The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1127

Irene tried to speak. "I—"

Nathan tightened his grip on Michelle's hand and cut Irene off. "You should apologize to my wife. You owe her an apology."

Irene froze where she stood.

Nathan let out a sneer. "What? You don't want to say it? I gave you a chance, but it seems you don't even know how to cherish it."

The threat in his voice was unmistakable. He was forcing Irene to apologize to Michelle.

Michelle looked at Nathan in surprise. He was actually standing up for her!

Irene panicked. She admired Nathan's power and feared it just as deeply.

Swallowing hard, she turned toward Michelle. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lynch. This was all my fault. I shouldn't have been rude. I shouldn't have been full of myself. I shouldn't have raised my hand at you. Everything was my fault. Please forgive me!"

Michelle turned to Janet, who was standing behind her. "Are you willing to forgive her?"

Janet shook her head without hesitation. "She was arrogant when she was being the bully. Now she's backing down only because she has no choice. I don't want to forgive her."

Everyone had to pay for their mistakes. As adults, very few things could truly be settled with just a simple apology.

At that moment, the bar owner, Fredrick Paulsen, hurried in. "Mr. and Mrs. Lynch."

Nathan said calmly, "You're just in time. This woman is an eyesore. From now on, I don't want to see her here again."

Fredrick immediately nodded. "Yes, Mr. Lynch. I'll take care of it."

Nathan then took Michelle's hand. "Come on. Let's go home."

She nodded. "Okay."

After Nathan and Michelle left, Janet glanced at Irene. "Don't puff yourself up pretending to be something you're not, and don't be a wretched homewrecker!"

With that, she turned and walked away.

Irene's legs gave out, and she collapsed to the floor. She knew she was finished.

Fredrick said bluntly, "Irene, you don't have to come back to work anymore. Pack your things and leave the Capitol. Mr. Lynch doesn't want to see you again."

Tears streamed down Irene's face. This time, they were real.

She cried bitterly, "Mr. Paulsen, can you please spare me this once? I don't want to leave the Capitol!"

Janet climbed into the front passenger seat, and Jeremy started the car.

The luxury vehicle glided smoothly down the road.

She gave him an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

Michelle smiled and turned to Nathan. "Looks like I really married a good husband."

Nathan glanced at her. She was smiling sweetly, her red lips curved, clearly trying to please him.

The corner of Nathan's lips lifted slightly, and he let out a short laugh.

What was the meaning behind that laugh?

Michelle thought that it didn't feel warm at all. It somehow felt more like a quiet, knowing sneer. It was almost as if he was mocking her.
