After the Divorce: From Heartbreak to Heiress Boss novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 I Am Sorry

"I'm your elder, and you expect me to apologize to you? How on earth do you think that's possible?" Taylor stood with her hands on her hips, her chest heaving, clearly agitated.

Leah shrugged and sarcastically retorted, "You always accuse me of being unfilially and disrespectful. But it seems your own sense of filial duty is just as shallow. You won't even utter a simple apology in such a critical moment. What does that say about you? Doesn't that show that you don't care about Madam Worthington's well-being? How will the Worthington family perceive you as their daughter-in-law if word gets out?"

"You..." Taylor was so furious that her face turned bright red. Taylor felt utterly helpless as she couldn't find words to refute Leah.

Turning to Quentin, Taylor slapped her thigh in frustration and cried. "Quentin, just look at her! This is the true color of the supposedly wonderful woman you married! See how badly she's treating me now! She'll do even worse if you don't stand up for me!"

Seeing Taylor in such distress and Leah remaining unmoved, Quentin's gaze darkened, and he finally intervened. "Leah, we are indeed seeking your help, but you shouldn't take it this far."

"Too far? You say I'm going too far?" Leah burst into laughter as if she had heard the most absurd joke in the whole wide world.

She added, "Back then, wasn't your mother going too far as she treated me like a servant? Wasn't she going too far when she scolded me whenever she felt like it? Wasn't she going too far when she accused me of stealing things every other day? How is it that when all I'm asking for is an apology, I'm the one who's gone too far? I used to tolerate everything for your sake, Quentin, but now that we're divorced, do you think I'll continue to endure it?"

Leah's extreme mockery words echoed in Quentin's ears, making him feel strangely uncomfortable.

He parted his lips, wanting to say something, but couldn't find the words to respond.
