Beyond the Divorce novel Chapter 576

I was at a loss as I looked at Kimberly, mainly because I had never dealt with someone like her. I initially thought Trinity would match Kimberly’s description. However, I realized Trinity was much more sophisticated than what I had imagined after the real showdown.

The woman before me was an actual troublemaker. She noticed me lost in my thoughts and tapped her spoon on my plate, saying, “I’m talking about you! Stop looking so indifferent!”

“Kim!” Martin reprimanded her.

Kimberly rolled her eyes and pursed her lips before continuing to eat.

Jake intervened, “The dishes are finally here, Ms. Chloe. Please, have some.”

Martin put aside his act and said, “Ms. Chloe, let’s talk while we eat.”

I glanced at Kimberly, and no longer had an appetite. It felt like I would be eating someone else’s leftovers. I calmly said, “I’m sorry, everyone, but I don’t have much of an appetite. Please proceed with eating.”

My words offended Kimberly. She stared at me and asked, “What do you mean by that? Is it because you think we’re not qualified to eat with you? How dare you say you don’t have an appetite?”

I chuckled while observing her expression. Although pretty, she unfortunately looked insolent.

Kimberly could no longer stand me. “What are you laughing at?”

I smiled and said, “Ms. Kimberly, your brother invited me here. Speaking that way isn’t how you treat guests. You can be playful and willful at home but not outside. As someone older than you, I sincerely advise you to mind your manners.”

She seemed stunned, perhaps because no one had ever dared to reprimand her in front of her family.

However, Jake was quick to react, saying, “Kim, I hope you’ve learned your lesson. Ms. Chloe is a prominent figure in Foswood, so you should learn from her.”

“I’ve never seen you back down like this before. This woman can’t change our family’s principles, no matter how beautiful she is. Who does she think she is?”

Kimberly’s arrogance amazed me.

Meanwhile, Martin looked at me with a pleased expression. It seemed he liked what he had heard. He warned his sister, “That’s enough nonsense, Kim. Eat your food, and stop interfering with our business. Otherwise, I’ll tell Chad to send you home.”

I almost burst into laughter at her nonsensical talk.

“When did our family start yielding to women? Who gave her the right to talk?” Kimberly’s voice was sharp and irritating. She resembled a clucking chicken.

Suddenly, someone opened the door and said, “I did!”
