Charlotte never expected that Renee, who had always been a pushover, had the guts to fight back.

“You shameless witch!” She cursed furiously. “Why don’t you take a look in the mirror and realize how wicked and depraved you are? You’re just a gold digger whose family was financially ruined! Nothing. about you says you’re worthy of my cousin, and yet, you have the nerve to delay the divorce?”
