Chapter 4
I didn’t stay for the rest of the interview. After Gregory clarified that our marriage had been falling apart for over a year, I left.
Overnight, I became Gregory’s dumped woman.
Meanwhile, Alice became the only victim of this public scandal.
That interview stayed pinned on social media for days, and the buzz didn’t die down.
Especially the part where Gregory said: [Katherine and I had already planned to divorce a year ago, but it wasn’t the right time.]
[We wanted to handle it quietly, but now it has affected others, so we had to clarify things publicly.]
[Alice is not the cause of our breakup.]
[She is the only person my mentor cares about in this world. I take care of her, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I hope everyone can look at this rationally.]
Some fans, led by this, claimed that the reason our relationship fell apart was because I couldn’t stand the idea of Gregory’s pure sibling bond with Alice and that I was too petty, unable to understand his deep loyalty.
They said I was small–minded, and after five years of marriage, I hadn’t learned Gregory’s sense of loyalty and care.
The topic kept gaining traction for days.
I became the target of public scorn.
After getting the divorce certificate from the courthouse, I walked out.
Gregory stopped me. “Don’t take what’s said online to heart. It won’t be long before everyone forgets about it.”

Gregory seemed to sense that it wasn’t the right moment and stopped in his tracks.
“Gregory, I’m going back to Gerelden.”
“You really haven’t been back in a long time. It might be good for you to visit. When Christmas comes, I’ll come to pick you up…”
“I’m not going back to Jymara,” I calmly interrupted Gregory.
His faint smile froze on his face, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
I continued, “When I agreed to sign the divorce agreement, you promised me something. Now, it’s time to fulfill that promise.”
Gregory stared at me, stunned.
When I first came back to life this time, it only took me a few seconds to digest my feelings of love and resentment towards Gregory.
The moment I saw the divorce papers, I considered going crazy and tearing them up, maybe even causing more trouble with him. But in the end, reason prevailed.
After a long silence, I smiled.
“Gregory, I hope you never show up in front of me
