I pressed the answer button, and Vivian's anxious voice came out from the receiver.

"Dad, what do you mean?"

"My mom has cheated on me, if you don't divorce me, are you going to keep me here for the New Year?"

She became more and more excited as she spoke.

"Don't be afraid of lawsuits! My classmate's mother is a lawyer..."

Before she could finish, I took a deep breath and interrupted her coldly.

"I won't leave you, and this matter ends here!"

After saying that, I hung up the phone with a snap.

In my previous life, netizens were furious and wanted to kill me.

After my father-in-law accused me of cheating on me, the woman who claimed to be my third party started crying online and said that she was pregnant with my child.

In this life, I secretly found out the hospital where the woman had her prenatal checkup, asked an acquaintance who worked there to help me get the puncture cells, and immediately went to do a paternity test.

Unexpectedly, the baby in her belly is really mine!

But I don't even know her! How could I possibly have a child with her?

One mystery after another makes me breathless.

My intuition tells me that if I don’t find out the truth as soon as possible, I will repeat the same mistakes in this life.

And this woman's accusation was the main reason that dragged me into the abyss in my previous life.

Thinking of this, I immediately hired a private detective at a high price to help me investigate some things.

I have to find out what's going on with this kid.

Where did those so-called evidences of infidelity come from?

But unexpectedly, before I could find out the results, I received a divorce lawsuit from the court.

As soon as I entered the courtroom, my father-in-law, Robert Brooks, suddenly stood up, pointed at me angrily, and cursed.

"Michael Carter, you bastard! How did my daughter ever wrong you? When we got married, she didn't take Dowry or the house, and she even risked her life to give you children. And yet you're keeping an extra behind her back!"

"A ungrateful person like you, who has no moral bottom line, should be struck by lightning!"

He gritted his teeth and even wanted to rush over to fight me, but was stopped by the bailiff next to him.

After being pushed back to his seat, the father-in-law was still indignant.

"Your Honor, please make the decision for us!"

"My daughter is so outstanding. Even if she gets divorced, she can find someone better!"

"This scumbag should be kicked out of the house! Don't give him a penny!"

At this moment, another figure stood up.

It's my father, Richard Carter.

His face was pale, and the look he gave me was filled with disappointment and shame.

"Michael, how could you do such a thing? Sarah is so good to you, why are you so unsatisfied! You have to go out and cheat on her?"

"After we get divorced, I will sever all ties with you as father and son! Our Carter family can't afford to lose this person!"

He even raised his hand, wanting to slap me like in his previous life.

Seeing the disgust in his eyes, I felt extremely bitter.

Even if others don’t believe me, I accept it.

But he is my biological father, the person who knows me best in this world. I don’t understand why he is unwilling to believe me.

He didn't even think about verifying it with me and just stood against me.

However, I am no longer in the mood to worry about these things.

I looked at everyone expressionlessly and said coldly,

"I didn't cheat! So I won't be kicked out of the house!"

"Those so-called evidences are all fake. Someone is deliberately trying to harm me!"

The judge looked at me seriously.

"Defendant, you deny the evidence presented by the other party. Do you have any evidence to the contrary?"

I choked. The private detective's investigation results haven't come out yet.

I really don't have any evidence right now.

But unexpectedly, this scene was seen by everyone and became a sign of guilt.

The defendant's seat suddenly exploded.

"Oh my god, he looked so polite, but I didn't expect him to be so shameless!"

"That's right. His wife treats him so well, yet he still cheats on her. How disgusting! He still refuses to admit it. He's really not going to cry until he sees the coffin!"

"No wonder his wife wants to sue him and kick him out of the house. He deserves it! A man who is unfaithful to his marriage should be hit by a car when he goes out!"

Someone even threw a drink at me and splashed it all over me.

I could no longer bear it, and at this moment, a familiar voice sounded at the entrance of the court.

"I have evidence!"

Vivian, wearing a school uniform and with an anxious and restless look on her face, walked in quickly.

She was carrying a schoolbag and holding a brown paper bag in her hand. She glanced at the furious grandpa and the grim-faced grandfather in the audience, and finally looked at me.

"I am Vivian, the daughter of the plaintiff Sarah and the defendant Michael!"

"I'm going to sue my mother, Sarah! She betrayed our family and cheated on Mr. Reynolds at the company! If we divorce, she has to leave the house!"

I sighed. I didn't expect that what was supposed to come would eventually come.

If you didn’t know, you would think she was here to support me.

Only I know what her purpose is.

The court was silent for a moment, then exploded again.

"Holy crap! A daughter is suing her mother? This is putting justice above her own family!"

"Oh my god, what a twist! Is this daughter here to clear her father of suspicion of infidelity? Such courage, deserves praise!"

"I told you there's a twist! Look, the plaintiff's face is turning green!"

Sarah's face changed drastically. She, who had just been determined to win, suddenly stood up from the plaintiff's seat, shaking with anger.

