Scenes like this had played out too many times.
So afterward, Thane didn’t dwell on it.

After all, he was Mrs. Cole’s only son. No matter what, he would always be her only support.
When it came to interests and benefits, perhaps his mother was more trustworthy than me.
After this incident, Mrs. Cole first locked herself in her room for two full days, then called me, asking me to go shopping with her.
Naturally, I couldn’t refuse.
But I just never expected that we would coincidentally run into Thane and Lily, also shopping at the same mall.
Just an hour earlier, he had called his daughter, saying he was too busy with work, that he had to go abroad for a few days, so he couldn’t make it home for his daughter’s birthday tomorrow. He felt terrible about it, he said, and had bought lots of gifts to make up for it.

But now, with his mistress hanging on his arm, there was no trace of that supposed hurry.
At the end of the day, he’d simply become a bad person.
I wasn’t as devastated as I had been before.
But I wasn’t magnanimous either…
In public, my husband had his arm around another young, beautiful girl, acting as if nothing was wrong, without a hint of guilt or remorse. And that foolish girl kept shooting me challenging looks.
Since they had no shame, why
ould I save face for them?
“What’s this? Are homewreckers so brazen these days? You can hang onto your sugar daddy’s arm so comfortably right in front of his wife?”

“And you just called your daughter to say you’re going on a business trip, then turned around to shop with your mistress? What a time management expert you are.”
I spoke loudly enough for everyone in the mall to hear clearly, causing people to stop and
stare.
In an instant, Lily’s face turned extremely ugly.
Thane’s expression went cold just as quickly. He looked at me coldly: “Sophie, stop making a
scene!”
After all, he was a businessman. In public, he still cared about his image.
But he had thrown away his own dignity. So he couldn’t blame me for not wanting to
preserve it anymore.
“What? Aren’t you my husband? Isn’t this woman your kept mistress?”
At this point, I deliberately paused.
“Actually, if you don’t want your mistress to feel uncomfortable, it’s simple. Let’s get
divorced, and you can marry whoever you want. I won’t cause scenes in front of you, you won’t think I’m crazy, and everyone can be happy. Isn’t that better?”
“I’ve said it before–I will absolutely not divorce you!”
Thane refused once again, unmoved even as many disapproving glances fell on him.
I laughed.
“You won’t let me go, but you can’t give up your toys either. Thane Cole, what the hell gives you the right?”
Mrs. Cole, who had been silent/until now, suddenly pushed me,
“What gives him the right? He’s my son. He’s young and successful. You tried to climb the “What gives him the right? He’s my son. He social ladder by marrying him, so this suffering is what you deserve.”
Mrs. Cole’s face was mocking. Then she waved at Lily,

Lily smiled and approached Mrs. Cole.
“Auntie, I’m Lily. Thane has feelings for me.”
She pretended to be sweet and obedient as Mrs. Cole took her hand.
“Good girl, you seem much more likable than Sophie. Auntie likes you very much. If only you could be my daughter–in–law.”
“Mom, what are you saying?!”
Thane frowned, looking displeased.
Mrs. Cole glared at him: “Back then, I told you not to marry Sophie, but you wouldn’t listen.
You even solemnly promised me you would love her forever. Now haven’t you fallen for
another girl anyway? I think Lily is very nice, and we get along well. Why don’t you divorce
Sophie and marry Lily?”
Hearing this, Lily couldn’t hide her delight. She turned to look expectantly at Thane.
As for Thane, his gaze fell on my face, his eyes filled with complexity I couldn’t decipher.
After a long moment, he said: “Sophie is my wife. We’ve been married for ten years. We absolutely will not divorce.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Cole just smiled, then looked at me.
“Fine. I don’t like Sophie allg
In the future, bring Lily to see me more often, okay?”
At this, I couldn’t help but speak up: “Mom, are you going to humiliate me too?”
Mrs. Cole laughed coldly: “Who told you to be so unlikable?”
The next moment, tears spilled from my eyes. I covered my mouth and fled in
embarrassment.
