hello Amy please come to ISA restaurant across from the station right away the whole family is here waiting for you Isa restaurant you mean that French restaurant place what do you mean the whole family is waiting actually I reserve the place I even invited the family members who usually can't make it the cost will be around $20,000 and I'll be paying with your credit card please hurry with that my husband James hung up the phone am I paying $20,000 that's ridiculous I just stood there in disbelief but honestly I wasn't surprised I was just shocked
by how foolish my husband was he really doesn't get it despite having everything under control my husband is putting himself in a terrible situation and I'm seriously thinking about pushing him over the edge with that thought I left the house 20 minutes later I arrived at ISA restaurant James was waiting alone and greeted me with a creepy smile that didn't match the fancy restaurant he said the relatives were already in another room and he started talking proudly Amy like I said earlier I'm going to use your credit card freely it may seem tough but a
wife's money belongs to her husband it's only natural for a wife to support her husband right you don't have any complaints do you I was speechless this was unbelievable foolishness according to James 25 relatives had gathered and he had booked an expensive meal that cost $800 per person Isa restaurant is indeed a French restaurant place known for offering highquality meals at reasonable prices but my husband purposely chose the most expensive $800 option it's like he enjoys making his wife suffer completely unaware of the mess he's getting himself into James seemed pretty pleased with himself in
this ridiculous situation and all I could do was laugh a wife's wallet belongs to her husband it's natural for a wife to support her husband well you know I stopped that a month ago what you stopped being a wife you can't just quit like that divorce requires formal procedures you know that right James you don't understand anything if you did you wouldn't have reserved such an expensive place how do you plan to pay without money are you planning to dine and dash I would never do something so foolish let me say it again I'm going
to pay with your credit card if you don't like it I'll really make you stop being my wife right after he said that I pulled out a document and shoved it in front of him showing just how clueless he was I cancelled the credit card a month ago here's the cancellation certificate I brought it because I knew you wouldn't believe me the card is useless now so I'll ask again with no money what are you going to do are you planning to run away what I can't use your credit card that's impossible that cancellation certificate
must be fake after all the credit card I took was from your purse if it was really cancelled why would you keep it in your purse so you're not even hiding that you took it from my purse I left the canceled card in there because I thought you might try to steal it you were completely tricked poor thing Amy what's with that attitude it's not acceptable for a wife to speak to her husband like that James thinks he's better than me so being outsmarted by someone he sees as beneath him must be unbearable his frustration
peaked and he started raising his voice without caring who heard him even though we were in a corner of the restaurant his voice carried and the staff began to notice the place started to buzz with Whispers looking around James quickly forced a smile and tried to calm things down acting like everything was fine but the Whispers didn't stop James's face turned red with embarrassment but compared to what was coming this was nothing soon after my in-laws came over to me it seems James's loud voice had reached the relatives as well James what are you doing
the relatives are all shocked you're disturbing other guests too look everyone is watching I just got a little excited it's nothing serious so don't worry it seemed my in-laws hadn't caught the details of our conversation and looked confused but they didn't say anything more James was smiling slightly trying to smooth things over but he was probably relieved inside that his parents-in-law had shown up he only shows his true self to me especially since he works for the company his father runs in front of him James always pretends to be the perfect husband I also look
shocked just like my in-laws but James gave me a stern look and silently warned me don't say anything unnecessary I won't forgive you if you do I could feel the pressure from him he has always tried to scare me and control me with Force I used to be afraid and would do what he wanted but this time I couldn't take it anymore J inviting the relatives turned out to be the perfect chance to show everyone his true colors I started talking to my in-laws about who was going to pay the bill James planned to use
my credit card I explained he took the card for my purse and reserved this restaurant without asking me my in-laws were shocked that credit card was actually canceled a month ago but James doesn't know that and was planning to use it anyway he doesn't have any money so how does he plan to pay wait a minute Amy they said confused are you saying James took your card and plann to pay for today's meal with it Jane said he would cover the cost which is about $220,000 but if what you're saying is true was he really
planning to make you pay $20,000 that's hard to believe could this be a misunderstanding my in-laws were clearly upset which is the usual reaction even though it sounds unbelievable it's the truth trying to hide what was really happening James started talking in a cheerful tone with a forced smile Amy is mistaken I plan to treat everyone at my own expense I'll settle the bill so don't worry with those words James walked over to the cashier to pay throwing a creepy smile my way it was obvious he didn't believe that I had really canceled the credit
