The Angeline who had always been meek and humble in front of Chloe suddenly looked as though she had been rubbed the wrong way. Every cell in her body was clamoring for her to fight Chloe.
When she commanded Chloe in that overbearing tone, she was trampling on Chloe's dignity. How could the aloof Chloe possibly stand it?
She was the mother-in-law while Angeline was only a n insignificant daughter-in-law. If Angeline was bold enough to provoke her, then that would mean that she had failed as a mother-in-law.
"How dare you order me around, Angeline Severe? I'm your mother-in-law! You're supposed to respect your elders!" Chloe raged, gritting her teeth.
Angeline was extremely furious. "Chloe Yorks, when I called you 'Mom' back then, I actually regarded you as my mother-in-law. I tried to get along with you, but you behaved nothing like a mother-in-law at all. You s o cruelly and heartlessly tried to break up my marriage with Jaybie, and what I find most intolerable is that you even sling mud at me. From now on, you will no longer be my mother-in-law, so don’t expect m e to obey you."
Chloe sneered, "Hehe. If you don't want to recognize m
e as your mother-in-law, then divorce Jay. Only by getting a divorce will you stop being a burden on Jay. I won't even bother taking one look at you."
Angeline's attractive face alternated between blue and white.
The thought of divorcing Jay had never crossed her mind, but when she saw Chloe's face and her contemptuous gaze... This woman really had no scruples about trampling on her dignity... Angeline's ego refused to take it lying down like a coward.
"What’s wrong? Can't bring yourself to do it?" Chloe's provocations escalated. "Hmph, look at your crippled body. Do you think other men will take you in aside from Jay? Angelina Severe, you're just bullying Jay because he's silly, huh? You cling to him and get him t o take care of you so tirelessly. How selfish could you get?"
Angelina was so furious that her body was shaking violently. Suddenly, she turned around and walked to the coffee table. She spread a paper and took a pen, quickly drafting a divorce agreement. She stamped it with her thumbprint and handed it to Chloe.
"Take a good look, Chloe Yorks. Your son and I are already divorced. You’d better keep an eye on your son and make sure he signs the paper. Also, ask him to never show up in front of me again because he's completely worthless to me right now. Knowing that h e has an unreasonable mother like you has only made me care about him less."
Angeline tossed the divorce agreement on Chloe's face and raged. "Get out of here right now!”
