Chapter 1 Divorce

"How about you file for a divorce on the grounds that she is infertile?"

Rebecca Dixon stood outside the door. And she felt a chill all over when she heard the woman's voice from the room. She couldn't believe those words came out of her loving mother-in-law's mouth.

Infertile?

Rebecca and Yosef Swain had a marriage of convenience. A month before their marriage, he had a car accident. His leg was so seriously injured that he almost had an amputation. Everyone persuaded her not to marry him. But she wanted to keep her promise, so she still married him regardless of anything.

They had been married for more than a year, and during this period, she had been taking care of Yosef. They never had sex, but he and his family would make her the scapegoat and accuse her of being infertile.

"A big incident happened in Dixon Group, and the company is in debt of more than one billion dollars. Since Timothy died in an accident when he went to deal with the matter, I'm afraid Rebecca will have to shoulder the debt by herself. If you don't divorce her as soon as possible, it will affect us. You married Rebecca so that the two families could support each other. I don't want the Dixon family to drag us down. Yosef, what do you think about it?"

Rebecca gritted her teeth, and she couldn't help trembling all over.

Yosef should refuse, right? After all, she had been taking good care of him in the past year.

"No need to rush."

Rebecca was lost in thought when she heard Yosef's deep voice.

But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued, "Although something happened to the Dixon family, Timothy left a lot of things for Rebecca. I'll try my best to persuade her to convert everything she has into money, making her believe that I only want to help her. After I get the money, I'll divorce her."

Rebecca couldn't believe her ears. She didn't expect Yosef to be so cruel.

Her mind went blank for a moment. She took a step back, forgetting that there was a stair behind her. She missed one step and rolled to the floor.

"Who is it?" Yosef asked.

Rebecca hurriedly stood up, turned around, and ran away.

"It's Rebecca. She heard everything. We can't let her run away," her mother-in-law said.

The night was dark outside, and the rain was getting heavier, making the surroundings gloomy and pitch-black.

On this rainy evening, even cars could not be seen on the normally busy street.

Rebecca's head was blank, and the rain blurred her vision. She didn't know where she was, and she just kept on running numbly.

Suddenly, a light shone in front of her. It was so dazzling that she had to stop and raise her hand to cover her eyes.

The car suddenly accelerated and ran towards her.

Rebecca had no time to dodge. As the loud bang rang out, her body was thrown a few meters away. She felt like her entire body was crushed. It was so painful that she could hardly even scream.

The car stopped, and someone got out. The person walked up to her and checked her condition.

"Mr. Swain, she is still alive. Shall we hit her again?"

Yosef's cold voice came. "Yes."

Yosef walked up to Rebecca step by step.

Rebecca's eyes widened in shock. She didn't know that Yosef could walk again.

He squatted down and looked at her. "I don't intend to kill you. But unfortunately, you heard our conversation. At first, I only wanted to divorce you. But now I realize it's not bad to tell the public that my wife has died in a car accident. In this case, everything that is yours will be mine. I can declare that Dixon Group has gone bankrupt. I won't be responsible for its losses and debts. It's only a fair deal, right?"

Yosef paused and smiled. "By the way, I'll tell you another secret. You are going to die anyway. Actually, after the Dixon family's accident, I have already found someone to replace you. And it's your best friend, Paige Potter. She loves me, and she seduced me before we got married. Some time ago, she always came to our house to comfort you, right? We had sex and now she is pregnant with my child. After you die, I will marry her."

Yosef looked at Rebecca's face. He couldn't help licking his lips and saying, "You're so beautiful. But unfortunately, your family's trouble came at an inopportune time. I haven't even slept with you yet."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched her chin. "How about I take away your virginity before I kill you? After all, if you die a virgin, you won't know what a man tastes like."

Rebecca glared at Yosef, thinking he was a bastard.

Her eyes turned red, and her heart was filled with pain and hatred.

Yosef's hand slide down, going deep through her body. It stimulated her nerves, and she subconsciously resisted. She suddenly saw a car coming not far away.

She bumped her forehead against Yosef's, making him dodge in a hurry.

Rebecca took advantage of the opportunity. She tried her best to get up and rushed towards the approaching car.

A sharp sound of brakes sounded. She rushed over, opened the car door, and got in.

"Help me... Please drive away. They want to kill me. They want me dead."

No one spoke. When Rebecca raised her head, it was only then that she saw the situation inside the car. There was a partition between the front and the back, and a man was sitting on the other side of the back seat.

The man had his head down, and it was dark, so she couldn't see his face clearly. But she saw that blue veins stood out on his forehead and hands on his knees. It was as if he was enduring great pain.

"Sir? Is something wrong with you? Are you sick?"

The man, who seemed to be holding back his emotions, finally said, "I don't want to hurt anyone. But you throw yourself at me."
