Chapter 579

Werner had never seen Cathy like that before. Usually, when she made a fuss about something, he would just buy her a little something to appease her, and things would go back to normal. But this time, she was beyond appeasing.

Realizing that Cathy was truly set on divorcing him this time, Werner suddenly cried in desperation. Cathy just stared at him, not wanting to give him the time of day.

Werner pleaded with Cathy, his voice trembling, “Cathy, I swear, this is my first and only mistake. I really don’t want to lose everything. Please, just forgive me this once, since it’s my first offense. I’ll never go to those kinds of places again.”

He was really done dirty by Liam. Liam even had someone get him wasted. None of this was his fault; it was all on them.

“Enough!” Cathy snapped, her voice trembling with rage. “This is exactly what I hate most about you. Why do you always shift the blame whenever something goes wrong? Have you no shame as a man?”

Werner’s gaze stiffened for a moment. Then he desperately vowed to Cathy again, “I swear, this is the only mistake I’ve ever made in my life. I promise, I’ve never done anything else to betray you.”

Cathy just couldn’t believe it. She refused to accept that this was the only time Werner had betrayed her. For the first time, she began to question their decades-long marriage.

Even with all his vows and promises that this was his only transgression, Cathy refused to believe a single word.

“I’m done with you. Why don’t you just go live with Liam? I’ll call Cheryl back and make sure she knows everything. So, from now on, you’ll never be able to show your face to our children again.”

Werner pleaded, “Why do you have to drag us both through the mud? If you go telling all our friends and relatives what I did, it won’t just be me who’s humiliated, and you’ll be embarrassed too. How will you ever show your face again?”

Cathy snapped at Werner, “You’re the one who should be ashamed. If you didn’t want to be laughed at, you should’ve kept your pants on. How dare you talk to me about saving face now?”

Werner pleaded, “I was completely wasted that night. I haven’t been that drunk in ages.”

“So, why’d you drink so much, then?” Cathy sneered, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Is there anything going on that I don’t already know about?”

Werner’s words died in his throat. That other matter was far more serious than this. It’s a secret he would have to take to his grave.

Werner pleaded, “Liam forced this on me. He kept insisting on getting me two women. I told him no. But I was so drunk, I honestly don’t even remember what happened after that. And when I went to Shaville, it was to confront him about this exact thing. I was actually trying to warn him to stay away from those kinds of places, too.”

Cathy sneered, utterly disappointed in Werner. “Still trying to weasel out of it, even now? Did Liam fake that medical report for you?”

Werner choked on his words. Cathy’s heart sank to the pit of her stomach as she saw his expression. “Get out of here right now,” she snapped. “I never want to see your ugly, disgusting face again.”

Werner remained crying, pleading desperately, “I swear I haven’t done anything else wrong all these years. Please, just forgive me this once, for the sake of our children. Think how bad a divorce would be.”

Cathy gritted her teeth and snapped at Werner, “So you’re not leaving? Just keep crying here and see if you can move yourself with your own pathetic act. I’m out of here.”

Cathy threw some clothes into a suitcase and was about to storm out when Werner scrambled to his feet from the floor, demanding, “Where are you going?”

“Get out of my way!” Cathy snapped, shoving Werner aside. “Don’t you dare touch me. You’re disgusting.”
