Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Humiliate me? I'll fight back!

Late at night.

Madelyn returned to the apartment with Vivian.

After a long night, although they were exhausted, they couldn't sleep.

Madelyn poured a cup of hot cocoa for Vivian.

She wanted to console her but didn't know how to start...

Vivian sat on the couch, holding the hot cocoa absentmindedly. After a while, she looked up and asked softly, "Madelyn, do you think I'm cheap?"

Madelyn shook her head. "Never!"

She knew all too well the grievances Vivian had endured from beginning to end.

Vivian lowered her gaze.

Tears fell into the cup, drop by drop...

She had truly loved Jackson.

Even though he was a scumbag, she had genuinely loved him.

Trembling, Vivian said with a shaky voice, "I want to smoke! Madelyn... I want a cigarette."

Madelyn took out a pack of cigarettes from Vivian's handbag. Vivian took one and held it with trembling hands, then lit it and took a deep breath before she mustered the courage to continue.

"Elizabeth had an amniocentesis. It's a boy in her womb. Jackson's parents took her into their house, serving her several meals a day and even having the servants call her 'Madam.'"

Vivian looked at Madelyn. "Madelyn, I want a divorce."

Madelyn agreed.

However, Madelyn was afraid that Jackson wouldn't let go just like that when she saw him.

Vivian laughed at herself.

"Do you think Jackson has ever cared for me?"

"No, he's afraid that something might happen to Elizabeth's pregnancy."

"If he divorce me for the sake of that belly but Elizabeth fails to deliver, then Jackson will become a laughingstock."

...

Madelyn was stunned.

Vivian finished smoking a cigarette and spoke softly, "Madelyn, I'm afraid my affair with Grayson will affect you! Grayson told me that you get along well with Bryson... but Bryson's mother is not easy to deal with."

Madelyn patted her hand.

"Vivian, let's not talk about that."

But deep down, Madelyn had a vague feeling.

Bryson stood her up tonight, and it seemed to be related to Grayson and Vivian's situation. However, even so, she wouldn't blame Vivian in the slightest. When she was going through the most difficult time, Vivian did everything she could to help her.

That night, the two girls slept on the same bed.

They both had concerns and couldn't sleep well.

Early in the morning, Jackson arrived. He stood outside the door, his eyes bloodshot.

"Vivian is here, right?"

Madelyn responded with a soft "Hmm" and let him in through the side door.

She calmly poured a glass of water for Jackson and placed it on the coffee table. "I'll call Vivian out. You two should talk it out."

Madelyn looked at them peacefully.

Jackson was quite surprised and hesitated before asking, "How is she?"

Madelyn smiled faintly, "Your parents have taken Elizabeth into their house, and you're asking about Vivian? Jackson... How many people envied your marriage back then? Now, there are just as many people disappointed."

Jackson touched his nose, feeling uncomfortable. He said, "I was just fooling around. Vivian was also with Grayson..."

Madelyn didn't say anything more.

She went into the room and called Vivian, "You two talk. See what he wants."

After a moment, Vivian came out.

When the husband and wife saw each other, it was different from before.

Perhaps the previous night's argument had drained their energy, and today, they had no more strength for aggression. Vivian sat across from Jackson, a bit absent-minded, and said, "Let's get a divorce."

Jackson stared at her.

After a while, he said, "My parents took Elizabeth in without my consent! I didn't mean it, Vivian... You'll always be my wife! As long as you break things off with Grayson, we can still be like before."

Vivian looked out of the window absentmindedly.

Her voice was distant, "Did your parents also make that child come to the world?"

Jackson fell silent.

Vivian did mean a lot to him, but having a son to carry on the family name was also important.

Elizabeth was currently carrying the child of their lineage, being treated like a queen by his parents. No one could shake her position.

Seeing his expression, Vivian suddenly laughed.

She said, "Jackson, how blind was I to be with you? Look at you, coward. Let me be honest with you, ever since I got involved with Grayson, I no longer care about being your pathetic rightful wife. Give that title to whomever you want."

Jackson didn't want to insist.

She had already been with Grayson, and his parents had scolded him to no end. It was pointless to plead with her.
