Chapter 277
I hate you, Alex! Didn't you have a sweet and comfortable life back with your grandma? Why did youhave to come to Dusktown?! As Brian was her husband and her children's father, Rachael wasreluctant to share her husband's love with Alex. Thus, the boy became a pain in her neck as she madeit her priority to drive him away from home without leaving a mark on him. After all, she believed her lifewith her family would be back to normal once Alex was back at Sanguine Mountain.
As a grown lady, Rachael was grateful that Alex was just a child because there were so many waysshe could think of to torture the boy. Yes! I must torture this annoying child! After all, Rachael wasconvinced that Alex wouldn't want to leave Dusktown if she let him live comfortably with them.Therefore, she dedicated her time and energy to torture the boy, in order to send the latter a messagethat he didn't belong with them in Dusktown.
A few days ago, Rachael learned from Alex's teacher that he left with his classmate's mother when theboy didn't return home. She then called the mother of Alex's classmate and was told that the childwanted to return to Sanguine Mountain. Upon hearing that news, she was over the moon, feelinggrateful that her sacrifices and hard work had finally paid off. After Alex left, Rachael's mood improvedtremendously, as she was delighted that her bitter days were gone. However, her happiness was short-lived when Alex returned with Belle a few days later. Things then took an unexpected turn when Belleand Brian turned their backs on her. How come things are becoming worse?! My mother-in-law wants apiece of our fortune for Alex, while Brian wants to divorce me. Brian, how can you do this to me?! Ourchildren are so adorable and lovely. How can you desert me and abandon your children?! At thatmoment, Rachael was convinced that Brian and Belle were both out of their minds, deeming themother and son lunatics deep down. She then clenched her fists and glared at Belle, challenging thelatter angrily, "What do you think of our fortune?! A huge pie that you can just take a huge piece of? No,we don't have much money left!"
"What are you talking about?!" Brian shook from head to toe with rage.
"I'm telling the truth." Rachael glacially added, "Do you seriously think you're really well off? With theamount of money you're making, your pay is considered average in Dusktown. While I can't workbecause I have to look after our kids, we are all forced to live off you to make ends meet. Furthermore,Lucy and Larry's medical bills cost hundreds of thousands every year because of their poor health. If itweren't for my parents who aided us financially, we would be burdened by heavy debts that would milkus dry."
While every bystander was stunned by Rachael's shameless response, Leigh sniggered audibly in asarcastic manner. "I thought you were just heartless for having starved the poor boy, Alex, but it turnsout that you're also a stingy woman who is too parsimonious to spend a single penny. I bet it must havehurt a greedy woman like you to have one more mouth to feed, right? No wonder Alex looks so skinny.Poor him!"
"Shut your mouth up!" Rachael berated the doctor. "You're an outsider who is in no position to judgeour domestic matters!"
"We're not outsiders." Madeline said, "We're lawyers Mrs. Carter had hired. Since you insist that youdon't have a single penny left, we'll have no choice but to proceed with the necessary legal actions andlet the court investigate whether you're lying."
"Y-You…" Rachael blanched, shifting her attention to Belle. "Are you sure you want to do this, Mom?!Why are you messing around at Brian's workplace? Do you know how difficult you're making his lifewhen he gets promoted in the future? He is your son, so how can you do this to him?!"
"Well, that's exactly what you're taking advantage of, isn't that? You're playing on my sympathy andcounting on it to make me go easy on Brian so that you can continue to hurt Alex, right?" Belle lookedaskance at Rachael with a glacial expression on his face. "You miscalculated, Rachael! I would havedied a long time ago if it hadn't been for Yuri. Thus, I owed her my life, and I'll never forget that shesaved me from the brink of death. However, I let her down because my son turns out to be an ingrate!Because of that, I only have one son but you, Brian! You're heartless, and you don't deserve to be myson at all!"
Meanwhile, Rachael was stunned to hear Belle's words, convincing herself that Belle had gone nuts forhumiliating her son in front of so many other people. No mother would ever embarrass her son like that.How is Brian expected to continue working here? How is he going to face his colleagues? This old ladyis a madwoman! She is completely out of her mind!
On the other hand, Brian was left feeling ashamed of himself with a pale look on his face. At the sametime, his mind went blank as he could only think of one thing—a divorce. I must divorce Rachael. Sheis the reason the relationship and trust between me and my mother have been ruined! So, Rachael andI must be separated! "We're going to divorce, Rachael!" He gritted his teeth and said in a determinedmanner, "I will give you the share of my fortune that you deserve after our divorce, but what's mine willbe given to my mother and Alex."
"Don't even think about that!" Rachael screamed. "If you ever dare to file for a divorce, I commit suicideand take Lucy and Larry with me!"
"Go ahead then!" Brian was seen with his bloodshot eyes that were filled with madness. "Because I'mgoing to join you soon and look after the kids in the afterlife."
Rachael froze in a trance, staring at Brian while murmuring to herself, "A-Are you out of your mind,
Brian?! We used to be a lovely couple, plus Lucy and Larry are your adorable children, so how can youbear to see your beautiful family fall apart? How can you bear to divorce me? How can you do that?!"
"You have yourself to blame for everything that ended up this way because you started it by hurtingAlex first!" Brian bellowed at Rachael with a pair of red eyes. "You're wearing like a million dollars withyour fancy clothes and expensive jewelry, yet you only gave my mother two thousand every month?!How could you do that to them, Rachael?! Where is your goddamn conscience?! Where is your senseof shame?!" As an educated and civilized intellect, Brian couldn't have thought of a harsher way to puthis word. Deep down, questioning Rachael's sense of shame was the most severe way Brian couldever think of to criticize his audacious wife.
Despite the mild offense behind Brian's words, Rachael was still provoked and piqued. After all, Brianhad always been a tender, tolerant and loving man ever since they got married. Therefore, when Brianquestioned her sense of shame, she couldn't help but feel her anger surging through her. She thenspoke with a shaking voice. "How could you say this to me, Brian?! I'm your wife, and I gave birth toyour children for you. Are you an animal?!"
"You're right. I'm an animal, which is all the more reason we should divorce." Brian, who could hardlypull himself together, announced, "Once we divorce, you're free to replace another man with whom youcould entrust the rest of your life. If you want to keep Lucy and Larry, I could let them stay with you, andI'll be sure to pay the alimony you deserve without a single penny less; but if you don't want the kids tobe with you, I could keep them instead, or we could both keep each one of them. I'll grant you any wishas long as you agree to divorce, but there is one thing I can tell you for sure—I will file for divorcewhether you like it or not."
