Chapter 3: In Order to Marry into the Proctor Family
"Is that so? No matter how ugly I'm, I'm better than a creep who is destroying someone else's marriage.’’ Sharon's words stunned Sheila, who didn't get the point for a few seconds.
When Sheila's face turned pale with anger, Sheila raised her hand to slap Sharon. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Sharon grabbed her wrist and gave her a crisp slap without any hesitation.
"I didn't come after you because you're carrying his child, but that doesn't mean you can show off your pregnancy in front of me time and time again.What? Are you proud of sneaking your way into my marriage?"
The slap attracted many people's attention.
She blushed and wanted to break Sharon's grip but was frustrated by Sharon's strength.
She shouted, "Don't act like I'm the problem here.I'm not his mistress, but you are the one that has the skin thick enough to stay in the marriage when he literally finds you disgusting.’
"You really don't think it sus what you just said? I don't care if it's shameless; legally, I am still Jameson's wife.And speaking of which, I really should thank you.The child in your stomach is the most cutthroat evidence of this affair, and don't you doubt it for a second that I will sue you both.I promise you that he will lose everything.Is this what you want?"
Sheila's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How dare you..."
"Try me."
In the sweltering summer heat, a male voice from behind seemed to bring a chill to Sharon.
It was so cold that her hair stood on end.
In a daze, she slowly let go of Sheila's hand.
Sheila immediately ran to Jameson, her hand covering the face where she was hit.
With tears rolling down her cheeks, she cried her heart out.
Jameson looked at her and up at Sharon.
His gaze was cold, and he said indifferently, "Do you want me to find you a lawyer?"
Sharon pursed her lips and said, "No need."
It was but a joke! She couldn't even afford a lawyer to take on a job as dragged and draining.
She was trying to scare Sheila.
Jameson took a step towards her and tilted his head slightly.
In a voice that only they could hear, he said, "So that's what the divorce agreement refers to."
The moment Sharon raised her head and felt the undisguised scorn in his black eyes, she got him and wanted to explain, "No, I..."
"Money alone can't satisfy you.What you want is the entire Proctor Group, right?"
Before Sharon could reply, he continued, "Otherwise, why did you put so much effort into this divorce act?"
Sharon did it to fulfill their wish of being a shameless couple.
"Sharon, aren't you overestimating yourself? If I did sign it, your losses would outweigh your gain, right?"
Sharon thought to herself, ‘Please! Be a decisive man.
Hurry up and free me from the marriage.
Don't be a man of words: Sharon looked into his eyes and smiled, "Then Mr.Proctor, please sign it as soon as possible.I'll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Jameson said in a cold voice, "When I sign it, what are you going to do? Do you want to use the divorce agreement as evidence to sue me?"
Sharon maintained her smile.
"Mr.Proctor, you're thinking too much.Can we just get it done? If you're really worried, I can write you a guarantee that after the divorce, I won't extort a penny from you for any purpose or in any name.Then, there will be my fingerprint on the guarantee, and it will be valid, okay?"
Jameson probably didn't expect her to be so absolute.
She sounded eager to get rid of him.
He moved his eyebrows and pursed his thin lips.
Seeing that they were still talking, Sheila couldn't wait, walked to them, and said, "Mr.Proctor...let's go.I don't feel well."
Sharon looked at Sheila again and kindly reminded her, "Miss Strauss, you'd better not wear such high heels, heavy makeup, and strong perfume.Dressing up like this only pleases those disgusting men.It's you and your baby who suffer.’ Jameson said,
"..."
Was she insinuating him? With that, Sharon looked away indifferently and left before them.
As soon as Sharon walked away, Sheila's friends who had watched the scene all along came near and flattered her, "Sheila, Mr.Proctor was defending you.That woman's expression was a spectacle."
"That's right.Mr.Proctor is so handsome that I really envy you.You have a boyfriend who stands up for you like this."
"Sheila, I think you're right about that woman.She is so shameless.Despite that you're pregnant, she doesn't want to get divorced..."
Jameson slowly withdrew his gaze and glanced at her friends in front of him.
He said, "Are you guys crazy?"
No matter how much he hated Sharon, he wouldn't cheat on her.
They and Sheila were all shocked.
They didn't know what they had said offended him.
Jameson added, "Give me an explanation for your pregnancy."
This was for Sheila.
Sheila grabbed her skirt nervously and stammered, "I ...I heard that you have always hated that woman, so I...found an excuse to get her to divorce you..."
With a cold expression, he interrupted her, "Don't think that I don't know what you're planning.Sharon made me marry her for the same reason.I don't want another woman to do this again.Next time I hear such rumors, you know the consequence."
Sheila bit her lips tightly and didn't make a sound.
After Jameson left, her friends around her let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Sheila, isn't Mr.Proctor your boyfriend? Why was he so rude to you?"
Sheila's face was deathly pale.
Recently, Jameson had brought her to many banquets.
He didn't stop any rumors about their relationship circulating.
She naturally thought that she was his woman.
That was why she came to Sharon, asked her to divorce him, and even forged the pregnancy test report.
However, from what Jameson just said...
That night, Sheila finally managed to find out something about their marriage.
Back then, Sharon's father faced usurious debts, and the creditors sold her to Twilight Club.
After she escaped, she met Jameson and begged him to save her.
Unexpectedly, two months later, Sharon came to Jameson with her pregnancy test report.
The Proctor Family was prominent and valued their reputation very much.
They wanted to keep it quiet and prevent damage to their reputation.
In addition, she was pregnant, so Jameson and Sharon got married.
Less than two months after the marriage, she had a miscarriage.
From beginning to end, this was an act orchestrated by Sharon.
She was drugged in the club, met Jameson, and forced him to marry her with a fake pregnancy to marry into the Proctor Family.
