Madam Wants To Divorce Her Second Husband-Chapter 64

Cindy hummed a song happily as she unlocked the door to her apartment. She took off her heels, breezed through the living room, and headed to the kitchen.

She grabbed a bottle of soda, popped it open, and returned to the living room to watch some movies on Netflix.

After meeting with her future mother-in-law, she no longer had any grievances because her position within Sebastian’s office had been secured.

Cindy was enjoying her time, putting her feet on the table while drinking soda, when she heard someone calling her.

"Cindy."

Cindy turned around and saw her mother—well, foster mother—standing on the staircase, holding the railing as her old body wasn’t stable enough.

Gina looked concerned when she saw Cindy return early from work. She grew even more concerned when an expensive car parked in front of their apartments, and Cindy walked out.

Gina saw a lady in her fifties driving the car, and she and Cindy seemed to have a good relationship. It was so bizarre for Gina to comprehend.

"Why are you back so early? And who is that woman who drives you home?"

Honestly, Cindy had no intention of telling Gina anything. After all, this old woman would only scold her for whatever reason.

Cindy was tired of being second in everything. She didn’t want to lose against Winter anymore.

"It’s none of your business, Mom."

"Cindy!"

"Okay, no need to shout at me, geez," Cindy clicked her tongue. "I came back early because Winter told me to go home. She bullied me and embarrassed me in front of the CEO. Oh, you won’t believe all the harsh things that she said about me."

"Winter would never do that."

"And what makes you think she won’t? Maybe you have dementia or something, Mom. But Winter is filthy rich, and she doesn’t even give us a better apartment to live in! If she were really kind, she’d give us a better place!" Cindy yelled back.

"That’s because I want to stay in Brooklyn, even in my old days! What’s wrong with you? You’ve never complained about this before."

"Because I just realized how stupid this is. Why should I be grateful when she’s doing a bare minimum to me—to us?" Cindy challenged her with a question. "She’s not a good person, Mom. She’s a stingy bitch who doesn’t know how to repay you for all the things you’ve done for her!"

Gina was speechless.

No, she didn’t believe anything that Cindy said.

But that was exactly the problem.

Cindy would’ve never said something so heinous towards Winter, the sister who helped her through dire times; bought a two-story apartment in a good neighborhood in Brooklyn, gave them a monthly allowance, and paid everything for Cindy to study at a good university.

Winter had done so much, so Gina just couldn’t understand what had plagued her second daughter.

"Oh, and you want to know what your daughter did until I returned home crying my eyes out? She scolded me right in front of Sebastian Saenz. She said that I dressed like a slut, and I was a waste of breath. She even told Sebastian to kick me out because I don’t have any talent!"

Now, Gina really didn’t believe Cindy at all.

Winter probably scolded her a little for wearing something so inappropriate in the office. Gina already tried to stop Cindy before she went to the office this morning, but Cindy insisted that the CEO wanted her to wear it.

"You need to stop slandering your sister, Cindy. Winter wouldn’t say any of that," Gina said, defending Winter. "You should call Winter now and apologize. Wear something formal, and you might have a chance to return to the office tomorrow."

"Oh, I don’t need to beg her to stay in the office," Cindy smirked. "Do you remember the woman who drove me home? She’s Sebastian’s mother, and she’s kind and generous. She apologized to me because of her son’s behavior and told me to stay in the office because Sebastian needs a competent secretary, not his stupid wife who can’t do anything but complain!"

"She’s your sister’s mother-in-law! What are you trying to do here?"

"What am I trying to do? Nothing much, except to make her MY mother-in-law instead," Cindy admitted shamelessly. "I mean, isn’t it funny how Winter always gets everything good? I thought there must be a limit to how lucky someone could be, but when I found out Winter has a very nice mother-in-law, I realized it was unfair! It’s never fair for me!"

If Gina had the strength, she would’ve run towards Cindy and slapped her on her face for saying crazy stuff.

But in the end, all she could say was, "I raised you wrong, Cindy."

Gina turned around and ignored Cindy, who began ranting once more.

"You raised me wrong? No, Mom, you raised Winter wrong! That bitch doesn’t deserve to be lucky when she has been nothing but cruel to me! She doesn’t know gratitude!"

Cindy clicked her tongue when she saw Gina returning to her room without looking back at her. She had been enduring this disrespect for too long. Even her mother didn’t put Cindy in her eyes.

"Whatever. I know she’s biased towards Winter anyway," Cindy muttered, rolling her eyes as she returned to the sofa and watched Netflix.

To say that her mother’s reaction didn’t hurt her would be a lie. She was saddened because nobody understood her.

She was never important to anyone.

’That’s why I have to take what should be mine,’ Cindy told herself. ’Winter already has Aiden, so Sebastian should be mine instead. Sisters should share, right? How come she could hog all the good things, leaving me with nothing but embarrassment?

Meanwhile, Gina sat on her bed. She grabbed her phone and took a deep breath as she prepared herself to call Winter.

She didn’t want to accuse her beloved daughter but had to clarify what truly happened.

Soon, the call connected.
