Female Novel
Chapter 516
Matilda made countless similar promises to Isabelle, but there was no progress between Isabelle andJohn at all. Matilda kept saying that she’d help Isabelle, but did she ever?
Isabelle pinched her glabella in frustration. “Mrs. Constance, is there no hope for you and Mr.Constance? Did you do it impulsively?”
“Impulsive? No, no. I have long noticed that something is not right with him. He started hooking up withthat woman years ago. My guess is that their relationship has persisted, so what do I need a man likehim for?” novelbin
Isabelle forced a smile. “Ah, is it?” It happened that her phone buzzed, so she picked it up, but theconversation from the other side was inaudible to Matilda. Isabelle agreed to something a few timesand ended the call, after which she looked at Matilda. “Mrs. Constance, I have something going on inthe company. I’m actually excusing myself specifically to meet with you, and I have to rush back now.”
Failing to sense the change in Isabelle’s attitude, Matilda replied, “Sure, go ahead. Work is moreimportant.”
Isabelle clutched her bag and stood up without even looking at Matilda. “Well, let’s talk again whenwe’re free then.”
Matilda watched as Isabelle walked out of the cafe, got into a cab, and left. Then, the smile on her facepromptly vanished.
She slowly turned around and covered her face, for she had no courage to check out that video of heron the internet. In that video, she looked horrible and totally different from her elegant and poised
manner from before.
Matilda sat there sighing and wallowing in regrets for a while before leaving the cafe altogether. Whenshe hailed a cab back to the Flintstone Residence, she specifically instructed the cab driver for a detourand passed by Sophia’s storefront.
Just now, when she was at the Constance Residence, Old Mrs. Constance mentioned Sophia’s nameand went on to accuse Matilda of picking on Sophia for a year, making her fall short of her role as amother-in-law.
Frustrated, Matilda admitted that she did not fulfill her role as a mother-in-law, but Sophia failed as adaughter-in-law as well. Whose daughter-in-law would physically fight her mother-in-law?
The cab reached Sophia’s storefront, where Matilda asked for the cab to stop. Sophia was still greetingcustomers in the store. Matilda could see her smiling at customers through the French window. Iwonder what the customer told her because she appears a little shy.
Still, Matilda looked down on Sophia. Look at that unsophisticated smile! How could Sophia even becompared to Isabelle?
Feeling angrier the more she watched, she dryly ordered the cab driver to continue the journey, “Wecan leave now. Looking at that country bumpkin just makes me gag.”
The cab driver promptly drove away without a word. In the store, Sophia had no clue that Matilda justdropped by. She waited for the customers to leave before hurriedly taking a seat and checking herphone.
Her current pastime was to watch the videos of Matilda online, which was an excellent way to de-stress. Losing the cool and the stature of Mrs. Constance, Matilda appeared no different from the loudwomen from the countryside. The internet has a long memory. If she was ever unhappy, she couldsearch up this video to entertain herself.
The female patient was, of course, included in the video as well. She lay on the bed in pain and wasattended to by a nurse.
Now that Sophia looked more closely at it, the woman appeared younger than Matilda, and due to herbare face, she looked less threatening than Matilda. Smacking her lips, Sophia thought that if Williamhad any taste at all, he would never choose Matilda between the two women.
She wondered how it was going on Matilda’s side. Before this, she had wanted to reign in Matilda withher knowledge of the divorce, but Matilda leaked the news out herself. Hah! What a joke!
Sophia replayed the video a few times before Robin came over to take a look. “You’ve been watchingthis for many times.”
