She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment

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!” 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 a large 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 a long time ago! You don’t even move at all in bed.
It was really no fun at all!”

Helen turned paler.
At last, 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 accountable 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 that, Mrs.
Livingstone, Thomas, and Helen settled on the time and date that they would come 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.
She said, “It’s not your fault.”
