Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 55

The Crawfords always did as they said.

The day Winifred mentioned divorce was the day she kicked Claudia out of the house.

Claudia had nothing to carry but some luggage.

Winifred would never let her take Conrad.

She said she would talk about the custody and alimony with Claudia later, after the divorce papers were signed.

When Kim drove over, she saw Claudia standing by the roadside, alone, with a white suitcase standing beside her.

“Oh my god!”

Kim gasped and pulled over. She helped Claudia put the luggage in the trunk. Claudia then got into the car.

Kim held Claudia's hand in the car. She looked at Claudia with great concern in her eyes, “What’s going on?”

Claudia shook her head. She didn't even know where to start.

She didn't know how to explain.

The only thing she knew was Hanna's message, which told her that the old house would be auctioned soon, and asked her to call her back as soon as possible.

However, when she called back, Hanna didn’t answer. She hadn't reply till now.

Ben picked her apart, and Winifred took her anger out on her. Then she was driven out of the family.

She sat there dumbly and said. She had tried so hard to save this marriage, but nothing was left now.

She loved the man for over a decade, and he gave her nothing.

Her heart hurt like crumbled. The pain was so sharp that after a while, her heart went numb, and she couldn't do anything anymore.

Kim took a deep breath and tried her best to talk Claudia out of depression. It had taken her quite a while to know what had happened.

As soon as she knew the full picture, the flames of anger sparkled and blazed. Her blood was surging in her veins.

Kim drove Claudia back to her apartment and helped her to settle down. After Claudia got freshen up, she made up an excuse that she went out to grab some food. Then she drove back to the Crawford Family's house.

She had to try very hard to hold back her anger when she was ringing the doorbell. She told herself that she wouldn't be rash, and would talk to these people nicely.

However, as soon as the housekeeper let her in, she saw Winifred sitting on the sofa gracefully, with the superior gaze and postures like a queen.

Winifred looked up at Kim with disdain in her eyes, asking, “Are you here to stand up for Claudia, or just pick up her stuff.”

Before Kim answered, Winifred continued, “You don't have to sweet-talk me. We deserve a better daughter-in-law like that. If you're here to grab her things, just go upstairs with the housekeeper.”

Winifred's indication was obvious. She was using this incident to trigger Ben and Claudia's divorce. She couldn't wait to get rid of the pain in her neck and save the family's reputation. At the same time, she could also have her grandson with her. In that way, she could get many things done in one go.

Kim looked at her and grinned a disdainful smile. She approached Winifred slowly until she stood right in front of her.

“Judging by your age, I should call you Aunt Crawford, right?”

That was a good start. It sounded kind, which meant that she hadn't lost control.

Winifred frowned and looked at her.

“When you're a senior at that age, you should act like one! Think twice before you speak or do things! It was their marriage, so it should be their decision to make! It has nothing to do with you if they'll continue this relationship or not! You're in no position to intervene!”
