Madam Banners flew into rage out of humiliation and scoffed. "I've been married to your father for more than ten years. Do you think we'd get a divorce just because you said so?”
After reprimanding Roxie, Madam Banners glared at Charles domineeringly.
Charles was the son-in-law who married into her family. He had been suppressed by his wife for so many years. To him, Madam Banners’ words were absolute and he never dared to disobey them.
"Darling, just take a good look at what kind of good daughter you gave birth to? Such an unfilial daughter. We'd not be missing out on anything if we toss her aside."
Charles, however, was no longer as submissive as before and glared at Madam Banners fiercely.
Just from that sharp gaze, it made Madam Banners, the arrogant woman who had always been pampered, feel a sharp coldness. She could not believe that her useless husband would stare at her with such terrifying eyes while keeping his guard up.
"Darling..." she muttered.
"Shut up!" Charles reprimanded her. "If you offend Roxie and the Areses, the Banners are done for. Do you want me to lose the last ancestral property of the
Banners family?"
Madam Banners stared at Charles in disbelief.
When Roxie saw Madam Banners' desperate expression, Roxie could not help but chuckle.
"Are you disappointed, Madam Banners? My father has always been obedient to you, trying to get in your good graces. Now, because of my words alone, he's so indifferent and fierce to you."
Madam Banners roared back. "It’s because of a b*tch like you trying to sow discord. My husband has no choice but to treat me like this."
"How ridiculous. Just because you took my father away from my mother, you think my father really loves you? I'm here to tell you that my father doesn’t love you. He merely covets your glory and wealth. He covets your ability to bring benefits to the Banners family. He’s never loved you, because he loves himself more."
