It was clear that Jacob was in a state of utter desperation at that moment.


    Seeing this, ine felt a surge of victory. With a sneer, she taunted, “Jacob Wilson, you pathetic old man. Why are you being so pitiful right now? Are you trying to win our daughter’s sympathy? Should I remind her of all your past affairs?”


    Before Jacob could respond, ine continued with a mocking tone, “You used to be quite the celebrity back in school, didn’t you? Everyone knew about your rtionship with Matilda. Yet, even with a girlfriend, you still acted like a womanizer. You took advantage of me and tarnished my innocence! I’ve suffered and wasted half my life because of you. And now, you think of divorcing me? There may be many scoundrels in the world, but none canpare to you!”


    Jacob felt as if his heart had been struck by a freight train.


    In that moment, he recognized that he would never be able to triumph over this woman in his lifetime.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As long as she was around, true happiness would remain out of his reach.


    Thus, Jacob transitioned from soft sobs to desperate cries.


    ire watched the scene unfold, feeling a deep sense of sadness.


    She realized that she had never wished for her parents to divorce until now. But if they stayed together, it would lead to endless fights like the one unfolding before her.


    This cycle of conflict ensured that neither of them would find happiness.


    If this was to be their future, it appeared very bleak indeed…<fn3f9e> Th?s chapter is updated by FιndＮovel</fn3f9e>


    Just then, ire received a text from Loreen: “ire, I returned to the vi at Thompson First earlier. Before entering, I overheard Uncle and Aunt having a heated argument. Should we go home to check it out?”


    ire quickly replied, “I’m already home.”


    Loreen responded, “That’s good. I think it’s better for me to stay at the hotel for a few days. It would be too awkward otherwise.”


    ire felt a wave of regret wash over her.


    She had initially wanted to invite her best friend to stay at her house, so Loreen wouldn’t have to be alone in a hotel.


    However, she never anticipated that her father would host his first love in their home right after they moved in.


    And after entertaining his first love, her mother disappeared only to return and start arguing again. If ire were in Loreen’s position, she would also want to escape as far away as possible.


    With a heavy heart, ire sent another message to Loreen: “I’m sorry, Loreen. You cane back when things have settled down here.”


    Loreen quickly replied, “Don’t worry about me. You should focus on your family situation.”


    In the past, Loreen had often felt envious of ire for finding a good man like Charlie.


    However, at this moment, that envy had diminished significantly.


    Loreen came to realize that ire’s family was far too dysfunctional. If she had to live in such a chaotic environment, she would have fallen apart long ago.


    Meanwhile, Jacob had retreated to his room, still weeping. Seeing him escape, ine lost interest in the argument and dered triumphantly, “Oh, I’m going to enjoy a long soak in my big bathtub now. Finally, I’ll be sleeping at the vi at Thompson First tonight! Hahaha!”


    Once ire observed that her parents had retreated to their respective rooms, she turned to Charlie, exasperated, “I’m really exhausted. My head is pounding. I’m going to take a bath; otherwise, I might just copse…”


    Thinking about the prospect of being upgraded to the bed tonight, Charlie quickly followed ire with a smile on his face…<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
