The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky

For the past three years, he worked like a horse in the Mansons’ company every single day, yet his salary had to be handed over to his wife Marilyn whom he could not even get without touching distance.

By the time he came home at night, he had to do laundry, mop, cook, and do all sorts of housework. Still, he worked hard without complaining.

“Don’t call me by my first name. You’re not worthy to be addressing me like that!”

Helen had an expression of disgust and contempt.

Leon remained silent and refrained from talking back.
