“We should punish Marianne! I still haven’t seen where my diamond ring is! If I can’t find it, this cottage will be mine!” Olivia maliciously said as she glared daggers at me.

Frankly, I didn’t really care about what Olivia just said to me. The best thing to do was ignore that woman. Instead, I focused on what I wanted to say to my husband. I knew that I had to do it.

“I already made up my mind. I want us to sever our mating bond. You’re not worthy of being my husband and Marianne’s father. You’re nothing but a disappointment. I should’ve never married you or have you as Marianne’s father,” I continued to speak firmly as I looked at Jeremy with a fiery determination.

The Alpha seemed to be stunned. However, what shocked me was what happened next. That man looked very hurt.

'Why would he look very hurt?' I asked myself.

Unfortunately, for a second, everything went black. After that, blood started to drip on the ground. That was when I realized that Jeremy had slapped me to the point where my nose was. He slapped me so hard that the urn that I held also fell.

I couldn’t help but yell, “No! Don’t you dare!”
