Ethan, the housekeeper said you haven’t 

been home for days. Where have you been?” 

Brittany’s voice soundedalmost soft

It brought a lump to my throat

Brittany, we’re divorced. It’s none of your 

business where I go.” 

I heard Brittany’s breath catch on the other 

end, and her voice sounded almost panicked

What? What are you talking about? Come 

home right now. We can go on a trip.” 

I frowned. Brittany always did this, never 

caring about how I felt

If I got mad, she’d offer to take me on a trip

She knew I loved seeing new places

But what she didn’t know was that I wanted 

to see those places with her

She’d never get it

Brittany, don’t say things like that. Please 

just file the divorce papers.” 

I didn’t understand. Why was she still 

bothering me

Was I just a toy to her

Give me attention when she was bored, then 

throw me away when she was done

Brittany was silent for a moment

You really want a divorce?” 

I do.” 

Ethan, what is wrong with you? You messed 

  1. up. Chad and I worked so hard to protect you

How can you pretend you’re the victim?” 

く 

Fine. If you want a divorce, come to the 

office tomorrow. Then I’ll sign the papers.” 

I couldn’t sleep all night. In the morning,

went to the office

I wasn’t expecting it, but the company was 

holding a press conference. The second

walked in, the reporters swarmed me

Mr. Hayes, ColdTech was built on your work

and you’re one of the best programmers in 

the industry. Why would you make such

rookie mistake?” 

Mr. Hayes, there are rumors you were 

working with our competitors, selling our 

source code. What’s your response?” 

The repertoro 

The reporters were all in my face

I looked around and saw all my coworkers

Their eyes were full of hate

Someone shouted

That’s the scumbag who sold out our 

company! Because of him, we all lost our 

bonuses and half our pay!” 

Scumbag! How dare you come back here?” 

The voices were getting louder, filling me with 

bitterness

I was the one who made them money, helped 

them get better pay

I’d worked sidebyside with them for years

All it took was a few lies from Chad to wipe 

all that away

But I just wanted to get the divorce over with

Finally, Brittany and Chad came out

She acted like she didn’t even see me

wrapping her arm around Chad as they 

walked to the stage

All the men in the room had to stop and look 

at how perfect she was

The reporter handed the microphone to 

Brittany, but she passed it to Chad

I’ll take it from here,he said

We wanted to be nice and give Mr. Hayes

く 

chance to get his life back on track

But Mr. Hayes has pushed us too far. We 

have no choice but to tell the truth.” 

The truth is, Mr. Hayes abused his power 

and sold our source code to the competition

After he was caught, he destroyed the 

company’s server in an attempt to hide his 

tracks. If I hadn’t stepped in, the company 

would have gone bankrupt.” 

The coworkers couldn’t hold back

Lock him up!” 

If the law wasn’t protecting you, we’d kill you 

right now!” 

They charged at me. Just when I thought 

they’d tear me apart, an old voice echoed 

through the room

That’s not the truth. I have proof.” 

That old voice… 

Mr. Henderson
