Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

The Casper family was a well-known family in Courtbush. Today was Elmore Casper's eightieth birthday party. Many distinguished guests were present and the atmosphere was lively.

However, a sudden ear-piercing scream from the garden startled everyone present.

Someone recognized that it was the voice of Babette Casper, the wife of Elmore's eldest grandson. She was pregnant, and her husband had already passed away. The Caspers rushed to the garden immediately to see what was going on.

In the swimming pool, two struggling figures came into view.

Before anyone else could react, Rory Casper dove into the swimming pool to pull the struggling Babette ashore.

Just then, the security guards rushed into the water to save the second drowning figure, Becky Casper.

When Becky returned to the house in sopping wet clothes, the servants passing by didn't bat an eyelash at her.

Nobody cared that she had nearly drowned, nor did they care about her in general.

After living with this family for over three years, Becky realized that her position was possibly inferior to that of the dog raised by Rory's sister.

Since such a big accident happened to Babette, the Casper family rushed to the hospital with her.

Becky retreated to her room, took a shower, and then put on a fresh set of clothes. Feeling unwell, she sank into bed. Just as she had drifted off to sleep, she was dragged out of bed by Rory.

When Becky saw Rory, her eyes turned red. "You're back already? How's Babette? Listen to me, Rory. I swear I didn't push her into the swimming pool."

Rory sneered coldly. "Save the excuses for Grandpa."

Becky suddenly came to her senses. "What do you mean, Rory?"

Without giving her the light of day, he said briskly, "Grandpa has questions for you."

Rory didn't want to waste his breath on Becky. Not long after Babette was sent to the hospital, her child was gone.

That child was supposed to be the only flesh and blood left by Rory's eldest brother. Because of Becky, they lost the child forever.

Of course, Elmore was furious. As soon as he came back from the hospital, he ordered Rory to take Becky to him.

Becky went stiff. Rory's words sent shivers down her spine.

She had been married to Rory for so long. Of course, she knew how Elmore would punish people who had made serious mistakes.

They would be seriously beaten.

It never occurred to her that they would turn a deaf ear to her explanation. They didn't even give her the chance to explain and just believed what Babette said.

Looking at the side profile of the man who was dragging her away, Becky couldn't help but think that he was undoubtedly handsome. But this man had never been gentle or nice to her ever since she married him.

Her high fever was unbearable, but no one cared.

Now that Babette lost her child, Becky knew everyone in this family, including her husband, wanted to skin her alive.

Becky pursed her lips in mock. "I can walk by myself."

Rory glanced at her. There was disgust and anger in his deep-set eyes, without a trace of pity or sympathy.

"Hurry up," he said expressionlessly.

Without waiting for a response, he turned around and hurried to the living room.

Watching him leave her, Becky suddenly felt that her life had been nothing but a joke the past three years.

The living room was brightly lit. She knew that the Caspers were inside waiting for her.

"Kneel!"

As soon as Becky entered, Elmore threw a teacup at her.

Becky stood there, calm and collected. "Why?"

She had done nothing wrong. Why should she get on her knees?

Her stubbornness only served to make Elmore angrier. "Rory, this is the person you married!"

Just as Becky opened her mouth to explain herself, Rory suddenly raised his hand and pressed his palm heavily on her shoulder. "Kneel."

Under his strong hand, Becky was forced to kneel. "Either you kneel or we divorce."

"Rory?"

Becky already knew that her supposed husband wouldn't protect her. But when he pressed his hand on her shoulder, she still felt that he might as well have stabbed her in the back.

She married this man regardless of her family's objection. She naively reasoned that no matter how cold he was to her, she would gradually move him and win his heart as time passed.

Under the pressure of Rory's hand, Becky was forced to kneel, which hurt her knees. However, in that moment, the pain in her knees was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

Becky raised her head to look up at Rory, who was standing next to her. His eyes were sharp and ruthless, devoid of any sympathy towards her, which only pained her further.

She had been too naive.

"Becky, do you know your mistake?"

Hearing Elmore's voice, Becky looked back at him and straightened her back. "I didn't push her. I didn't do anything wrong."

Before she could finish her sentence, Elmore grabbed a vase and threw it at Becky, missing her by inches.

The vase smashed into countless pieces next to Becky. A stray shard flew straight at her, cutting the back of her hand.

"Impenitent woman! You don't deserve to kneel in our living room! You have dirtied our home and brought shame on our family! Drag her out and make her kneel outside until she knows she's in the wrong!"

After saying that, Elmore addressed Rory specifically. "Find someone to keep an eye on her. If she doesn't admit her mistake, don't let her get up!"

Elmore stormed off angrily. Glancing warily at Rory, Jenifer Casper, Rory's mother, walked up to Becky and said, "Becky, get up. Elmore is just being unreasonably angry. Don't take it to heart."

The sole person in the Casper family who was kind to Becky was Jenifer.

She was a soft-hearted woman who thought that no matter what Becky did, she was still a member of this family.

