She Cheated, Then Tried to Destroy Me

Two years ago, I ended a failed marriage.

It all stemmed from that impulsive cross-country surprise.

I had planned to surprise my wife, Evelyn Hayes, who was living abroad, only to find her cohabiting with my best friend.

My heart turned to ice, and I didn't hesitate to file for divorce.

Later, I accepted an arranged marriage from my family, and life slowly got back on track.

This day, I had just come out of a department store, carrying lingerie I'd bought for my fiance.

A familiar figure suddenly rushed overit was Evelyn, who had just returned from abroad.

She snatched the bag from my hand and immediately launched into a tirade: "Larry Bayer, how dare you find someone else?"

I sneered, "We're divorced. You have no right to meddle in my relationships."

Evelyn grabbed my wrist.

"I never signed any papers with you, so how can we be divorced? You're still my husband."

Standing next to her, Gary Davies indignantly said, "Evelyn, you worried about him suffering while you were abroad, and he's been with another woman behind your back."

Then he looked at me, "Larry, Evelyn loves you so much, how could you do something like this?"

I cursed without mercy, "Shut up, you shameless homewrecker!"

Evelyn slapped me across the face.

"You bastard, cheating while I was away and then having the nerve to curse Gary?"

Blood instantly welled up at the corner of my lip. "Evelyn, what is wrong with you? Two years ago, I filed for a forced divorce, and the divorce certificate was given to your parents."

Evelyn didn't believe me. "Don't lie to me, I never received a divorce certificate."

Her gaze at me was as if she wanted to tear me apart.

"Whose slutty underwear is this?"

I looked at her coldly, "It's none of your business whose it is."

Two years ago, I flew abroad to find Evelyn, only to unexpectedly discover her living with Gary Davies.

I was deeply disappointed. I took the evidence of Evelyn's infidelity to a lawyer and filed for a forced divorce.

Later, I accepted an arranged match from my family, Kate Franco.

After marrying her, I've been very happy.

Last night, she said her lingerie was a bit small, so I came to the mall to buy her some new sets, never expecting to run into Evelyn.

I didn't want to get further entangled with them. I was about to leave, but Evelyn blocked me. I frowned and said, "Evelyn, we have no connection whatsoever. If you keep this up, I'm calling the police."

Gary said, "Evelyn, he's just trying to scare you. If he really called the police, everyone would know he cheated. He might not care about losing face, but his parents certainly would."

"I think he wants to have multiple wives and use your money to support other women."

That last remark completely ignited Evelyn's fury. She kicked me in the abdomen.

"You cheat, and you still want to use my money to support your mistress!"

Evelyn had trained in kickboxing and taekwondo. I doubled over, too much in pain to speak.

She dragged me to a nearby alley like a madwoman.

I struggled desperately but was no match for her strength. Unable to bear it any longer, I pulled out my phone to call the police.

Unexpectedly, Evelyn snatched my phone and smashed it on the ground.

Seeing my shattered phone, my heart sank.

Gary looked at me, a flicker of triumph in his eyes.

"Evelyn, if people in our circle found out you were cheated on, they'd definitely laugh at you."

I turned to run, but just as I took a step, Evelyn grabbed me by the nape of the neck.

She slammed my head against the wall.

My head was cut open and bleeding.

Evelyn cursed, "How long have I been gone, and you can't stand the loneliness? Tell me, who is that slut?"

I lay on the ground, my pale face mixed with blood, a shocking sight.

"I forbid you from calling Kate a slut."

Evelyn paused, then lifted her foot and stepped on me.

"You're terrible at making up excuses when you lie to me."

"Who in all of Ashton doesn't know Kate Franco is in a vegetative state, still lying in the hospital?"

2.

Kate Franco was the wealthiest and most influential heiress in Ashton. Five years ago, due to a car accident, she became a vegetable.

But after Evelyn and I divorced, she woke up.

My parents always liked her and encouraged us to get together.

However, the internal affairs of the Franco family were complicated, so for safety reasons, Kate's awakening had not been publicly announced.

I shook my head, "I'm not lying to you, my wife is Kate Franco. We're married, legally husband and wife."

"If you call her now, you'll know I'm not lying."

Evelyn glared at me.

"Call her? Don't think I don't know you're trying to find someone to impersonate Kate to fool me!"

I urgently said, "No, I swear, what I'm saying is true."

Gary handed his phone to Evelyn.

"I checked, Kate Franco hasn't woken up yet. Besides, with her status, if she were married, there's no way there wouldn't be any news online."

"Larry, if you're going to lie to us, at least pick someone else."

The news of Kate's awakening couldn't be revealed yet, so we had to keep our marriage private. The rumors about her online were still five years old, so of course, they wouldn't find anything.

