What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 446

"I just came from Kaia's."

Finnian's grip on his teacup suddenly tightened. He looked at his mother, saying nothing.

Elaine dropped her designer handbag on the sofa, crossed her legs, and leaned back, taking a deep breath. "Finnian, I've made up my mind. You need to finalize this divorce with her as fast as possible. Don't let her drag down the Sanders family's reputation any further."

Hearing this, Finnian's expression instantly shifted. "What did you say to her?"

"What could I say? I just gave her a reality check. I told her not to be ungrateful and not to bite the hand that fed her." Elaine's anger flared, her voice rising naturally. "You should have seen the way she talked to me. Her attitude, her tone—she acted like you weren't good enough for her. It was laughable. What does she have to be so arrogant about? Her background isn't even in the same universe as ours."

Finnian's face darkened completely. A chilling aura rolled off him, his thin lips pressed into a hard line.

Assuming his silence meant agreement, Elaine continued to push. "Listen to me, Finnian. A woman like that is nothing but trouble. If she's acting like this now, wait until she gets even more power—she'll walk all over you. Besides, once you're divorced, you can easily find someone better, someone more obedient. Why put up with a self-righteous snob who thinks her talent gives her the right to step on you? You can't let a woman control you, and you certainly can't let her become a liability."

The freezing tension radiating from Finnian grew even more oppressive. He suppressed his raging temper, his voice dangerously low. "Are you finished?"

Elaine froze, finally realizing that her son's expression was completely off. He looked furious.
