Chapter 3
"Yes, it's ugly, but not ugly enough to crush and ruin other people's marriages."
Tracy's fluttering words surprised Amanda for many seconds before she responded. She grew white with rage and lifted her hand to smack Tracy.
Tracy, on the other hand, caught her wrist and slapped her hard: "I didn't bother with you before because it's your skill that you can conceive the child, but that doesn't mean you can take the pregnancy and show off your strength in front of me three or four times." "Your arrogance is out of control!"
Because of Tracy's smack, the attention of everyone around them is drawn to them.
Amanda's face suddenly became white and crimson, and she tried to draw her hand back, but she couldn't withstand Tracy's power. "How dare you!" she screamed. It's not my fault that you're a bad wife!"
"Don't you think there's something wrong with the logic of your words?" "Whether you like it or not, I'm still Sean Pattinson's legally justified wife." And, since we're on the subject, I'd want to thank you. The kid in your womb is proof of his marital adultery. "Did you know I have the right to sue you?" Tracy said confidently.
Amanda's eyes widened in surprise: "You dare..."
"Try me."
It was July, but the masculine voice behind her sounded like it had been drenched by an icy river in the dead of winter, and the cold he carried made people's backs arch.
Tracy felt somewhat uncomfortable, and her grip on Amanda gradually relaxed.
"Sean..." Ananda rushed to Sean's side, cradling his battered face with her palm as tears streamed down her cheeks, making her miserable.
Sean's eyes was drawn to her, and he then glanced up at Tracy. His eyes were icy, and the words he spewed forth without any control. "Do you need me to introduce you to a lawyer?"
Tracy remarked, pulling the corner of her lips together. "No need." What a joke, she doesn't have the funds to employ a lawyer to defend herself against this kind of action. She also doesn't want to bother herself. She only wants to frighten Amanda.
Sean took a step nearer her, bent his head slightly, and muttered quietly, "It turns out that the clean and silent separation you're talking about is this..."
Tracy glanced up and saw Sean's dull eyes had a hidden smirk. She recognized his spirit right away. "No... I-"
"So money isn't enough to satisfy you?" Is it possible that your true objective is the whole Pattinson clan?" Without waiting for Tracy to respond, he continued: "... Otherwise, you have gone to tremendous lengths to stage this divorce farce... Is that all?" Sean makes a chilly comment. "Tracy Michaelson, are you exaggerating your abilities?" You will lose everything if I sign."
"There's no point in telling me that," Tracy said cynically, smiling. "I won't bother Mr. Pattinson, so please sign the paper and we'll meet to finalize the divorce..."
Sean's tone was sour. "What are your plans after I sign?" "Sue me with the divorce papers as evidence?" he grumbles.
Tracy's grin never left her face. "Sean, you think way too much, don't you?" Can't we get on one other's nerves? If you are really concerned, I can write you a document guaranteeing that after the divorce, I would not extort any money from you for any reason or under any name... I am happy to sign any deal in your presence in front of your attorney..."
Sean had not expected her to say that, and she was eager to get rid of him. His brow twitched without a trace, softly pinching his tiny lips.
Amanda realized they had been conversing for far too long and hurriedly stepped ahead. "Sean... Let's go, I'm a little uncomfortable."
Tracy returned her gaze to Amanda and gently reminded her. "If I were you, Miss Amanda, I would avoid wearing high heels, especially in the near future, as well as bright makeup and strong perfume." Wearing these exposing outfits would make you seem cheap. Remember to look for yourself and the baby in your womb..."
"..." Sean was at a loss for words. Tracy's reply perplexes him.
Tracy averted her sight and took a step away after saying that.
Amanda's pals, who had been watching the performance the whole time, rushed up to pat her behind as soon as Tracy departed. "Amanda, Sean can really defend you in front of that woman..."
"Sean Pattinson is so attractive... Amanda, I genuinely envy you. "I wish I could find a boyfriend like him..."
"But Tracy is a jerk... Amanda is already expecting a child, yet she refuses to divorce Sean..."
This is the term Amanda's pal murmurs in private.
Meanwhile, Sean dragged his sight away, scanned several persons in front of him, and cracked his lips: "Did you lose your mind?" Sean would never harm his marriage, no matter how much he despised Tracy. Several others, including Amanda, were taken aback since they didn't know which statement had upset him.
Sean said, "Give me an explanation for the pregnancy." His sentence was directed at Amanda.
Amanda stutters after anxiously grabbing her skirt with both hands. "I... I heard Mr. Pattinson has always hated that woman, and I just... I made an excuse for her to leave you..."
Sean cut her off, and his expression became nasty. "Don't think I don't know what game you're playing." Tracy is enough for me... one force married for this lifetime is enough. You know what will happen the next time I hear such a thing."
Amanda pursed her lips slightly. She is afraid to explain.
When Sean left, his pals sighed a sigh of relief and said, "Amanda, isn't Sean your boyfriend?" "What made him talk to you like that?"
Amanda's face looked depressed and pallid. Sean Pattinson brought her to a number of banquets at this time, and he didn't stop the rumors of their connection in the outside world, so Amanda naturally assumed she was the lady next to him.
As a result, she devises a plan to allow Tracy to make room for her while simultaneously falsifying the pregnancy test outcome. But take a look at Sean Pattinson's warning...
That night, Amanda explores Sean and Tracy's connection...
Tracy was sold to prostitution because her father owed a loan shark, and when she escaped, she found Sean and asked him to rescue her.
Tracy unexpectedly showed up at the door two months later with a pregnancy test result. The Pattinson family is renowned and prominent, places a high value on face, and does not want to make a huge deal about this situation and ruin Tracy's image, so Sean Pattinson and Tracy Michaelson marry.
However, the kid disappeared less than two months after the marriage. Tracy has been playing this game from beginning to finish. In order to marry into the Pattinson family, they dr***ed her in the twilight, met Sean, and forced marriage with a bogus pregnancy.