My heart was burning with anxiety.

I suddenly remembered I had our marriage certificate in my bag, quickly pulled it out, and handed it to Evelyn.

"This is our marriage certificate."

Evelyn fell silent immediately upon seeing my and Kate's marriage certificate.

I breathed a sigh of relief, "Now you believe me, can you let me go?"

"Wait."

Gary glanced at my marriage certificate.

"This marriage certificate is fake, Evelyn, don't let him trick you."

Evelyn reacted, kicking me several times.

"You bastard, to make it easier to cheat, you even forged a marriage certificate? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Saying this, she tore my marriage certificate to shreds.

I hadn't expected Evelyn to be so foolish, believing everything Gary said.

Just then, someone passed by, and I cried out for help, shouting:

"Please, help me!"

One of the women stopped and looked at me, probably feeling pity and wanting to help.

Like a drowning man grasping at a straw, I pleaded with her: "I'm injured, please send me to the hospital."

The woman was about to reach out to help me when Evelyn pushed her away. She pointed at my face and said, "He's my husband, he cheated while I was away, I'm teaching him a lesson, don't interfere."

I shook my head, denying it, "I'm not her husband! I'm not!"

Evelyn pulled out our old wedding photos and showed them to the people present.

"These are our wedding photos, he is my husband, the real deal."

I explained, "It's not like that. Two years ago, I found out she cheated, so I divorced her."

The woman who had wanted to help me asked, "You say you're divorced, do you have proof?"

I looked at my shattered phone on the ground, my heart completely cold.

Even if I had proof, there was no way to show it to her now.

"My phone's broken. Please help me call my wife, she can prove what I'm saying. Her number is"

"Don't believe him, he's trying to call for backup to save him." Evelyn interrupted me.

At this, the onlookers gave me disgusted looks.

"No wonder he got beaten so badly, turns out he was caught cheating by his wife. Serves him right."

"They should really teach men who can't control their lower halves a lesson. See if he dares to cheat again!"

"This guy looks quite decent, but I never expected him to be such a playboy."

Gary scoffed, "Those who look decent on the outside are usually no good on the inside. They get restless if they don't find a woman for a day."

"He usually likes to mess around with different women."

I wanted to rush up and hit Gary, but I couldn't muster any strength.

"Gary Davies, you were clearly the homewrecker, interfering in my marriage with Evelyn, which is why I divorced her."

Gary looked at me with an aggrieved expression, "Larry, don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation. Evelyn and I are just friends."

A flicker of guilt crossed Evelyn's eyes, and she raised her voice, "You shameless jerk, you cheated on me and now you're trying to slander Gary and me."

They played off each other, painting me as a philandering scumbag.

Evelyn found a wooden stick from somewhere, her tone vicious.

"You like playing with women so much, I'll just cripple you!"

I gasped, my eyes wide with terror, "Evelyn, have you lost your mind?"

Evelyn glared at me fiercely, "You dared to cheat on me, you should have expected the consequences!"

"We've been divorced for ages, there's no such thing as cheating!"

"Still trying to argue!"

Seeing Evelyn so deranged, I was terrified. I desperately tried to crawl forward, but the next second, Evelyn and Gary dragged me back.

"Don't run!"

I never expected her to be this crazy. I desperately grabbed the wooden stick with both hands, trying to stop her.

"Evelyn, if you let me go now, I promise I won't hold what you did against you."

Evelyn sneered.

"It's only right that I hit you for cheating. Later, I'm going to go find your parents and ask them how they could have raised a son like you!"

Evelyn continued speaking while telling Gary to hold me down.

She savagely beat me with the wooden stick.

I was drenched in cold sweat from the pain, trembling uncontrollably.

"Evelyn, stop hitting me."

Gary stoked the flames from the side, "Evelyn worked hard abroad, hoping to reunite with you soon, and you betrayed her!"

Gary's words enraged Evelyn even further. She hit me with even more fervor, as if trying to beat me to death!

I curled up on the ground, powerless to resist, gritting my teeth, "Evelyn, stop hitting me, or you'll regret it."

Kate loved me very much. If she found out I was beaten like this, Evelyn would surely be dead meat.

Evelyn even told Gary to record a video next to us, to send to my parents later.

Gary excitedly said, "I'll post it online, let everyone see what this scumbag looks like."

Evelyn raised the stick, aimed it at my lower body, and brought it down hard.

"Ah!" I cried out in agony, feeling something snap.

"Evelyn Hayes, Gary Davies, I will make you pay for this."

I never hated Evelyn even when I discovered her infidelity, but at this moment, I truly hated her.

I wished I could kill them!

Gary recorded the video, pointing at me.

