Chapter 471 You Never Showed Me Concern

Finished

The three of them hurried toward the main building’s living room. No sooner had they arrived than they heard the sound of a cup smashing on the floor.

Upon looking on from the periphery of the crowd, sure enough, they saw Lionel, who was so angry that he had smashed his cup, and he had aimed it directly at Niel’s forehead. As a result, a swollen red mark had already formed there.

Niel was on his knees, seemingly aware of his own guilt, as he didn’t even attempt to dodge.

Upon closer inspection, Isabella noted that he was quite a striking gentleman. Meanwhile, seated on the couch next to him was a beautiful woman, her face pale and devoid of any expression.

Her demeanor was one of extreme indifference, as though she had completely given up. Hence, she didn’t seem to care about the person in front of her being in a difficult situation.

Oh my, Aunt Greta is so beautiful! I wonder what kind of woman Niel must have fallen for to betray someone as lovely as Aunt Greta.

Upon hearing Isabella’s heartfelt words, the attention of the entire Quirk family was immediately drawn toward her.

Soon enough, Isabella lived up to everyone’s expectations and reached a conclusion.

Hmm, everything looks fine. There’s nothing wrong with Aunt Greta and Uncle Niel. As for that cousin of mine, Lancelot, he’s too young to be of concern. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The Quirks let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time tension arose. Didn’t that mean only Hansel and that stepsister were the only ones left?

A stern voice snapped everyone back to reality.

“Back then, in this very same place, you knelt before me, pledging your devotion to Greta over a cup of tea. Have you forgotten all about that? Now you’re telling me that you’ve fallen in love with someone else. Do you think that’s fair to the woman who married you, who’s managed your home and raised your children all these years?” Lionel rebuked angrily.

“I admit, I’ve let Greta down. I’ll accept any punishment you deem fit.” Niel’s face was rigid, showing no signs of argument. “I didn’t want it to be this way, but before meeting that person, I had never experienced such a passionate love. I’m getting older, so I want to live for myself for once, without being bound by rules and restrictions.”

“Hah! We once firmly chose to spend the rest of our lives together, and now you’re telling me that you’ve never experienced true love until you met that woman To hell with your so–called true love!” Greta exploded with expletives for the first time. “Don’t think that dressing up your infidelity and change of heart in such fancy words won’t make people see you two as morally corrupt, without any bottom line, utterly disgusting! You knew what kind of family values we had before you married me, and you thought you could live up to them. Are you trying to say you were naive and ignorant now?”

Niel merely paled, yet he didn’t offer any rebuttal.

Greta gazed at her husband, ultimately too weary to argue further. “There’s nothing left to discuss. Let’s get a divorce.”

A flicker of regret crossed Niel’s face, but ultimately, he nodded in agreement.

“You’re the one at fault, so you will leave with nothing to your name!” Greta continued coldly.

Niel was immediately taken aback, looking up at Greta in surprise, seemingly unable to believe that she could be so ruthlessly decisive.

“What? You dare to cheat but are not brave enough to face the consequences?”

Niel wore a dark expression as he said, “There’s no way I’m leaving with nothing. I can give you more compensation, but you can’t take away my entire business. I’ve worked so hard to build it up.”

“What did you say? Are you implying that I have no part in your business?” Greta snapped in an instant. Her brothers also glared angrily in response.

Niel suddenly felt a surge of righteousness and declared, “It’s true that you were the one securing things at the back end, allowing me to work without worries. You do have a part in this, but you can’t leave me high and dry. Doing so would ruin my career!”

“You ruined my marriage, so why shouldn’t I ruin your career? After all, I was treating my marriage as a serious business!” Greta coldly retorted.

Niel suddenly spoke with a hint of annoyance. “Greta, I admit that I cheated on you, and I’m sorry for that. Hence, I’ve been patient and haven’t said much. But have you fulfilled your duties as a

wife? Are you even aware of the dangers I face at work? Have you ever shown concern for me? All you seem to do is socialize in your circle of high–society wives, living the life of a privileged woman. Tell me, where were you when I was in danger? You were safe at home, while I was stuck on the brink of death. She was the one who disregarded her own safety to be by my side, helping me through the hard times. If not for her, you would be a widow now, not a divorcee! Heh, perhaps you’d prefer to be a widow.”

The words he spoke were deeply piercing, as if Greta cared only for her reputation and status, completely disregarding the safety of her husband.
