Chapter 6
I had been cooped up in this house for three days. It was about time to get out for a bit.
I took Shawn to a high–end restaurant for a meal.
I didn’t expect to run into Jackson and Rosella here.
They both walked over to our table.
Rosella loudly said, “Monica, what a coincidence! You and your idiot. husband are out for dinner?”
Others in the restaurant immediately took notice of her words and tossed us curious glances.
Someone immediately recognized Shawn and started gossiping.
“Hey
he idiot son of the Bradley family? Such a handsome ame he’s an idiot.”
he went abroad for university and came back stupid. What do think this woman married a fool for? I’m really curious–can a fool. even have sex? Hahaha.”
“You just don’t get it. That woman married into a rich family–endless money, any man she wants. If you ask me, she struck gold. That’s what I call a high–end prostitute.”
As the outsiders gossiped about the two of us, Rosella could barely contain her smirk but still covered her face, pretending.

“Sorry, Monica, I didn’t mean to say that out loud. You know how I am -simple–minded. I just say whatever comes to mind.”
The tears came instantly, like a faucet turned on.
I sneered. “I haven’t said anything yet. Why are you crying?
“Are you mourning your parents? If you’re going to cry, go cry somewhere else. Don’t bring your bad luck near me.”
Hearing that, Jackson pointed at me unhappily and said, “Monica, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so prickly now? No matter what, she’s still your family. Can’t you be a little kinder? Hurry up and apologize to Rosella.”
I stood up and met his gaze. “Jackson, is there anything else you know how to do besides telling me to apologize to her every day?
“I was blind to have ever been with you. Back then, you barely counted as my boyfriend, so I listened to you. But what are you now?
“What, not satisfied with your Vice CEO title? Don’t forget–would you have gotten that high without me?”
Rosella wiped her tears in surprise and said, “Monica, the way yo
way you’re talking, people might think you were the one keeping Jackson like a sugar baby. Even if you married into a rich family, you can’t slander your ex like this.”
The onlookers chimed in with jeers. “This woman is shameless. No wonder she’d marry an idiot for money. So cold–blooded, just a gold digger who cuts ties with her family.”
I shouted at them, “Yeah, I cut ties with my family–so what? What’s it

got to do with you? Shut your filthy mouths!”
That scolding made several of them get up and surround me.
“What did you just say?”
“I said what I said! What? Are you going to do something? And you, Rosella–ever since I came back to the Sullivan family, you’ve been picking fights with me every day. You act all innocent like some Miss Goody Two–Shoes, but underneath it all you’re just a scheming bitch!”
Rosella was stunned. She probably never expected I would dare to expose the truth so openly in public.
Before she could react, Jackson suddenly slapped me across the face.
“Monica! You’ve gone too far!”
I immediately shouted to everyone around, “Hey, everyone, look over here! This is my wonderful ex–boyfriend–he’s sleeping with my sister! Open your eyes and see who the real scumbag is!”
Jackson raised his hand again, but the next second, he took a solid kick
to the stomach.
