"Ethan, you are not worthy of me! Let's get a divorce!" "Loser, get out of our family!" Ethan, who secretly helped his wife and achieved a fabulous career, was forced to get a divorce by his wife and mother-in-law. However, both of them regretted it after they found out about Ethan's identity...

Chapter 1 Chapter 1 No Regret

"Mom, Judith, the water is ready. I'll wash your feet!"

At 8 pm, Ethan Jankins' wife, Judith Dawson, and mother-in-law, Lily Dawson, had just returned from the headquarters. After cleaning the house, Ethan immediately greeted them as usual, carrying two basins of water.

But today, the two looked cold and didn't intend to wash. Lily picked up her dog and called it a good boy, then kicked the basin away and yelled at Ethan. "You know nothing but washing our feet! What a loser!"

At this moment, Ethan's heart was filled with anger that he had been suppressed long. He married into the Dawson family, but Lily and Judith treated him poorly because he was just a low-paid staff. His status in the Dawson family was even lower than the dog.

"Take a look at this agreement. Sign it if you don't have any doubts!"

Before Ethan could say anything, his wife Judith, who also looked cold, took out a document from her bag and threw it to Ethan.

Ethan obeyed everything Judith said, so he immediately took it over and started reading. However, his anger suddenly froze when he saw the content. It was a divorce agreement, and Judith didn't want to give him any compensation.

"Honey, why do you suddenly want to divorce me?"

"During the family meeting today, grandma told me that as long as I am willing to divorce you, she will entrust me with an important project. I don't want you to ruin my future! So, let's divorce!"

Judith said in a determined tone as her eyes were filled with expectations for her future.

Judith was a tall beauty with fair skin, a pretty face, and long legs. During this year, her career had been a great success, and she had achieved many incredible goals.

She wasn't an important member of the Dawson family, but these achievements were enough to make her the family heir.

However, old Mrs. Dawson hadn't made Judith the heir because she was very dissatisfied with Judith's marriage. Therefore, she only let Judith become the manager of a branch company and didn't allow her to handle important projects.

Judith felt very aggrieved. Lily tried to persuade her to divorce many times, but Judith was somewhat hesitant.

Today, when she went to the Dawson family's headquarters for a meeting, old Mrs. Dawson told Judith personally that as long as she was willing to divorce Ethan, she could get the biggest project.

Judith was tempted.

She knew that this might be the beginning of becoming the heir.

So, on the way home, she made up her mind to divorce Ethan. She didn't want this loser to ruin her bright future.

He was never good enough for her!

When Ethan heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. He knew old Mrs. Dawson had always been dissatisfied with him, but he did everything possible for his hard-won relationship with Judith. He never thought that Judith would divorce him because of a project.

Ethan had always been amenable to Judith, but he couldn't hold back his anger any longer. "Honey, you want to divorce me because of a project. Do you think our relationship and our efforts are that cheap?"

"Relationship? Efforts? Ethan, how dare you say that!"

Judith's expression immediately changed when she heard his words. She believed all difficulties were caused by Ethan, and she couldn't believe her ears when she heard his question.

Judith became furious, and she slammed the table. "A man should be supportive and successful, which is the dedication and affection for his family."

"What about you? You're still an employee with a monthly salary of 600 dollars. All you can do is housework. You are such a loser! Besides, I lost so many opportunities because of you. Do you call this effort and relationship?"

"That's right. Ethan, how dare you say that? You're just a worthless man who lives on us. You can't even compare with Bean. I raised him, so he could at least wag his tail and bark! You look so useless when you wash our feet every day. I'm so annoyed!"

At this time, Lily kicked the basin again and scolded fiercely in disgust.

Bean seemed to feel the anger of its master and barked at Ethan.

While being scolded by Lily and the dog, Ethan felt extremely disappointed and furious.

He felt ridiculous that Lily said he was useless and worse than a dog.

Ethan indeed married into the Dawson family, but he was also the heir of a wealthy secret family with countless fortunes and great power.

He became like this because his family was attacked ten years ago, and he was almost starved to death when Judith gave him candy. It reawakened his hope in life, so he vowed to repay her.

When the Jankins family returned to its peak, Ethan met Judith again. They soon got to know each other and fell in love.