card even after I showed him the cancellation certificate after a while James returned with a smile and my in-laws seemed relieved that the payment had been taken care of but I could sense James's tension he must have been panicking inside realizing that things were going wrong because the credit card didn't work that was no surprise since I had definitely canceled it the only option left for him was to pay the $20,000 himself but he couldn't do that I also knew knew what he was hiding in that moment I gave him a cold stare and said
tell the truth before things get worse my words made him nervous and his face changed after thinking for a moment he finally admitted the truth sorry Dad Mom I really couldn't make the payment Amy's credit card was actually cancelled is that true were you planning to use Amy's card to pay his parents asked it's a misunderstanding he tried to explain it's true I intended to pay today's expenses with Amy's credit card and I had discussed this with her I was just shocked to find out the card was already cancelled I apologize but I'll have to
ask for help to cover this myself I promise I'll repay you he was mixing lies with the truth trying to find a way out of the situation with surprising boldness then he leaned over and whispered to me why did you cancel the credit card are you trying to to embarrass me why it's simple I didn't want you to use it without my permission I replied firmly the real issue isn't the embarrassment it's the fact that you were using the card without my consent he looked at me surprised by my bold response and quickly said be
quiet don't talk about this here keeping a canceled card in your purse just causes confusion but it seemed my in-laws had overheard our conversation and they turned to James with a stern look James what are you doing you tried to use Amy's card taking it from her purse without permission is unacceptable oh well there were reasons James stammered struggling to find the right words when his father pressed him sensing the opportunity I decided to explain everything in detail wanting to reveal his true nature to his parents for the past year James has barely been home
at first I thought it was because he was busy with work since your company is quite large father-in-law but then James started going out even on holidays and missing important dates like my birthday and our anniversary on top of that he began paying more attention to his appearance and started using my credit card without my permission my in-laws exchanged worried looks clearly sensing something was very wrong I asked James if we could spend more time together as a couple and if he could stop using the credit card without asking me first but he argued that
it's natural for a wife to support her husband and didn't listen worse he even threatened me with divorce and showed me a divorce form he had already signed divorce my father-in-law exclaimed in Surprise have you been making Amy suffer this much my mother-in-law asked raising her voice my father-in-law stared sternly at his son son realizing that his belief in James being an ideal husband was shattered there was still hope that James would admit his mistakes but instead he tried to defend himself no that's not it what Amy is saying isn't true I need to look
after my appearance because I'm preparing to take over as president the meetings I attend on weekends are networking events and seminars all part of my job what's wrong with using joint funds for work related expenses if I stop earning my wife would suffer too James said trying desperately to justify his actions my in-laws stayed quiet perhaps finding some logic in James explanation and hesitating to criticize him however I knew the truth and his excuses didn't matter oh really can you still say it's part of your job after seeing this I said deciding to show more
evidence to my in-laws from my handbag I pulled out a document that listed dates store names and amounts spent what is this they asked this is a credit card statement as you can see it shows purchases of luxury items for women why would you buy things like that I asked holding up the document James quickly tried to grab it from me but I moved his hand away and looked at him demanding answers why did you buy luxury items for women with my credit card cosmetics and jewelry aren't needed for your job are they can you
explain this H those were gifts for the women at work for their birthdays it's important to be liked by women in business you know the expense was necessary James said sounding unsure his explanation was confusing but considering his position at work there might have been some truth to it saying it was for birthday gifts might seem reasonable but but this time his parents didn't believe him whatever the reason the fact remains you used Amy's card without permission if it was really necessary you should have talked it over with her buying luxury Brands just because female
colleagues asked for them doesn't seem believable I'm sorry I apologize for using my wife's card James finally admitted I promise I'll never do it again please forgive me my husband pleaded making an apologetic gesture toward me and his parents however my father-in-law's anger didn't fade easily he sternly warned my husband just because you're married doesn't mean you can use someone else's credit card without permission and since the amount is significant make sure to pay Amy back for the money you spent all right I'll refund the money my husband said looking downcast and appearing thoughtful but
I wasn't convinced did he really think I didn't know he was still hiding something this was just the beginning of the real challenge my husband his parents and I headed to the room where the other relatives were waiting once there I took out my smartphone from my bag and pressed the play button the sudden sound surprised my husband and he stared at me in disbelief his face quickly turning pale the audio was a conversation between him and a woman where he was insulting me and the woman was saying hurry up and divorce your wife the
