Chaeyoung nodded, "She said that she's had enough over the years. Their love died a long time ago, and she wants to take their daughters and immigrate to Canada, but that asshole won't sign the divorce papers."

"From that, you can clearly see how much of an asshole that guy is. Even his wife feels the need to beg some other woman to divorce him," Lisa calmly analyzed.

Chaeyoung smiled bitterly, "You're right. It was so uncalled for. Later when I asked him why he deceived me and didn't tell me that he was married and had children, guess what he told me."

"I bet he told you that he and his wife's relationship has been bad for years, and they have no feelings left for each other. However, his wife would not agree to a divorce, am I right? Oh right, he probably asked you to wait for him, and promised you that he'll marry you one day."

After hearing Lisa's remarks, Chaeyoung looked at her with admiration, "No wonder you're a genius, you basically replicated what he said to me. If his wife hadn't called me, I would have been kept in the dark forever. It was him that refused to divorce, but he made it sound like his wife was the one who wouldn't let go."

"Wait, Chae. Can I ask why he doesn't want to divorce his wife? If there's no love left in their marriage, then why cling onto it? Does he have a personal agenda? Is his wife super rich?" Lisa guessed.

Chaeyoung was so shocked that she almost pounced on Lisa, "How did you know that?"

"It was a simple deduction." Lisa smiled lightly.

"Well, your deduction was right. His wife is really rich and earns more money than him. She owns a lot of shop fronts in the city; even if she doesn't do anything, she would still earn about 5 million won in rent each month."

"No wonder he wouldn't divorce her. But I'm curious, if she knows and has proof of him cheating, then the court would usually approve their divorce. His wife shouldn't act like this." Lisa was confused again.

"That's the reason why I despise him. He threatened his wife; he hid their five-year-old daughter, and since it's a husband-wife problem, the police refused to interfere. He's worried that he might lose his wallet, and that's why he used their child to threaten his wife."

"Wow, he is the king of assholes." Lisa sighed.

"Lis, why do I have such bad karma?"

"I think you should be happy that you found out the truth. You shouldn't be killing yourself over it."

"I should be happy?" Chaeyoung asked helplessly.

"Finding this out earlier on and being able to take precaution is a good thing, isn't it? If you didn't find out and jumped right into the hole he dug you, things would be so much worse."

"So… what should I do now?" Chaeyoung asked sadly, her head lowered.

"There's nothing else to do. Of course, you need to break up with him. Sever all communications and tell that asshole to get the hell away from you."

"But he won't agree to that."

"Are you stupid? Who cares if he doesn't agree? You guys are just dating; rather, you were just his mistress. Your relationship isn't even legal."

"But he said that he loves me very much."

"What if I told you that Jungkook told me that he was in love with you? Would you believe that?" Lisa looked furious.

Chaeyoung was immediately startled, "Stop joking around, Lis, I don't have the guts to piss a guy like him off and besides, everyone knows how much he treasures you."
