Ham toasted him and said, “Harvey, we’re a family. So please tell me
whatever you know,” Harvey hesitated, and he turned to look at me. “Vivi, you
should tell Liam yourself; how could you keep such big news from him?” Liam
and Anna looked at me simultaneously, I was shocked and did not know
what to say. Harvey seemed to be doing it on purpose, and I… What can I do?
Anna tried to toast and said, “Let’s not talk about it anymore; let’s drink.”
Harvey suddenly sighed and showed Liam a report. “It’s my fault; I know that
it’s normal that Vivi doesn’t want to have a child at her age.” Liar took it, and
he was devastated looking at it. That report belonged to Anna; it was dated
last month. Liam first had sex with me one day before her miscarriage. I saw
his hands shaking, and all of his blood vessels could be seen. Everyone knew
that he was enraged; there was a dead silence. Liam put down the report.
after a long time, and he cleaned the glass. He looked at Harvey as if he
wanted to say something, but his eyes turned red, and he stood up and left
instead.
Looking at him running away and hearing Mrs. Sullivan’s worried voice at the
Chapter 77 We’re Even Now
entrance, I felt painfully breathless. I would not feel this way if he hit me.
instead. Why… Why is he crying? Suddenly, someone with a heavy perfume

smell hugged me; it was Anna. “Vivi,” she wiped off my tears and said gently,
“Stop crying. Let him cool down for a bit. Why didn’t you tell him about the
abortion?” I forcefully pushed her away, and she shut up. “Sorry, it’s time for
the two of you to leave.” They left shortly.
I froze on the spot, and I scooped the crab meat to eat. I kept telling myself
that we were even now; he had hurt me so many times, and I only hurt him.
once. I was sure that he would get a divorce with me, and after the
distribution of the assets, I could buy the stock and settle my father’s
wellbeing. Yet I had so many regrets. If I didn’t undergo an abortion… If I can.
live longer… But after all, everything was breaking apart. I recalled that he
drank some alcohol at noon, so I asked Mrs. Suvillan to call her. She put the
phone on hold all of a sudden and said, “Ms. Nyra, Ms. Shaw’s on the phone;
she wants to speak with you.”
I took the phone and heard her say coldly, “I’m Yvette Shaw.” I answered, “Hi,
Ms. Shaw.” She said, “The divorce agreement is being sent now.” She

continued, “Sign it immediately and stop bothering Liam.” I asked, “Is he
okay?” She answered, “He’ll be better off for you.” I replied, “Okay, goodbye.”
She said, “I hope we never met; you’re devious.” And she hung up.
Jeffrey arrived after a while, and he brought a document file over. “Mrs.
Mendez, please sign it.” It was the divorce agreement; I only got two million
dollars in total. “Why is the amount so little?” He answered, “You asked for it
from the beginning.” I said, “This is too little; I’ve changed my mind. I want at
least three million dollars in cash.” He said in disgust, “Ms. Nyra, you’re too
greedy.” I snorted, saying, “I won’t sign if he doesn’t agree to it. I’ll expose him.
to the media and let everyone know that he has a mistress, and he cheated
the Nyra Corporation from me, and he forced me to get the abortion.” He was
shocked to look at me, and I firmly looked at him. After a while, he took his
phone out and left. And he never came back.
I spent the entire afternoon trying to break Liam’s safe open. He used his
fingerprint for it, and the alarm would set off, and he and the safe’s company
would be alerted at the same time. But I always liked to play with the safe, so
I could actually open it easily if I omitted the alarm. I took my phone out, and

the battery almost went flat. I saw a message from an unsaved account.
“Vivi, I’m Harvey, I know you’re not someone like that; talk to me as soon as
possible; if not, I can’t guarantee you what’s going to happen next.” Another
message was from Chris. “Are you okay? Why are you not picking up your
475
call? You’ve got to always update me about your conditions.” I deleted his
messages, and I was about to clear the chat history, but my phone vibrated.
It was from the hospital.
I answered the call and heard the doctor say, “Ms. Nyra, do you remember
the change in your father’s condition last time?” I answered anxiously, “Yes,
what’s happening?” He answered, “The security guards found something; your
should come over to have a look by yourself.” I simply got ready and dashed
to the entrance, and Mrs. Sullivan stopped me. I said, “It’s an emergency from
the hospital; something’s happening to my father; I have to go now.” She said.
hesitantly, “I have to ask Mr. Mendez about it.” I said, “Yes, I’ll wait for you here.”
I was always obedient, so she walked away to make the call. I straightaway
opened the door and ran out without looking back. I ran down more than tent
floors, and I was panting hard. I felt blood in my throat, and my legs were
numb.

Suddenly, there were footsteps behind me, I quickly ran, but I did not step on
the correct step. I lost balance, so I closed my eyes. At the same time,
someone grabbed my waist, and I was inside someone’s embrace.
I struggled slightly, and I smelled a similar cigarette smell. I was shocked, and
I opened my eyes. It was Liam. Shouldn’t he be with Ms. Shaw? Why is he
here? Is he here to beat me?
