My husband inherited $5 million, then said, "Let's divorce, you're not needed anymore." Hell ensued.

my husband Jack made Andy Primark after receiving his inheritance I don't need a life with you anymore I'm inheriting $5 million I don't need you when I have that money his cold words suggested the end of our marriage after a long period of living I felt like a mere obstacle but he doesn't know yet the significant secret associated with the $5 million inheritance mom is it true that grandpa is in critical condition I was taken aback by my daughter Sophie's unexpected question supposedly the serious health problem of Ethan who is Jack's father was a secret between Jack and me did you get that information from your dad the only one who might have told Sophie is Jack yes and on a call from Dad he told me to renounce Grandpa's inheritance Sophie's words unsettled me and because of this single phone call my peaceful life was about to be shaken a few days after the call with Sophie aan passed away peacefully since getting married I've lived with Jack's parents and I've never hesitated to support them when they Health worsens it's been 5 years since Jack's mother passed away and now we received the news of ethens passing the funeral went smoothly but the moment I thought I was free from the tension my husband's beh Behavior changed dramatically what are you doing here why hasn't it been cleaned properly lately Jack frequently points out minor dust and small stains I'm sorry I must have missed it I'll clean it right now this place isn't cleaned well either do you really clean every day of course I clean with the same routine as always even though I clean just as always I can't understand why Jack is so angry but it seemed the issue wasn't just about cleaning why are you serving this I wish you'd pay more attention to the taste when you cook it's hard when the dishes I put effort into are criticized one by one even the dishes he used to enjoy are now unappreciated is there something bothering you lately I plucked up the courage to ask but it seemed to worsen his mood it's useless to deny it to be honest the food you make isn't good I've been tolerating it because my parents never complained but I've always felt its tastelessness deak down Jack's words pierced my heart coldly and sharply it was the first time he had ever criticized me so severely I knew when Jack was this upset anything I said would only fan the Flames my mom always cleaned and did laundry perfectly and at meal times she cooked with care without cutting corners you're nothing like her I've been patient but I can't stand it any longer this was the first time he compared me to his mother and criticized me all I could do was reflect deeply on myself I'm truly sorry I couldn't have imagined that he valued my cooking so little Jack always used to smile and say it's delicious when eating when we first got married his mother gave me cooking advice to think he is always found my cooking tasteless tears started to flow uncontrollably do you think anything will change if you cry your tears mean nothing now don't show them to me lately everything just feels so tedious after saying those words Jack suddenly stood up and left the house slamming the door behind him as he walked away I called out Jack where are you going come back but it seemed he didn't hear me my mind was in turmoil unable to keep up with this Sudden Change unable to understand what had just happened until a few months ago we were a couple who shared everything holding hands we shared the small joys of daily life and tackled minor grievances together I couldn't understand why we had become so distant and then I remembered the content of the call from Sophie it's about Ethan's inheritance there was a hint of hesitation in Sophie's voice that night Jack came home much later than usual and I missed the opportunity to ask him about it was there something going on maybe Jack found out some information about The Inheritance and wanted to keep it to himself I tried to approach Sophie I wonder why they're discussing inheritance while grandpa is still in good health she had expressed doubts about Jack and said she had conveyed the same to him if the way the inheritance is divided doesn't change it will all fall into my hands considering Sophie I believe this is the best way recalling Jack's recent cold Behavior toward Sophie doubts crossed my mind if he intends to take all the inheritance and abandon me this thought tightened my chest and tears again welled up in my eyes in my pain I became keenly aware of the sounds around me just as the room became eerily silent the sudden ring of the phone echoed throughout I didn't feel up to answering but it could be important checking the caller ID I saw Jack's name the same Jack who had left the house earlier picking up felt tiresome but I also didn't want to face any backlash for ignoring it so I hesitantly answered what are you doing don't keep me waiting I'm running out of time his sudden authoritative tone took me by surprise he was indeed stubborn at times but he wasn't someone who would yell without a reason in the past shocked by his changed demeanor I let out a slight sigh hoping he wouldn't notice what's wrong is there a problem I have something to talk about I'll be home soon stay home and wait for me lately his voice sounded unmistakably colder than before I replied with a brief okay and promptly hung up looking at the clock more than 3 hours had already passed since Jack went out I had been crying so overwhelmed with confusion and pain that I hadn't realized how much time had passed after a while I heard the door open and Jack's footsteps a sweet scent of body wash one we didn't use at home wafted from him that unfamiliar smell intense ified the pain in my chest I'll be straight for work I want to end our relationship as a token of gratitude I'll give you $220,000 his words were something I had feared deep down still facing this reality the shock was so immense that I felt tears drying up I'm genuinely tired of you not managing things at home I want to live peacefully in my old age Linda to had dreamt of a peaceful old age however the one who began to shatter that dream was none other than Jack why are you her words trailed off as she searched for what to say Jack looked at her with a smug smile at that moment a bright ringtone from Jack's cell phone filled the room the unfamiliar tone was clearly different from his usual one to Linda