Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day

Chapter 9

The buzzing in Madison’s head was growing louder.

She couldn’t remember when she had placed her phone on the table. Clenching her fists, she tried her best to stay calm.

She had sacrificed her future for those two ungrateful people, and she couldn’t help but feel like a fool.

The image of her husband snuggled with another woman played in her mind. Standing alone, she felt utterly abandoned, and the sensation almost brought her to her knees.

But her pride held her up. She turned to Lucas and asked in a steady voice, “Do you see me as nothing more than a nanny, Lucas? Is it that because I don’t do as you’want, because I don’t meet your demands, you call me heartless?”

Tears welled up in Madison’s eyes. She wanted to give Lucas a piece of her mind, even drive them both out of the house.

e I been looking after you for so long that you think everything I for you is a given? The woman you’re with now is a mistress. The act that I haven’t beaten her to a pulp shows how merciful I am. And yet you have the audacity to ask me to look after your child with her and mock me? Let me clarify, you, Lucas, cheated within our marriage! Also, correct me if I’m wrong, the woman you love is a public figure, right? If the media finds out about her home-wrecking behavior, think about the consequences…” Madison took steps forward until she was face-to-face with them.

A powerful aggression, suppressed for years, surged forward, targeting the two shameless people in front of her.

Sophia’s eyes widened in surprise, her throat bobbed as she swallowed nervously, moving slightly away from Lucas.

Madison’s sharp gaze didn’t miss this. She sneered, “Furthermore…”

“You mentioned a divorce settlement of only a hundred thousand? Don’t dream during the day, Lucas. On the day we divorce, we’ll split the assets as we should. If you two think you can force me out with nothing, go ahead and try. I think if push comes to shove, you two will lose more than I will.”

At this moment, Lucas suddenly felt like he didn’t know the real Madison at all.

Turns out she wasn’t just gentle and patient. She also had her prickly side, honed over the years, ready to strike and draw blood.

Madison held back her tears, staring at the two of them with a chilling curse in her eyes.

It was Lucas who taught her to be considerate and responsible, but also brought her immense humiliation.

She only hoped that they would lead an unhappy and messy life.

After all, those who do wrong should pay the price, an undeniable law of this world.

She didn’t buy into the concept of ‘wishing each other well’. She doubted she could achieve such a forgiving mindset in this lifetime.

Turning her gaze away, Madison began to stuff her belongings into her suitcase.

The awards that once proved her excellence and brilliance now shattered her pride.

Meanwhile, the phone on the table, still amidst a call, went dark silently.

Lucas watched her for a long time, opened his mouth several times. but couldn’t say anything. In the end, he watched as she picked up her bags and walked out.

As she descended the stairs, Madison didn’t look back at Lucas.

She only glanced at the home they had shared.

How much energy did one need to create a new home?

Madison couldn’t remember how much effort she had to exert to

open the door and take that step outside.

When the door closed behind her, the not-so-heavy sound felt like a thunderous clap, exploding in her inner world.

Before the door shut close, Madison heard Sophia babbling about not having a share in the property.

Outside, the dusk was beautiful, as if the sky was set ablaze by a torch.
