My stomach felt as uncomfortable as a stormy sea, but I could only clench my teeth tightly, not letting myself make a sound.

Yvonne gently patted the back of William's hand and said softly, "I'm fine.

Mr.Gu, don't worry.

Miss Qin must also be having a severe pregnancy reaction and is in a bad mood.

I understand."

"You're so considerate, Yvonne."

William looked at her with emotion, his eyes turning red. "Unlike some people who lose their temper at the drop of a hat..."

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the acid water surging up my throat.

I held back my anger, turned around, left the living room, and went back to my room to rest.

In the evening, for some reason, my footsteps involuntarily headed towards the west wing of the Gu family villa.

There was a usually locked room that I had never entered before.

Suddenly, I heard voices coming from that room.

It was William and Yvonne's voices.

I tiptoed closer and, through the ajar door, I saw a scene that made my heart stop abruptly.

William and Yvonne were in the room, surrounded by my clothes and jewelry.

Yvonne was wearing my nightgown, with my favorite jade necklace around her neck.

"Yvonne, why are you wearing Serena's clothes."

William brushed away the silky hair falling on Yvonne's fragrant shoulders.

"Mr.

Gu, wouldn't it be more exciting for us to play while I'm wearing your wife's pajamas? Do you think Miss Qin would be angry and have a miscarriage if she knew about us."

Yvonne said with a coquettish laugh, pounding on William's chest.

William let out a cold laugh, "If she dares to have a miscarriage, I'll..."

"Don't say such unlucky things."

Yvonne interrupted him, "We need to make good use of this child.

With this child, the Qin family will have no choice but to continue supporting the Gu Group."

"You're right."

William nodded, "Once the child is born, we'll be able to completely control the Qin family.

By then, we can play with Serena Qin however we want."

"If you ask me, why don't we add something to her food."

Yvonne smiled sinisterly, "to make her obediently listen and forever be a breeding tool..."

I couldn't bear to listen anymore and staggered backward, my heart wrenching like a knife.

I had always thought I was the Gu family's daughter-in-law, William's wife.

But in the end, I was nothing more than a pawn in their eyes, a tool to be played with at will.

I held back my tears and quickly returned to the living room.

Thinking of William and Yvonne, those adulterous scoundrels, I just felt a wave of nausea.

I sent a message to William, "I've already put the divorce agreement on the coffee table in the living room, just waiting for you to sign it."

I leaned weakly on the sofa, waiting for them to come out.

William saw me in the living room and froze for a moment, then picked up the document on the coffee table as if he had just noticed it and flipped through it.

His face instantly changed.

"Serena Qin! What do you mean?."

William slammed the divorce agreement on my face, his already messy hair becoming even messier due to anger. "You really want to divorce me over a small matter?!"

I wiped the papers off my face and looked at him coldly, saying hoarsely word by word, "Yes, divorce."

"Serena Qin! Don't regret it."

William was shaking with anger, pointing at my nose and cursing, "Don't think I don't know, you're just jealous of Yvonne and deliberately targeting her! I'm telling you, Yvonne is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you, you..."

"Enough."

I abruptly stood up, feeling a sharp pain in my abdomen, but I couldn't care less anymore. "William, search your conscience.

Over these years, how much have I done for the Gu family? When have I ever mistreated your family?!"

"But what about you? Have you been fair to me? Have you been fair to this marriage? I've only been considerate of both our reputations and haven't exposed you."

I grew more and more agitated as I spoke, my chest heaving violently.

The pain in my abdomen felt like it was tearing me apart, making my vision go black.

William's face was pale, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

At this moment, Yvonne stepped forward.

She walked to William's side, gently patted his shoulder, and said softly, "Mr.Gu, don't be upset.

Miss Qin is just momentarily not thinking clearly.

She'll be fine once she calms down."

As she spoke, she raised her head, and her eyes looking at me were filled with pity and...

smugness.
