"Let's get divorced, Jill!" Clark thought for a while and said coldly, "Since you have suffered enough
after marrying me, I have no choice but get a divorce."
"What? Divorce?" Fannie's eyes widened in surprise. She stopped and said, "Dad, you and mom are
getting older. If you get divorced, who's going to take care of you? Oh, don't expect me to take care of
you. I have to earn enough to support my own family, and I have to look after my child. It's better for me
to divorce Caspar. After all, he is in prison and I don't know when he could come out. I can't live like this
all the time. However, by virtue of my beauty, I am confident that I might find a rich and decent man
after I get divorced. Unfortunately, you are different. Look at you; you're old, sick, and disabled. If you
get a divorce with my mother, who else would want you?"
"That's right, you have no conscience! After I served you for so many years, is this how you will repay
me? With hatred? How dare you divorce me!" Jill cried hysterically.
"I'm setting you free! Isn't that what you wanted?" Looking at Jill's aggrieved face, Clark asked
curiously, "Come to think of it, Jill. My health is failing me, and I'm getting weaker. I am so broke and we
both know that this might get even worse. Do you think that you can still be happy with someone like
me? Why don't you just agree to get divorced?"
It was clear to Clark that Jill was too old to find a rich man.
Jill had spent a lot of money when she was with him all these years, so she wouldn't be used to living
with an ordinary man.
The reason Jill didn't want to get divorced was that she wanted to ask for more money while looking for
men to fool around with.
Jill was an opportunist. She always wanted to have everything she desired.
"I'm worried about you. You're old and sick. How would you live without me?" Jill sobbed and said,
"Although you feel nothing for me anymore, my love for you has not changed at all. After all these
years, I still love you. How can I be willing to leave you alone? We are husband and wife. We promised
that we will stay together for better and for worse."
"Dad, for the sake of my mom's deep love for you, please tell us the whereabouts of the household
register!" Fannie burst into tears as she pleaded.
Clark finally realized that Fannie's tears were just mere hypocrisy. It was only for the sake of the
household register.
When Fannie was a child, he treated her extravagantly. Her life was way better than Nancy.
The more Clark thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Nancy and Jade.
The more he looked at Jill and Fannie, the more his hatred for them grew.
"Clark, you are so inconsiderate. I am sure that you won't take out the household register," Jill added,
trying to guilt Clark.
"I burned it." Clark didn't want to tell the truth, but he was tired of Jill's and Fannie's fiasco, so he
decided to tell them the truth.
Jill and Fannie were stunned. After a few seconds of silence, Jill laughed and said, "Clark, you can't
burn the household register, can you? If you burned it down, it would be impossible for Nancy to marry
Charles. Don't lie to us. Hand over the household register quickly!" This time, Jill sounded aggressive.
"That's right, father. How could you come up with such an idea just because you don't want to give the
household register to us? I can't believe you!" Fannie said in disbelief.
Clark knew that even if he told the truth, neither of them would believe it. He was right all along.
So, Clark decided to stop talking.
"Clark, you are unbelievable! You're really pushing me to my limits. If you don't show us the household
register today, wait and see. We will not push you out of the villa, nor push you to the hospital for
reexamination. We'll let you die here," Jill protested as Clark kept his mouth shut.
"Dad, can you just tell us the truth? Once again, where is the household register?" Fannie was running
out of patience. She gritted her teeth and screamed in anger.
"I told you the truth, but you took it as a lie. What else do you want me to say?" Clark said calmly.
"Did you really burn the household register?" Fannie asked in a loud voice.
Clark didn't respond.
"This bastard is always pretending to be dead. Fannie, don't waste your time talking. Let me do it!"
Seeing that Clark was not fooled by their theatrics, Jill felt anxious. At this time, Charles should be
arriving soon, but they still haven't found the whereabouts of the household register.
How were they going to extort money from Charles now?
Jill grinned wickedly. The next thing that happened was, she pinched the flesh of Clark's arm and
exerted more strength.
At first, Clark didn't want to show his weakness. He gritted his teeth and kept silent.
But his arm felt so painful as if his flesh was about to be torn off.
Clark couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted angrily, "Jill, you vile woman! I have had enough of you.
Just give me a quick death and push me down the stairs!"
"Dad, it's better to live than to die. Why don't you understand such a simple truth? Even if my mother
doesn't love you, I love you very much. For the sake of your own daughter, please tell me where the
household register is," Fannie pleaded reluctantly.
"I've already told you that I burned the household register!" Clark replied.
"It's impossible. Don't listen to this old man's nonsense. He deserves to be beaten. Clark, don't think
that I won't dare to abuse you physically. Just wait and see what I am capable of," Jill said while she
rolled up her sleeves and pinched the flesh on Clark's thigh.
It was the most painful part of his body. Clark's face turned pale because of the searing pain.
However, even if Jill was about to dismember him alive, he had no way to give them the household
register.
He started spitting bad words and cursed at Jill, "Jill, you are a vicious woman. Let me tell you this, I
regret marrying you now. If it weren't for you, Jade and I would still be living a happy life, and Nancy
wouldn't have suffered so much. It's all because of you, a bitch, who intervened in our lives, and made
me suffer like this. It was a shame that I loved someone like you!" Clark was yelling in desperation.
Jill never expected Clark to say such hurtful words. At that exact moment, she had forgotten her
affection for him.
