155.Chapter 155

The root of everything stemmed from Philip’s infidelity

A hypocritical man who feigned being a dignified elite in public but vented his frustrations on his wife and children at home, paired with a woman who was strong–willed, combative, and outspoken but not gentle or caring

Their union was a recipe for unhappiness, their marriage devoid of joy.

Jennifer recalled her unfortunate childhood. Though she was now 28, she epitomed the saying that those who suffer misfortune spend their whole lives healing their childhood wounds

“When I was almost five, I witnessed Philip’s infidelity with my own eyes. He was in the bedroom with another woman, hugging and flirting. They were about to undress when he noticed me watching through the door crack

“He walked over, opened the door, slapped me hard, and yelled, ‘You little brat, what are you looking at?

“I covered my face and asked him, Dad, who is that woman? And guess what? That mistress, without saying a word, walked over and slapped me too–once, twice… I can still clearly remember, she slapped me six times in total

“I was not even five years old. Philip just stood there coldly, watching his mistress hit me. Haha… I saw his indifference. Then he grabbed my arm and warned me not to tell Evelyn, or else they’d both keep hitting me.

“I was really scared at the time, just nodding frantically. Then the mistress left. Philip immediately put on a different face He smiled at me and said that the woman was just a friend. He told me to behave, to keep quiet, and not tell Evelyn anything.

“Otherwise, he’d divorce Evelyn, and we wouldn’t have a big house to live in and wouldn’t have pretty clothes to wear. I didn’t understand what he was saying. I just saw him smiling while glaring at me and gripping my arm tightly, I cried and said, ‘1 won’t tell Mommy

“That night, Evelyn came home. Half–asleep, I overheard the two of them arguing. Evelyn was hitting Philip, saying that if it weren’t for the two daughters, she would’ve divorced him long ago. She said their marriage was a mistake and wanted to leave it all behind.

“Philip replied that they couldn’t divorce yet because his parents had a pension fund. If they divorced too soon, the money wouldn’t go to him. Evelyn scolded him, saying that all he ever thought about was money, and that he had no conscience.

“That weekend, Philip’s client invited him to go hiking. Evelyn insisted we go with him. Looking back, I think Evelyn must have already sensed Philip’s infidelity, so she didn’t want to leave him alone.”
