After Being Cheated On 100 Times, The Translator Wife Finally Realizes Something’s Wrong Adrian couldn’t believe his eyes as he stared at the SnapChat message from his wife, Olivia. “I pretended to be William’s girlfriend when we visited his parents. Does Simon know? He didn’t make a fuss?” Adrian’s fingers hovered over the keyboard, unsure how to respond. Just then, a call came in from his manager. “Mr. Quinn, did you forget? You signed Olivia’s resignation letter yourself. When she left, she also left behind divorce papers.” Adrian’s face turned pale as he suddenly remembered that incident when Olivia had gone to the countryside with her male intern without telling him. On Olivia’s Instagram, the usually cold and professional translator was now showing off her linguistic talents in 18 languages, clearly trying to impress William’s relatives. The caption read: “My translator wife helped me impress the elders!” Adrian couldn’t help but leave a sarcastic comment: “How professional of you.” Seconds later, Olivia called, her voice sharp with anger: “Who told you to leave such a comment? How is William supposed to face his colleagues now?” “He was being looked down on back home, so as his boss, it’s normal for me to help him save face. If you keep making a scene and embarrassing me, we might as well get divorced!” Adrian laughed coldly and hung up. As if he cared about staying married to her anymore. He glanced at the calendar. In two days, the divorce cooling-off period would be over.
This was the first time Adrian had ever hung up on Olivia. In their five years of marriage, she had always taken advantage of his love, forcing him to compromise every time. If he showed even the slightest displeasure, she would never let it go. Sure enough, Olivia called back immediately. Adrian didn’t even bother to look at his phone before rejecting the call and blocking all of Olivia’s accounts. He glanced at the pair of tickets he had just purchased and asked the young woman at the counter, “Can you help me exchange these for a single ticket?” The girl looked confused. “But the couple’s ticket has such a big discount. Did your friend cancel?” Adrian smiled. “She can’t make it. Because she just died.” The ticket seller froze for a moment, then helped him exchange the ticket with a mix of sympathy and bewilderment. As Adrian scrolled through his WhatsApp, he suddenly saw a message from William in the work group chat: “Intern William @everyone: The post I just shared on Instagram was a joke. Thanks to Olivia for being so understanding. If I offended anyone, I apologize.” Offended who? This passive-aggressive apology was clearly a provocation aimed at Adrian! Adrian laughed coldly. He was about to put his phone away when he saw Olivia’s instant reply: “Everyone can tell you were joking. It’s good for young people like you to liven things up. No need to apologize. Only petty people would take offense.” With the head translator backing William, colleagues who had been lurking came out to suck up: “Yeah, that Instagram post was obviously a joke. We wouldn’t take it seriously. No need to apologize specifically.” “Thanks to William, we got to see Olivia’s amazing debate skills. Olivia is so impressive, I need to study every word!” “I bet that petty person is lurking right now. Geez, I don’t get how some people can be so petty!” The colleagues unanimously criticized Adrian for defending William in order to flatter their boss. What angered Adrian most were the junior managers he had personally trained and promoted. They cursed him the harshest while polishing their boss’s shoes the fastest. No wonder – Olivia was the company owner, and William was her precious darling. In their eyes, Adrian, who had invested his entire fortune to help Olivia start her business, was just a lovesick fool with a green hat who didn’t even know he was being cheated on. Adrian took a deep breath and left the group chat. He didn’t want to ruin his rare day off because of them. However, just as he was queuing up for the roller coaster, he received a FaceTime call from his assistant Zhang. Her tone was full of reproach: “Adrian, why aren’t you at the office yet? The international delegation is coming in two days. Where are your materials? When will you submit them to me? You know how important this reception is, don’t you?” Her words left Adrian confused. He frowned, “What delegation?” He had been working overtime for over half a month before the holiday, just to free up these few days to travel with Olivia. He clearly didn’t have anything scheduled for these days. Zhang impatiently said: “The delegation of professors from