Broken Oath: I Left, He Regretted-Chapter 117: Exposing Our Marriage Certificate to Humiliate the Scumbag and His Mistress

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Exposing Our Marriage Certificate to Humiliate the Scumbag and His Mistress

My heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat as I stared thoughtfully at the closed door of Julian Sinclair’s office.

He’s unhappy... does it have anything to do with me?

Until the end-of-day bell rang, I still hadn’t sorted through my thoughts. I could only pack up my things and go pick up Sharon.

At the kindergarten entrance, Sharon ran over from afar, the little rabbit pendant on her backpack bouncing nonstop.

Once in the car, she said, "Auntie Ellison, I gave the clothes you sewed for my doll to Doris today, and she accepted them!"

I smiled and asked, "Did she say anything?"

Sharon thought for a moment and said, "She seemed really happy! And she even apologized to me. It was about the last time she smashed cake on my face; she said she was wrong."

Sharon’s eyes were as bright as stars. It’s clear she was in a good mood.

I was quite surprised; Doris actually took the initiative to apologize?

On the drive back, Sharon suddenly remembered something and said, "Auntie Ellison, Doris also invited me to her house to play after school tomorrow. Can I go?"

I paused for a moment.

Given the environment of the Xavier Family, and the fact that Doris and Timothy Xavier are cut from the same cloth...

I really can’t easily trust anyone from the Xavier Family anymore.

Especially unexpected gestures of kindness from someone like Doris.

So I told Sharon, "If you want to play with Doris, playing together during the day at kindergarten is fine. Going to someone’s house at night might disturb their rest."

Sharon blinked and obediently nodded, "Okay, I’ll listen to Auntie Ellison."

When we got home, I asked, "Sharon, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"The steak Uncle Sinclair made last time was really good." Sharon tilted her head and said, "It seems like Uncle Sinclair hasn’t been here for a while. Should we call him and ask him to come cook?"

I shook my head helplessly and crouched down to say, "Sharon, Uncle Sinclair is your uncle, but he is Auntie Ellison’s boss. So, let’s not ask him to come and cook anymore, alright? Whatever you want to eat, Auntie Ellison can learn to make it."

After all, Julian Sinclair has the unpredictable moods of someone in a powerful position, and every time I’m around him, I feel very nervous and unsettled inside.

Especially today, he was inexplicably angry, and I dare not provoke him right now.

Sharon was a bit disappointed and said, "Alright then. I’ll go do my homework! I love everything you make, Auntie Ellison. It’s just that..."

"Just what?"

I looked at her, puzzled.

Sharon smiled and said, "I just feel like when Uncle Sinclair is here, you two seem like my mom and dad."

My cheeks couldn’t help but flush, but I didn’t continue the topic and said, "Go do your homework, then. I’ll go make dinner."

...

At night, Sharon was already asleep, and I sat at the desk updating my novel.

At this moment, a message came from the crew group chat.

[Lead Actress Raina Ainsworth: Friends, big news, Serena Sawyer is doing a live stream sale!]

[Producer Vera Quincy: ??? Live stream sale? Does she think she can’t make it in the entertainment industry and is preparing to go the influencer route?]

Raina immediately sent the link to Serena Sawyer’s sales stream on Douyin and added a text message: [It’s supposedly a sale, but actually she’s showing off, flaunting the baby bump sired by Xavier Group’s heir!]

The group members joined the commotion, and I was quite curious too, so I opened the live stream.

Sure enough, at around eleven o’clock, Serena Sawyer was sharing her early pregnancy reactions with her fans on screen, and all the product links were from the Xavier Group’s lineup.

Anyway, Serena Sawyer was manipulating this wave of traffic skillfully.

Even Sophia Kendall was on screen with her, personally serving bird’s nest soup to Serena and showed great concern.

The bullet screen was exceptionally lively:

"Oh my god, the wealthy mother-in-law is so kind, completely different from what we imagined!"

"Serena is so happy, married to President Xavier, pampered by both husband and mother-in-law!"

