Claire rcer’s patience was wearing thin. She glared at Gavin Sinclair, her face contorted with rage.
"Gavin Sinclair, are you insane? You clearly don’t love , so why won’t you get a divorce?"
"And besides, your precious first love is waiting in the wings. Are you really content to let her be a lowly mistress?"
"I’m not divorcing you, period. So you can forget about it." Having said his piece, Gavin Sinclair uncharacteristically turned to head upstairs.
’Scarlett’s status could only ever be his secret lover. Even if he divorced Claire rcer, the elders in his family would never allow her through the door. He’d known this for two years. He wouldn’t go against his family’s elders for a woman. If he pissed them off, he might lose his inheritance from the Sinclair Family. Compared to the power to control the entire Sinclair Family, Scarlett Jewel was nothing. Rather than marrying so stranger he didn’t know later on, it was better to just make do with Claire rcer.’
Claire rcer, however, was completely baffled. ’His first love is back, so what the hell has suddenly gotten into this bastard, Gavin Sinclair?’
Watching him turn and head straight for the stairs, she quickly called out to stop him.
"What are you doing going upstairs?"
"What do you think?" Gavin Sinclair stopped and looked back at her.
"Speaking of which, we’ve been married for two years, and you still haven’t fully fulfilled your wifely duties..."
As soon as he said that, Claire rcer’s heart sank.
"What do you an by that?"
’He couldn’t be thinking of... doing that with , could he?’
Sure enough, Gavin Sinclair said,
"We’ve been married for two years and haven’t consummated it. It’s ti."
"I know you’ve always loved deeply. It was wrong of to make you sleep alone for two years."
"Today, I’ll make you my true Mrs. Sinclair."
"I’ll go upstairs to wash up first. You should co up soon. Don’t make wait too long."
Claire rcer was so furious with Gavin Sinclair that she actually laughed.
’This guy really thinks he’s an emperor. Not only does he think it’s his right to keep a mistress, but now he’s even treating intimacy as so kind of charity he’s bestowing upon . Did he think I was looking forward to doing sothing so intimate with him? If I were my old self, I probably wouldn’t have resisted. After all, we’re a legally married couple, and there was a ti I sincerely wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. But now I’ve seen his ugly true colors, and my forr adoration for him has turned to disgust. The re thought of having to be intimate with him makes sick to my stomach.’
’There was no way she would have sex with him. Absolutely not.’
But judging by Gavin Sinclair’s attitude, he definitely wasn’t leaving tonight.
She considered just getting a hotel for the night, but this was her house. Why should she be the one to leave?
Besides, she could hide for a day, but could she hide forever?
Instead of being so passive, it was better to find a way to divorce Gavin Sinclair quickly and put an end to this problem for good.
Since she couldn’t get rid of him herself right now, she’d let soone else give her a hand.
Luckily, she had been prepared and had just recorded her conversation with Gavin Sinclair.
She had originally wanted to collect more evidence of Gavin Sinclair’s infidelity during their marriage.
That way, if it really ca to a divorce lawsuit, she would have a better chance of winning.
She just hadn’t expected the recording to be useful so soon.
She imdiately dialed Scarlett Jewel’s number. The call was answered quickly.
"What is it, Miss rcer? Did you hear that I might be pregnant with Gavin’s child and lose your cool?"
Scarlett Jewel’s tone was incredibly smug.
’But would she still be so smug if she knew Gavin Sinclair had no intention of marrying her at all?’
Claire rcer smiled and said,
"I have a recording here. I believe after you hear it, Miss Jewel, you’ll be the one who can’t keep her cool."
"What recording?"
"You’ll know once you’ve heard it."
With that, Claire hung up and sent the recording to Scarlett Jewel.
As long as Scarlett Jewel heard this recording, Claire didn’t believe she would remain indifferent.
’Didn’t she rush back from abroad precisely because she wanted to marry Gavin Sinclair and leap up the social ladder?’
’And yet, Gavin Sinclair had no intention of marrying her...’
She looked forward to seeing how Scarlett Jewel would react after hearing what he’d said.
’The look on her face will surely be priceless. It’s a sha I won’t get to see it.’
After sending the recording to Scarlett Jewel, she unhurriedly cut up a plate of fruit for herself.
Logically speaking, as the wife of the eldest grandson of Rhonia’s wealthiest family, she should have had servants at ho to wait on her.
But the Sinclair Family wouldn’t allow her to hire anyone, saying they were worried servants wouldn’t be careful and wouldn’t take care of Gavin Sinclair with enough dedication.
They said they trusted her to take good care of Gavin Sinclair and had high hopes for her.
So for the past two years, she had been Gavin Sinclair’s nanny, responsible for all his daily needs.
’And what did I get in return?’
’Looking back, I really was pitifully stupid.’
’Fortunately, I’ve completely woken up now, and it’s not too late to change things.’
Claire played on her phone, counting the seconds.
’Scarlett Jewel definitely won’t be able to sit still.’
Sure enough, her phone rang just a mont later.
"Claire rcer, you’re deliberately flaunting this in my face."
Her tone had completely lost its earlier smugness; instead, it was laced with frustration and fury.
"Miss Jewel seems quite angry," Claire said, popping a cherry into her mouth.
Scarlett Jewel gritted her teeth. "What are you so proud of?"
Claire rcer’s smile was bright, but her tone was dripping with heavy sarcasm.
"Miss Jewel, your charm seems to be so-so. I didn’t expect Gavin Sinclair to get tired of you so quickly."
"Weren’t you the one who swore you’d invite to your wedding?"
"But look, your dear Gavin has no intention of marrying you at all."
"All I did was pretend to back down, and I can’t believe you were defeated so easily."
Scarlett Jewel was about to explode with anger on the other end of the line.
She couldn’t even form a complete sentence. "Claire rcer, you bitch..."
"Miss Jewel, I understand your humiliation turning into anger."
"It’s just that you tried every trick in the book, and in the end, you still lost to ."
"Honestly, I thought you’d be a formidable opponent. I didn’t expect you to be such a pushover."
Scarlett Jewel: "..."
"I have to go. Gavin is still waiting for in the room."
With that, Claire decisively hung up the phone.
’Scarlett Jewel must be absolutely furious right now.’
But that was exactly the effect she wanted.
Enrage her, and she would definitely do everything in her power to snatch Gavin Sinclair away.
If Claire had just thrown Gavin Sinclair at her so easily, Scarlett might have suspected she was up to sothing.
The destructive power of a first love should never be underestimated.
Hopefully, Scarlett Jewel wouldn’t disappoint her.
「anwhile.」
Scarlett Jewel truly was about to explode with rage. Gavin Sinclair had clearly promised he would marry her.
And what was the result?
On one hand, he was sweet and tender with her, making promises.
On the other, he was unwilling to divorce Claire rcer... and even wanted to beco a real husband and wife with her.
Scumbag!
’So he doesn’t want to marry , huh?’
’Well, I’m going to make him marry in the grandest way possible.’
