The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 380

Matilda was surprised that Belinda found out about it. “H-How did you find out?” she stammered.

Belinda looked at her, not a hint of anger shown. “Have you ever thought of the consequences?” she asked calmly.

Matilda didn’t know how to answer that since she truly never thought of the implications; she only wanted to vent that time.

Belinda sighed. “Just get a divorce. Whether you’re a good match is not up to me to judge, but we can’t pay for your shenanigans anymore, Matilda.”

“No, I won’t,” Matilda said. “I won’t get a divorce, never!”

Belinda knew Matilda would behave this way. Standing up, she went to put her album back before continuing warmly, “You can do that, of course, but dragging this out won’t be good for you.”

After placing the album back to where it belonged, she turned around. “Your mercenary has sold you out. If the news outlets know about this, you should know how disastrous it can be.” Putting on a smile, Belinda continued, “You hired a man for this task? I think what you had in mind wasn’t just a simple beat up.”

At this, Matilda pursed her lips, not saying a word. If there was one good trait about her, it was her honesty.

Alphonse had always been a grumpy guy, but despite so, he had a sense of justice. If he found out what she did, he’d kill her.

Staring at her, Belinda continued, “Seeing that you and William were once a loving couple, I’ll at least leave an option open for you, for I don’t want this to end messily. You don’t want to get into an ugly fight too, right? After all, it won’t bode well for you if you do.”

Matilda still didn’t want to give up. “Does William know what you’re doing? What about his opinion? Does he want to get a divorce, too? Just because of this?”

Belinda thought about it before answering, “You can take it that way if you want, Matilda. But honestly, this is just a trigger, a last straw of sorts. It’s disappointment after disappointment with you, Matilda, and he can’t take it anymore.”