Judith's father passed away early, and Judith was an only child, so the family could only recruit a son-in-law. Ethan bore tremendous pressure from his family, hid his identity, and became the Dawson family's son-in-law.

In order to take better care of Judith, Ethan found an ordinary job and began to serve Judith like a servant. He bore all kinds of insults and was always willing to obey her and her mother's orders.

He even used his power to help her achieve many incredible goals secretly.

And he was the reason for everything that Judith owned right now!

Judith and Lily were not important in the family. Without his help, they would never have their current status. Likely, the Dawson family couldn't have the existing development prospects.

In the end, his hard work turned out to be useless and incompetent. Judith forced him to divorce for an important project and her bright future!

He had experienced too much in his life, but he couldn't accept that the person he loved the most treated him like this!

Ethan felt unworthy of his efforts.

"Ethan, I know my words are harsh, but I'm telling the truth. I wanted to divorce you long ago, but I didn't mention it to you because I didn't want to hurt you. I'm exhausted. Can you do me a favor by letting me go?"

Judith stopped being furious and spoke as if she had had enough.

"You mean, you wanted to divorce me when you first succeeded in your career?" Ethan asked tremblingly.

"Yes. Don't blame me. I am very capable. We are not from the same world, so you are not worthy of me. Let's divorce!" Judith said as a matter of course and threw the agreement to him.

"Huh..."

Ethan laughed miserably in his heart. He thought Judith wanted to divorce him recently, but she had planned it for a long time. No wonder Judith's attitude had become worse since then, and she even started to call him a loser like her mother.

At this moment, he looked at Judith and felt strange for the first time.

He didn't want to give up this relationship. In fact, he wanted to tell Judith his identity just now, so she would never want to be separated from him. However, Judith had already given up on him for money, so it would be unnecessary to win her back with his wealth.

Ever since they married, he had helped Judith enough to repay her kindness.

Moreover, he had been subjected to their bullying this year, and he couldn't bear them any longer.

Ethan became expressionless after he had been overwhelmed by exhaustion. "Okay, I'll sign it!"

Then, he picked up a pen and signed the agreement.

"Hurry up! Pack up your stuff and get ready to leave. Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce at noon tomorrow! But you must remember, according to the agreement, you won't get any compensation. We have a lot of methods to deal with you."

Lily looked ecstatic and threatened Ethan as she took over the agreement.

Judith forced him to get a divorce, but she felt a bit disappointed when Ethan signed the agreement. She seemed to be looking forward to the divorce, but she didn't want to face it.

"I haven't taken a fancy to your family property. I don't even want it! I'm leaving now!"

Ethan was distraught and even found it ridiculous. He looked at Judith with a complicated expression. "I just hope that you have no regret!"

"I won't regret it. You don't need to worry!"

Judith was very disappointed with Ethan. It seemed that all he could do was talk big.

"He's indeed a big loser!" She thought.

She already had a plan for the project that old Mrs. Dawson had promised, which could earn tens of millions.

How could she ever regret leaving him? At that time, she would no longer live in this tiny house, and she would buy the big villa of her dreams.

"Loser, you are quite stubborn. We will only get better without you. We don't want you to wash our feet. Drink up the two basins of water before you get lost!" Lily looked at Ethan provocatively and put Bean's paws in the basin.

Judith put her hands on her hips and didn't mean to stop her mother at all.

"To hell with you, you old prick! Drink it yourself!"

Judith became like this mainly because Lily instigated her. During their marriage, Ethan bore endless humiliation, and he was even forced to drink up a dog's foot-washing water after he had agreed to divorce. Ethan's anger was ignited. He picked up the basin and poured the water on Lily's head.

"Ah!"

Lily and Bean were soaked. Lily immediately became furious and wanted to scold Ethan.

But at this moment, Ethan exuded an oppressive aura that belonged to the superior, which scared them so much that they didn't dare to make a sound.

Judith was shocked as well.

None of them said a word.

But now, Ethan found Judith even more alienated. Just now, when Lily insulted him so much, she just watched coldly and didn't help him for the sake of those good memories in the past. Then, he sighed and left the Dawson family on his electric bike.
