Chapter 17 The Final Blow
I looked at Chen Yuxuan, my voice gentle.
"Husband."
The word made his whole body stiffen.
Hope lit up in his eyes again.
But my next words froze him where he stood.
"It turns out you really have some talent for investing."
My tone was full of praise.
"You hid it from me and went all in on those gold futures. The market has been surprisingly good lately."
I tilted my head slightly.
I watched the hope on his face crack inch by inch and turn into panic.
"This morning when the market opened I saw the money in the account had already tripled..."
I paused on purpose before announcing slowly.
"So I took the liberty of selling everything. After all, better to secure the gains, right?"
For years of marriage Chen Yuxuan had been scheming against me.
He cried poor in front of me, said he was under pressure, said he didn't dare have children.
Even a nice meal outside hurt him.
We split every daily expense.
Yet he had been secretly moving assets behind my back.
"Oh, right."
My smile grew sweeter.
"The account you used still has the password from our first date. You really are good to me."
"No! You bitch! You can't do this to me!"
Chen Yuxuan's eyes turned red. He slammed into the door with all his strength.
I stayed calm.
Because at the end of the corridor came the sound of hurried footsteps.
