Chapter 361


    As Liam drove into the residential area, he could not help but feel as though the security guard was


    looking at him weirdly.


    Nheless, he was in a happy mood and could not be bothered by the guard.


    He was still wondering where Tanya had gotten herself such a powerful ally to have her back. They had


    pulled so many strings just so he would divorce Tanya.


    However, Liam was certain that he would still be gaining. After all, as long as he divorced Tanya, he


    would earn a lot from the deals worth six hundred thousand that they had signed.


    In the past two years, it had been getting increasingly challenging for their business. Not only did they


    have muchpetition, but their small factory had been overshadowed by multiple big ones, so much


    so that they had been struggling to stay afloat. The fact that they could earn six hundred thousand in


    six months would mean that they were set for the rest of the year even if they did not work a day.


    When Liam found out that all his worries regarding supplies would be solved the moment he divorced


    Tanya, he was beyond ecstatic. He was so ted that he no was no longer troubled by the fact that


    Ximena had left him. Why, then, should the guard''s side eye bother him?


    Liam had gone back to get the divorce certificate. When he got out of the elevator, he bumped into his


    next-door neighbor, who was about to throw out the trash.


    Having never been one to make friends with his neighbors, Liam did not bother to greet his neighbor as


    he walked by.


    To his surprise, when his neighbor saw him, she muttered, “What a bad omen.” Liam frowned. Turning


    around, he called out to his neighbor. “Hold on a second, Ma''am. What does that mean? Why am I a


    bad omen? You''re not leaving until you give me an exnation!”


    Thinking that he was being reasonable for once, Liam was sure that his neighbor would at least give


    him an exnation.


    Never did he expect his neighbor to scoff at him. “Is it not a curse to any woman who got themselves


    involved with a sc*mbag like you? Tanya told us everything! She did not run away with her lover. You


    made her leave by bringing home a mistress! If it ends there, that''s fine. What I can''t believe is the


    audacity of the Mill family to expect Tanya to leave without anything. Hah! What a shameless family you


    lot are!”


    Liam was not living with his parents, but his folks were living just one floor above them. When they


    were looking for a house, his mother did not like the idea of him living far away from them, so she


    bought the unit above theirs and moved in along with the newlyweds. Until that day, they were still


    living there.


    Indeed, scandals as such would always spread like wildfire. The rumor that Tanya had run away with a


    lover was started by Ximena for the sake of her own dignity. As for Liam, he had chosen to remain


    silent for the sake of the baby Ximena was carrying.


    He had never expected that there would be a day when Tanya would rify the truth.


    A blush crept onto Liam''s neck as he tried to defend himself. Before he could even speak, the neighbor


    cut him off, “Don''t bother denying it. Everyone here saw you bringing back your mistress with our own


    eyes! The Mill family is such a prominent family in our neighborhood. If you want to cheat, then go


    ahead. But how could you cheat out in the open? Tanya has been married to you for over two years


    and has served you and your family diligently. She took care of all the chores and even cleaned your


    parents'' house on the weekends. Where can you find a better wife than her? But you know what?


    Good for her for divorcing you! Let me give you a piece of advice. Dig deep into your soul and find


    whatever piece of humanity you have left in you. Don''t paint Tanya as the viin after your divorce. We


    all have eyes that see the truth!”


    Retired women''s favorite pastime was gossiping their boredom away.


    No matter how strong-willed Liam was, he knew he could not win a debate against someone like that.


    Moreover, the neighbor was telling the truth. As Liam stood there, his face turned purple in fury. Unable


    to withstand it any longer, he took out his keys and unlocked his door.


    The second he stepped foot into the house, he was dumbstruck.


    Have I been robbed?


    Liam stared at his empty house. Nothing was left except for his four walls. Even robbers do not have


    the ability to clear out everything.


    It didn''t take long for Liam to figure out who was behind it. Despite being married to Tanya for two


    years, he had not expected her to have the gall to do something like that.


    Whipping out his phone, he punched in the digits furiously without hesitation. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Because they would be getting divorced that afternoon, Tanya had unblocked Liam from her contacts.


    The three of them had just been seated at a restaurant when Tanya''s phone began to ring.


