Divorce never felt so good Novel by Adina Goodwill

Chapter 5 I glanced up at the person across from her , catching the s e smug , self satisfied look on their face , and the ch their eyes She instantly got the message this was pressure , and it was being put on her in front of outsiders Her eyes theked over to the Anderson family , who were acting like nothing was wrong , casually eating and drinking , completely oblivious .

Isis couldnt help but scoff inwardly .

The whole family was in on it , thinking shed just quietly take this humiliation becau cause there were guests around Well , too bad for them theyd made a big mistake Among everyone at the table , only Layla seemed to sense something was off .

Why the hell is the Anderson girl asking is for mition money when her parents are right there ? she wondered .

Is Isis the one in charge of the family finances ? Laylas mind started spinning , a wave of panic creeping in .

This wasnt good .

If Isis was in control of the money and decided to shuffle things around , what did that mean for Layla if she ended up marrying Adnan Anderson ? Would she be left with nothing ? Isis watched the clueless bunch at the table and casually asked , Your parents are sitting right here .

Why are you asking me for tuition ? The moment she spoke , the room froze .

arr about William and Zoe Anderson hadnt expected Isis to be so blunt .

She just tossed this bomb in front of Layla like it was nothing .

She didnt care the familys reputation .

Is she seriously planning to divorce Adrian they thought .

Adrians face went bright red , mortified .

Damn Isis is she trying to humiliate me in front of Layla on purpose ? Before anyone could say anything .

Alice piped up , acting like it was the most natural thing in the world .

You married my brother .

The Anderson family is your responsibility now .

Of course .

Im asking you for the money ! Alice couldnt help but think how hypocritical this was .

Before Isis had tied the knot with her brother , shed been more than willing to cough up the cash for ruition .

But now that she was in the family , her true colors were showing .

Zoe nodded , slowly realizing shed missed that detail .

Alice asking Isis for the money made sense now , but Zoe was worried about Laylas reaction to Isis managing the familys finances .

Sure enough Laylas expression shifted , clearly disapproving .

She wasnt happy about Isis being so involved in the Anderson family business Trying to smooth things over , Zoe turned to Isis with a strained smile .

Isis , why dont you go ahead and get the money for Alices tuition ! William said nothing , but his face was dark , clearly uncomfortable .

This situation was putting him on edge , and as the head of the family , he didnt like it Normally , his would have picked up on his discomfort and played along .

Surely , he thought shed do the same this time .

But Ists saw right through him , and this time , she wasnt going to play along .

She stood up and walked straight over to Alice .

William and Zoe exhaled in relief .

They still thought his would give them the face they were hoping for .

But just as they were about to relax , Alice suddenly exclaimed , What ? We dont have the money ? How am I supposed to explain this to the teacher ? William , Zor , and Adrian were all in shock .

Layla frowned .

The Andersons live in a freaking mansion , have all the best stuff how the hell dont they have money for tuition ? she thought to Shed heard the Andersons were doing better these days .

They werent the broke family from the old neighborhood anymore .

Zoes face went cold .

Alice What the hell are you a talking about .

Alice , now visibly pissed , shot is a glare before snapping at her mom .

Mom ! Isis says were out of money , and she told me to tell the teacher to huld off on the payment ! 113 Chapter 3 What the hell What do you think the teachers gonna say ? And the other students how am I supposed to hold my head up at school ! i bubbling over .

At her ele school most of the other kids came from rich families .

How could she admit she couldnt even pay her Shed be a joke ! Zoe just stared at 1sek , still trying to process what the hell was going on.

This was the first time since Isis joined the Anderson family that shed heard her say they were fat broke .

How could they be broke The Moore family has more money than God she thought .

Zoes expression soured , and the shot is a sharp look What the hell is this ? No money ? At this point , it was too late to cover it up .

Layla was right there , and the truth had already slipped out .

I shrugged casually Yeah , no money .

You guys told me I was in charge , but you didnt give me a cent to manage William Andersons brain clicked into place .

Isis was giving them an out , but his idiot daughter had to blurt everything out and make them look If she had kept her mouth shut , they couldve ured something out later , maybe skipped school for a day , and once Layla was gone , they couldve dealt with it provately He knew box had enough fancy stuff to sell to cover tuition .

But no .

And his wife , Zoe ! She was no better , arguing in front of outsiders .

How embarrassing He quickly stepped in Alright , lets not blow this out of proportion .

Do we really need to make a scene over this ? Adrian fell ha face burn with humiliation .

Expecially in front of Layla this was a nightmare After William spoke .

Adrian shot Isis a heated look .

Its just tuition how much could it be ? Why the hell are you making such a huge deal out of Just as I was about to snap back , Layla cut in .

She seriously wants to flush her money down the toilet ? Well , why the hell should I stop her ! At the same time .

Layla shot a sly look at Isis , thinking .

In her head .

Layla couldnt help but laugh at Isiss cheapness .

Tuition couldnt be that much , right ? she thought .

A few hundred Maybe a thousand ! Is it really worth acting like such a tightwad over ? Alier couldnt hide her grin .

She shot a look at Isis , practically daring her to respond , like saying .

She couldnt wait to see the look on Laylas face when she found out how much tuition actually.com William and Zoe froze for a moment .

Even though they knew Layla was going to be their future daughter in law , she wasnt technically part of the family yet , so it felt a little weird .

But a pretty great way to put Isis in a tough spot .
