Chapter 4

"You…" Mr. Davies stared at me in shock.

"You've hit me, you've cursed me. Isn't it just Julian's company you want? I'm letting you have it, isn't that enough?" I choked out, "Julian betrayed me, and you all conspired with him to keep it from me. Now Julian is 'dead,' and you're ganging up on my daughter and me… Isn't giving up enough?"

I looked at the visibly troubled lawyer. "I will sign the agreement."

Then I turned to the surrounding friends and relatives, and those holding up phones to record. "You all can be my witnesses here. From now on, I have no relationship with the Davies family, and neither does my child. The responsibility of caring for my in-laws will fall to Luna from now on."

Luna's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment when she heard my words, but she dared not speak. My in-laws, on the other hand, watched eagerly as I signed the agreement.

A young onlooker couldn't stand it anymore. "Sarah, why put yourself through this?"

"Yeah, why be so foolish? Isn't this just benefiting someone else?"

"Exactly! Even if not for yourself, at least think of your child."

"Forget it, just look at how those old folks have been treating her!"

My daughter couldn't help but tug my hand, crying, "Mom, can't you stop being so silly? Isn't this just making it easy for them?"

I stroked her forehead. "Honey, we're cutting ties with them. From now on, it's as if we have no grandparents. If you still love Mom, then do this for Mom. Cut them off, and don't get entangled with them anymore!"

Hearing this, my daughter didn't speak but glared angrily at Luna and the Davies.

After signing the agreement, I took my daughter and left. Even though she was extremely unwilling, I practically dragged her away.

Some busybodies had already filmed the scene and uploaded it online. Many netizens expressed outrage on my behalf, and some legal professionals offered to help me fight for my rights.

However, many others were furious at my apparent weakness, calling me a naive pushover, saying I was a saint for enabling the mistress, and destroying my and my daughter's interests. They accused me of not being fit to be a mother. Some even used me as a cautionary tale, making videos about my story to gain views.

Luna and Julian's parents didn't fare much better. They were also cyberbullied by outraged netizens, condemned as shameless people with no morals.

I was aware of the online buzz, and my daughter argued with me about it for a long time.

Facing netizens' mockery, sarcasm, or well-intentioned advice, I decided to respond. I recorded a video explaining that I had decided to move abroad and that everyone should live their own lives in peace.

Of course, this "saintly" approach, as I expected, once again provoked netizens' mockery.

Although my daughter was very reluctant, she eventually compromised and moved abroad with me. As time passed, her initial dissatisfaction with me gradually turned into reconciliation.

With the help of my brother, David, who owned a company overseas, I registered my own company, bought a small apartment, and started a new life. Everything progressed smoothly and methodically; life became relatively easy. Until one day, someone called me, shattering the peace—

"You damn bitch! How dare you pull a stunt like this on me!!!" A familiar voice roared hysterically from the other end of the line, as if he wanted to reach through the phone and strangle me.

Hearing that voice, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Oh, you're not dead, are you? How are you able to call me? What a miracle!"
