She yelled, ” What would I want? Do you not realize in your heart what you did? You were the first to break your commitment! You made my family a joke!”
Rose shouted too loud, and when she panted, she was a little too harsh. It was much more clear that she was quite upset since her face was red.
Monica Wickam conceded, “Say what you think.”
The mother scowled. She continued to berate her.
“Everyone will assume that our family is in trouble if the marriage is annulled this time, but you Wickam’s remained untouched. I’m sure you’ve replaced our child with some other spouse. Why else are you this enthusiastic to announce it?! What kind of family takes an opportunity to get rid of our family like this?!”
Jerry’s face turned bitter. He opened her lips to retort, but Monica stopped him with a look.
“Even my enemies find It hard to speak ill of our families’ situation. Even common folk can think there’s something wrong with us! Your Wickam family has no problems at all! You hide behind your lies, and your legacy is built upon it!”
Mrs. Wickam couldn’t bear her accusation any longer, “You have such a gift for language, and you can change blame into an accusation, something I didn’t know before! Your family deceived us first, but we decided not to make it public. You honestly believe our Wickam family is not humiliated of you either?!”
Jerry Wickam withheld his tongue.
The woman rubbed her temple, “This matter is done. Go home. The Wickam family have done all they could to preserve your reputation.”
Undertones of threat surfaced in her reply.
However, Rose didn’t take it seriously. “I hope your Wickam family reconsiders the new decision on this matter.” She yelled, “Or I’ll have you all dead!”
“Dead?” The old man, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up. “What could you possibly do? You’ve tarnished your own reputation and now find the audacity to threaten my family?”
Rose gritted her teeth, “You’ll regret underestimating my family! I have the law on my side!”
