"If you can't come, transfer the money to me."
I chuckled, "Seraphina, my eye hurts, I'm not feeling well. Besides, it's Brad's celebration, doesn't he have a million-dollar prize? How can he not afford the bill, especially for such expensive dishes?"
Seraphina sounded exasperated on the other end of the phone: "Brad's prize money has other uses. He needs to buy a house! As his brother-in-law, what's wrong with buying a watch and treating him to dinner?"
"William, how did you become so petty?"
Brad chimed in from the background: "Seraphina, don't pressure William. He might be upset because I won the medal."
"If it's really a problem, I won't buy a house yet. I'll pay the bill first, and forget about the watch."
"I originally thought the prize money could be a down payment for that house you liked. I was going to buy it for you, I wanted to be able to give you a home from the elements."
Seraphina was moved, her voice choked: "Silly, how can I let you pay? I said I wanted to host the celebration. I'll pay. If William won't, I will."
After she finished, she spoke coldly to me on the phone: "William, you hold onto your money. Don't think everyone is like you, only caring about money."
"What do you have now besides money? Don't forget, you lost an eye, and only I'm here by your side, not disliking you."
"I thought my sincerity would be rewarded, but I never expected you to be such a narrow-minded person."
With that, she violently hung up the phone. I immediately called the bank and froze all my supplementary cards.
The reason Seraphina could consistently support Brad was that she used my supplementary cards to buy him various luxury items, shaping Brad into the image of a promising young socialite. Only outsiders didn't know that everything he wore and used, every penny, was mine.
Keep in mind that the shooting team only provided athletes with a basic monthly living allowance, which wasn't even enough for Brad to throw a lavish dinner for his teammates. Under Seraphina's indulgence, they squandered lavishly. They had long forgotten that everything they possessed was given by me.
Not even ten minutes passed before Seraphina called again: "William, what do you mean? Why did you stop my card?"
I said coldly, "I didn't stop your card. I only stopped mine. Seraphina, the supplementary card is also my card, have you forgotten?"
"Isn't your card with you? If you want to help Brad pay, use your salary card. In the few years we've been married, hasn't your salary card been untouched? Paying this hundred thousand should be easy, right?"
Seraphina shrieked: "Use my salary card? I don't have any money left! William, how did you become like this? Quibbling over a bit of money! You were injured, hospitalized for surgery, you lost an eye—who was it who stayed by your side, never abandoning you? How can you be so heartless?"
I interrupted her: "Seraphina, did my eye really go blind because of the car accident?"
Seraphina was silent on the phone, then said: "I don't know what you're talking about. Your eye was severely injured in the car accident. I tried my best to get you treatment. This current state is the best option."
"You don't be unreasonable. Unblock my card right now."
"Seraphina, there's nothing left between us. My lawyer will contact you. Let's get a divorce. I'll make way for you and Brad."
With that, I hung up the phone directly. No matter how many times she called afterward, I didn't answer. I went home, packed my bags, and moved to a hotel.
Seraphina couldn't reach me by phone, and she kept sending various messages to my cell, but I ignored them all. However, I didn't expect her to track down my follow-up appointment time from the hospital and intercept me there.
