Chapter 838
Marcus stormed off, fuming.
"You're gonna regret this!" Celine covered her face, stomping her foot and yelling in frustration.
After marrying into the Miller family, Barbara spent her days shopping and hitting up parties, never holding down a real job.
Right now, Barbara was on the phone with her mom, May.
"Anyway, I'm never going back to the Martinez family. Last night was the last straw!" Barbara spat out, seething. "That bitch Haley slapped me, and Grandma just stood there, doing nothing. My dad was right there and didn't even defend me. The Martinez family treats me like crap. No way I'm going back."
"How can you say that? Last time Marcus brought his side chick home, wasn't it your dad who personally went to confront him and made him straighten up? Barbara, your dad cares about you, but you need to show some backbone too. Stop making us worry all the time." May paused and then said, "I think you should consider getting a divorce."
"No, I won't get a divorce!" Barbara snapped, her voice shaking with anger.
Every time she spoke, her face hurt. The slap from Haley last night was nothing compared to the beating Marcus gave her this morning. Both sides of her face were swollen.
Throughout their marriage, Marcus had always been violent towards her. It was the right choice to get a divorce, but she was unwilling to give up.
When she first married into the family, Marcus was a nobody in the Miller family. He relied on her money and her family's influence to climb step by step into the core leadership of the Miller Group, and he was very likely to become the next heir of the Miller family.
Barbara sneered. Now that Marcus had power, he wanted to kick her out to make room for his other mistresses to become his wife. Dream on!
May sighed, "You can find a better husband since you're still young. You don't have to hang all your hopes on Marcus."
"All men are heartless bastards. I don't plan on finding another husband. I just need to make Marcus pay; otherwise, I won't be satisfied with a divorce!" Barbara said through gritted teeth.
At that moment, a servant came in to report that a guest had arrived.
Barbara pursed her lips and said, "Mom, a guest is here. I'll talk to you later."
She hung up the phone, took out a mirror to cover some of the bruises on her face with makeup, and then went to the living room.
When Barbara saw Celine sitting on the living room sofa, she instantly became furious.
Wasn't this the mistress Marcus brought home a few months ago?
Barbara rushed over, slapping Celine hard across the face.
"It won't help. Marcus will never give you his heart," Celine said coldly, having nothing to lose. "Barbara, no matter how much makeup you put on, you can't cover the slap marks on your face. How pathetic are you getting slapped by your cousin and your husband."
Barbara, who was never known for her good temper, slapped her again upon hearing this.
Celine dodged and sneered, "Mrs. Miller, give me five million dollars, and I'll leave Marcus immediately."
"Daydreaming about it!" Barbara almost laughed in anger.
Marcus had so many mistresses. If each one came to her for five million dollars, she'd be broke!
Having long given up on Marcus, she didn't care how many mistresses this douchebag had. She was now plotting how to make Marcus lose in the competition for the Miller family's assets.
