Chapter 39

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?”

“Do you think there’d be any use of you dragging this out?” Charlotte hissed. “Don’t you see how Bri’s belly is getting bigger and bigger every day now? Her marriage to Stefan will undoubtedly happen! You have no right to decide whether or not you’ll get a divorce!”
