When that sycophantic arriviste compelled me to divorce him, that pampered daughter of a rich man was leaning against him, flaunting their affair triumphantly. I drowned my sorrows by drinking late into the night. I cursed myself bitterly for being blind and for failing to see how low he would stoop just to climb the social ladder. To my surprise, that daughter's rich father, sporting a prominent beer belly, appeared before my eyes. He slipped a thick envelope discreetly to me. It was full of cash. ***** In the backseat of that rich man's luxurious sedan, the atmosphere was tense. A vengeful thought rose in me. If that scumbag ex-husband wanted to marry up, then I would become his mother-in-law and make him bow to me for the rest of his life! But the rich man held my hand, and after much hemming and hawing, I finally understood what he was getting at. This guy was the chairman of my ex-husband's company. And the person he had his eye on was actually my ex-husband! I stopped sobbing abruptly. I couldn't believe my ears. I would feel downright disgusted if I saw my scumbag ex-husband canoodling a rich woman for money. But if I could watch that same scumbag bowing and scraping to his sleazy big boss whom he badmouthed daily, just so he could get ahead, I would gladly help to make both of their dreams come true!