"Those who say celebrities suffer marrying into wealthy families, they can only blame themselves for lacking skills. Our Serena is so excellent; wherever she goes, she’s treated like a princess!"

"..."

I looked at the background in Serena Sawyer’s livestream. It seemed to be at Sophia Kendall’s house, the same bedroom where I caught them once.

At this moment, Timothy Xavier also appeared. Although he only flashed by in the background and didn’t speak in front of the camera...

This mere appearance garnered goodwill from the viewers.

"President Xavier, come out! Tell us when you’re planning to have the wedding with Serena?"

"President Xavier should treat Serena well. It’s so late, and she’s still helping sell things for Xavier’s company!"

"A united couple can conquer all; this couple will surely do great together!"

"..."

Serena Sawyer smiled and said, "Everyone, please don’t tease my husband; he’s shy and doesn’t like being on camera."

As soon as she finished speaking, dozens of comments speculated whether Serena and Timothy had already secretly registered their marriage.

Jenna Sutton called in the middle of the night and exclaimed, "I’m so furious! Why didn’t the heavens strike this shameless couple with lightning already? Did you watch that woman’s livestream?"

While typing, I replied, "Yes, I’m watching it now."

Jenna suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, your little ungrateful one is now truly pitiful! Tonight, the teacher went to visit at the Xavier Manor. Timothy said he had a social event and couldn’t make it back, so he asked the teacher to reschedule. Is it because they have a new child that the old child is no longer needed?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly asked, "Tonight, Doris is at the Xavier Manor?"

"Yes. When the teacher went, it was just Doris and a bunch of nannies at home. The teacher was worried because Doris has been emotionally unstable lately, so that’s why they planned a home visit."

After Jenna said this, it all became clear to me.

This means Timothy and the others are all at Sophia Kendall’s place, leaving Doris neglected?

No wonder the girl took the initiative to invite Sharon over to her house.

After all, she used to be the family’s treasure, but now, she’s left all alone.

...

The next day, on the way to sending Sharon to kindergarten, I told her, "If Doris invites you to her house again today, you can invite her to come over to our place."

Sharon nodded and said, "What if she doesn’t come?"

"Then just let it be."

I didn’t force it because, after all, I knew I didn’t mean anything to Doris.

But as a mother, thinking of my child being abandoned like a broken doll makes me inevitably worried.

All I can do is extend my hand.

Whether she wants to grab my hand is up to her.

I dropped Sharon off at the kindergarten entrance and happened to see the Xavier Family’s driver opening the car door for Doris.

The little girl hung her head and silently walked into the kindergarten.

In this state, she was a completely different person from the confident and bold girl she usually was.

At this moment, Sharon called out to her. She turned and saw me holding Sharon’s hand.

Doris’s eyes lingered on me for a long time, but she neither acknowledged me nor Sharon, and turned away to continue walking into the kindergarten.

Sharon curiously asked, "It’s strange. Yesterday she was the one who spoke to me first and said we could be friends. Why is she ignoring people today?"

I sighed and said, "It’s probably like you said. She has new siblings now, so... her family has neglected her."

Sympathy flashed in Sharon’s eyes as she quietly said, "I’m the same."

At this, she looked at me seriously and said, "I’ll look out for her."

"Good girl, Auntie thanks you."

I smiled warmly, dropping her off at her classroom door before leaving.

On my way to work, I really wanted to call Timothy Xavier and ask if he really doesn’t want this daughter anymore?

He always says he only wants Doris, yet he leaves Doris alone in such a huge house to accompany Serena Sawyer.

But when I took out my phone, I put it back again.

After all, I didn’t want him to know I still cared about our daughter, nor did I want him to use Doris to threaten me and bind me to this marriage.

In the morning, just as I arrived at work, Victoria Monroe came over to gossip about Serena Sawyer and Timothy Xavier.

"Did you see that? Everyone online is waiting to see when Timothy Xavier and Serena Sawyer will get married, like they’re obsessed with a celebrity couple."

