Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)

Chapter 152 Humiliate me? I'll fight back!

Late at night.

Madelyn returned to the apartment with Vivian.

After a long night, although they were exhausted, they couldn't sleep.

Madelyn poured a cup of hot cocoa for Vivian.

She wanted to console her but didn't know how to start...

Vivian sat on the couch, holding the hot cocoa absentmindedly. After a while, she looked up and asked softly, "Madelyn, do you think I'm cheap?"

Madelyn shook her head. "Never!"

She knew all too well the grievances Vivian had endured from beginning to end.

Vivian lowered her gaze.

Tears fell into the cup, drop by drop...

She had truly loved Jackson.

Even though he was a scumbag, she had genuinely loved him.

Trembling, Vivian said with a shaky voice, "I want to smoke! Madelyn... I want a cigarette."

Madelyn took out a pack of cigarettes from Vivian's handbag. Vivian took one and held it with trembling hands, then lit it and took a deep breath before she mustered the courage to continue. "Elizabeth had an amniocentesis. It's a boy in her womb. Jackson's parents took her into their house, serving her several meals a day and even having the servants call her 'Madam."" Vivian looked at Madelyn. "Madelyn, I want a divorce."

Madelyn agreed.

However, Madelyn was afraid that Jackson wouldn't let go just like that when she saw him.

Vivian laughed at herself.

"Do you think Jackson has ever cared for me?"

"No, he's afraid that something might happen to Elizabeth's pregnancy."

"If he divorce me for the sake of that belly but Elizabeth fails to deliver, then Jackson will become a laughingstock."

...

Madelyn was stunned.

Vivian finished smoking a cigarette and spoke softly, "Madelyn, I'm afraid my affair with Grayson will affect you! Grayson told me that you get along well with Bryson... but Bryson's mother is not easy to deal with."

Madelyn patted her hand.

"Vivian, let's not talk about that."

But deep down, Madelyn had a vague feeling.

Bryson stood her up tonight, and it seemed to be related to Grayson and Vivian's situation. However, even so, she wouldn't blame Vivian in the slightest. When she was going through the most difficult time, Vivian did everything she could to help her.

That night, the two girls slept on the same bed.

They both had concerns and couldn't sleep well.

Early in the morning, Jackson arrived. He stood outside the door, his eyes bloodshot.

"Vivian is here, right?"

Madelyn responded with a soft "Hmm" and let him in through the side door.

She calmly poured a glass of water for Jackson and placed it on the coffee table. "I'll call Vivian out. You two should talk it out."

Madelyn looked at them peacefully.

Jackson was quite surprised and hesitated before asking, "How is she?"

Madelyn smiled faintly, "Your parents have taken Elizabeth into their house, and you're asking about Vivian? Jackson... How many people envied your marriage back then? Now, there are just as many people disappointed."

Jackson touched his nose, feeling uncomfortable. He said, "I was just fooling around. Vivian was also with Grayson..."

Madelyn didn't say anything more.

She went into the room and called Vivian, "You two talk. See what he wants."

After a moment, Vivian came out.

When the husband and wife saw each other, it was different from before.

Perhaps the previous night's argument had drained their energy, and today, they had no more strength for aggression. Vivian sat across from Jackson, a bit absent-minded, and said, "Let's get a divorce."

Jackson stared at her.

After a while, he said, "My parents took Elizabeth in without my consent! I didn't mean it, Vivian... You'll always be my wife! As long as you break things off with Grayson, we can still be like before." Vivian looked out of the window absentmindedly.

Her voice was distant, "Did your parents also make that child come to the world?"

Jackson fell silent.

Vivian did mean a lot to him, but having a son to carry on the family name was also important.

Elizabeth was currently carrying the child of their lineage, being treated like a queen by his parents. No one could shake her position.

Seeing his expression, Vivian suddenly laughed.

She said, "Jackson, how blind was I to be with you? Look at you, coward. Let me be honest with you, ever since I got involved with Grayson, I no longer care about being your pathetic rightful wife. Give that title to whomever you want."

Jackson didn't want to insist.

She had already been with Grayson, and his parents had scolded him to no end. It was pointless to plead with her.

