Divorce Her, and They All Came Running의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

Victoria remained silent.She truly had no way to defend Callum, because deep down, she also believed he was nothing more than a househusband who stayed home cooking meals every day.At that moment, Kenneth suddenly spoke up."Our family actually has a chance to form an alliance with the Skylar family. Connor once promised to arrange a blind date between his granddaughter and Andrew. They just haven't gotten around to it yet."A gleam flashed through William Hayes's eyes."The Skylar family? Noriava City's wealthiest family?" His tone immediately turned eager. "If that's the case, then if the three of our families become connected, it would bring nothing but advantages for our future development."The thought of marrying the Skylar family's eldest daughter made Andrew practically swell with pride."William, that Skylar heiress is definitely going to be mine."He had already started treating the Skylar family's heiress as his future wife. Even though she had never met him, he ha

Callum's chest heaved violently with anger."They don't understand?" he said through gritted teeth. "If you had ever said a single good thing about me in front of your parents, would their impression of me be this bad? Victoria, you've completely disappointed me. Don't call me your husband anymore."You've already checked out of this marriage emotionally, but you still want to keep one foot in each boat? I told you before—if he's in the picture, I'm not. If I'm in the picture, he's not. There's no both."The unfamiliar hostility in Callum's eyes made Victoria feel like she couldn't breathe."Callum, please calm down, okay?" she said anxiously. "I really didn't cheat on you. Julian and I are truly innocent. Just let me explain—I can clear all of this up."Callum laughed coldly."You've already met each other's parents. What's left to explain?" His gaze was filled with scorn. "You're probably already talking about wedding plans, aren't you? Just sign the papers. At least we can end

Rosalie looked down on men like Callum the most—men with no status, no background. Every time Callum's name came up, her tone carried undisguised contempt."He's just an orphan. You're not even on the same level. I really don't understand what you ever saw in him, Victoria."Kenneth looked at his daughter with deep frustration, as though she were beyond saving."I warned you from the start, Victoria. Men like him always have ulterior motives. He should've just stayed home and been a good househusband. But now, he's gotten bold enough to throw a tantrum at you!"Victoria didn't dare to argue a single word.William let out a cold snort."Victoria, I'm only letting this slide because he's your husband. If it were anyone else, he'd already be on his knees begging for forgiveness. An orphan like him—no respect at all. Who even knows what kind of people raised someone like that."Victoria lowered her head. "Thank you for not holding it against my husband."At that moment, Julian's mo

Callum nodded."Something like that."Brian immediately perked up with curiosity."Weren't you dating that campus belle Victoria back then? Her family's loaded, and you went home to be a stay-at-home husband, right? So why are you suddenly out looking for a job again? Don't tell me… you got divorced and had no choice but to come back to work?"Before Callum could even respond, Brian pressed on in that condescending "I've been around" tone."I'm not trying to lecture you, Callum, but a guy's gotta have his own career. Leaning on a woman—being a kept man—you'll get tossed aside sooner or later."Look at me. I'm now a manager in the core data security department. My base salary alone is fifty grand a month. And see this? The chairman personally assigned me to deliver documents and coordinate with the new director of Nova Technology's core data security department. That's what years of hard work get you."Callum was speechless.Brian didn't even give him a chance to speak."Beside

Mia continued, "You expect your granddaughter to be with someone like that? Would you even feel comfortable with it?"Connor immediately defended himself."They may have played around a bit in the past, but they all undergo regular medical checkups. More importantly, they're all from prestigious families. If you marry one of them, you won't suffer."Mia shook her head in disgust."No. I have what you could call emotional purity. I'm not saying my partner has to be completely inexperienced, but at the very least, he shouldn't be messing around like that."I'm not so desperate that I need to settle for that. I'd rather just spend money and marry some handsome younger guy."Connor tapped his cane on the floor."Of course you can. As long as you get married, you can do whatever you want."His expectations weren't high at all. He just wanted his granddaughter to be married off.In their generation, people got married before twenty and had children soon after.As for money—did thei
