Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 2018

Chapter 2018 Rented A Boyfriend

“Let's talk inside, MadilynNorton suggested. “I'm so glad you're back.”

As it turned out, he too, knew how Mildred used to bully Lorraine and Madilyn.

However, his business had just taken off then, and he barely had time to tend to his family affairs. He knew he

couldn't talk sense into Mildred either, so all he could do was check in with Lorraine.

He'd offer to compensate the latter for her trouble whenever they met, but she always turned it down. Instead,

she'd criticize him for his betrayal in their relationship and his lack of care toward Madilyn.

Norton did feel remorseful about his actions at the start, but alas, that ball of guilt gradually disappeared as time

passed.

He couldn't lose the business empire he had so painstakingly built from scratch, nor could he lose his reputation

and social status. Relationships, on the other hand, weren't necessary to him.

“Quit putting on an act, Norton Sheffield. I won't agree to your terms. There's also no way I'll ever abide by your

arrangements. All I want is to take my mother away. Please bring her out now, or else...” Madilyn said coldly as she

stared daggers at Norton.

If looks could kill, she'd have slain the man on the spot.

/ can‘t believe shameless men like him exist! It's bad enough that he dumped Mom and me and ignored us for over

a decade, but it's even worse that he now wants to marry me off for his own benefit! Argh! It's an utter

embarrassment to be related to him!

“Or else what?” Mildred interrupted, no longer able to hold her anger in. “Let's get one thing clear, Madilyn... This is

Xandenia, not Horington.”

As much as Mildred hated to admit it, Madilyn's actions did scare her earlier.

However, she remembered how she used to bully the mother and daughter, so why should she fear them now?

So what if Madilyn's driving a Rolls-Royce? No matter how rich she gets, she can't change what she's inherently

born with! Wait a minute... Could the car be a rental? Someone might have given her the idea to put up this bluff!

Now that I think of it, this car looks familiar. Ah! Doesn 't it belong to Kaiser Hotel's general manager?

After checking the car's registration plate to confirm her suspicions, Mildred curled her lips into an arrogant smirk.

“Haha! Shame on you, Madilyn Xander! You rented this car from the hotel, didn't you? I'm impressed you even

hired a driver for it. How much is the daily rate? My, my... To think you'd go to such extremes to put up a front.”

Madilyn, on the other hand, was speechless.

Huh? I can't believe Mildred's focus is on the car. Then again, that's hardly surprising. After all, she's the kind who

always judges people by their appearances and material possessions. In other words, she's a snob.

Norton's gaze darkened as he turned to Madilyn. “What's the deal with this car? Is it really a rental?”

“Birds of a feather sure do flock together!” Madilyn exclaimed as she shook her head and chuckled. "Norton,

Mildred, does this mean you'll only think highly of me if this Rolls-Royce is mine? And if not, you'll see me as a

pushover?”

A sneer instantly crept across Mildred's face. “Of course! If you have the cheek to fake being rich, don't blame me

for calling you out!”

Just then, a slow clap rang out from the Rolls-Royce.

Clap! Clop! Clap!

The next second, Jonathan stepped out of the car with an amused grin plastered across his face.

“By the way, Mr. and Mrs. Sheffield, Madilyn didn't just rent the Rolls-Royce. She rented a boyfriend, too!”