At that, she angrily said, "I really didn’t expect Serena Sawyer to be so tenacious! She actually did a live stream all night and managed to push the Xavier Group’s previously fallen stock price back up. Now, Timothy Xavier’s reputation is getting better too."

I seem to understand now why Timothy Xavier chose Serena Sawyer.

He saw Serena Sawyer’s commercial value and wanted to use this exposure to regain the business he lost to Julian Sinclair.

I sneered and muttered, "Timothy Xavier is becoming more and more shameless."

Victoria Monroe looked at me with a half-understanding expression, cursing, "Hanging around with the Sawyers all day, what kind of integrity could he have?"

At this point, she suddenly looked at me seriously and said, "One day, you should flash your marriage certificate and let them fall hard from their high horse, so everyone online knows what kind of person Serena Sawyer is!"

I smiled and said, "Of course."

Not showing the marriage certificate now doesn’t mean I will always help them hide it.

When Timothy Xavier can’t threaten me anymore, I will certainly expose them, undoubtedly!

...

All day long, I could hear female colleagues privately discussing this matter in the pantry.

I also felt a bit restless.

When the school day ended, I went to pick up Sharon.

Because there was traffic on the road today, by the time I got there, all the children had been picked up.

In the large classroom, only two small figures remained.

Sharon was leaning on the small table, showing her drawings to Doris, who was propping her chin with one hand, staring out the window gloomily.

When she saw me, her eyes lit up for a moment before dimming again, quickly turning her head elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Sharon immediately stood up, grabbed her backpack, and ran towards me, excitedly calling out, "Auntie Ellison!"

I squatted down and ruffled her hair, saying, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Sharon shook her head and said, "It’s okay."

At this moment, my gaze fell on Doris not far away.

She pursed her lips, looking at Sharon with an indescribable envy in her eyes.

I felt a sudden pang of heartache, led Sharon over, and asked, "Why hasn’t anyone come to pick you up?"

Doris spoke in a dejected tone, missing her usual arrogance: "Dad has been really busy lately... and I don’t know what’s up with the driver, but he hasn’t come yet."

At this, Sharon suddenly tugged at Doris’s hand and said, "Doris, why don’t you come home with us!"

Doris’s eyes brightened for a moment, but she quickly looked at me and stubbornly said, "I-I don’t want to go..."

Sharon tugged on her arm and said, "Come on, come on! Auntie Ellison is amazing, she can sew clothes for dolls and makes delicious food for us at night."

Doris no longer resisted and gently nodded.

Just as I was leaving with the two children, a man in a black suit came running breathlessly towards us. It was the Xavier Family’s driver.

"Miss Doris, I’m terribly sorry I came late!"

As the driver spoke, he reached out to hold Doris’s hand, but she dodged and put her hands behind her back.

The driver was stunned and looked at me.

I said coldly, "Doris is coming to my house tonight. If Timothy Xavier asks, tell him to come get his child himself."

The driver hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Doris: "Miss Doris, what do you think..."

Doris said nothing; she just leaned closer to Sharon, her little hand quietly grabbing the corner of Sharon’s coat, and her steps moved a bit towards me.

Seeing Doris beside me, silent, stirred up a sour feeling in my heart.

If it had been in the past, with Timothy Xavier’s strictness towards his subordinates, such a thing would never have happened today.

But now, Timothy Xavier spends every day with Serena Sawyer, neglecting Doris.

Even the driver at home unconsciously began to treat her dismissively.

The indifference and negligence of the adult world ultimately fell on the child.

On the way home, Doris’s child’s phone rang.

She slightly furrowed her brows, answered the call, and said, "Grandma."

Even though Doris hadn’t turned on the speakerphone, Sophia Kendall’s sharp voice on the other end could be vaguely heard.

"Doris, the driver said you went with Zoe Ellison? Did she force you? Did she threaten you? Tell Grandma, I’ll call the police right now and accuse her of child kidnapping."
