Chapter 509: Chapter 488: She just got married, and she’s already divorced like this?

She came from the countryside, and according to rural customs, they became a couple after holding a banquet. So at that time, she impulsively decided to hold a banquet first, and Theo Scott agreed. As for their marriage certificate, he didn’t bring it up later, and she didn’t remember it.

By the time she remembered, they had already entered the cold war phase. He was either working overtime or on a business trip and never showed up again. So she became desperate, and when she saw Madeline, she thought of using this despicable tactic.

Unexpectedly, Madeline wasn’t harmed, the media didn’t report it, and Theo, the man himself, caught her in the act of the live performance.

The live version was different from the one edited and broadcast by the media. All her thoughts were exposed, and she was nervous. What she didn’t expect was that he would rather go broke than stay married to her!

She had just gotten married recently, and now she’s being divorced like this?

How could she accept it? How could she bear it?

Sienna Harrison left the mall with Jaysen Smith’s parents, and then they suggested having afternoon tea together since it was still early. Madeline’s heart suddenly tightened, and her nerves were all tensed up, feeling that the show in front of the media was over, and now they were going to settle accounts.

"Madeline, why aren’t you talking? If Jaysen’s not here, you think we’re strangers? If you don’t have plans, invite your friends, and we’ll sit together for a while!"

Upon hearing the words "invite your friends," Madeline’s heart relaxed a bit, at least it wouldn’t be a one-on-one lecture. Of course, the clichéd scenes of paying off and leaving in TV dramas wouldn’t be played out, because the ten-billion betrothal gift that the Smith family paid is hard cash. They must wait for the dowry to be returned before doing anything further!

So the only possibility was that her new mother-in-law would investigate all aspects of her private life!

If it were an ordinary mother-in-law, she wouldn’t be afraid with her fierce personality. However, her mother-in-law had just staged a smarter, more intense battle. It was like a winning general in the battle of tearing each other apart.

Now that Jaysen wasn’t by her side, she was indeed a little scared.

"Um... um... Mom!"

Having left the mode of showing affection in front of the media, it was difficult for her to call "Mom" smoothly for the first time in her life, so it took Madeline a while to call out.

"Hmm? What’s wrong? If you have something to say, speak up!"

Seeing her awkward look, Mrs. Smith frowned and then used her phone to look in the mirror, doubting herself for a moment before confirming that she indeed didn’t have the image of an evil mother-in-law.

"Madeline, just say whatever’s on your mind. This way, you’ll only make people suspicious. Your mom hates people who can’t speak clearly the most, causing a lot of misunderstandings and tormenting yourself for no reason. Only fools with no emotional intelligence would do such a thing!"

Madeline: "..."

Does this mean she’s indirectly telling her she’s not an evil mother-in-law?

However, Madeline still felt that the incident just now should be explained. If she said it when it happened, it would be an explanation; if she explained it when it needed to be explained, it would become an excuse.

So Madeline still believed in speaking openly.

"Mom, what just happened wasn’t as you heard!"

When Madeline said this, she was actually not confident, and her head lowered as she spoke. Her obedient appearance was like a little girl who had done something wrong.

Mrs. Smith had already said so much, naturally believing that she had slept with other men. Of course, it now depends on whether she cares about her daughter-in-law’s chastity.

"So, what was it like? Do you want to tell Mom?" Mrs. Smith looked at her somewhat shy and nervous demeanor, and couldn’t help but laugh softly, "If you want to say something, just say it! Hiding and tucking away only leads to suspicion. The foolish thing your mom hates the most in her life is not being clear, causing a bunch of misunderstandings, and inexplicably tormenting yourself!"

Madeline: "..."

What a fierce mother, but she really likes her!

Her mood suddenly became so relaxed.

"Yeah, that’s why I wanted to explain to Mom. I had a boyfriend, and we’ve been together for a while, since school. I think Jaysen probably mentioned it to you, right?!"

As she spoke, Madeline looked up furtively at her mother-in-law’s face, and seeing that she didn’t change color, she continued, "But, we were innocent and didn’t do anything inappropriate, not like what Mrs. Scott said!"

"Ah?!"

Madeline’s words had just fallen when she heard Mrs. Smith incredulously exclaim, and then gestured to Mr. Smith to avoid the topic of discussion between them women.

"Madeline, are you telling me that your ’that time of the month’ is not normal?" Mrs. Smith, while speaking, looked closely at her slightly embarrassed expression, her eyebrows raised with surprise as if she had discovered a new world.

Madeline: "..."

Is that what she means?

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

Why is there such a cute mother-in-law!

"Mom, my ’that time of the month’ is pretty normal. I just wanted to clarify with you about my innocence. What Mrs. Scott said about me and her husband isn’t entirely true!"

After a pause, Madeline couldn’t bear to look into her eyes, fearing that once her gaze met, she wouldn’t be able to speak her explanation, and she didn’t know when she would have the opportunity and courage to do so again. After all, the first impression of a mother-in-law is crucial.

But just before she could speak the rest of her words, her mother-in-law spoke first!

"So, Madeline means that it’s true that she was in a relationship with him for six years!"

As she spoke, the old lady bent down and looked closely at her, "but it’s not true that they rolled around in bed for six years, hm?"

Madeline: "..."

Why is her mother-in-law so understanding?

Does she have a worm in her belly that knows what’s going on with her emotions?

This kind of thing, when talking to Ivy Aretha, is something she could easily say, but when speaking to an elder, she couldn’t say it as smoothly. However, she didn’t expect her mother-in-law to say it so readily.

"Yes!"

With that thought, Madeline nodded her head in agreement with her mother-in-law’s words. She felt something was wrong, and suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly raised her head, "No, it’s not like that!"

Mrs. Smith: "..."

Is she so anxious because the information she collected is fake?

"If it’s not like that, then how is it?"

"It’s not that they rolled around in bed for six years, oh no, it’s not about how many years of rolling around, it’s about the issue of rolling around in bed itself!"
