Chapter 27

This time, it was Juliet’s first aunt.
“Are you out of your mind, Juliet? Why on Earth are you giving up that luxurious life of yours and divorcing Asher? Did you ever consider what might happen to us as a result? My son was just hired recently, yet HR has already summoned him over to fire him! You’ve ruined him for life!”
The woman’s shrill voice pierced Juliet’s ears.
One after another, Juliet’s relatives called her. Her third uncle, her fourth aunt, her cousin…
Every single relative of hers who worked in Greene Corp’s subsidiaries or in their affiliates took turns calling her over the phone as if they’d planned this. They complained about being sidelined, mistreated, or simply fired from their jobs.
Their accounts were startlingly similar.
“You’re such an idiot! Why couldn’t you just be a good little wife to Asher and that rich family of his? Why did you have to cause such trouble for us all?
“We finally have someone in our family who can give us a promising future, yet you’ve ruined it all!”
“Hurry up and apologize to your in-laws! You need to beg for their forgiveness!”
“All men cheat-you just need to put up with it. You can’t drag your entire family down with you!”
Juliet’s relatives, who used to greet her so warmly and address her endearingly, seemed to have all changed into entirely different people. They blamed Juliet for being inconsiderate and upsetting the Greene family, thereby dragging all of the Stone family down with her.
Jesse was shellshocked by what happened. Tears pricked his eyes as he listened to Juliet’s relatives yell and berate her.
He gazed at Juliet as she answered every single phone call with nary an emotion on her face. She was so frail and small, yet she stood so firmly on her feet.
Juliet never shed a single tear throughout the calls, yet a faint bleakness still colored her
gaze.
Jesse felt chills creep up his shoulders. Had Asher actually taken action against the Stone family to force Juliet’s surrender?

If Asher had really done such a heinous thing, then there really was no going back anymore.
If Jesse were in Juliet’s shoes, he’d hate Asher to the bone too!
Juliet looked at Jesse, who had an expression of shock on his face.
“Do you see now? This is what Asher-the man I’ve loved for 15 years-did to me,” Juliet said calmly.
This was what Asher-the man who’d lovingly told Juliet that she was the most important thing to him in his entire life, and that he was all she would ever need–had done to her.
In the end, it was nothing but a grandiose illusion.
“Go back and tell Asher I’m set on the divorce,” Juliet said. Her expression softened slightly as she added, “Even if I walk away from this marriage with nothing to my name, even if the whole world berates me for my decision-I’m still never returning to that cage of a home.”
Juliet then pointed at the door. “You can go now.”
“Mrs. Greene…” Jesse’s throat felt incredibly dry. “Mr. Greene… Mr. Greene didn’t mean it. He’s just trying to get you to come back—”
“Leave.”
There was nothing but frost in Juliet’s once tender gaze. She was starting to resemble Asher whenever the latter was enraged.
It was no surprise that Juliet and Asher married one another they sure looked the part!
Jesse fled the apartment with his tail tucked between his legs.
He sped out of the building and went straight into his car, heart pounding in his chest.
He immediately gave Asher a phone call.
“Something’s gone wrong, Mr. Greene! Something’s gone horribly wrong!” Jesse cried.
Meanwhile, Juliet was sitting alone in her quiet living room. She gently caressed her flat belly, where a baby was slowly growing inside.
Juliet had hoped to share this wonderful news with Asher on their wedding anniversary. But the thought of it seemed ridiculous to her now.
How could she let her own child grow up in a family that prioritized personal gain? To be surrounded by those bloodsucking leeches that Asher called family?
Juliet slowly rose to her feet and walked over to the window. She gazed down at the city before
