Chapter 80

I’ll Let You in on a Secret Melanie grinned as she spoke, and I knew her following words wouldn’t be pleasant.

Still, I remained.

I unfazed, saying, “I don’t think coming here makes a difference.

Just say what you must, and don’t beat around the bush.

Your family isn’t here.” “Haha! You always act all high and mighty.

Matt can’t stand you acting like a princess.

You’re boring and awkward, even when you’re trying to act cute!‘ Melanie smirked.

1 “Melanie, do you even know what shame is?” I was furious.

“I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you.” “Chloe, why do you always act superior to everyone?

You used to be so patient and enduring.

How did you feel when you found the condoms in Matt’s pocket? He said you two never used those.

Her words made me nauseous.

I never expected Matthew to share our sex life with her.

It was disgusting.

Melanie swirled her wine, noticing my glare.

She continued to grin, saying, “Are you angry? Let me tell you something.

I put them there without his knowledge.

She laughed as if she had pulled off a prank, her voice grating my nerves.

She had shattered my perception of her, and I couldn’t believe how low she had stooped.

Melanie was still sickly when I married Matthew.

However, I noticed her eyes constantly scrutinizing me.

Although she and I weren’t close, she always followed me, looking for her brother.

Since she was his younger sister, I took her everywhere, even with us, to the movies.

She never refused and always stayed close.

Finally, I realized she was eyeing Matthew all along.

It seemed Melanie wasn’t as innocent as she appeared.

On the contrary, she was bold.

She sipped her wine and gestured toward me.

“You should have a drink to calm your nerves.

Learn to enjoy life, Chloe.

Although I can’t stand you, I pity you at times.

What else do you have besides your daughter and that shabby house?” She had a point, and I was at a loss for words.

Melanie had twisted thoughts, explaining why she could sleep with her brother.

Melanie said, “You know my family prefers sons over daughters, right? My father was disappointed when you birthed Ava Matt wants a son, but I can’t let you have one.

Still, you won’t get pregnant, even if you don’t use condoms Hahaha! You don’t know what I did, huh?”

Melanie I shouted and bolted to my feet.

Don’t get to worked up I haven’t finished yet! She pulled me, but I shrugged off her hend “Don’t touch me, you disgusting pig!” I never thought I’d face such a vile woman.

I remembered Melanie had my house keys and could enter and leave as she pleased.

I felt a deep sense of unease.

Melanie stumbled back and fell onto the couch after I shrugged her off.

Surprisingly, she wasn’t enraged.

She smirked at me, saying, “I enjoy seeing you all worked up.” 2 She sat up, poured herself another glass, and then filled another one.

“Oh, my dear sister–in–law-* “Don’t call me that!” I growled.

I felt a shiver down my spine as I fell back onto the couch.

“All right, I won’t call you that.

To be honest, I’ve never acknowledged you as my sister–in–law, either,” Melanie spoke calmly, “But you see, Matt is so soft–hearted.

Although he’s lost interest in you, he can’t end things.

Besides, there’s a project we need to secure, so you’re still useful to us.” I struggled to control my anger, not wanting to lose my composure in front of her.

However, I discovered Matthew was unaware of everything she had done.

Melanie sipped her wine again and leaned in closer.

She resembled a seductress in the dim light as she whispered, “Chloe, I’ll let you in on a secret.”
