Chapter 645

Chapter 645:

“I didn’t realize your acting skills were worthy of an Oscar,” Esteban said coldly. “When Susan was a child, every gift and bit of pocket money I gave her, you funneled to Jada. And now you have the audacity to claim that Susan bullied Jada?”

His voice boomed like thunder in Jada’s and Mara’s ears, making both of their hearts race with panic.

How could Esteban know about the past? He and Susan were never supposed to communicate!

“Tell me, what else have you done?” Esteban’s voice trembled with fury, veins pulsing on his forehead.

“Nothing, absolutely nothing!” Mara sobbed, her hands clutching his leg. “Esteban, it’s all my fault. I was consumed by greed! I was just jealous… jealous of Susan…”

Esteban kicked her aside, his face hardening. “You disgraceful woman! Prepare for a divorce!” His voice was icy and resolute.

Mara’s eyes filled with despair. Divorce? How could it come to this? At her age, where would she go after a divorce? Her original family would scorn her, and the ladies of high society would surely mock her. This was a fate worse than death!

“Esteban, I won’t divorce you! I’ll do whatever you want. I promise to take care of you and Susan from now on. Please, just give me another chance!” Mara begged, desperation lacing her voice.

Esteban’s response was icy and unyielding. “If you divorce me peacefully, I won’t lay a finger on you. But if you try to stall, I’ll unleash my wrath on your family!”

With those cutting words, Esteban turned on his heel and strode away, leaving Mara to hurriedly chase after him.

Jada stood there, utterly dumbfounded, grappling with the chaotic turn of events. How had it come to this? She and her mother had always been the ones pulling the strings at home…

“It’s all your fault! Are you satisfied now?” Jada shouted at Susan.

But Susan remained unyielding and defiant. In a flash, she retaliated with a sharp slap across Jada’s face.

“How dare you raise your voice at me? I’m older than you! Show some respect!”

Jada covered her face, her fury so intense she almost lost control. Since when did this person have the audacity to hit her without hesitation?

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, frustration welling up inside her. But there was nothing she could do. She gritted her teeth, turned around, and walked away.

Meanwhile, Susan felt a surge of satisfaction. She quickly pulled out her phone and sent a message to Madisyn, eager to share the juicy family drama.

At that moment, the members of the Johns family were still in high spirits. Elaine was so overjoyed by the unfolding events that her mind had already jumped ahead to planning the wedding.
