Chapter 86
Beyond the Divorce
Disrespecting Her Elders Melanieâs words displeased Matthew.
He glared at me, asking, âWhat else do you want to say?â âYour sister knows it, and I bet you do toolâ I looked firmly at him.
âWhen you engage in such disgraceful activities, itâs only a matter of time before it comes to light.
You should have prepared yourself for this.â I didnât expect Melanie to still be there when Atlas rescued me.
Grace sensed the tension and looked at me.
âChlo, donât be upset.
Did she provoke you again? Sheâs such a stubborn child.â Henry, who had always spoiled Melanie, yelled at Grace, âWhy are you talking about our daughter like that?! You donât know what happened, so stop making such accusations.
Chloeâs a married woman, but why is she fooling around instead of staying home?â Henry smirked, thinking I was the one being unreasonable.
I thought Melanie might not have fallen so low if he hadnât pampered her so much.
âHmph, like father, like daughter.
Sheâs a mess now because of you,â I said, âBefore you comment on othersâ behavior, you should teach your kids a lesson first.â âWhat did you say?!â Henry roared, âMatthew, how can your wife disrespect her elders like this?â Matthew glared at me, probably because his father scolded him.
Immediately after, he scolded me, Youâre getting out of control! Youâre quick to anger and donât know your place.
I think Iâve spoiled you too muchâ** âAre you sure about that?!â I interrupted, âItâs more like youâre spoiling her.
Now sheâs lost all sense of shame and does disgraceful things.â Matthew impatiently defended himself, âJust cut to the chase! Thereâs no need to bring her into this.â Melanie was thrilled to hear her brother supporting her.
She looked at me triumphantly, saying, âMatt wonât let you have your wayâ I glanced at Matthew coldly, he seemed no longer concerned that I was his wife.
Once a marriage reached this point, every memory would become distant.
Matthew, youâre crueler than I thought you were,â my eyes were full of tears, and my voice trembled, Why do you insist on protecting her? gm not protecting anyone, and donât cry like someone has hurt you deeply.
If you didnât do anything to would she cause trouble for you? Matthew yelled at me. His statement sent a chill down my spine as I said, âI hope you wonât regret your words later.â I looked at the smiling Melanie and continued, âYou want to bite back at me, even now.
Fine, Iâll tell everyone what youâve been up to.â I pulled out my phone and opened a voice recording.
Then I slammed my phone on the table with a loud bang