Denise Casper, Rory's sister, sneered with disdain. "Mom, Grandpa said that if she doesn't admit her fault, she can't stand up. Please don't get involved in this matter!"

Denise was by no means fond of Becky, unlike her mother. She knew that Jenifer wouldn't be able to bear seeing Becky in trouble like this, so she took her mother's arm to take her away.

Jenifer sighed and looked to Rory, who had been silent this whole time. "Rory, what's on your mind? Becky's your wife. You have been married for three years. Even if she-"

Rory's eyes turned icy cold. "I don't have such a vicious wife!"

His words sent a shiver down Becky's spine. She knew in that moment that explaining herself would be futile, because her own husband had already made up his mind about her.

After saying that, Rory stood up straight and added coldly, "Behave yourself, Becky."

Every indifferent word that left his mouth was like a blow to Becky's heart.

Then, the man walked away. As the sound of his footsteps got softer and softer, Becky felt as though her heart was about to give up.

Two servants appeared all of a sudden. "Mrs. Casper, you have to kneel outside as ordered."

The two servants exchanged tacit glances and then grabbed either side of Becky. They dragged her out of the living room and forced her to kneel outside.

Becky had never been insulted like this. She raised her head and looked at the two servants defiantly. "How dare you treat me like this?"

But the two servants didn't take her seriously at all. "Just stay there, Mrs. Casper! Unless you admit your mistake, you have to kneel here the whole night. Save us the trouble and behave yourself."

Just then, thunder roared in the sky and seconds later, rain poured down relentlessly.

The two servants were stunned for a moment before they reacted. The two quickly ran into the house, leaving Becky kneeling outside alone.

The rain got heavier while Becky's heart grew colder.

She didn't know how long she had knelt outside. She only knew that when the rain stopped, the sky was still pitch black.

The two servants had fallen asleep. In fact, Becky could've seized this as an opportunity to leave, but she wasn't reconciled.

She simply didn't believe that Rory could really be so cruel.

But sometimes, even she had to admit that she was being too naive.

At the break of dawn, Rory finally came.

Having knelt all night, Becky's back was slumped.

As Rory approached, she stared at him blearily and pinched herself to wake up. "Are you calm yet?"

If he was calm, he should be willing to listen to her now.

Rory looked at the woman in front of him. Becky was drenched from the previous night's rainstorm, and her almond-shaped eyes looked weary, but they couldn't conceal her determination.

He was a little put off by her stubborn gaze. "Are you willing to admit your mistake now?"

Becky was stunned and her eyes widened in disbelief. She suddenly realized that her kneeling in the cold all night was a big joke.

She had knelt all night to prove a point. Her point couldn't just be erased like this.

"I didn't push Babette into the water. She jumped into the pool by herself."

As she spoke, she slowly got on her feet, which felt both pain and numbness. When she was finally able to stand, she locked eyes with him and continued, "But I know you don't believe me. Let's divorce, Rory."

Rory had expected to hear Becky's apology, but instead of admitting to her mistake, she declared that she wanted to divorce him.

Without giving him a chance to respond, Becky turned around and started to walk away. Her steps were slow and pained because her knees were swollen after a whole night of kneeling. Worse yet, the rains had worsened her fever, and she felt hot and cold at the same time. Every step she took was harder than the last, but she still kept her back straight.

Soon, Becky made it back to her room. She gritted her teeth and texted Jessie Walker, her best friend. After hitting send, she quickly packed up her few belongings.

Just as she was about to go downstairs with her luggage, Rory happened to be going upstairs. Without looking at him, Becky walked past him and left.

Becky's sickness was taking a toll on her. The second she walked out of the house, her vision began to blur.

Fortunately, before she fainted, Jessie arrived.

Seeing that Becky was about to faint on the side of the road, Jessie was shocked.

"Where the hell is Rory?"

She bounded out of the car, took Becky's luggage, and stuffed it into the trunk. As soon as she shut the trunk, Becky's knees buckled and she fainted.

"Becky!"

Jessie hurried to support her. The moment she touched Becky, she was stunned by how warm she was.

This made her feel both distressed and angry. Jessie carefully led Becky into the passenger seat of the car and said, "I'm taking you to the hospital."

But by then, Becky had blacked out and didn't hear her. Her face was as pale as a ghost, which made Jessie feel sorry for her.

For the time being, Jessie didn't have time to confront the Casper family. She stepped on the gas and sped to the nearest hospital.

Becky had a high fever and slept throughout the entire afternoon.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that Jessie had fallen asleep on the edge of her bed.

Almost all at once, Becky remembered what had happened. Everything was still vivid in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

She didn't want to wake Jessie, so she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying out. In the dark room, tears silently rolled down her cheeks.

She was wrong about Rory. She should never have believed that she could change him. He still loved Babette. Over the past three years, Becky was nothing but a joke to him.

No wonder Babette said she was stupid. Now that Becky thought about it, she thought she was more than just stupid.

She was probably the stupidest woman in the world.
