Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

“Heh, now you’re pushing everything onto me? Aren’t you ashamed? Was it me who made you cheat? Was it me who made you seek out women behind my back, impregnating one, causing a media scandal?” Juliet Jordan erupted, ready to voice the grievances she had endured over the years, “Don’t you forget what you told me when you married me! You said you would love only me for the rest of your life and would never betray me. I believed you, and insisted my brother invest in you. No sooner had my brother given you the money to make it big, than you started keeping mistresses behind my back!”

“Now you’re blaming everything on me. Who would believe that if you said it out loud? Do you think Enna Clark will believe you, behaving like this?”

“She probably knows better than anyone what kind of person you are, so don’t bother putting on this act. No one’s going to look!”

Jacob Clark’s hidden thoughts had been exposed, causing his face to flush a sequence of shades from pale to red to purple, creating a riotously colorful display.

His darkened face once again flashed with rage born of embarrassment.

He raised his hand and slapped Juliet Jordan across the face, “Slut!”

Juliet Jordan’s hair was thrown into disarray by the slap. She had lived a pampered life and rarely suffered such indignity. Her eyes reddened with fury as she stared daggers at Jacob Clark and hissed through clenched teeth, “I’m the slut? Ha! Yes, I am a slut, for if I weren’t, I would have divorced you long ago, Jacob Clark. Don’t think I’m unaware of the mistress you’re still keeping on the side! I’m warning you, don’t push me too far. If you do, I will divorce you right here and now, and the media will hear exactly what I want them to hear.”

The company was already in dire straits, and if a divorce scandal broke out at this time, he would truly be finished. Jacob Clark wanted to strangle her in his heart, but had to begrudgingly step back, “Go ahead and divorce, then. After that, I’d like to see how you support our worthless daughter overseas, who’s only good at causing trouble.”

Juliet Jordan’s heart had completely cooled the moment he stepped back.

She had seen through him, her fatalistic feelings extinguished. Biting her bloodied lip, she stood up, straightened her messy hair and clothes, and managed to preserve the last of her dignity. She spoke calmly, “So, it seems you also understand that we each took what we needed from this marriage. You’d better remember well that if you want to lose your temper, don’t do it at home. I’m not the woman for you to lash out at. If you want to vent, go find that college student you’re keeping!”

There was a peephole installed on the servant room door in the living room, through which one could see the outside.

Jasmine Clark had watched everything happening outside through the peephole, and had heard every word of Jacob Clark and Juliet Jordan’s conversation distinctly.

It was precisely because she could see and hear everything clearly that she was on the verge of a breakdown.

How could things have come to this?

Hadn’t her parents always been respectful and loving toward each other? When did Dad start keeping a college student on the side? And in Dad’s eyes, was she really just trash? Incapable of success and only good at causing failures?

Was this still her home, her Mom and Dad?

Jasmine Clark was devastated, feeling completely disoriented.

She stumbled to her bed, teeth clenched, and pulled out her phone from her handbag, starting to search for news online.

—— Clark Family set to change hands.

—— Clark Family to be acquired.

Connecting it with the conversation she had overheard earlier, she understood it all at once—Enna Clark!
