a new department where I won't have to work on hectic projectsanymore. Meanwhile, I will also hire two more caretakers to look after my children."

"No…" Rachael shook her head tearfully. "Please, Brian. I have realized my mistakes! I will never dothat again. Please forget about the divorce, can we? Larry and Lucy are too young to live without theirfather or mother, plus we used to live like a happy family, so why should we divorce? Why don't weforget about the past and start everything anew? I swear I'll treat Mom and Alex well from now on! Iswear!" Rachael was unwilling to divorce, deeming that the end of her world should that happen. Afterall, she was not young anymore, not to mention the fact that she hadn't been working for years sinceshe married Brain. Therefore, the question of who she was going to live off immediately becameconcerning to her.

If she was a few years younger in age, she could still perhaps hope to replace a reliable man, but now thatshe was already in her thirties, her chances were getting slimmer by the year. Furthermore, herreputation had just been tarnished by Belle after the heated confrontation they had in the researchinstitute because everyone probably had already known her as a wicked stepmother and a daughter-in-law, who had no respect for her mother-in-law.

Although Rachael still didn't think she was in the wrong, she was sure that rumors about her would go

viral and undermine her reputation even further. By then, she would probably lose all her hope ofmeeting another reliable man in her life.

If I divorce Brian, I'm going to be a woman that no man wants to marry. As the dean's daughter and thewife of the youngest deputy dean in the research institute's history, she once had a life that everyonewished to have. Thus, everyone would probably wonder when they saw Rachael struggling to replace hersecond Mr. Right after Brian. Because of that, she knew she mustn't let Brian divorce her so that shecould continue to be the deputy dean's wife whom everyone was envious of. If I let Brian divorce me,it's going to be the end of my life.

"You should have thought of that earlier." Brian looked at the lady with a glacial look. "I've made up mymind to file for a divorce with you. So, I will draft a divorce settlement agreement and have you sign inas soon as possible, but if you won't sign your name on the paper, I'm going to get the court involved.One way or another, we're going to get a divorce!" He then walked up to Belle and said, "Mom, I'll getyou and Alex a new place to stay."

Belle stood up as Brian seized his mother's arm. Deep down, the older lady thought it was a good thingfor Brian to divorce Rachael because she was counting on her son to take care of Alex one day whenshe kicked the bucket. That way, she wouldn't have to worry about Alex being bullied by his wickedstepmother.

Soon, Brian seized Belle's arm and walked out of the house with her just as Laine caught up to them."Brian, marriage is not a game, so please think twice before you make any bad decision. About whathappened to your mother and Alex, I agree that Rachael was indeed in the wrong, and I'll be sure tolecture her for that, but Larry and Lucy are innocent. If you divorce Rachael, they are going to be theones who get hurt the most. They—"

"If I don't divorce Rachael, Alex is the one who gets hurt the most." Brian interrupted the lady and said,"I asked Rachael before I married her if she could treat Alex as her own son, to which she said yes, butin the end, she failed to keep her promise. So, I'm going to exercise my right and divorce her for that!"

"That's your son with another woman, so why should I treat him as my own child?!" Rachael fell apartand eventually spilled out her thoughts in a devastated manner. "I love you, Brian! I love you so muchthat I can't tolerate the child between you and your ex-wife, yet you repay my love by divorcing me?!How can you do this to me?!"