"Vivian, what are you talking about? Get out of here!"

Vivian was not afraid at all. She quickly pulled out a few photos from her file bag. They were the ones she had sent me.

"I'm not kidding! I have proof!"

"My mother, Sarah, maintained an improper relationship with her husband, Mr. Reynolds, while still married. This is evidence that she betrayed my father!"

As she said this, she turned to me with a determined look in her eyes.

"Dad! A woman like my mom who is unfaithful in her marriage is not worth your lingering feelings at all! I support your divorce! Let my mom leave the house with nothing!"

"She doesn't deserve a single cent of this house!"

After seeing the photo, the whole audience was in an uproar, and the criticism immediately turned to Sarah, whose face was ashen.

"What a good boy! He's willing to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice to clear his father's name. He's truly Dad's little cotton-padded jacket!"

"That's right, I don't need a mother like that. I'll just support my daughter!"

"Yes, those who cheat should be kicked out!"

Sarah was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing at Vivian and me, and yelling at me.

"Bullshit! You and your daughter must have colluded to frame me!"

"Michael, you scumbag, did you instigate your daughter to harm me?"

"I'm going to kill both of you!"

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she suddenly walked around the table, rushed to the dock in a few steps, raised her arm, and was about to slap me in the face.

The bailiff was quick to act and quickly stepped forward to stop them.

In a flash, I was pushed hard by someone and the briefcase in my arms flew out of my hands.

The paternity test report that was casually clipped in there fell right in front of everyone.

I cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" and hurried to pick it up, but it was too late.

The entire courtroom was in an uproar.

"What the hell! What's going on? This guy actually has an illegitimate child?"

"No wonder he refuses to divorce. The house and car belong to her. If they divorce, he'll be left with nothing. How will he support the other woman and the bastard child she's expecting?"

"Exactly. A son-in-law who married into the family and still wants a share of the family fortune? Just now, my daughter only said that her mother cheated on her, but I didn't expect that her father's cheating was also true! Both her parents are not good people. This child is so miserable!"

My father-in-law in the audience was completely defeated and started cursing at me.

"Michael, you're a scumbag! You already have an illegitimate child outside, and you still refuse to leave the house!"

"I knew you were up to no good! You want to use our Brooks family's wealth to support a bastard child? Dream on!"

My dad Richard's face turned pale and his whole body was shaking.

The look he gave me was filled with only despair and disgust.

Vivian glanced at the pregnancy test report, a flash of shock flashed in her eyes, but then she stood by my side with an eager look on her face.

"Dad, I know why you don't want a divorce. You're afraid that if you get divorced, you won't have enough money to support your little brother, right?"

"The child is innocent. Once you and your mother divorce, I will work hard to make money and buy a house and a car for your brother."

"I'm the older sister, so I'm supposed to take care of my younger brother. You don't have to worry!"

But I sneered and stopped looking at her.

But the audience in the gallery was moved by Vivian's deep understanding of justice.

"This child has it really hard. Her father has cheated on her, but she still wants to make money to support her brother in the future. She's so kind!"

"Exactly. If it were you, I'd say both parents should leave the house and leave all their wealth to their daughter!"

Listening to everyone's discussions, a hint of pride flashed across Vivian's face.

At this moment, Sarah finally came to her senses when she heard the words "clean house and leave the house". She pointed at the paternity test and flew into a rage.

"Bullshit! Why should I be kicked out?!"

"Your Honor, all the money that the third party spent is our joint property. I have the right to recover it!"

"Unless Michael aborts the third party's bastard child, as the party at fault in the marriage, he must leave the house with nothing! Don't even think about taking a penny!"

Father-in-law Robert also slammed the table and agreed.

"Yes, a man who married into the family actually dared to support a third party? He must be taught a lesson!"

The curses and swearing of my father-in-law, the rage of my wife, the disgust of my father, and the flood of spitting from the audience almost swallowed me up.

But I ignored them and stared at Vivian and said,

"Vivian, are you sure you want to do this?"

Vivian blinked innocently.

"Dad, I don't understand what you're saying."

"The college entrance exam is coming up soon. If you and mom both cheated on me, it will definitely affect my exam results. But don't worry, I won't blame you."

"As long as you are happy, I'm fine with anything."

At this moment, the judge suddenly banged the gavel hard and asked the crucial question from the previous life.

He asked, if they divorced, who would Vivian live with in the future.

Vivian couldn't suppress the excitement in her eyes and was about to speak.

At this moment, my cell phone suddenly vibrated wildly.

It was a message from the private investigator.

It seems that he has found out who is the mastermind behind all this.

I guessed countless possibilities, but the moment I opened it, I was still frozen in place.

Unexpectedly, it was her.

And the reason why she did this made me dumbfounded.

But this time, I won't be soft-hearted.

Before Vivian could speak, I raised my phone and shouted,

"I can get a divorce, or I can leave the house with nothing."
