Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 45

Chapter 0045

She strutted in, a sneer on her face. “You’ve now grown the balls, haven’t you?”

“A good day to you too, Rose,” I bit out, mirroring her tone as I sat back in the chair.

Rose was my mother–in–law. It was actually laughable how all of the people I considered family acted far from it. It was safe to say my mother–in–law hated my guts. Or maybe it’s my family’s guts she hates just because the status of my family in the elite society was way below theirs. It was a slap in the face for people below their status to marry into their family or meddle in their affairs. And that was exactly what my family did – married into their family.

According to her, I blinded her son with love and forced my way into the family. I don’t think she knows how much her son dislikes me. If she did, she’d be jubilating.

“I asked you a question, young lady,” she snarled.

I rolled my eyes and turned away from her. I pretended not to hear her. Luigi looked between the both of us and I wondered if he knew Rose. Does he know a lot about me?

My silent dismissal, as usual, provoked her and she hastily moved closer and spat out, her words laced with malice and bitterness. “Do you think if you pretend not to hear, I will let you go?”

I sighed and faced her, “Yes,” I smiled sweetly, “Yes, Rose. I’m having an affair with this wild man here. We’ve just had sex and we’re going to have sex in the car park later, would you want to join? I’m sure this wild man can handle the both of us.”

I heard Luigi make a sad attempt at holding in his laughter. Rose’s face was tinged pink as she furiously blurted out, “You shameless thing! I’ve been pardoning you, I won’t anymore. I will make Mark divorce you Immediately!”

I perked up, “Please, be hasty about it.” Her mouth dropped open, “I would also really like to thank you! after the divorce so expect a thank you letter and gift or even a visit after the divorce has been finalized.”

If she could really make Mark divorce me then I would be saving the one million dollars tahtbhe had demanded. I’d be too happy to buy her a gift to thank her and put the balance to good use.

I peered at her and smiled slightly. “If you can make me regret it, I will take your surpame. That surname you carry with so much pride would be stripped off your certificates.”

And then she turned around and strutted off just as she had done when she came in.

I watched her leave, her back ramrod straight and chin stuck in the air. I’ve never met anyone so proud and crazy. I was sure she would run to Mark and cry to him. I was sure she would add lles to what really happened. I looked forward to seeing her performance and Mark’s reaction. Perhaps he’d angrily sign the divorce papers and send me packing, I thought hopefully with a smile.
