Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 123 Have You Really Thought This Through By the time I got home, the delicious aroma of dinner had already filled the air. Mom hurriedly called for us to wash up and have dinner.

As we took our seats, Beata was sitting directly across from me. Next to her sat Jeremiah, who looked at me with obvious disdain.

Even though I was about to divorce Jeremiah, I still had to show the proper respect to my elders.
