“It’s really funny! Eduardo knows he’s in the wrong, can’t benefit from it, and now he wants to mock and belittle me through Madeline’s husband!”
“Later, when he comes, you will definitely say, ‘Oh! Madeline is so beautiful, how could she end up with such a worthless guy?'”
“He’s useless and has even been in jail.”
“No father, no mother, earning just a few thousand dollars a month, can’t even afford a house!”
“But my daughter is different. She will definitely marry someone who is incredibly capable!”
“Hehe… I’m telling you, you don’t need to!”
“Madeline is divorcing him soon, and let me remind you, if you don’t want us to become enemies, I advise you not to tell Matteo!”
Paulina scoffed.
“What do you mean? Mocking your son-in-law? Divorce?” Maria was puzzled.
“Pretending! Keep pretending to be clueless! I don’t believe Matteo hasn’t mentioned it to you, that worthless guy!”
“I must have exposed your intentions, and now you’re pretending again!”
Paulina rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and turned to the side.
Maria looked at Madeline and shook her head. “Your father didn’t tell me anything.”
Madeline sighed and turned to Paulina. “Mom, Dad likes him so much. How could he say those things to Maria?”
Upon hearing this, Maria formed a rough impression of Paulina’s son-in-law and couldn’t help but feel doubtful.
Madeline had such good conditions, and if her husband was really as Paulina described, he was indeed quite poor.
“If that child is really that bad, Madeline shouldn’t waste her time on him,” Maria thought for a moment.
Paulina coldly said, “Enough! Just because you say that doesn’t mean I’ll forgive you. The Kaur family’s affairs don’t need your interference.”
“And you don’t need to laugh at me in your heart. After Madeline divorces that useless guy, she will definitely marry into a wealthy family. Our family won’t be worse off than your family in the future!”
Maria remained calm and said, “In fact, I want you to have a better life than my family.”
“Alright, put away your hypocritical thoughts!”
“You know that with Madeline’s qualifications, she will definitely find a better prospective family than your family. If you want to improve our relationship and benefit from it in the future, right?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you succeed.”
“If I can’t compete with you for a husband, then I’ll compete with you for a son-in-law!”
“You can only watch as I become the in-law of a super wealthy family, full of envy and jealousy!”
Paulina looked smug and turned to Madeline. “Why hasn’t that useless guy come yet? Quickly call him!”
Just as she finished speaking, Flynn appeared at the staircase on the third floor. After scanning around, his gaze fell upon Madeline’s cold face, and he walked straight towards her.
“Look at him, that worthless guy! Shaking his head, carefree, so disgusting!”
“I’m starting to feel more disgusted as I look at him! Later, after a few minutes, I’ll quickly take him to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a divorce!”
Paulina looked disgusted and let out a cold snort.
Maria frowned involuntarily.
How bad does it have to be for her sister to despise him so much?
Driven by curiosity, Maria turned her head to look.
At this moment, Flynn was only five meters away from her, and their eyes met, leaving both of them dumbfounded.
Flynn’s mouth twitched.
Oh no! Madeline wanted to introduce her to someone, and that person is Maria, Scarlet’s mother…
Maria’s brain exploded with a loud bang, and she was left speechless.
Madeline’s husband, her daughter’s boyfriend?
What is Flynn up to?
They’re married, and yet he’s involved with her daughter?
What is Scarlet doing?
Knowing that he’s her brother-in-law, she still wants to be with him?
Nonsense! It’s too absurd!
And what is the Kaur family up to?
Isn’t Flynn quite capable? Even the largest pharmaceutical distributor in the Southern Territory has to give him face!
Chaotic! It’s too chaotic!
Shocked, confused, angry-mixed emotions overwhelmed her.
“Is he your son-in-law?” Maria pointed at Flynn and confirmed once again.
Paulina sneered, “That’s right, his name is Flynn, a worthless guy who almost ruined the Kaur family!”
“I don’t agree with Madeline divorcing him!” Maria became emotional and blurted out.
Her words stunned everyone else.
Paulina and her daughter couldn’t understand why Maria had changed her stance.
Flynn didn’t understand the meaning behind her words either.
“Heh, after Madeline divorces him, she will marry into a wealthy family. You know you can’t climb up there, so now you’re against the divorce, letting Madeline waste away with that worthless guy!”
“That way, I can never become an in-law of a wealthy family, and you’ll feel relieved, won’t you?”
“But it’s a pity! Your words won’t work. This marriage is already decided!”
Paulina stared at Maria intently, smirking triumphantly.
“Maria, this is my private matter. I hope you don’t interfere and, more importantly, don’t tell my dad!” Madeline’s face was full of displeasure.
Her thoughts were the same as Paulina’s. Maria couldn’t stand to see the Kaur family doing well!
Indeed, apart from her parents, no one wanted her to succeed!
“Mr. Kaur doesn’t know?” Flynn was somewhat angry.
He didn’t mind getting a divorce and even hoped to end this marriage, which lacked substance, as soon as possible.
But such a major decision should at least be discussed with Matteo, right? Yet, mother and daughter had decided on their own!
Matteo had been in poor health all along. What if he gets seriously ill due to anger?
However, his reaction was interpreted differently by Paulina.
“What do you want to do? Want to call Matteo? Flynn, if you’re a man, don’t waste Madeline’s time. The Kaur family doesn’t owe you anything. Stop being shameless!” Paulina angrily retorted.
Madeline shook her head as well, with a touch of pleading in her voice.
“Flynn, the Kaur family has helped you and your mother for so many years. We have done more than enough.”
“Please let me go.”
“We are not meant to be together.”
Upon hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter, Maria couldn’t help but sigh.
Madeline, oh Madeline, even someone as wealthy as Charlie is willing to give face to your husband!
You’re truly blind!
If he’s worthless, then the rest of us are even worse!
It seems you really are not from the same world as him.
Paulina, you’re so eager to climb the social ladder, dreaming of becoming an in-law of a wealthy family.
Little did you know, your son-in-law is a big shot, he is a wealthy family!
Maria sighed three times in a row, her mouth opening and closing, finally deciding to become a bystander.
What could she say?
Recount yesterday’s events?
Tell them that he’s with Scarlet?
She couldn’t bring herself to say it, it would be too awkward!
Moreover, Paulina was so excited now, would she believe her if she spoke? Better not waste her breath!
“Worthless guy, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you thinking of some twisted ideas to salvage the situation?”
“Let me tell you, even if you kneel down and knock your brains out in front of me, this marriage will still end!”
“Because you’re not worthy of my daughter! Even if you were ten times better, you still wouldn’t be worthy!”
Paulina’s face was filled with anger as she cursed.
Madeline was helpless as well. “Flynn, don’t blame me for being heartless. Divorce is good for both of us.”
“Through this experience, you will grow.”
“And I will have a broader platform.”
Witnessing Madeline’s determination, Maria interjected, “Madeline, before making such a decision, calm down and don’t rush into things.”
“There’s no cure for regrets in this world!”
“Maria, didn’t you hear what I said earlier? The Kaur family’s affairs don’t need your involvement!” Paulina’s face immediately turned dark.
Madeline waved her hand, gesturing for her mother to remain silent. She smiled confidently and said, “Maria, please don’t try to persuade me anymore. This is my well-considered decision.”
“Flynn and I are not compatible!”
“I will never regret divorcing him!”
Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Flynn shrugged helplessly and said, “Fine! When do you want to divorce? I’ll go with you.”
“Now!” Madeline’s face was resolute.
