And what is that you are wearing? You’re a disgrace to our family!
You’ve been married to my son for years, and yet you still dress like a pauper. Shame on you! Get out of here!”
“Disgrace?”
Lucinda chuckled at Amanda’s words.
“After I married into your family, you fired all the servants and forced me to quit my job. Then you made me take care of your son. And I did everything you asked me to do. But were you ever satisfied?
No. You accused me of stealing your jewelry and punished me by making me kneel outside in the rain. Do you remember those?”
The ladies behind Amanda looked uncomfortable. They knew that Amanda was always mean to Lucinda, but they had no idea that she had gone to such lengths to torture her.
As the air grew thick with tension between them, the ladies decided to make a hasty exit using any excuse they could muster.
“What? What the hell are you talking about?”
Amanda tried to interject, but Lucinda’s rapid-fire speech made it difficult.
“Don’t play dumb. You know exactly what I’m talking about.”
Lucinda declared, her chin held high, “I’ve had enough of your crap.
If you ever try to mess with me again, I’ll make sure you pay for all your past deeds!”
Amanda couldn’t believe the transformation in Lucinda’s behavior.
Was her once submissive daughter-in-law now standing up to her?
“You used to just act like you were gentle before us?!”
The more Amanda pondered on it, the angrier she became. Clenching her fist, she threatened, “I won’t let this slide. I’ll tell Nathaniel to divorce you! Even if you get down on your knees and beg me, I will never forgive you!”

Lucinda wasn’t fazed. A look of contempt played across her face as she sneered.
“Oh, I forgot to mention. Ten minutes ago, I divorced him. Even if you get down on your knees to beg me, I won’t set foot in the house of the Roberts family ever again.”
Divorced? They had just gotten divorced?
How was that possible?! Amanda was in disbelief. Lucinda had always shamelessly clung to the Roberts family, and now she had given up and left just like that?
Suspicion crept over Amanda as she watched Lucinda walk away. She needed to confirm this. Without wasting any time, she dialed her son’s number and asked, “Is it true? Have you really gotten a divorce?”
“Yes.” Nathaniel’s frown deepened as he asked, “Where did you hear that from?”
“Who else? I bumped into Lucinda on my way back. That little bitch just yelled at me.”
