Chapter 2

"Poor Danny! He just transferred the assets to the kids, and she dropped the act and demanded a divorce."

"I heard they agreed to be child-free forever, but Mrs. Rain adopted twins later. They got into Harvard, and this graduation party is for that."

"I suspect those twins are Mrs. Rain's and that cheating bastard's love children."

"Duh! Otherwise, why would she want Danny to transfer the assets to the kids?"

"Danny is being played."

Everyone attending the graduation party whispered, murmuring about the turn of events.

Mom was in tears. "Danny, see? You fell into their trap! Your dad and I told you this woman was suspicious, calculating, only with you for the money. We also mentioned the twins' questionable origin, and told you to be careful, but you wouldn't listen!"

Dad returned, saying, "How could I have such a worthless son? For a woman, you'd give away your entire fortune!"

Surrounded by the noise, I stared at the divorce agreement, no one saw the smile on my lips.

"Danny, don't blame me. I'm a normal woman. You had a vasectomy, can't have kids, so I had to find someone else to have them."

Rain tried to justify it, seeking some psychological comfort for cheating.

I laughed. "You were the one scared of childbirth, wanting me to get a vasectomy so we could be child-free. I was willing to do that for you."

"That was then! The reality is you can't have kids, and I want my own children, so I had to find Andy…"

Andy nodded. "Yeah, if a man can't have kids, is he really a man? More like a eunuch."

The hall erupted in laughter!

Mom, recalling the past, sobbed to Rain, "You're from the country, your family so poor they couldn't even afford food, let alone tuition. You hid in your dorm, eating plain bread, and your mom was seriously ill, no money for treatment! If Danny hadn't helped you, you and your mom would be dead!"

"You liked sweet and sour pork, so Danny hired the best chef to make it for you, even learned to cook it himself! Your brother was unemployed for years, divorced, and Danny's dad got him a manager position, a six-figure salary!"

For a moment, we were all lost in memories.

Mom whispered, "Our family has been good to you. But you repaid our kindness with treachery, taking our family's assets."

After a moment of silence, Rain laughed. "What's the point of talking about this now?"

She looked at me. "Well, Danny, how much longer are you going to stare at that agreement?"

"Even if you don't sign, it doesn't matter."

"You've already transferred the assets to the kids, and the only shared property left is a few thousand dollars."

"Since you've sacrificed so much for us, I'll leave you that few thousand dollars for retirement."

Rain was so smug.

Smack!

Suddenly, Dad rushed forward and slapped her across the face!

"Bitch!"

Furious that our assets were taken, Dad was incensed.
