"Mrs. Coldsworth, don’t get the wrong idea. I kissed Mr. Coldsworth because of hormones. It didn’t mean anything."
"Honestly, women shouldn’t be too selfish. Many women want a man like Mr. Coldsworth. But he only keeps you around. You should be grateful."
I didn’t even look at her. I just said calmly, "Didn’t your mother teach you not to interrupt people when they’re speaking? Or did you not have a mother?"
Regina’s eyes turned red immediately. Seeing this, Michael raised his hand and slapped me without thinking. It was the first time he had hit me in our eight years of marriage. He seemed to regret it right away, but still stood firm.
"Elizabeth, don’t go too far. You’re an orphan yourself. How can you say something so cruel?!"
I didn’t want to argue anymore. When I left home, my family didn’t help me at all. They even locked my records.
That was why Michael only knew me as an orphan.
But now, who was really in the wrong?
"Yes, I’m cruel, but it’s still better than getting someone pregnant before our divorce!"
