“Mom, I’ve never been in the dominant position in the matter of divorce, I believe that as long as
Chambers Family’s attitude toughens up, even if I get a divorce, I’ll end up getting out of Chambers
Family poorly.”
“You knew the outcome would be like that, why did you still insist on getting a divorce?”
Ophelia let out a bitter laugh.
“You know that once your divorce, not only will you not get a single penny of Chambers Family’s
property, you won’t even get the custody of Tommy.” Mrs. Chambers put down her harsh words.
Ophelia was anxious.
“Mom, I can don’t want anything, but I must have Tommy, he is so important to me that I can’t live without
him.”
“He is the grandson of Chambers Family and will be the rightful heir of Chambers Family in the future, if
you divorce, Tommy is bound to stay in Chambers Family.” Mrs. Chambers said in bad attitude.
The atmosphere instantly fell to zero.
Ophelia felt unease, and she subconsciously tried to change the subject, “Mom, let’s go back.”
“If you insist on getting a divorce, don’t blame mum for being cruel to you. Tommy is the grandson of our
family and cannot be given to you, and if you get a divorce, you won’t even have the chance to visit
Tommy in the future. You have to think carefully and value the cost of divorce.”
Ophelia looked at Mrs. Chambers in a complicated manner.
“Mom, do you have to force me to do that?”
“I don’t want you to get a divorce as a mother’s inner wish, so don’t be capricious. I will stand by your
side, but you shouldn’t have the thought of divorce. Our family indeed is one of the city’s most
prestigious families and our ancestors have never divorced before. The men of Chambers Family are the
most affectionate.” Mrs.
Chambers said earnestly.
In this family, the one who did not want Ophelia and Zachariah to divorce was Mrs. Chambers. She loved
Ophelia, but once the divorce was finalized, she could not let her grandchildren be raised by her.
Ophelia was also in pain. The pressure she had to endure during her divorce from Zachariah was
unimaginable to outsiders, and now she was threatened by Mrs. Chambers, which made her realize how
difficult it was to get custody of Tommy.
Ophelia held her head and choked up, “Mum, divorce is a matter for the two. If he insists on divorcing,
can you give me Tommy? If I leave Chambers Family, I have nothing left but Tommy, and I don’t want to
leave Chambers Family too wretchedly.”
Mrs. Chambers just looked at her.
Ophelia cried.
“Mom, if I could, I wouldn’t want to get a divorce. It’s just that I’ve been under enough pressure all these
years so that I don’t want to be someone else’s stand-in again.”
Mrs. Chambers grabbed Ophelia’s shoulders and forced her to look at her.
“Ophelia, no one can force you to leave Chambers Family as long as you stay in Chambers Family. You
are still the honorable Young Mister of Chambers Family, enjoying the glory and wealth that women
dream of, with such luxurious material, so what if you are a stand-in?”
Ophelia stared at her in a daze.
Mrs. Chambers took a deep breath and said somewhat fiercely, “Ophelia, I like you very much as a
daughter-in-law. I don’t want to be cruel to you, but if you insist on divorce, Tommy will definitely stay in
Chambers Family, and you will never be allowed to enter Chambers Family again.
Think it over.”
Ophelia took two steps backward in shock.
Her mouth moved, leaving a pale sentence, “Mom, I’m tired and want to go back to rest.” Then she fled
in haste.
Mrs. Chambers, who remained in the place, looked at Ophelia’s fading back and sighed heavily.
If it was possible, she hoped that she and Ophelia could have harmony relationship because what she
just said was to hope that Ophelia could back off from difficulties, put away her unwarranted thoughts
and be a Young Mister in Chambers Family.
Tommy is the grandson of the Chambers Family and is destined to stay in Chambers Family that he will
have to receive an orthodox education to take over the Chambers Group when he grows up as a
qualified heir.
On matters of principle, she would never compromise.
If Ophelia did not know how to compromise, she would not want such a disobedient daughter-in-law.
Ophelia hurriedly ran back to the bedroom. Zachariah, who was changing his clothes in the room, saw
her face pale and her eyes were a bit panicked, so he came up and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Are
you not feeling well?”
Ophelia hissed like a frightened little rabbit, “Stay back! Don’t twist my arm.” Because of her panic, her
voice sounded extraordinarily shrill and harsh.
Zachariah asked seriously, “Did mum say something bad?”
Ophelia felt aggrieved and said, “I just want to divorce you, why is everyone coming to accuse me? As if
my divorce from you is an unforgivable evil. It is clear that you are the one who did something wrong, you
are the one who can’t forget Cora. I just want Tommy. why are you guys not satisfied and have to be so
aggressive?”
The panic of losing her eyesight, the powerlessness of not being able to fight against Chambers Family,
and the fear that she might lose the custody of Tommy were all piling up in Ophelia’s heart, causing her
to almost lose her temper.
Zachariah pursed his lips with a silent cold face. lightnoveldaily.com
