What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 607

Staring blankly at the ceiling, Noelle's eyes were dull and void of light, speaking as though she were caught in a trance. "I entered the Sanders family when I was nine. To prove my worth, I studied etiquette, I memorized their rules, I learned exactly how to speak, how to smile, and how to read the room. I worked so incredibly hard, so why am I left with absolutely nothing? People mocked me for being an adopted daughter, warning me not to get cocky. But Elaine defended me. She told everyone I was her daughter too and forbade outsiders from bullying me. Later, when I married Rafael and became The Eldest Daughter-in-Law, my ears were constantly filled with their flattery. So why did Rafael have to die so young? He left me completely alone. All I wanted was to find another protector, but they threw me out..."

Watching her daughter's delusional state, Pearl realized Noelle was still trapped in the glorious illusions of her past.

Just then, Chloe, who had been standing by the door holding takeout bags, walked in. She had heard every single word of Noelle's pathetic monologue.

Chloe sneered. "Noelle, are you genuinely clueless, or just playing dumb? If you had actually managed to marry Finnian, you would have just been a shameless homewrecker stepping over his wife. Think about it—you were his sister, then his sister-in-law, and you still had the audacity to try and become his wife? What, do you think the universe revolves around you? The moment things don't go your way, you act like you're being mercilessly victimized. Wake up and look at reality. Do you have any idea how the outside world is talking about you right now?"

It was as if Noelle had been struck over the head with a heavy club. She jolted, her eyes flying open as she glared venomously at Chloe.

In the past, Pearl would have stepped in to scold her younger daughter, but today, she remained strikingly silent.

Her eldest daughter had simply been too greedy. She had brought half of this ruin entirely upon herself.

"Chloe, say one more word and I'll rip your mouth off," Noelle hissed, her voice dripping with malice.

Chloe planted a hand on her hip and tossed the takeout bags onto a table. "Listen here, princess. This is the last time I'm ever bringing you food. If I ever wait on you again, I'll chop my own hands off. I refuse to claim an arrogant, delusional psycho as family."