it felt as if this unusual sound hinted at a communication from a specific individual I'm sorry but I haven't finished my errands yet Linda sensed a slight softness in Jack's voice different from how he usually sounds towards her it felt somewhat Kinder and more intimate furthermore the sweet scent of body wash in the room the unique ringtone from earlier and the changed tone of his voice all these events hinted at something he might be hiding I knew it Linda whispered quietly so that Jack wouldn't hear he had been too overt about his external Affair considering the inheritance he might be getting soon the alimony might be insignificant for him even if his infidelity becomes evident after ending his call Jack looked down at Linda with emotionless cold eyes my intentions haven't changed I want you to sign this document I'll contact you later make sure to have it signed by then I don't plan to come back to this house remember this house is now yours Jack without uttering another word or even looking at my face headed towards the door what did our long marital life of 40 years mean a few days later I found myself at a lawyer's office as I gathered information about Jack's actions and Ethan's inheritance and explained it to our daughter Sophie her complexion changed it was painful to show our daughter our mistakes but Sophie out of love for me let her emotions out and shed tears then she showed strong determination to confront Jack and introduced me to a lawyer to support us hello hello I am Robinson I will be handling your case I will support you to the best of my ability the woman named Robinson sitting across me seemed to be in her late 40s exuding a calm Aura her neatly groomed hair and attire gave off a professional Vibe her clear way of speaking provided me with a sense of reassurance I'm truly sorry for approaching you suddenly my name is ly Johnson I'm a bit nervous since it's our first meeting under such circumstances that's all right I have already received some information from Sophie Sophie has briefed me on the overview so I was able to talk in detail with peace of mind based on what I've researched over the days and the information Mrs Robinson separately gathered for me we verified the facts my husband doesn't have any siblings so if our daughter Sophie renounces The Inheritance the huge Fortune which amounts to about $5 million will all go to my husband also giz affair with a woman named Jennifer began at a bar they happened to visit and it seemed their relationship continued for about 6 months she seems quite different from me and I was curious about what happened between her and my husband through joint investigation with Mrs Robinson we were able to uncover an important fact that my husband might not yet know Linda how do you intend to proceed from here Mrs Robinson asked me in a gentle tone and soft eyes thank you from the bottom of my heart I deeply appreciate it I replied smiling towards Mrs Robinson I handed over the fee for the procedures and after a brief exchange with her I quietly left the office 5 days later I received a call from Jack on my cell phone he proposed a meeting in a quiet Cafe I arrived a bit earlier than our scheduled time the cafe was surprisingly empty the owner warmly welcomed me and suggested I pick any seat I chose a seat by the window window to enjoy the calm outside view after a while the entrance bell rang and in my line of sight stood Jack and his new girlfriend Jennifer when Jack saw me he smirked with a sense of Pride are you prepared for the divorce I was a bit surprised that this was his first statement it seems he's convinced he's in full control is this your new associate I hadn't expected him to bring her to such an important discussion and I was astonished at his decision I wondered if he was the man I once deeply loved has he changed because he cheated or was he always like this I can't tell you are Jack's wife right my name is Jennifer I've recently started dating him she said with a sudden smile I couldn't quite grasp the meaning of her sudden smile I've heard a lot about you from Jack seeing you in in person you do look a bit aged I wonder how Jack endured all these years I feel a little sorry for him indeed Jennifer seems to take great care of her appearance she looks much younger than her actual age in her 60s compared to her I might look my age but I can't accept the way she phrased it Jennifer it's those Tendencies of yours I warned you about Jack interjected but indeed I did think that but Jack if it were me I would cherish you more I said softly I know Linda I don't want you to overthink it anymore I just want you to file the divorce papers I was taken aback by Jack's expected attitude hold on there's something I want to discuss I said noticing a hint of confusion on Jack's face what are you getting at is it all about your father's inheritance is that why after all our years of marriage you're deciding this I wanted to know the truth behind all these events I can't see how my father's inheritance and you are related that's solely my father's I've heard detailed stories about your father's vast inheritance from Sophie I know how much it's worth so what that inheritance isn't for you to take but I'll answer actually more than the inheritance itself the end of taking care of my parents is one of the reasons I want to part with you just a caregiver role how had Jack seen me only as a caregiver and not the loving wife I used to be I don't even have the energy to cry can we speed this up Jack I want to start our new life besides have you still not let go of Jack don't make me repeat myself I'm not thinking of a new start with you now I want you to file the divorce paper waves of emotion struck struck my heart with intense anger and deep sadness my hand quivered slightly taking a deep breath I pulled out the divorce papers but my name isn't written yet the situation isn't settled yet to hand it over you remember promising me the house and money right I clearly remember when we talked about it yeah I did say that I'm a man of my word so I plan to give you the house and money you say you're kind but a truly kind person wouldn't just use their wife as a mere caregiver and then abandon her so I'm demanding rightful compensation of $30,000 in the rights to the house what compensation when we talked about money it was supposed to be $20,000 you always nitpick at the very end your attitude of trying to pay me the absolute minimum is