family members around us were shocked by what they heard James who is this woman I asked oh well um my husband desperately searched for an excuse his parents glared at him angrily and the relatives were horrified by the situation my husband was now facing another crisis right after the credit card issue without a moment to recover there's no hiding it anymore you having an affair weren't you I said firmly my husband started sweating and quickly shouted that's not true I'm not having an affair it was wrong of me to speak badly about you but she's
just a friend and we were just hanging out by the way when did you record this Eve's dropping is illegal although he admitted to insulting me he kept denying the affair and tried to shift the focus onto me blaming me for recording the conversation but I wasn't backing down I explained the facts so he couldn't escape James I've been keeping an eye on you for a while the credit card history made the affair obvious that's why while you pretended to go to work I installed a listening device in your car a listening device in the
car that's ridiculous as I said earlier EES dropping is illegal do you understand that if it's to gather evidence of infidelity it's not illegal as long as it's not used for stalking or anything similar I responded firmly showing that I wasn't going to back down I was ready to do whatever it took to uncover the truth focusing on my own well-being and finding Justice in our troubled relationship my husband fell silent realizing he couldn't justify his actions but he still couldn't admit the truth instead he turned to his parents and relatives saying everyone please don't
believe what she's saying she's trying to trap me I haven't been unfaithful sighing I tossed a document in front of him and the relatives what is this he asked looking uneasy what do you think it is it's a demand for compensation as soon as I said that my husband's face turned pale the document was a compensation claim I had sent to his mistress through an investigation it was confirmed that he was having an affair with a woman named lelli so so I went to Lily and demanded compensation from her before coming to him you met
Lily directly and demanded compensation what were you thinking my husband was so shocked he couldn't speak but really he had no right to blame me while ignoring his own mistakes surprised but she told me everything she didn't hide your wrongdoings you were buying luxury items for her with my credit card weren't you the excuse about gifts for female employees was obviously a lie it was all for her Lily admitted everything and because of my credit card she agreed to pay compensation that's why I brought this compensation claim my husband looked up at the sky his
face full of Despair I waved the compensation claim in front of him showing it off unable to hide his irritation he raised his voice saying damn to think you planned all this without me knowing you're truly a cunning wife I was your wife but that's in the past I told you a month ago that I quit didn't you hear in fact the divorce papers have already been submitted I'm just an acquaintance now did you really submit the divorce papers why are you surprised I simply submitted the divorce papers you waved in my face to try
to trouble me everything was done through the proper procedures any complaints but you shouldn't just file for divorce on your own divorcing without discussion is unreasonable it might be unreasonable but that doesn't change the fact that you used my credit card without permission that's why I filed the divorce papers on my own this matter is now settled my husband was left speechless clearly shocked by my actions he hadn't expected any of this my in-laws and other relatives who were watching seemed to finally realize that my story was true using Amy's credit card without permission and
having an affair to think we believed you two were happily married and you were committing such betrayals they said their faces filled with anger the entire family sternly reprimanded my husband my father-in-law spoke firmly this marks the end of our relationship as parent and child Additionally you are fired from the company fired just for an affair this is too harsh think about it calmly my husband protested at that moment a sharp snap echoed through the room my mother-in-law had slapped my husband hard across the cheek tears filled her eyes a mix of sadness pity and
disappointment just an affair you're the one who's wrong James you plan to hurt Amy and then just run away her voice was filled with anger and my husband had nothing to say in response All Eyes in the room stared coldly at him Mir and Affair he had said revealing his irresponsibility he had always proclaimed my wife's money is mine a wife should devote herself to her husband such selfish attitudes were unforgivable for a moment he remained silent but then with stubborn Defiance he slowly raised his head and declared it doesn't matter if I'm divorced or
fired I'm going to be with Lily what did you say everyone was shocked as my husband openly revealed his plans to marry another woman right after our divorce he then confidently declared I am skilled enough to work at any company without a problem my father's company is worthless as long as I have Lily that's all I need I truly love her marrying her is all that matters to me my in-laws were stunned by his words even after being pushed into a divorce cut off by his family and losing his job my husband still remained defiant
but his arrogance was about to hit a wall you might not know this but Lily has been seeing several other men as well I revealed that's a lie Lily loves only me you're just jealous and making this up he shouted back refusing to believe it but it's the truth she has relationships with multiple men and you weren't the most important to her not the most important yes you weren't that sign ific to her in fact she paid the compensation to me quickly to avoid any problems I can't believe it I didn't think Lily was that
