Are You Still Going to Make a Scene
Sam Evans let out a long sigh. "Ever since she drove Lana Evans out of the house, I started thinking about it! Then Lana came back, and I thought, with my daughter found, I’d give Susan Evans one more chance. If she truly regretted her actions and wanted to live a good life, I’d stay with her. Who could’ve guessed she’d never repent, and only got worse! Keeping a woman like her around scares me! Divorce—today, I must divorce her!"
Sam Evans was resolute, stubborn as an ox—he was dead set on not living with Susan Evans anymore.
Susan Evans never dreamed Sam Evans would really plan to divorce her. In a panic, she threatened, "Sam Evans, if you dare divorce me, I’ll throw myself against this pillar and die right in front of you!"
Sam Evans had lived with Susan Evans for decades—he knew her temperament inside out. He sneered, "Go ahead, do it! If you’ve got the guts, do it now! Let me tell you, even if you die in front of me, I’ll still burn this divorce paper for you!"
When Sam Evans got stubborn, not even nine bulls could drag him back.
Susan Evans was scared out of her wits and blurted, "Sam, you—you can’t divorce me! I gave you a son and a daughter. Even if you don’t want Lana anymore, you still have Stanley! How will you explain to Stanley that you divorced his mother? Stanley will hate you forever!"
"How will I explain to Stanley? Susan Evans, I think you’d better worry about that yourself!" Sam Evans’s voice was icy. "You go tell Stanley yourself—that you tried to murder Belle, that’s why you angered Lily and ended up with four concubines in the house! Ask Stanley: if the woman by his side is someone who’d do anything to get her way—even hurt innocent people—and who filled her own daughter’s head with hatred, driving Lana out and making her the root of all this trouble, all because of you! See if Stanley would really think his father was wrong to divorce you once he learns all that!"
"I—I..." Susan Evans’s face turned ashen in an instant.
Stanley Evans had always liked Belle. Even now, with Belle married and pregnant, Stanley still refused to marry anyone else. Others didn’t know, but Susan Evans did—it was because Stanley could never get over Belle.
If Stanley ever found out Susan Evans nearly killed Belle, he’d resent her deeply!
And as for Lana Evans running away—Stanley adored his only sister. After Lana was abducted, Stanley fell gravely ill upon hearing the news. If Stanley ever learned that Lana left home because Susan Evans had filled her with hatred, making her resent Sam Evans and Lily, and that’s why she was abducted—he’d never forgive Susan Evans!
The two women Stanley cared about most in his life—Belle and Lana Evans—had both suffered at Susan Evans’s hands.
Susan Evans had always been afraid to let Stanley know about these things. Now that Sam Evans had brought it all up, Susan was terrified and pleaded, "Sam, please don’t tell Stanley! Please, don’t let him find out! If you divorce me, my family won’t take me back because of what happened with Sunny Evans. I’ll have no one to rely on but my son. If Stanley finds out and resents me, who will I have left? Sam, you can’t cut off my only lifeline!"
Sam Evans snorted, "So if I divorce you, are you still going to make a scene?"
"I... I..." Susan Evans’s lips trembled as she weighed her options. Sam Evans clearly felt nothing for her anymore; all that was left between them was scheming. Even if they stayed married, it meant nothing. If they could part on decent terms, Susan could still rely on her son. If she forced things and Sam Evans exposed everything to Stanley, she’d truly be left with nothing and no one!
