Chapter 708


    Natalie took a deep breath, her hands still tightly sped. “Mom, Dad, Jeremy, I’m sorry. I’ve made


    up my mind. We should get a divorce.”


    Eleanor and Morton stared at Natalie, unable to ept her decision.


    Natalie couldn’t bear to meet their eyes. As soon as her words were out, Jeremy’s intense gaze


    made it even harder for her to face him.


    “I will still see Jeremy and you both as family,” she continued, her voice trembling. “But perhaps it’s


    fate’s doing. I can’t deceive myself any longer. Our marriage ends here.”


    She finally looked at Jeremy, meeting his sorrow–filled eyes. At a loss for further words, Natalie


    waited silently for Jeremy’s response.


    With both sets of parents present, the oue was clear.


    After a long pause, Jeremy finally spoke. “Alright, we’ll get a divorce.”


    The parents exchanged nces, their eyes reddened with emotion. The thought of their children


    divorcing was unimaginable. They had envisioned a future with grandchildren, never considering the


    possibility of separation.


    :


    Edwin and Molly had just returned from Avalon Residence after visiting Ernest Martin. Ernest was


    Gloria’s husband, Jasper Martin’s brother, and


    Edwin’s uncle.


    Edwin held an ancient scroll of painting, its age evident even in its rolled–up state, exuding a rich


    sense of antiquity


    The scroll had an almost irresistible allure, drawing one’s gaze subtly.


    Jenny took a while to refocus after being captivated by the scroll.


    “You’re the daughter of the maid Joe raised?” Molly asked, recognizing Jenny.


    Edwin, though forgetting her appearance, remembered her existence. He


    studied her pure and lovely face.


    “Yes, Mr. Martin, Mrs. Martin, I’m Jenny Scott,” Jenny responded respectfully.


    Molly’s gaze sharpened. “Have you been waiting long?”


    “Not at all. I’ve only just arrived a few minutes ago.”


    Edwin nced at Molly, who understood immediately. “You must havee to see us about


    something. Does Joe know you’re here?”


    2/2


    Jenny looked a bit nervous. “Joe doesn’t know. I didn’t tell him. Actually, he’s too busy to answer my


    calls right now. His focus is entirely on Skr. Oh… I misspoke. Joe is very busy right now.”

    They might not yet know about Joe and Skr’s marriage. If they did, they probably would disagree.


    After all, Skr came from a humble


    background andcked notable standing.


    Molly and Edwin saw through Jenny’s intentions, with Molly immediately recognizing the


    maniptive tactics Jenny was using.


    “Let’s have some lemon tea first,” Molly said gently.


    Skr was discharged from the hospital three dayster. Her wounds were healing well, but the


    doctor rmended a regimen of expensive scar creams to minimize their appearance.
