Natasha looked disappointed. “I can’t believe you’re my daughter. How did you manage to get divorced at this age? Do you have any idea how embarrassed I am?”
Matilda was about to get into a big fight with her mother, but the sudden announcement took her by surprise. “What are you talking about, Mom?”
Natasha sneered. “I said you’re getting a divorce, so what are you going to do about it? Mrs. Constance herself came personally and said she wants you and William to finish the paperwork as soon as possible. They’ll give you your share of the wealth, so don’t worry about it.”
Matilda forced a smile, refusing to believe it. “Yeah, right, as if they’d do that. Others aside, I know William won’t.”
Natasha looked at her in disbelief. “His mother came here herself. That’s saying something. Also, how can you be so sure William isn’t tired of you? Matilda, I’m your mom, and even I can’t stand you. How do you expect William to put up with you?”
Matilda didn’t want to believe this, and she insisted, “No. I know he isn’t tired of me. He isn’t!” Fetching her cell phone over, she quickly called William, but nobody picked it up after a long while, and her face fell.
She made multiple calls, but nobody picked it up, so she put her phone down. Looking up at her mother, she turned a tad panicked. “Mom, what did my mother-in-law say?”
Natasha stared at her for a while, then she sighed, her voice cold still. “She said you and William aren’t a good match. Plus, they don’t think they have what it takes to please you, and the Constances have problems of their own, so they have no time to handle your matter. Mrs. Constance wants you to go through the divorce paperwork with William as soon as possible. They’ll come up with the agreement, and she promised you’d get your dues.”
