Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel 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 relations 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 slander!"

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 the compensation 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 planning 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 relationship the Livingstones and the Hunts shared, she would surely welcome 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 relationships! We won't just want any random woman!"

Jessica sneered, "Oh, really? Considering how you can accept 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 blame 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 had come 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 become the main reason for the marriage's failure.

Jessica let out a contemptuous laugh. 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!"
