Alex never expected to run into Claire here. What he worried about was whether or not she would go
back and tell Dorothy about it.
As for Cheryl, her eyes lit up when she heard Claireâs words.
âAlex and Dorothy are divorced?â
She hadnât known about this before, and when she heard this, she was secretly happy on the inside.
She and Dorothy hadnât gotten along, after all, and felt that a woman like Dorothy was not worthy of
Alex. All of the Assex family had never treated Alex like a human being, especially Claire, now standing
in front of them.
Her freshest memory of Claire was how she continued humiliating Alex in every possible way.
So, she immediately said, âYou have so much free time to care about others! Do you think you can do
anything you want now? When he was your son-in-law back then, you treated him like a slave. Now,
heâs no longer your son -in-law. What⦠Do you still intend to have him work as a slave for your family?
You canât bear to see him have a good life? I say, a woman like you really thinks herself a queen now,
doesnât she?â
When Claire thought about how wealthy Alex had become, and her own family had nothing, her anger
flared up once again.
Her face twisted, and she shouted, âOh, you shameless thing. Youâve become someoneâs mistress, yet
you still display a sense of superiority? Youâve robbed my daughter of her husband and embarrassed
your grandfather, Doctor Coney. How are you not embarrassed about coming out to meet people?â
âDid I snatch him away? Youâre the one who chased Alex away. Who in the whole state of California
doesnât know about it? Your family treated him like a servant, not letting them stay in the same room
even though theyâre married. You have him do the housework all day long, even having him wash all
your feet⦠May I ask, which mother-in-law would treat their son-in-law like that? If it were anyone else,
they would want to divorce your daughter immediately. When your daughter canât find a husband in the
future, it will be all your fault.â
Cheryl was good at talking.
She was a doctor, after all, and she had a lot of practice in eloquence.
Claire was so angry. She was practically hopping in place. âHmph, did you think you picked up
treasure? Iâll be honest with you. This guy is a pervert. He has many women by his side, and those that
I know of are only three. You can only end up as the fourth or fifth mistress. Just wait and cry when the
time comes!â
âIâd be happy to! Even if itâs the seventh or eighth! Why does it matter to you? Thatâs because you donât
know his value, and now Iâve gotten him. You treated him like grass and drove him away. One day, you
will regret it,â said Cheryl.
She didnât know that Claire was already regretting it to death.
Just after Cheryl finished speaking, she kissed Alex. It was obviously done to show Claire.
âMwahâ¦â
Alexâs mind was blank, and he had forgotten to avoid it. He never imagined that Cheryl would launch a
sneak attack on him like this in front of Claire.
Claireâs face flushed. âBlargh, what a shameless hussy!â
She spat in Alexâs direction, then left in a huff. Why would she stay and become a lightbulb?
***
Being kissed by Cheryl like this, Alex felt his head go dizzy. The important point to note here was that
this woman was kissing him quite deeply, her entire body molding into his without any gap in between.
He didnât know what to think.
It was a curious coincidence, and he just rolled along with it. As a result, it had now spiraled out of
control.
He wasnât even aware when Claire left.
Until an old man appeared next to him, eyeing the two with a weird look and not tearing his gaze away.
He even went as far as to shake his head and mutter to himself, âOh how public morals decay with
each passing day!â
The two finally snapped out of their stupor and hurriedly let go of each other.
Cherylâs face was flushed.
Alex looked at the old man in frustration and said, âIf you say that public morals are decaying, why did
you look so excited as you watched on?â
The old man pointed to the electric car behind them and said, âYou were blocking my car, so I could
only wait for you, you undiscriminating brat.â
Cheryl hurriedly pulled Alex and ran away.
They ran for hundreds of yards, and when she finally panted for breath as she patted her chest, she
asked, âWhen did you get a divorce?â
Alex was slightly embarrassed. âA few days ago. That⦠Just now⦠Sorry, I⦠Couldnât hold back.â
Cheryl was also blushing. âWhat do you have to say sorry for? I⦠I was the one who took the initiative!
I was just so mad at your former mother-in-law. What kind of person is that? Iâve never met such a
woman before! Itâs the right thing for you to have gotten a divorce. It saves you from having to endure
more bullying from her family! With your capabilities, Iâm sure there are many women who like you,
right?â
Alex smiled, then quickly changed the topic. âSay, what do you think has happened to Phoebe?â
Speak of the devil, and he would come. A call came on Cherylâs phone, and it was Phoebe.
The moment she answered it, she heard Phoebe crying. Cheryl was shocked. âPhoebe! âThat
happened? Did Colby bull you? How dare he?â
