"Stop thinking about him, Chelsea. Vincent is Chloe's husband, they're not even divorced."

Chelsea's smirk disappeared instantly when Judith reminded her of one vital fact about Chloe and Vincent.

She was right.

Vincent and Chloe weren't together, but they were still technically married. Vincent told them once that he refused to divorce Chloe because he loved her way too much and was willing to accept her back if Chloe returned home.

Meanwhile, Chloe herself didn't seem to care enough to divorce Vincent. She simply ran away, as if she was taunting her real husband so that she could fuck with all the other men she wanted, and Vincent would still love her.

Judith sighed when she saw Chelsea's smirk falter. Chelsea seemed to have woken up temporarily from her stupid delusion of marrying Vincent, "Please stop all this, Chelsea. Though she betrayed her husband, Chloe is still your sister. We should just focus on bringing her back to her rightful husband."

"I don't have a whore sister," Chelsea sneered. "Besides, why do I have to bring her back to Vincent when I can bring myself to him. Do you think I'm lacking something compared to Chloe?"
"That's not what I mean—"

"I am obviously smarter, more independent, prettier, and much more understanding than Chloe could ever be. Vincent will eventually realize how stupid he is to be so dedicated to a whore like Chloe!" Chelsea claimed. Unfortunately, that brief snap to reality wasn't enough to bring her back from her delusion. She still believed that she genuinely had a chance to be Mrs. Gray.

"You haven't even divorced Tommy yet," Judith said. "You and Vincent are in a similar situation, and look at him struggling to put his life together without Chloe by his side. Do you think that he won't move on as soon as possible if he doesn't love Chloe?"

"That's easy. Once Vincent proposed to me, I'm sure that he will help me to find Tommy and let me divorce his ass!" Chelsea claimed. "Besides, why do you keep thinking about putting Chloe and Vincent together. Obviously, Chloe is not trying to get back together with Vincent. You should focus on me and my happiness instead. I've suffered long enough when I was married to Tommy. So, it's time to move on, mother."

Chelsea said the last line sarcastically since her old mother kept defending Chloe for no reason.

"Besides, I am the one who's taking care of you. You should always be on my side instead of her."

"This is not about picking a side, Chelsea," Judith sighed. "Both of you are my daughters, and I just want the best for both of you."

"And the best for me is to stay with Tommy? Oh don't fuck with me, you old bitch," Chelsea started getting heated as she felt that Judith obviously picking Chloe's side in this situation. "You should be grateful that I allow you to be in this house. You should know how much I want to kick you out for being useless."


Judith gasped.

She never expected her daughter to have that kind of malicious idea of kicking her out. So she got up from her wicker chair and walked towards Chelsea until they faced each other.

Judith looked at her daughter and said, "You have no right to kick me out of my house. This apartment is given by Vincent because Chloe asked for it. I still allow you to live here because your husband has no real job, and you can't afford to rent another apartment with your salary when you have four kids to take care of."

"Oh yeah? Well, Chloe is gone now, and I am your only ticket to stay in this apartment," Chelsea claimed arrogantly. "You know I can always kick you out once I get married to Vincent. He will obey all of my commands, so if you want to have a place to live, kneel down and kiss my feet, you old bitch."

PA!

"AH!" Chelsea was shocked when her mother suddenly slapped her right on the face. She staggered and fell to the floor. She covered her hot cheek and glared up at her mother. "You bitch! How dare you slap me!"

Judith looked down at her daughter and replied with a cold voice unbefitting her small stature, "You deserve it. Get over that stupid idea of marrying Vincent! He is obviously in love with Chloe because she's beautiful. You're not as beautiful as her, Chelsea, just admit it!"

Chelsea gritted her teeth. She got up and then stated, "Just wait and see, you old bitch. You will regret ever slapping me. I was thinking about throwing you to the nursing home out of kindness. But you deserve to fucking die as a homeless!"

Chelsea turned around and walked away from her mother. Judith should be glad that Chelsea had self-control, or else she would slap that old woman until her head fell off!

Judith saw her daughter enter her room and slam the door. She sighed pitifully.

She returned to her wicker chair, sitting idly while staring at the mindless TV program, "I don't know what's wrong with my family. I thought things were looking up when Chloe got married with Vincent and I don't have to worry about money anymore. Then she just ran away after ten years of good life, and now things are turning upside-down."

Judith glanced at Chelsea's room and felt humiliation crawling inside her heart. She knew that Vincent gave her a lot of money after Chloe left, but she never shared enough of them with her old mother and also her children.

She remembered having to shamelessly extort money from Madam Dorothea Gray because she faced a difficult situation. Two of the boys were sick and had to be hospitalized because they were very young, but they had no money, and Chelsea refused to give her money to go to the hospital.

So when Madam Gray called her and asked for Chloe's contact, Judith found the chance to get the money she needed to go to the hospital.