    Thinking that it was her mother, Tanya reached for her phone. As she nced at the caller ID, her


    brows knitted together.


    Flipping through the menu, Sophia noticed Tanya''s reaction and smiled. “Is that Liam?”


    Tanya raised her head to look at Sophia. “Yeah.” She nodded.


    Putting down her order, Sophia passed the menu to Yvonne before asking Tanya, “Would you mind


    putting him on speaker?”


    Tanya immediately handed Sophia the phone. Upon epting the call, Sophia did not forget to turn on


    the speakers.


    Liam''s furious voice immediately sounded from the other end of the call. “You sure have gotten


    audacious, eh, Tanya? Threatening me to divorce you is one thing. How dare you tell everyone in the


    residential area about the fact that I cheated? Do you really think that you have backed me into the


    wall?”


    As he finished speaking, Liam let out a frustrated howl. “If you don''t get someone to bring back all the


    furniture, you can wait by yourself in front of the City Hallter!”


    As if thinking that his words were not threatening enough, Liam added, “Do you believe that I have the


    ability to kill you and the rest of your family, Tanya?”


    That was the first time that Liam had ever been so humiliated in his entire life.


    If thements of his neighbor had sent him on edge, seeing the house void of furniture had


    sessfully pushed him over. Liam had officially lost it.


    Tanya was grateful that she was not in front of Liam at the moment. Otherwise, he would have hit her


    so hard that she would not even dare bring up the divorce.


    No matter what, Tanya was still afraid of Liam. She was married to him for two years. In the first six


    months, they had been on their honeymoon period. However, things changed once the butterflies were


    gone. The Mill family was one of the better-off families in the area. Liam had been spoiled ever since


    young. He began showing his true colors, scolding her for every small mistake she made and even


    hitting her.


    Tanya had endured all that hardship for the sake of her parents. It was until the news of Liam having a


    mistress went public did she bring up the divorce.


    However, after years of being subjected to his abuse, Tanya had learned to be obedient and


    submissive for the sake of her own safety.


    Even though she had made the decision to walk out of his life, the fear she had for him could still be


    found deep in her heart.


    When Tanya heard Liam''s threat, colors drained from her face.


    She cast a helpless look at Sophia. At that moment, the only person she could trust was Sophia.


    Upon noticing her fear, Yvonne reached for Tanya''s hand. “Don''t worry, Ms. Gomez. Ms. Yarrow is


    here. No one is going to bully you.”


    Sophia turned off the loudspeaker and ced the phone to her ear. “Then do you believe that I can


    also make your life a living hell so much so that you will wish to die instead, Mr. Mill?”


    A hint of a smile could be detected in her voice as Sophia spoke. It was as though she was saying


    something as innocent asmenting on the weather. However, there was an edge to her voice that


    could send shivers down one''s spine.


    Liam froze. He clenched his hand so tightly around the phone that his hand began to shake. Gritting his


    teeth, he forced his voice to be even. “Ms. Yarrow, I have already agreed to divorce Tanya. The


    truth of my cheating is also out in the open now. And yet, she cleared out all the furniture in my house.


    How is that reasonable?”


    “All that she cleared out was furniture that she had hand-picked for the house. Now that you two are


    about to be divorced, she has just taken away the things that rightfully belong to her. How is that


    unreasonable?”


    Sophia paused momentarily before continuing, “Mr. Mill, I don''t have much patience. Tanya could wait


    forever to divorce you, but I believe that your familypany can''t afford to wait that long. This


    afternoon, two o''clock. If you''re even one minutete, I''ll see you in court.”


    With that, Sophia hung up the call and ced the phone next to Tanya before shing a reassuring


    smile. “Don''t worry, Tanya. If he doesn''t show up, we''ll sue him for bigamy.”


    Taken aback by Sophia''sment, Tanya stammered, “C-Can we do that?”


    Sophia rested her chin on her hand as she blinked innocently at Tanya. “Do I look like I''m lying?”


    Staring into Sophia''s bright eyes, Tanya felt the fear and anxiety in her heart vanish into thin air. As her


    shoulders slumped in relief, Tanya smiled. “Not at all.”
