Chapter 491


    “You’ve wrongly used Mr. Hughes. He came to see me for work. We’re not having an


    affair. Mr. Hughes really loves you. Please don’t misunderstand him,” Annabelle interjected.


    With how she was finding excuses for Jeremy, she was a far cry from the braggart of the


    mistress she wasst night.


    Jeremy must’ve adored such an understanding mistress. Why else would he have gotten her


    pregnant?


    Natalieughed coldly. She found Jeremy just as revolting as Annabelle. She shrieked, “Do


    you think I’m an idiot? Jeremy, I want a divorce. The both of you won’t need to sneak around


    anymore. You can be together with each other under the sun. I’m not worthy enough to be


    Mrs. Hughes!”


    Jeremy’s expression changed drastically when she said that.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Annabelle was initially dumbfounded. Then, glee enveloped her. She hadn’t expected things


    to go so smoothly. Was Natalie going to divorce Jeremy just like that?


    She immediately turned to nce at Jeremy. Instantly, she felt as though she’d gotten


    punched in the chest. An unexinable terror engulfed her.


    Annabelle could see his pale face. Fury seemed to bail within him. It was a testament to how


    much he cared about Natalie.


    “Nath, you should go home first. I will provide a reasonable exnation for all this,” Jeremy


    said, reaching out a hand to embrace Natalie.


    He hoped that Natalie would forgive him. As to getting a divorce, that was impossible.


    Jeremy would never take another woman as his wife.


    “Please believe us, Mrs. Hughes,” Annabelle added. She couldn’t calm down. She knew that


    she had to take advantage of every opportunity avable.


    Since Natalie had asked for a divorce, she had to use this to her advantage.


    Jeremy roared, “Shut up!”


    Annabelle jumped in surprise.


    When Natalie saw Jeremy scold Annabelle, sheughed even harder. She said, “Stop putting


    on a show in front of me. Don’t further disappoint me and make me loathe you even more!”


    Then, she turned back to Skr and said, “Skye, let’s go.”


    She’d said what needed to be said, and now Natalie wanted to go home and prepare her


    divorce agreement. She had to divorce Jeremy as soon as possible.


    She couldn’t stand the thought of Jeremy sleeping with other women, and Natalie was


    terrified she would go crazy if she stayed.


    Skr put an arm around Natalie’s shoulders. As they left, she red at Annabelle.


    Annabelle hadn’t expected that Natalie had brought Skr with her. Jipsburg was too small.


    In addition, why did Skr’s gaze pierce through her? It was as though she’d gleaned all her


    secrets. Goosebumps rose all over Annabelle at the thought.


    *Skr, help me console her. I will handle this, Jeremy told Skr.


    She stared back at Jeremy emotionlessly. Then, she stated, “Nath is my best friend. Of


    course I’ll stay by


    2/2


    her side.”


    Handle? How would Jeremy handle this? Natálie had already seen a recording of him in bed


    with another woman. Did he think that he could make everything go back to normal?


    Pretending everything was alright never solved any problems. In addition, Natalie valued her


    honor. She would never settle for apromise and couldn’t act like nothing happened.


    “There’s no need to continue talking to him. From today onward, I have nothing to say to


    him. We’re done. Let’s go! I can’t stay here for even a second longer.”


    “Alright,” Skr said. Then, she left with Natalie.


    In the twilight hours, everything had unfolded beyond Jeremy’s expectations. Never in a


    million years had he thought Natalie would find out.


    Jeremy thought he’d been discreet enough. Everything would’ve been settled by today. Why


    had Natalie found him out on today, of all days?


    “Mr. Hughes, what should we do now?” Annabelle pretended to be terrified. Her pale face


    and pitiful questioning painted her as the victim.
