Zayne never expected his single act of unfaithfulness would immediately close the door to his relationship with Josie.

If he had known earlier that his relationship with Emmy would have such serious consequences, he would never have done such a thing.

Nonetheless, everything was too late.

By the time Jens brought Emmy over to Chateau de Selene, Emmy stood beside Zayne so openly that it was not until she saw Angeline's cold eyes that she moved away from him slightly. Angelina introduced herself to Emmy. "I'm Angeline Severe, Zayne's little sister. Although he's the elder one, I'm the one in charge of all of the Severe family's affairs."

Emmy was stunned. She had always assumed that the rich would run things in a patriarchal way. She did not expect the Severes to do the opposite.

Angeline said, "Do you really like Zayne?"

Emmy immediately nodded continuously and said earnestly, "Yes. I'm truly in love with Zaynie. Be it poverty or wealth, I'll never dislike him because of that." Josie bit her lip secretly. She could not help but mock

Emmy. "Why? Do you think that I married him for his money? When I fought for him, he had nothing to his name."

Afterward, she shot a resentful glare at Zayne.

Her words evoked some of Zayne's fond memories of her. Josie's love for him was so innocent and pure.

Emmy said in a low voice, "You ladies from wealthy households are too domineering. Zaynie's been living his life without an ounce of dignity."

Josie was fuming in anger.

Angeline patted Josie's hand, signaling her to stay calm.

Angeline smiled and asked Emmy, "I heard that you're divorced?"

It was as if someone had trampled on Emmy's sore spot. Hence, she started pushing all of the blame onto her ex-husband. "My ex-husband was abusive toward me, and he had zero sense of responsibility toward his kid. He barely batted an eyelid toward us. The money he earned was not spent on our kid, and he could not care less when our kid got sick. I lost my patience and chose to divorce him."

Angeline looked at Zayne and started making oblique accusations. "Oh? So you divorced your ex-husband because he abused you and failed to care for your child?" Zayne stared at Angeline in a daze and said, "Don't

you have an ounce of sympathy, Angeline?"

Angelina looked at Zayne coldly and snarled. "Do you think she had it that rough in comparison to what Josie has been through?

"Think about it, Zayne. After Josie

gave birth to Joseph, you created a

ruckus about wanting to go to

าวน

Sacred Land with Jaybie. They went there for a mission, yet you went there in hopes of traveling about. Josie had to pick up your role as a father as well as continue being a mother to raise Joseph with your absence. How many sleepless nights did Josie go through when Joseph fell ill just to take care of him? Has she ever complained to you about it? When Josie got sick, she was never able to get a good rest and still woke up diligently to take care of your child.

"And what about you? For so many years, you fought for your so-called career, yet how much have you actually brought back to Josie? You failed to care for your wife and son when they fell ill, yet you act all tyrannical around Josie. You've been freely expressing your

dissatisfaction toward her whenever

you're in a bad mood. What's so

different between what you've been

doing and emotional abuse?

"If Josie were anything like Emmy, I'm telling you she would've divorced trash like you a long time ago. But Josie loved you, hence she was able to tolerate your incompetence. But you didn't know how to appreciate it."

Angeline's words immediately made Zayne and Emmy feel too ashamed to raise their heads.

Zayne felt like he had woken up from a dream.

He thought that Josie's life had been carefree and peaceful, but in fact, she had been quietly tolerating all of life's difficulties.

She never once complained about him failing to make a living, nor did she complain about him not taking care of her and their sick child. At most, she would perhaps nag at him for a short while. Nonetheless, he was unable to endure even this much.