"Evelyn, look, he's still being stubborn, clearly doesn't know he's wrong yet."

Evelyn swung the stick at my head.

"Larry, do you know you're wrong?"

I was dizzy from the beating.

Evelyn looked at me, covered in blood, and suddenly panicked.

"Gary, he's bleeding so much, what if he dies?"

Gary chuckled.

"What's there to be afraid of? He's your husband. If anything happens, it's just considered domestic violence, no big deal."

"His parents wouldn't dare do anything even if they knew, after all, Larry wronged you first. Maybe they'd even support you in disciplining their son."

Hearing Gary say this, Evelyn suddenly felt emboldened.

"That's right, his parents should thank me."

I was barely clinging to life, gritting my teeth and forcing out, "Evelyn Hayes, you'll die a miserable death!"

Gary said, "Evelyn, look, he still hasn't realized his mistake. He might even cheat again in the future."

Evelyn nodded.

"He won't shed tears until he sees the coffin. Let's strip him naked and parade him through the streets to teach him a lesson!"

"I refuse to believe I can't handle him!"

With that, she and Gary furiously started stripping off my clothes.

I trembled with rage.

"Evelyn Hayes, Gary Davies, you two beasts will get your comeuppance!"

I desperately clung to my clothes, not letting them succeed.

But my jacket was still torn off, and the clothes underneath were also ripped.

I had never felt such humiliation in my life.

If I had a knife in my hand right now, I would have stabbed them without hesitation.

My eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and finally, I passed out

When I woke up, all I saw was white. I turned to the nurse and nervously asked, "How is my body?"

"Your injuries are very severe. You likely won't be able to have children in the future."

I closed my eyes and cried.

Although I had already guessed, hearing it confirmed was still incredibly painful.

The nurse looked at my distress and sighed.

"I heard it was because your wife caught you cheating, and she beat you like this. If you had just lived a chaste life, none of this would have happened."

I emphasized, "She's not my wife!"

The nurse shook her head, "Don't lie. Your wife posted your video online. Now the whole internet knows you cheated and got beaten."

Saying this, she handed me her phone.

It turned out that after I passed out, someone who couldn't stand it any longer rushed me to the hospital.

At the same time, the video of me being beaten was circulating widely online, and many netizens were cursing me.

Before I could clarify anything, I heard a commotion outside the hospital room. Enduring the pain, I got out of bed.

The nurse anxiously said, "You just had surgery, you shouldn't move around."

I ignored her, opened the door, and saw Evelyn holding up her phone, livestreaming.

"Sisters, thank you for your support. Like and follow me."

"When the livestream reaches a hundred thousand viewers, I'll go into the room and continue beating that scumbag."

A crowd of curious patients and their families also gathered, pointing and whispering about me.

I clenched my fists, picked up a glass water cup, and hurled it at Evelyn.

Gary's sharp eyes spotted me.

"Evelyn, look out!"

Warned by Gary, Evelyn dodged, and the water cup missed her.

"You bastard, how dare you throw something at me?"

Gary glanced at me.

"Evelyn, the lesson we gave him was too light; that's why he's so reckless."

Looking at their malicious faces, and thinking of my body, my anger surged wildly in my chest.

Evelyn handed her phone to Gary to continue livestreaming, then she strode menacingly towards me, saying to the camera: "Sisters, don't go easy on cheating men, and never forgive them."

She raised her hand, just about to hit me, when a cold voice cut through the air.

"Who dares to touch my husband!"

From the crowd, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared.

Kate Franco rushed to my side.

"Larry."

Seeing Kate, my nose tingled, my accumulated grievances magnified infinitely, and tears streamed down my face.

Seeing me so distraught, Kate's heart ached. She reached out and embraced me, comforting me:

"I know everything, don't cry."

She had been worried when she couldn't reach me, and then seeing my video online, she immediately rushed to the hospital to find me.

Evelyn hadn't seen Kate before, didn't recognize her face.

"Oh, good. I was just about to look for you, you mistress. I didn't expect you to come to me."

Kate's sharp gaze swept over Evelyn, and she angrily retorted, "Are you tired of living?"

"You bitch, you stole my husband and you're still so arrogant. I'll kill you!"

Evelyn swung her fist at Kate, but before she could even touch Kate's clothing, she was pushed away.

Kate's eyes were as cold and sharp as ice.

"Evelyn Hayes, who gave you the nerve to lay a hand on my husband?"

Everyone believed Kate Franco to be gentle and virtuous, but only I knew that as warm as she appeared on the surface, she was just as ruthless deep down.

Evelyn fell to the ground, quickly got up on her arms, and said to the phone camera, "Look, everyone, this slut is my husband's mistress!"