top art schools coming for academic exchange.” Adrian bit his lip in confusion: “Wasn’t that task assigned to William by Olivia?” “Yes, but William had to go back home for something urgent, so he’s on leave. Olivia said to have you take over. You need to come to the office right now to prepare.” Adrian laughed bitterly. The visiting professors were from 10 countries including the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and Egypt. With William’s mediocre English skills, he could never handle hosting this delegation. But William had his eye on the opportunity to show off in front of top professors and leaders, so he begged Olivia to give him the task. At the time, Adrian said William couldn’t handle it, but Olivia indulged him and assigned the task to William anyway. Now that the visit was approaching and William hadn’t prepared anything, he wanted Adrian to clean up his mess! No wonder he suddenly took leave – he must have realized he couldn’t handle this important task. “Adrian, did you hear me? If you heard, hurry to the office.” Because Olivia always ordered Adrian around at work, even fresh graduates like Zhang now dared to command him! Adrian laughed coldly and said firmly, “I’m also on vacation, didn’t you know? I can’t make it back. I can’t take on this translation task. Tell Olivia to figure it out herself.” He hung up without giving Zhang a chance to respond. Taking her cheating intern to hide out in the countryside while making Adrian clean up the mess – she was really trying to ride all over him! Adrian sat down on the vertical drop roller coaster with a cold expression. Unexpectedly, five minutes later, the entire amusement park was broadcasting announcements to find him: “Mr. Adrian Quinn, your wife has an urgent matter and is looking for you. Please come to the park’s communication room to take a call as soon as you hear this announcement.” Adrian rolled his eyes. Olivia was really something… The announcements played over and over. With no choice, Adrian went to the park entrance and picked up the phone. Olivia’s furious voice nearly split his eardrum: “Adrian Quinn, have I given you too much face?”
“It’s me who’s given you too much f**king face. You’re even riding your boy toy on top of my head now!” I couldn’t be bothered to hold back anymore and snapped at her directly. There was a moment of silence on the other end before Olivia spoke again, suppressing her anger, “Adrian Quinn, what the hell is wrong with you? Such vulgar language, is this how you honor the 20 years of education your parents provided? Is this what you learned from all those years of study – to make unreasonable scenes?” “I already said I’d play with you next time. What are you still making a fuss about?” “You’d better go prepare for that professor delegation reception right now. If you mess it up, we’re through!” I clenched my fist tightly, “Fine, let’s be through then. I’ve wanted to end things with you for a long time!” Before I could finish speaking, I heard William calling Olivia from the background, “Olivia, mom’s calling you for dinner.” Then I heard Olivia’s voice become unprecedentedly gentle, “I’m just wrapping up some small matters. I’ll be right there.” Her tone turned icy cold again when she spoke to me, “What did you just say? I didn’t hear clearly.” I laughed coldly: “Olivia, listen carefully. I said you’ve found yourself a new mom in just half a day, huh? Better hurry, or your mom might get annoyed and smack you with that rolling pin.” “Oh right… I’m just being petty and fussy.” Olivia lowered her voice and roared: “People in the countryside always bully honest kids like William. As his mentor, what’s wrong with me helping him get some payback? You can’t expect everyone to be as cold-blooded and heartless as you!” “Adrian Quinn, you come back to the office right now and coordinate with the team receiving the visiting professor delegation. Otherwise, don’t blame me for ruining your reputation in the translation industry!” She cursed a few more times before hanging up. I stood in the stuffy, cramped communication room, listening to the dial tone with a feeling of desolation. I had made a huge mistake. I should have divorced Olivia long ago, back when she first started treating me coldly and ignoring my feelings. I lost all desire to play and was about to take a cab back to the hotel. The next second, messages flooded in until my phone was vibrating non-stop. Everyone was privately messaging me to come back to the office to work. Though it was an urgent matter where they needed my help, their tones couldn’t have been more disrespectful. The divorce certificate