kind of woman the idea that she had feelings for you was just a delusion you were being used by the way the compensation she paid me was actually funded by another man she was seeing that's a lie there's no way ly would deceive me we are going to get married nothing you do can stop us my husband still couldn't accept the truth so I calmly confronted him with the reality it's time for you to understand that you've been abandoned haven't you noticed that you haven't been able to reach Lily lately your calls and messages aren't
going through right now that I mentioned it my husband hesitated he started to realize what was happening in short you are no longer needed you've been blocked I am no longer needed yes exactly do you understand now there's nothing left for you this is what happens when you deceive others after hearing this he collapsed to his knees and bowed his head please Amy I'm truly sorry please forgive me he pleaded it seemed he finally realized his situation please reconsider the divorce please reverse the firing he begged bowing repeatedly to me and his parents but everyone
had already moved away from him it's too late for apologies now I will demand a fair division of our property and the money you wasted using my credit card a person like you is just a nuisance to any organization if you think you can work somewhere else go ahead and try it will be worthless please don't leave me like this I'm reflecting on my actions can I have just one more chance he continued his voice filled with tears he appealed to his father but my former father father-in-law having given up on his son ignored him
and hurried out of the restaurant his wife followed and the relatives also began to leave showing no further interest in my husband well I'll settle the payment then I said what you're paying the $20,000 he asked in disbelief of course I'll bill it later I replied with a sweet smile he muttered something as he collapsed onto his knees today because of my re retaliation became the most painful day for him however this story is not yet over his ordeal will continue after the incident I returned to my parents house but for the past few days
I've been receiving numerous missed calls all of them from my ex-husband to James the phone is still ringing Non-Stop and I know exactly why I had been ignoring his calls on purpose but this time I decided to answer to deliver the final blow Amy you finally answered please help me I'm really in trouble James pleaded it sounds like a tough situation what happened are you trying to escape debt collectors I asked calmly what how did you know that did someone tell you he replied shocked no I found out on my own James you've racked up
a lot of debt haven't you not only were you giving money to your mistress but I also heard you've been paying your co-workers to do your job despite their refusals you forced them by using your position as the boss's son you used underhanded tactics to keep up appearances at the company enjoying Affairs in your free time and took on debt just to live how you wanted such foolish actions on the day the family gathered at the fancy restaurant when it was discovered that the credit card had been cancelled James had no choice but to pay
the $20,000 himself but I knew he couldn't do it I had already found out about his significant debt James this is all the result of your own actions but you're capable aren't you leaving your father's company shouldn't be a problem right well the truth is I haven't found another job yet all my interviews have been unsuccessful and I'm being chased by debt collectors it's wearing me down mentally he confessed that's exactly what I expected from someone who push their work onto others to make themselves look good even if you find another job it won't last
don't you get that my words hit him hard and he couldn't respond unless he reflects on his actions and changes his ways he'll keep making the same mistakes over and over if things continue like this he'll only face more misery even without my intervention Amy I truly regret everything I should have valued you more and worked sincerely at my father's company but I neglected all that I'm genuinely sorry won't you consider starting over with me he begged I must say it's impossible to try again I believe people can change but some actions are unforgivable you
didn't just deceive me you deceived many others who trusted you you need to pay the price for that and of course you will fully repay the property Division and the money you miss used escaping is not an option after hearing the silence on the other end I calmly ended the call 10 days later I heard more about James's recent situation from my former in-laws as expected he hadn't found a stable job and ended up asking his family for support I need help because we're family is it okay for your son to end up like this
he pleaded desperately it was frustrating to see him ignore and deceive his family and relatives only to turn to them for help when he was in trouble his self-centered behavior is something I've always noticed James has lived comfortably because of the help and support from those around him but I've never heard him express any gratitude if I had seen his true nature before getting married I would have never gone through with it I deeply regret enduring everything alone without asking anyone for advice if I had reached out to my in-laws or other relatives sooner maybe
my future would have turned out differently from now on I'll be more honest with myself aiming to become stronger and more determined it's time to say goodbye to the weaker version of myself and step forward with a firm resolve into a new beginning
