Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Rejected Ex-wife: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Mrs Beatrice had followed the entire fiasco from afar. When she saw JL Architectures trending, the multiple allegations meted against June, and the sudden turn of events, she decided to conduct her own investigations. She felt concerned with the amount of hatred and bad blood between her daughter-in-law and her family, and she hoped that a visit would mend broken bonds and form new family bonds too. It was about time she got to know her in-laws too! If she left it up to her son, she would grow grey hairs and be six feet under before she got the pleasure of meeting them. Hence, she took matters into her own hands. Mrs Beatrice had informed April and her mother of her desire to visit, and they made proper preparations to welcome the honoured guest. In the Rivera family house, April spoke to her mother. “Mrs Beatrice Ambrose is akin to the Queen Mother of South City. If she wants to see us, I believe it has something to do with that daughter of yours!” She fumed. “No matter what ha

“You’ve got to be joking,” Evelyn said with a small smile but was met with bone-serious looks from her daughter and her strange man. When she saw that this was not a joke, she lost it. “Are you crazy? Have you gone mad?! Do not for one moment think you can intimidate me into giving away my company because you will be in for a rude awakening.”“Read my lips. I am not Ethan. Neither am I any of his godforsaken parents, if you try to mess with me, I will bring you down without a moment's thought.”April and Colton shared gazes and burst into a round of mocking laughter together. “You didn’t tell me she was this feisty, darling,” Colton said and kissed the space between her neck and body. “Oh pay her no mind. She is all bark and no bite.” April said, closing her eyes as she leaned into the kiss. “I have her on leech.” Evelyn's eyes reddened and she shook with anger. “Just try me. I beg you. Test me this time and see if I don’t bite you. I am done playing your silly games, child.”She s

“Sir! The young miss has been involved in an accident at the site!”Rafael was in his office when his assistant told him the distressing news. His face froze, and he abandoned everything he had at hand. “Cancel the meetings and ready the car. We leave immediately!” Rafael hit the road to a private hospital where his wife was held. He couldn’t understand why she wasn’t taken to the South City Hospital where Carson could take proper care of his wife but when he found that his mother was around at the time of the accident, he let himself relax a bit. Meanwhile, June had undergone all sorts of tests which she deemed useless as not a single hair on her head needed to be put in the right place. She felt like it was all a waste of time seeing she was not hurt but to avoid upsetting her dear mother-in-law, she submitted herself to the process.Mrs Beatrice sat in the doctor’s office while June sat on her hospital bed, waiting for her mother-in-law’s verdict. “What did you find? Does she ha

“Sister! Why are you so bent on slandering me? Why are you so-” April fell to the floor, tears streaming down her eyes. “The past few days have been hell for me since father’s untimely death, and mother’s insanity.”“I tried calling you for the longest time but you refused to pick my calls.” She wept, “Now you show up here and try to pin this on me? Why do you hate me so much, sister? What did I ever do?” The visitors were moved by compassion for April and scorn for her sister. “That woman is such a wicked person!” One said in anger.“She doesn’t care for her mother! She is just here to cause a scene!” Another said, “Why are they letting crap like her come into this house? Mrs Evelyn had already told us about this daughter of hers before she lost her mind. She should not be allowed to come into this house!”“Such a shameless woman! Bullying her younger sister for trying to carry the family name while she whores about! Despicable!”Soon enough, the entire house turned against June w

Rafael left the sitting room when Mrs Evelyn’s tears grew heavy. June’s heart broke at the sight of her mother looking so distraught and grieved. “Mother...” Her eyes glassed with unshed tears. “I don’t deserve your kindness,” Evelyn said and stood on your feet. “It's preposterous of me to accept anything from you after all I did to you.” “Mother..”“No.” Evelyn shook her head and wiped her tears. “What I did is unforgivable. I maltreated and let you suffer because I couldn’t deal with my grief.”Tears pooled June’s eyes as she listened to her mother. “All these years, I blamed you. I blamed you for getting lost as a child in that hospital. I blamed you for putting our family through tough times, I blamed you for my husband’s death. Anytime something evil came to me, I found a way to blame you for it.” “I hated the fact I lost you and couldn’t bear the guilt of losing you as a child in that hospital, so I decided to bring in someone who could replace you. I brought in the devil a