would be in my hands in two days. I couldn’t care less about the mess at Olivia’s company. I deleted that batch of fair-weather colleagues and opened the company app to submit my resignation. But as soon as I opened it, I saw the company’s announcement of my dismissal, with an attached notice criticizing my poor work performance and low moral character. I laughed. It was my first time seeing someone burn bridges before even crossing the river. Olivia really did love her little toy boy. I enjoyed myself for two days, then went straight to the office to pack up my things after getting off the plane. To my surprise, when I got to my office door, neither facial recognition nor my work badge could open it. I was confused when the door opened from inside. “Adrian, what are you doing here? Hurry to the airport! The team receiving the delegation left a long time ago!” William walked out of my office, wearing my watch on his wrist and drinking from my mug. Now he was even ordering me around! I shoved him aside and walked into the office. “It’s not your place to give me orders.” As soon as I entered, I saw that all my belongings had been cleared out. The trash can held photos of Olivia and me, along with the voice recorder and brooch she had given me. Yes, Olivia had loved me once. Those years when we started the business together were the most difficult but also the happiest. William caught my moment of distraction and deliberately exclaimed, “Oh Adrian, I forgot to mention, Olivia gave me this office. Your things were probably thrown out by the cleaners.” He stared at me intently, hoping to see me explode or go crazy. But I smiled at him and glanced casually at the trash can. “Thanks for throwing out this garbage for me. Saves me from getting my hands dirty.”
“Adrian Quinn, why are you still here? The delegation is about to arrive!” Olivia’s face was as cold as iron, her voice anxious. I frowned and glared at her. “So what? Why should I care?” I said as I strode out. “But Adrian, you can’t…” William hurried to block my path. As we brushed shoulders, he suddenly cried out and fell heavily to the ground. “William! Are you okay?” Olivia, who had just been glaring at me, instantly panicked. She took two big steps, shoved me aside, and anxiously helped William up, gently patting his back to comfort him when she saw he wasn’t injured. Olivia glared at me furiously. “Well, Adrian Quinn, have I given you too much face? Is this what you learned from all those years of education – bullying colleagues and picking on the weak? Apologize to William right now!” I laughed coldly. Before I could speak, William added fuel to the fire, sounding wronged, “Olivia, don’t be angry. Adrian must be too anxious about the professor delegation project. He didn’t mean to push me.” Reminded of this, Olivia also grew nervous. “Are you trying to get fired? If this project gets messed up, you can resign on your own!” I laughed strangely. “Olivia, are you pretending to have amnesia on top of finding new parents? I was fired by you yesterday. The life and death of your precious company have nothing to do with me now.” Olivia’s whole body trembled with anger. She raised her hand to slap me but ended up knocking the computer off the desk. Her voice was terrifyingly low, “Fired? Are you deliberately sabotaging such an important project just to threaten me with quitting?” I really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She was the one who issued the dismissal notice. This pair of cheaters was too much. I quickened my pace to leave – spending another second with them made me want to vomit. But Olivia called out as I was leaving, “Adrian Quinn, according to company policy, for major losses caused by personal mistakes, compensation must be paid…” I didn’t even look back as I walked away. “Yeah, if you keep yapping instead of cleaning up this mess, it won’t be compensation – it’ll be bankruptcy!” Thinking of Olivia’s gnashing teeth, I felt secretly pleased. She had wanted to manipulate me into cleaning up William’s mess, but this time I didn’t give an inch. She had kicked an iron plate. After leaving the company, I listed the marital home I had bought years ago for sale online, priced for a quick sale. The real estate agent said those school district apartments were in high demand. He quickly found a buyer offering much more than my asking price. The price didn’t matter. What mattered was that anything related to Olivia felt like a thorn in my side. Then I drove straight to the civil affairs bureau and got the divorce certificate I had been longing for. Our mutually torturous marriage was finally over!