"If you want a divorce... Fine!

"But you're at fault, so you'll get nothing!

"Also, let's finalize the procedures in six months. By then, when Elizabeth gives birth to the child, I can seamlessly register my son."

Vivian chuckled in anger. She was the one at fault?

But she had no energy left to argue with him. She just wanted to end this marriage.

She nodded easily, which made Jackson a bit uncomfortable.

"Um... You can stay in the house."

"No need, I'm moving out today!"

Vivian unexpectedly showed determination.

Jackson put a cigarette to his lips and forgot to light it for a long time...

Suddenly, he felt a little sad.

He truly loved Vivian.

When Madelyn and the others were still growing up, Vivian had already blossomed like a white rose, exuding charm... He had pursued her for a long time before winning her over.

Elizabeth was different.

From beginning to end, Elizabeth was a woman at his control. For the sake of Elizabeth, he had fought with Vivian to the point of divorce... Jackson suddenly couldn't bear to look at Vivian.

He couldn't bear to see himself and Vivian reach this point, couldn't bear Vivian's hatred for him, and her turning to Grayson's embrace...

It took Madelyn two days to help Vivian find a new house and move out.

Madelyn wanted Vivian to stay with her, but Vivian said they were both adults with their own lives.

Madelyn thought that perhaps Grayson would go to Vivian's place to spend the night.

Vivian noticed her thoughts.

She teased, "Women also have physical needs, and Grayson is great in bed. He makes me much happier than Jackson ever did!" Madelyn blushed upon hearing that.

Vivian deliberately asked, "What about you and Bryson... Have you...?"

"No!"

Madelyn and Bryson hadn't even kissed. She didn't know where the problem lay between them, but their relationship was pure and platonic. Thinking of Bryson, Madelyn realized he hadn't contacted her in the past couple of days.

She had a vague idea!

Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. It was an unknown number.

Madelyn went outside to answer the call, and on the other end was a dignified older woman.

"Ms. Green, I'm Bryson's mother. I'd like to meet with you."

Half an hour later.

Madelyn entered a high-end café and immediately spotted an elegant woman sitting near the window.

Her facial features... bore some resemblance to Bryson's.

Madelyn walked over and sat down, giving a faint smile. "Are you Bryson's mother?"

Felicity took off her sunglasses.

She sternly scrutinized Madelyn from head to toe. Madelyn had experienced a lot and could maintain her composure.

After a while, Felicity spoke with a touch of arrogance.

"Ms. Green, you're even more beautiful than I imagined! No wonder Bryson fell for you at first sight and kept mentioning that I should meet you! Originally... You're my old classmate's stepdaughter, and I thought I knew your past. But these past few days, I learned that Ms. Green leads quite an exciting private life."

Madelyn remained composed. "Please go on."

Felicity raised her chin proudly.

"Bryson's cousin Grayson is involved with some unsavory woman, and I heard she hasn't even finalized her divorce. How could someone from the prestigious Wyatt family marry such a woman? And I heard that Ms. Green, who was not only classmates but also close friends with Miss Vivian, had a previous relationship with someone from the Clark family, didn't you?

"Ms. Green, I'm deeply concerned that Bryson might follow in Grayson's footsteps."

"So, Ms. Green, if you want to be with Bryson, the first thing you need to do is cut ties with that Miss Vivian. Also... Ms. Green should keep your distance from the Clark family's young son. After all, gossip can be dreadful! It would be best if you went abroad for a while, until people forget about your past. Then I will consider your marriage to Bryson."

After she finished speaking, she elegantly took a sip of her coffee.

She thought, "smart girls know how to make choices!"

But Madelyn just chuckled.

"Thank you for your concern! But I can't do that!

"Not only will I not cut ties with Vivian, but I also intend to be with her for the rest of my life... As for my relationship with Benjamin, I don't think there's anything shameful about it! Mrs. Wyatt, if you're interested,

feel free to investigate. I had a four-year relationship before... And he happened to be a son-in-law of the Clark family! How about that... Intriguing enough? Scandalous enough?"

Bryson's mother's face turned pale.

She pointed at Madelyn, trembling with anger...

Never before had anyone dared to defy her like this!
