Getting My Ex-wife Back

Panicked, Marissa stumbled backward, pointing at Rossie as she trembled. “B-bull-bullsh*t. What are you talking about?”

“People make mistakes; that’s normal, but those who right their wrongs can be forgiven. Unlike some people who would only keep doing the wrong even when they know it’s wrong. Everyone knows that she is a heinous, evil witch, but her family kept quiet because they didn’t want her to be sad. But she is an evil witch, after all, doing nothing but the wicked, yet living like a self-righteous a*s. If I were her, I’d just lock myself in a room and become a mummy.”

“What a shame. She’s living all high and mighty even after hurting her own family.”

“Ridiculous, don’t you think? I wonder if God has fallen asleep. How is she still alive and kicking when so many had died?”

Deanna blinked in awe of her sister-in-law. What a razor tongue!

However, Marissa was still their senior, so Deanna thought Rossie should still be a little more respectful. Even though Marissa was in the wrong, she shouldn’t say something like that.

With that, Deanna tugged at Rossie and said, “C’mon, let’s go back. Have some mercy.”

“Oh, I will spare her, but will God?” Rossie stared at Marissa’s pale face with her fathomless gaze, having no intention to leave. Grabbing onto something, supporting herself, Marissa looked at Rossie. “How did you learn of this? Who did you hear this from?”

“Oh, it’s an open secret, but why are you so afraid of people knowing? How interesting. If you’re so afraid, you should ki-”

“Enough!” Trevor’s roar came from behind the girls just as Rossie was speaking. However, Rossie didn’t look the slightest bothered when she turned to see who it was.

On the other hand, Deanna was petrified, her heart racing as she hurriedly waved her hand, hesitant to speak.

Rossie then made her way to the exit, saying, “Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re old. Those who were condemned to die will die.”

“The saddest thing that would happen to you is that nobody will mourn for you when you die, not even your family.”

Marissa staggered and almost lost her footing. She felt her whole body go limp as the world was crushing her.

Rossie took a gander at Trevor and strode forward but turned around mid-way, saying to him, “I know you’ve always been doing things out of goodwill, and I also know your love for your wife is unparalleled given how you can condone her to this extent.”

“But she’s like water. You thought you were doing her good by leaving her outside, letting her experience the world, letting her do all she pleases. But that’s not it, isn’t it? And it’s exactly because she’s water she will change.”

“And the person that changed her isn’t someone else but you!”

“A word of advice as well, Miss Lautner. How I treat my wife is my business. Don’t think I will sit and do nothing just because you’re Rayan’s daughter-in-law. Even if it’s Rayan and Hannah, I will not let them do as they please in my home.”

Deanna trembled in fear at Trevor’s grim look, but Rossie wouldn’t. She was the type that wouldn’t show fear no matter how taunting the person she faced was.

“Really? So you’re saying your wife can do the despicable and not be responsible for it?”

“You don’t have to twist my words. I’m in charge of my family; I can do whatever I want to them.”

“Then I have nothing more to say to that. However, a word of advice, the heavens watch our every move. No matter how wealthy your family is, you can resurrect the dead. There are some things that I don’t want to say too much, but you should know karma’s a b*tch.”

With that, Rossie left. Trevor’s face paled in anger, baffled that Zorion had gotten himself such a wife.

Deanna chased after Rossie, asking when she was outside, “How could you say all that? My mom will definitely flip when she finds out.”

Rossie glanced at Deanna and said, “Don’t tell me you think Marissa’s right, and Trevor’s blind protection of her is right as well.”

“I didn’t say that. But you saw it yourself. They’re already so old, don’t you think we should just call it quits?”

“Do you think Raeleigh will end up like this if we do that? Her hands are so important to her, but Marissa ruined her hand without regret and even took advantage of her age, trying to escape responsibility…”

I thought a family like the Richards would be well educated, but what a bunch of disappointment.”

Deanna saw her brother coming to them from the corner of her eye and blinked, finally free. She walked toward Zorion and gave him a glance before making her way back to the Green Jade Garden.

Rossie only walked over to him after a moment’s pause.

Zorion pulled her close and warmed her hands. “You were gone for so long I was getting worried. Aren’t you cold?”

Zorion had become fiercely protective of her ever since she agreed to stay and even more pampering after she was pregnant.

Her head slightly lowered, Rossie stated, “Marissa’s a lucky woman. Trevor spent his whole life loving her, but she only brought disgrace upon herself, spending the last bit of her luck, driving herself to a dead end.”

“Rossie, I understand your concern, but it’s not our place to say anything. What happened to Raeleigh was indeed tragic, and I feel sorry for her too, but some things are just beyond our control. I know you wanted to seek justice for her, but confronting them may make things worse for Raeleigh.” Zorion didn’t want Rossie to get too hell-bent on the matter. Marissa was their elder, after all. They wouldn’t be able to do much even if they tried.

Rossie glanced at Zorion and said, “You two really are siblings. You say the same things; even your brains are linked. I never said I’d do anything to her, have I? But the truth is out in the open; it’s her fault, yet Trevor keeps making excuses for her. Do you think that’s justifiable?”

“Look at how Raeleigh is now. Do you think she will have her happily ever after marrying into this family even after all of this is history?”

“Marissa has and never will treat Raeleigh as a human being. She’s a dog to her, don’t you get it?”

“I didn’t wish to be born into an unsightly family, but that doesn’t mean I should have an unsightly life.”

“What if this all happened to Deanna? Would you still do the same if she followed Jacky back to Waverly Village and was bullied by her in-laws because she had a miscarriage?”

“A woman’s chastity isn’t something you men can chuck around as you please like a rag.”

“Raeleigh may be generous enough to walk away after being abandoned by the man who was once inside of her, but I won’t.”

Shook, Zorion hurriedly comforted Rossie, “Rossie, my love; please keep it down. If you keep this up, our baby will be in trouble. Aren’t I behaving?”

Rossie wrapped her arms around Zorion, calming down. “I’m just angry at how unfair this world is. Look at how miserable Raeleigh is with her broken hand. Hasn’t she lost enough already?

“I don’t want to see Raeleigh living in a place like this. If she decides to leave someday, I will not hesitate to give her a hand and make sure she never has to return.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Zorion was rendered speechless. He moved her away from his embrace and looked at her for some time before saying, “Let’s talk about this some other day, okay?”

Rossie had already known Zorion like the back of her hand. He would let the matter simmer whenever he disagreed with her. She’d like to see what he would say to her when that time comes.
