Besides, she did not feel she was worthy of doing that, nor did she wish to do so in any way.
To Catherine, since Sean did not want to acknowledge them as his parents, then he could suit himself. After all, she
would soon be leaving the Thompson family, and as soon as she did, she would no longer be connected with any of
them or her son.
She planned never to contact Sean or interrupt his life anymore after that. It would perhaps be the kindest thing
she could do for him as his mother.
However, Sam did not think that way, nor was he half as noble as Catherine.
Slapping his thighs in agitation, he glared at her till his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. “Even if we weren't
the best parents, we still gave him his life! That alone is good enough reason for him to be filial toward us and save
our lives!”
“Well, dream on, then.” Catherine rolled her eyes again and opened the folder. She slid the divorce papers and a

minutes are almost up anyway. Go on, sign it.”
“What's this?” Sam did not reach out to take the document and thus did not know its contents.
Catherine yawned as if she was bored. “The divorce papers.”
Sam's face darkened. “Y-You want to get a d-divorce?”
“Yes. Since you're almost dying and Sean's never coming back, it's time our family disbanded. Please sign it quickly
so that I can leave.”
“I'm locked up in here, and the only thing you can think about is getting a divorce? H-Have you ever thought of me
as your husband?!” Sam pointed a trembling finger at her accusatorily.
Catherine sneered at him, “My husband? I'm sorry, but no, I've never thought of you as one. You're not worthy of
the title. Only a month after we got married, you started an affair with another woman, and you hit me when I went
to look for you at her house. After that, you even brought your mistress home when I was pregnant. Even after
Sean was born, you continued living outside with other women. Everything you did was a stab to my heart!”
Hearing that, Sam found no words to defend himself and averted his gaze guiltily. Catherine rubbed her eyes as she
went on, “You wounded my heart again and again, yet you still expect me to regard you as my husband? Let me tell
you this, Sam. I stopped thinking of you as my husband a long time ago, and my love for you has died since then. If
not, I wouldn't have had other men outside. You would know how exciting that feels, wouldn't you?”
“Y-You shameless b*tch!” Sam's chest heaved violently.
Catherine burst into laughter. “I'm shameless? You and I both had other lovers outside. If anything, we're both
shameless! Come to think of it... I had only acted that way because of the way you treated me, so you're in no
position to judge me at all. That's it. Now, just sign it quickly, and I'll leave.”
“Over my dead body. I'm never going to sign this.” Sam glared at her menacingly, obviously intending to make her
suffer.
Seeing his reaction, Catherine boiled with rage as well. She was just about to say something when footsteps

“He won't sign it.” Catherine turned her head around to look at Shane while pointing the finger at Sam. “You
promised me before that you'd get him to agree to the divorce, Shane.”
Shane nodded. “I will.”
With that said, he strode forward.
Seeing that, Sam felt his chest tightening. “W-What are you trying to do?”
Shane was not using the phone and couldn't hear Sam's words, but he could guess what the latter said from the
shape of his lips.
However, he did not respond but simply nodded at the correctional officer who was standing behind Sam.
The correctional officer came out, and Shane exchanged a few words with him.
“All right, Mr. Shane,” said the guard in agreement.
He went back to Sam's side. Grabbing his hand, the guard took out his knife and slashed it on the latter's thumb.
Sam immediately howled in pain. “W-What are you doing? I-I will file a complaint against you! You're a prison guard!
How dare you hurt me!”
“Ever since your first trial, you've been deprived of your political rights for life, so you have absolutely no rights to
do that,” the prison guard responded coolly.
