SWNOVELS Chapter 437 How about I Do You A Big Favor
When Greenwood saw the result of the paternity test, he was so irritated that he felt like his blood was boiling. The daughter he had spoiled for seven years wasn't his biological daughter.
In Greenwood's eyes, although he had an affair with another woman, he had always treated Amber and his daughter very well. Maybe because he felt a little guilty that he gave his daughter everything she wanted. He didn't know that he had been bringing up someone else's daughter. Who was the father? Was it the principal? Greenwood wasn't sure about who the father was. Anyway, he was sure that the child wasn't his daughter.
"Read the report of the paternity test yourself! My daughter? How dare you lie to me! Tell me, who is her real father? Is it him?" Greenwood said as he pointed to the principal. He then violently threw the report of the paternity test toward Amber's face. The edges of the papers flew across Amber's face, giving her paper cuts on her cheeks.
Ignoring the pain on her face, Amber picked up the papers from the ground with her trembling hands. She quickly glanced over the report. She realized that she couldn't keep it a secret from her husband anymore.
Amber was so embarrassed that she really hoped the ground could swallow her up and make her disappear at that very second. She knew that she would become the laughingstock of the whole school very soon because there were a lot of students and teachers curiously observing them from outside the office.
She had no words to defend herself as the proof was solidly documented on paper.
Amber took a deep breath and managed to compose herself. She said, "Greenwood, the whole story isn't like what you think it is. Don't make a fuss here. Go home now, and I will give you an explanation later. But if you want to divorce me, then it's okay." "Divorce? Okay, since that is what you want, let's have a divorce. But you had an affair with another man, and your daughter is not mine, so you are the one responsible for the failure of our marriage. I demand you to give up all our marital properties upon the divorce settlement."
"Give up all our marital properties? No way!"
Amber wouldn't agree with his idea. If she gave up all the joint assets, she would lose her current car and house, and she would have to pay for the loan of a new house and a new car all on her own. Moreover, she had to bring up the child herself. As a woman, how could she live her life without those properties? Amber would also probably lose her job after what happened today.
She strongly protested, "No way. I won't agree to that. Greenwood, we had a very stable relationship in the past seven years. Please, don't do this. Although the child is not your daughter, you love her, right? I have paid a large amount of money for the house, and the loan isn't finished yet. Let us divide the property equally."
Witnessing the farce, Linda sneered. She wondered if she should do Amber a favor at this moment. Linda despised Greenwood, too. He also had an affair with another woman himself, but he was accusing Amber in such an unreasonable and humiliating way. This couple was indeed a perfect match to each other. They were the same sort of people.
Linda looked at the distressed look on Greenwood's face. If she hadn't known about his affair with Lilian, Linda would've believed that Greenwood's heart was indeed broken by Amber's disloyalty. He was such a two-faced man.
Their quarrel had lasted for quite a while, by the door of the principal's office, but Greenwood still wasn't willing to leave.
In the end, the principal had no choice but to ask the security guards to drag him away. There were a lot of people enjoying the farce there. After Greenwood had been driven away, the onlookers also started to drift away. Linda went back to her office with Anna.
"My Lady, what do you think about it? Amber's husband had already known about Amber's affair with the principal. Would we just let her husband off so easily? I think her husband is also a very bad man. Did you see his look just now? He also has an affair with Lilian. I don't know how could he accuse his wife like that as if he had such a clear conscience?"
Anna clenched her teeth as she said angrily.
"I won't let Amber off, nor will I let her husband off. He is not a good guy. So... I am going to offer Amber some help, of course under Lisa's name..." said Linda.
Linda grinned and continued, "Anna, let's look for a chance to have Amber come to us. Let's do her a favor..."
Amber thought that the Linda in the school was the fake one. She thought that Linda was Lisa, so she was unguarded toward Linda. Taking advantage of it, Linda could help Amber and make Amber feel grateful to her. Then, Linda would give her a final attack and make her lose everything.
The farce in the morning had ended, and Amber didn't give lessons to the students in the afternoon, especially since the whole school was discussing about her affair.
Together with Anna, Linda went to Amber's office. Amber was sitting in her chair, annoyed, and browsing the news on the online forum of the school website. There were a lot of discussions about what happened in the morning. She didn't dare write any comments to justify herself. She was so anxious and furious that she wasn't even able to eat her lunch.
Her affair was exposed to everyone. She felt so disgraced. Amber had always worried about the day when her secret would be discovered. She had hoped that the principal would divorce his wife as soon as possible and marry her before their affair would be exposed. After all, she already had the principal's seven-year-old daughter, and his wife wasn't able to get pregnant.
The principal had promised her that when he would have established a firm position in the industry, he would marry her.
But now, all her hope was lost, and her nightmare came true...
"Ms. Tang, why do you look so gloomy?" Linda sat opposite Amber and asked deliberately.
"Ms. Xia..." Amber raised her head to look at Linda and frowned. She then sighed and said, "You should have known about what had happened today. I am so worried. I don't know what I should do."
"What are you worried about? I've heard that your daughter's real father is the principal. If that is the case, then you can just divorce your husband, "Linda said casually.
"It's not that simple. Everyone knows that I had an affair. I am not sad about divorcing my husband. But since I was the one who had committed an affair, my husband demanded that I have to give up all our marital properties when we divorce. I have spent a great deal of money for our house, and the loan hasn't been paid off, yet. My husband's car was also bought by me after we got married. It's counted as marital property, too. As far as I know, all these assets will probably belong to my husband if we file a divorce case. I will then become penniless," said Amber in a morose voice.
'So... she is worried about the money, 'thought Linda.
Linda smiled and looked at Amber, saying, "Take it easy. Do you really want to divorce your husband?"
"I have been considering it. I just couldn't make up my mind. I didn't love him when we got married. I chose him only because we were childhood playmates. I won't feel any pity if I divorce him. Plus, he is a very lazy man..."
"Then just divorce him. Don't worry. It's not necessary for you to give up all your marital properties. How about I do you a big favor?"
Linda said as she patted Amber's shoulder and looked into her eyes.
"What? How are you going to help me?" asked Amber, confused. ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
