Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
Why in God’s name did he stop to listen to such nonsense?
“As you wish.”
With a darkened face, Cornell slammed the door behind him.
Audrey felt both relieved and pained after hearing that indifferent response.
Since she had decided to divorce, she thought it wise to get everything done as soon as possible.
Once the divorce was finalized, she wouldn’t have to see Cornell every day and be reminded of her pain.
As the popular saying went, time would heal all wounds.
It could take a few months or even many years.
But one day, she would surely get over Cornell. There were plenty of fish in the sea.
It was six o’clock in the evening.
The driver came to pick up Audrey punctually.
The Clement family house was located in the center of Ardlens. The building was magnificent. Even the garden covered more than 1000 square meters of ground and was well groomed.
Since Audrey got married into the family, the one family member she cared about most was Cornell’s grandfather, Kyler Clement.
Kyler was open-minded and humble, unlike most elites. He didn’t lord it over anyone even though he had the rights to do so. He liked Audrey very much because he thought she was a breath of fresh air for being so simple.
When Cornell informed Kyler that he was getting married to Audrey, Kyler miraculously recovered and was now stronger than he had been in recent years.
Audrey’s heart sank when she thought that she wouldn’t be able to visit Kyler after the divorce.
In the hall, the butler took Audrey’s coat and asked her to wait for a moment. Kyler apparently had visitors now.
Audrey yawned. These days, she always felt so sleepy, which she blamed on the pregnancy. Once the butler told her to wait, she went to the sitting room to catch some sleep.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as she planned. The moment she walked in, a harsh sneer came from behind.
“Oh my! No wonder the air suddenly has a funny smell!” Tessa said sarcastically, pinching her nose as she walked over.
Tessa’s mother heard that Tessa had offended Cornell the other day, so they came here to suck up Kyler.
If there was anyone whom Cornell obeyed in the Clement family, it was Kyler.
Tessa’s mother was afraid that Tessa would say something stupid, so she sent Tessa off to wait in the sitting room. The troublemaker was playing with her phone when she surprisingly saw Audrey here.
Tessa walked up to Audrey with her chin raised, and remarked sarcastically, “You are here to do some asslicking, aren’t you? Gosh!
Even a lap dog has more self-respect than you do!”
It was a known fact that Kyler had a soft spot for Audrey, and he even regarded Audrey better than some of his offspring.
This was one of the reasons why Tessa hated Audrey’s guts.
In her eyes, Audrey was a nobody. How dare Audrey try to fawn over Kyler! What a wishful bitch!
After cussing Audrey out inwardly, Tessa smiled with complacency.
“Anyway, do you have any idea where Cornell is now? Cecilia just told me that Cornell was on his way to pick her up. They are surely coming here tonight. If I were you, I would leave now. It’s better to leave now than staying here to be humiliated.”
Tessa was sharp-tongued and knew how to provoke even the most easygoing people.
As expected, Audrey’s expression changed when she heard that.
“But I have to hand it to you. You are the first confident side chick I have ever seen!”
The more Tessa spoke, the more complacent she became. She approached Audrey’s ear and said contemptuously, “Wake up, dumbo! You are just a plaything for Cornell. How dare you regard yourself as a member of the Clement family! What makes you think you are worthy enough?”
Audrey was already in a bad mood today, and now she was annoyed by Tessa’s constant chatter. She didn’t want any drama. With a sneer, she retorted, “No matter what you say, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m your cousin-in-law. Sit this one out!”
“Bullshit! What are you on about?” Tessa screamed.
What the hell was this crazy woman talking about?
Seeing how pissed Tessa looked, Audrey felt much better.
Audrey shrugged and replied with a smile, “Are you alright? I didn’t speak a foreign language just now, did I?”
There were only a handful of people who knew about Cornell’s marriage to Audrey, including Cornell’s close friends. Cecilia was also aware of it, but she didn’t say a word to Tessa.
Cecilia only saw Tessa as a pawn even though the latter thought they were friends.
“Are you kidding me? You must be out of your fucking mind! Why would Cornell marry someone Like you? Stop being delusional!
Cecilia is the only woman that Cornell would marry. He loves her so much. How could he marry a pauper like you? You must be insane. Go get your brains checked, silly woman!”
Tessa snarled, seething with rage.
Audrey remained calm despite Tessa’s shouting. Audrey just frowned when she realized this wasn’t good for her baby.
Two security guards walked in after hearing the shout from outside.
They asked what was the problem.
“Throw this thing out!” Tessa commanded, pointing at Audrey.
It was a tradition for Audrey to come here to have dinner with Kyler every month. The workers here knew her face and they were aware she was well-liked by Kyler.
Now, the security guards were at their wit’s end.
Seeing their hesitation, Tessa flipped out.
“Don’t you know how to do your jobs anymore? Throw her out right now! If you don’t obey my order, I’ll ask Kyler to fire you!”
The security guards’ faces darkened after hearing Tessa’s arrogant words.
They wanted to give Tessa a piece of their minds, but they couldn’t because she was related to Kyler.
Audrey didn’t expect that Tessa could be so unreasonable. She frowned.
“Tessa, don’t go too far! No human is above the other. In other words, you have no right to speak to them that way!”
“”Ha-ha!” Tessa threw her head back and laughed hard.
“Look at you!
So, you don’t know that money rules the world? Let me tell you. This is the Clement family house. As a relative of the landlord, I have every right to speak to the workers however I want. If you have a problem with that, get lost!”
Audrey shook her head. She had never met someone so unreasonable.
“Loyal security guards are hard to find these days. They neither steal nor pose a threat to the safety of this family. They work hard to earn an honest living. You are dead wrong for treating them Like this!”
Audrey stared Tessa dead in the eye.
It reminded Tessa of the same harsh look Audrey had when Audrey checked the accounts last time.
In a fit of pique, Tessa picked up the glass of juice on the table and poured it on Audrey.
Audrey hadn’t seen this coming, so her clothes were soaked instantly.
The bright suit clung to her skin. She looked down and gasped in horror.
Shaking her head sassily, Tessa sneered, “That’s what you get for not knowing your place. How dare you, a mere pauper whom Kyler took pity on, tell me what to do!”
After saying that, Tessa raised her hand and was about to slap Audrey.
“Stop!” A cold voice came through.
Cornell walked over and looked at them coldly.
Tessa staggered, feeling weak in the knees.
She quickly regained her composure. As far as she was concerned, Audrey was the troublemaker here. Why should she panic?
“Thank goodness you are here, Cornell! This bitch is trying to ruin your reputation. I’ll teach her a lesson for you!”
Cornell glanced at Tessa with a look of impatience.
Tessa failed to read Cornell’s expression. When Cornell shouldered past her and walked toward Audrey, she was still in a daze.
“Can you believe that this bitch called herself my cousin-in-law? She’s out of her mind, isn’t she? It’s dangerous to allow such a crazy woman to continue working for you. Fire her ASAP!”
