Chapter 618


    Mrs.Stewart became even more infuriated when she heard this.She clutched her chest, unable to


    speak.


    Helen was just crying her eyes out next to her.Her father was not at home, so the two women from the


    Stewarts were obviously suppressed in momentum.


    When Nora was about to take a step forward, Jessica, who was next to her, stepped forward abruptly


    and said loudly, "Mrs.Livingstone, now that''s not very nice! What do you mean Thomas didn''t cheat? Is


    the child in her belly not Thomas’? Did Thomas not have sexual rtions with another woman while he


    is married?"


    Mrs.Livingstone choked at once.


    Jessica went on.


    "My little sister certainly hasn''t given birth to any children, but are women mere baby-making tools? Are


    you saying that the Livingstones and the Stewarts’ union was solely for the purpose of having children?


    If so, then why didn''t you just approach surrogate mothers instead? What is the point of having Helen


    there? Besides, do you have any medical evidence to prove that my little sister is infertile? This is


    complete sophistry.If you cannot produce a medical report, then I will sue you for nder!"


    Jessica was very aggressive, much like a hen protecting her chicks.


    She stood in front of her mother and Helen and blocked them from Mrs.Livingstone.Mrs.Livingstone


    seemed a little afraid of Jessica.She subconsciously stepped back and said, "No matter what, they


    have to get a divorce!"


    "Divorce? Sure, but you have to give my little sister thepensation she deserves.The Stewarts are


    not to be trifled with either!"


    After snapping back at Mrs.Livingstone furiously, Jessica looked at Helen and said, "What is the use of


    crying when your husband has already cheated on you? Times have changed, can''t you even stand up


    for yourself? Helen, I''m telling you, you have to divorce him! Are you nning on keeping that man so


    that he can bring back more illegitimate children?!"


    The sobbing Helen nodded.


    "I will do as you say, Jessica."


    She was thoroughly heartbroken.


    When she got married, everyone had said that she was really blessed to be able to marry into the


    Livingstones.


    Given how close a rtionship the Livingstones and the Hunts shared, she would surely wee a


    good life in the future.


    But who knew that Thomas would actually be such an insect? Mrs.Livingstone sneered, "Jessica, what


    do you mean by that? We Livingstones are decent people, we are not people who indulge in casual


    rtionships! We won''t just want any random woman"


    Jessica sneered, "Oh, really? Considering how you can ept even someone like Cecelia, the


    Livingstones'' standards for women are really too low!"


    Mrs.Livingstone wanted to continue the argument about Cecelia, but she suddenly realized something.


    She sneered, "The problem is not about Cecelia right now; rather, it''s about Helen''s infertility.On top of


    that, she even conspired with a doctor to shift the me onto my son! What a pity for her, though,


    because Cecelia is pregnant, which just so happens to clear my son''s name! On the other hand, even


    though it has been three years since Helen married into the Livingstones, she hasn''t gotten pregnant


    even once, so the problem must lie with her.Since that''s the case, then this marriage should be


    annulled! When the two of them got engaged back then, we had agreed that whoever does something


    wrong after marriage would receive a smaller portion of the joint financial assets! Therefore, Helen can


    only leave the Livingstones penniless!"


    Cecelia was pregnant.


    The timing was simply too sensitive.


    Should news of it spread, everyone would surely know that Thomas had cheated on his wife.


    If that happened, he would no longer be able to hold his head up high in the circle of the wealthy in


    New York.


    That was why Mrs.Livingstone hade over to make a scene.


    Firstly, it was because a married couple''s joint property was indeed difficult to divide.


    Secondly, it was because she mustn''t allow her son to be known as someone who had mistreated his


    ex-wife! She mustn''t allow her son to be the main reason for the marriage’s failure.


    Jessica let out a contemptuousugh.


    Suddenly, she lowered her eyes and said, "We are all respectable people that don''t wish to embarrass


    ourselves.The Stewarts will not ask the Livingstones for even a single cent more than what should be


    given.However, alimony must be given because you made Helen quit her job after she married


    Thomas! Because of that, she now has a three-year unemployment gap in her career!"


    Mrs.Livingstone sneered, "Then what about the money that the Livingstones gave the Stewarts when


    they got married back then?"


    The Livingstones had given them arge sum of money as a wedding gift.


    By saying that, Mrs.Livingstone was demanding even that sum of money back, even though they had


    given it to them as a gift.


    Jessica was about to speak when Helen suddenly looked at Thomas.


    "Thomas, what is the meaning of this?"


    Thomas curled his lips disdainfully and replied, "My mother''s will is also mine! I''ve found you really


    boring since along time ago! You don''t even move at all in bed.It was really no fun at all!"


    Helen turned paler.


    Atst, she lowered her head and said, "Fine, fine...I will return you all that money the Livingstones


    gave us!"


    A shocked Jessica looked at her abruptly.


    "Helen, what kind of nonsense are you saying?"


    If they returned that money, what would outsiders think? Why didn''t they take any money from the


    Livingstones during the divorce? But even gave them money instead? Of course, it was because they


    had done something wrong! People often didn''t care about the details, they only looked at the results.


    Neither would they think that Helen was being generous.


    Instead, they would definitely think that Helen must have done something to let the Livingstones down!


    Helen, however, shook her head.


    "Jessica, I just want to be divorced as soon as possible."


    She didn''t want to be entangled with him any further.She would just cut the Gordian knot.


    This way, she would be able to go home and live a carefree life! Seemingly having understood the


    meaning behind her words, Jessica said nothing more.


    Mrs.Livingstone sneered, "Helen, are you feeling guilty? Well, that makes sense.We won''t hold you


    ountable for wasting my son''s time either.We''ll just let the matter go at that! I just hope that you


    won''t bother my son after the divorce!"


    After that, Mrs.Livingstone, Thomas, and Helen settled on the time and date that they woulde over


    to take the money, as well as when they would sign the divorce papers.


    After making all the arrangements, before the two left, Mrs .Livingstone emphasized once more,


    "Helen, the Livingstones won''t hold it against you and your family this time! But remember this, the


    divorce is because of your infertility.It has nothing to do with the Livingstones!"


    Thomas nodded.


    "Yes, that''s right.Remember this—it''s I, Thomas, who doesn''t want you anymore!"


    After saying that, Mrs.Livingstone and Thomas left.


    After they left, Helen squatted on the floor and suddenly burst into wracking sobs.


    She clutched her head and murmured, "I am so useless.Why couldn''t I just get pregnant? Why? I''m so


    useless..."


    Only then did Nora finally take a step forward.
