On my birthday, Ethan brought his petite secretary to attend my birthday party.
Melody was wearing the same dress as me, and people around us were whispering and staring at me.
"At her age, she's still trying to dress like a young girl."
As I shifted my gaze, I noticed that the necklace Melody was wearing was also identical to mine.
But this necklace was the one Ethan had bought for me on my birthday last year, and it was supposed to be one-of-a-kind worldwide.
Melody, taking advantage of the crowd, shoved me and whispered mockingly in my ear, "An old hag like you only deserves to wear fakes."
I lost my balance and fell into the swimming pool.
Crawling out of the water in a mess, I was ready to slap Melody back, but as I raised my hand, it was stopped before I could follow through.
"Scarlett, look at yourself! What a mess!"
It was Ethan. I looked at him in disbelief.
He said, "If you don't want to enjoy your birthday, then get out."
I pushed him away and left the banquet hall alone.
Behind me, he jeered, "Good riddance. At least you won't embarrass yourself here anymore."
And so, on my 28th birthday, I found myself walking alone to a law firm.
"Hello, I'd like to file for divorce."

"You're right to want to avoid the issue, aren't you?"


He stared at me intently, as if trying to see straight through my eyes into the depths of my heart.


I shifted uncomfortably. "What am I avoiding?"


"You know exactly what I'm talking about."


"Scarlett, I know you're not a coward. Hiding here won't solve anything."


"I hope you can face what's in your heart and live the life you truly want."


It wasn't until I left the West that I realized I'd forgotten to ask him how he knew what kind of person I was.


I moved to a new city and used the money my mom left me to open a vet clinic. I also rescued stray cats, treating them and then finding them homes.


I hoped that no more kittens in this world would die from illness.


As for Ethan, I submitted evidence of his betrayal to the law firm and filed for divorce.


Ethan quickly tracked down my new address.


"Scarlett, what's the meaning of this? Are you dead set on divorcing me?"
