In many cases, once the door is opened, the brutal truth behind it might be wildly unacceptable. Amanda’s world fell apart when she found out what was going on in the bathroom.
Vivian was hurriedly putting on her clothes. She looked up and paused when she found that Amanda was glaring at her. She felt greatly ashamed getting caught in the act.
It was different from how she had felt when she was caught cheating with her sister’s fiancé, because Ben Hawk and Joey weren’t really married at the time, but Quentin and Amanda were now validly married.
Much to Vivian and Quentin’s surprise, Amanda didn’t make a scene. She didn’t curse or smack them. She just stared at Vivian and Quentin with increasingly cold eyes and her voice was determined with a repressed quiver in it, “Quentin, I'm divorcing you!”
“No, honey, let me explain…”
Quentin was shocked, reaching out to hold her hand.
“Don’t touch me with your dirty hands.”
Amanda brushed his hands away, looked into his eyes coldly and said slowly, “Sign the divorce papers when we get back home. Or I’ll send you both to court on the grounds of adultery.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked out the room.
Quentin and Vivian were left shocked and silent.
After quite a while, Vivian came to her senses, “What did she say? She will send us to court for adultery? I don’t want to go to jail.”
“Get out!”
Quentin became even more agitated.
Vivian didn't care about whether he was agitated or not. The idea of going to jail was frightening. She grabbed his hand nervously and shook her head, “No, I’m not going to jail. Quentin, please divorce her as quickly as you can. I don’t want to go to jail…”
With a sweep of his hand, Vivian was immediately thrown to the ground. He growled with angry eyes, “I told you, get out of here!”
Divorce? No, never.
