Chapter 328
Beyond the Divorce
A Show to Behold I almost laughed aloud after finally realizing who that woman was. She was Melanieâs biological mother. The woman was a drama queen. She kept repeating. âYou made it hard for me to find you.â
However, her expression felt out of place. I wondered what she was looking for.
After birthing Melanie, the woman left her with the Murphys and showed no concern over the years.
Since that was the case, I couldnât believe her struggles to find Melanie.
The Murphys caused a stir when they moved out of their old place. The woman would only need to ask around to find their new place. Considering her attire, she probably didnât fare well alone. Now, she had found a lucky break.
I knew she was a troublemaker, too. Her return meant that the Murphys, especially Grace, were in for dark times ahead. I couldnât help but glance at Grace, shaking with anger. I felt genuine sympathy for her.
After all, she had sincerely cared for Ava over the years.
I admired Lauren for managing to find that woman. I wondered where Lauren had found her. Evidently, the womanâs return was a severe punishment for the Murphys, especially Grace.
now but became an onlooker. It felt great to sit I was the main character just back and watch such an entertaining show. No wonder Grace became so hysterical just now. After all, that woman had become a homewrecker to the Murphys long ago.
Melanie was in utter shock as the older woman held onto her. The former tried to break free but couldnât.
Melanie never showed respect to those she considered beneath her, and that womanâs attire showed she was of a lower social status. Therefore, Melanie was furious, roaring, âLet go of me, you old hag!
Who are you?! Get lost!â
The womanâs expression turned stern as her eyes glinted with greed. She did not expect Melanie to scold her.
Finally, I realized why the womanâs eyes looked so familiar. They were the same ones Melanie had. I was confident that the woman was Melanieâs biological mother.
âDonât you know who I am, you heartless brat?! Iâm your mother!â The woman was fuming. âI went through hell to birthday you. Now that youâre living a good life, youâve forgotten your mother? How can you be so heartless?
Melanie was petrified. After finally regaining her thoughts, she asked again. âWho are you? Get away from mel âI am your mother!â The woman pointed at Grace in anger. âAsk that old hag who I am. Grace, tell her!â
Grace was livid as she pushed Matthew aside. She frenziedly ran toward the woman and grabbed her hair, yelling, âAbby Patton, how dare you show your face here?! Iâll kill you!â
Chaos erupted as the two women wrestled. It was impossible to separate them.
Lauren sauntered over and mocked, âWell, it looks like no one will serve food anytime soon. Are you hungry, Chloe? Iâve handled the formalities, so letâs find a nice place to eat. Thatâs their family matter-
youâre not one of them.â
Matthew bellowed, âLauren!â
Lauren smiled at him fearlessly and said, âHa! Savor the taste of betrayal, Matthew. As for you, Melanie, I can torment you without lifting a finger. How dare you trick me? Youâre not even on my level.â
