Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 400 +25 Bonus " You disgust me ! If it weren't for Bobby and Edmund telling me all about it , I never would have known ! " I laughed scornfully . " Wait ... Bobby saw this before you and Edmund got together ? How ? When ? " " This was before you saw us in the hotel room that day ! " she blurted out . Her words hung in the air . Then she froze , reali how damning that sounded . I nodded slowly and let the silence press do on her . " So you admit it . You and Edmund were already together before I caught you cheating on me . That long , huh ? " Truthfully , I no longer cared about Hera .

The moment I chose to let her go , she stopped mattering . But part of me still wanted to push and see how far this delusional woman would go to justify herself . In her twisted confidence , Hera had backed herself into a corner . " Don't change the subject ! " she snapped . " Children don't lie ! That was my house too , Sebastian ! How dare you bring another woman there ? How dare you try to make me the villain when you were the one cheating first ? " " You've opened my eyes , Hera . Truly . " I smirked , clapping slowly . " Every word you say just makes me more grateful we're not together .

A woman as impossibly brain - dead as you is a danger to everyone near her . Someone could vomit garbage right in front of you , and you'd swallow it whole . " The woman she accused of being my mistress was Claire , which was laughable . I hadn't even met Claire until after I moved out of Hera's villa and into my new place downtown . Claire was also an architect my company had hired for the Beaushire expansion project . Nothing more . So when the hell did Bobby even see us together ? Hera's shrill , self - righteous.voice cut through my thoughts " What's the matter ?

Feeling guilty now that I've exposed you ? Bobby told me he saw everything ! " Children always tell the truth ! They're too innocent for lies , too pure for malice . Their words come from the heart , not from lust or deceit like yours ! If you hadn't done it , why would a child accuse you ? What reason could he possibly have ? " I stared at her silently . Every ounce of affection I once had for her had curdled into disgust . She took my silence as surrender . " What ? Cat got your tongue ? Confess it , Sebastian ! You cheated on me while we were still married .

You're the one who betrayed us , not me ! I only moved on after you did . So who's the sinner now ? " Her expression softened slightly as she slipped into her practiced tone of authority . " You might have made terrible mistakes , but I'm an Awakenist . I believe in redemption . Shut down your company , cut off every woman in your life , and come home . We can rebuild what we had . " This is your last chance , Sebastian . Even after your betrayal , I'm still offering you grace because of what we shared all these years .

" She looked at me with that familiar air of superiority , the same one I'd endured throughout our five - year marriage . It was as if every success I achieved was her gift , and I should be grateful to breathe in her presence . I didn't bother arguing . Instead , I unlocked my phone and opened my lawyer's message . It read : [ Thirty - day observation period . ] After my trip to Beaushire and two straight weeks of crunch time , today marked the end of that period . Chapter 400 I exhaled slowly , relief flooding through me . The legal tether binding us was gone .

I was finally free from this maddening bitch ! ADMINJ