so obvious but the difference of $10,000 means a lot to me so I think $30,000 as compensation is fair your girlfriend it's Jennifer right I thought of claiming from her too but in Li of that I want to settle for $330,000 and I intend to sign the divorce papers right here in front of you Jennifer reacted unexpectedly first commenting about $30,000 should be fine Jack pay it if you're satisfied with it she said with Jennifer's statement Jack finally accepted the alamon of $30,000 now we need Jack's signature on the land title change document Mrs Robinson prepared and the notorized alamon agreement Jack looked surprised by my preparations still I calmly said I have a life to continue to and eased his suspicions we took out our respective seals lined up at the designated spot and Jack smiled as if he anticipated something so so Linda will you sign the divorce papers right now understood here's the divorce paper as I carefully wrote my name and firmly stamped it Jack couldn't hold back his laughter and laughed out loud again with this you and I no longer have any relationship also I have something to tell you actually I'm set to inherit $5 million so I didn't need someone like you thanks for the divorce what a foolish ex-wife you had letting go so easily for just $30,000 Jack's voice sneered behind me as I left followed by the loud laughter of Jack and Jennifer echoing I hurriedly left and headed to the City Hall my only goal now is to complete this procedure as quickly as possible and seever ties with the two of them completely they might be laughing happily now but I wondered how long their happiness would last a month later I quickly sold the house I received from Jack prepared for a new life and decided to live near my daughter Sophie who planned to start her life near her husband's parents' home since Jack's mother lived nearby I thought there would inevitably be moments I'd feel cautious but contrary to my concerns Sophie's husband warmly welcomed me and was always considerate which I found very reassuring my daughter Sophie seemed angry at Jack's actions at first but when I told her a certain fact her expression changed completely and she smiled brightly I had a hunch that Jack would soon realize my plan as proof I deliberately didn't change my mobile number the day that intuition became a reality came sooner than I thought from the afternoon my mobile rang repeatedly and sure enough it was Jack he called many times but at first I Purp purp L didn't answer after receiving repeated calls I finally picked up hello why are you doing this I couldn't hide my surprise what's the matter you called out of the blue Jack raised his voice what's the problem where are you right now I thought he might have visited the house we used to live in but in reality that house had already been sold since we've decided to divorce there's no me for you to be involved anymore where did Sophie go I can't find her it seems he went to Sophie's previous house of course she wasn't there and I managed all the information and procedures related to Sophie's husband's family home so Jack had no way of knowing he seems to have hit a dead end and contacted me Yes actually Sophie is moved to a new place I replied calmly why didn't you tell me something so important moreover did you know about that too Jack seemed to have finally realized the truth by that are you referring to the significant hidden debt that Ethan had actually when I investigated Ethan's inheritance in detail I was shocked by the amount of The Inheritance but at the same time I found out about a considerable hidden debt probably while he was alive he estimated he could repay the debt with about $5 million and hid that fact from us however he passed away Midway through repayment and the hidden debt was left neglected and when you officially receive an inheritance you are also obliged to inherit such hidden debts Jack was blinded by the Allure of easy money and neglected thorough verification and investigation that was his big mistake so I have a question did you really know about my dad's debt information is easy to come by it becomes clear to anyone with a little search that's why I noticed it I explained calmly I could imagine Jack turning red with anger on the other end of the phone anyway what about the promised money what about the money you intended to return Jack's real goal was money after all besides about that property if I had known about my dad's debt from the beginning I wouldn't have gotten involved at all I understand how you feel Jack said revealing his suspicions I thought it deep down but I chose not to say it but think about it putting aside the money issue for a moment you got to marry a very attractive woman right isn't that pretty lucky of course I don't know if Jennifer chose Jack because of his assets or if it was truly love as soon as Jennifer found out about my debt she left me I thought she would it's exactly as I expected Jack confessed think about it how about starting over with me I feel deceived by Jennifer I just realized now you're the person I really need Jack's tone suddenly dropped and became emotional I wonder if he has forgotten everything he did to me I thought to myself feeling cornered every day I'm being rushed by collectors and the debt I can't repay is piling up I'm at my limit I really feel my life is in danger help me please Jack pleaded desperately even after hearing his desperate plea I calmly thought if I were in this situation would Jack help me I'm living peacefully now and am truly satisfied in the days to come I want to live in peace you might have forgotten but remember what was said at my response I told Jack for a moment he was lost for words on the other end of the phone you mean back then he asked yes exactly Jack I'm really grateful that we were able to get divorced thank you for giving me a chance to choose A New Path I said firmly I felt the Tremor in Jack's voice and his tears but for my future I made up my mind and quietly ended the call this marked the complete end of our relationship I don't know how Jack's life is now or how he's repaying his debt but I hope he's making an effort somewhere I thought to myself as I contemplated the situation Linda how about taking a walk outside while looking at the beautiful scenery currently I'm enjoying my days with a wonderful person I met through a hobby in Chicago he's very warm and always with me spending time with him brings me unparalleled happiness
