Life at the Top

Shaun and his family chortled at Jasper’s claim.

“Where’d you come from, you weirdo? Acting like you’re some bigshot. Who do you think you are?”

Shaun sneered at Jasper from the corner of his eye, his expression mocking.

“I really don’t understand how there’d be people stupid enough to talk big when they can’t even read the room.”

Shaun continued to speak pridefully, “I suggest you look at who you’re talking to before you start acting like you’re the sh*t. No one dares to talk to the Wellington family like that in Brac County!”

At the same time, Mary glared at Greg and said, “You better think carefully, Greg. Walk out this door now and I’ll never let you back in even if you kneel and beg me.

“How stupid can you be? He just said a few things and you’re already getting ready to leave. Have you ever thought about what you’d have left without the Wellington family? You’ll have nothing without us! They wouldn’t even employ you for construction labor because you’ll cost them more to feed than you can give back!

“What can you even do, huh? Nothing! I’m telling you, without me keeping you alive, you’d die of hunger on the streets in one day!”

Greg looked at Mary coldly and snapped back, “I rather starve and die then!”

Mary did not expect Greg to be so firm in his decision. Having gotten used to Greg bending to her whims all the time, his stubbornness now had her grinding her teeth.

“No! You can’t get divorced!”

Mary’s mom suddenly spoke up.

“The Wellington family is prominent here in Brac County. We’ve already suffered enough shame when Mary got married to you back then. You’re telling me you want a divorce now that people have finally stopped mocking us? The Wellington family will be a laughing stock for the rest of our lives if news of this gets out!”

“People will end up speculating that the Mary Wellington got dumped because you grew tired of her! The Wellington family cannot afford to lose our reputation!”
