Chapter 1577 No Forgiveness for Cheaters
Abigail was bewildered when she first arrived at the scene. For years, she had always maintained the upper hand. She was confident that the old and ugly Natalia stood no chance against her and would soon surrender her place as Gideon's wife.
Knowing Natalia's notorious temper, Abigail had planned to provoke her into a fallout. She intended to paint Natalia as an incompetent wife who failed to keep her husband in line and as a grouchy woman lacking an educator's qualities.
Wynter was aware that Abigail's harassment had pushed Natalia into emotional turbulence. That was why Wynter chose to confront the issue in such a way.
Women often faced greater challenges than men. If a woman had expressed her pain over a failed marriage, people would judge her as unstable. They would even mock her attempts to confront the homewrecker, claiming such actions were pointless and humiliating.
How ridiculous. Why should a woman pardon her cheating husband and the homewrecker? It was only fair to confront the homewrecker for her indecency.
Unfortunately, public opinion was skewed and filled with absurd remarks. The most classic saying criticized women for clinging to their partners after the love had faded, mocking the women's incompetence to keep their partners.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
In the eyes of many, the one spurned was the loser in the relationship. Agreeing with the saying, Abigail intended to taunt Natalia and turn her into a figure of ridicule.
A closer look at society revealed that the public often overlooked those involved in adultery. Meanwhile, the woman was expected to move on with her life by friends and family. If she struggled to find happiness over time, she would be blamed for her perceived failure.
Wynter was determined to save Natalia from such injustice. Natalia had proven herself as a dedicated educator and deserved to be honored for her efforts!
"I understand your worries, Mr. Valencia, but there's no need to be anxious. I'd like to have a chat with Ms. Zaretsky," Wynter said as she took a step forward, though her words were infuriating as ever.
Upon hearing Wynter address her by her maiden name, Natalia looked up and met Wynter's gaze. In that fleeting moment, an unspoken understanding passed between the two. Natalia took Wynter's hand, her voice trembling as she expressed her gratitude.
Wynter chuckled softly. "This is just the beginning, Ms. Zaretsky. I understand you're usually busy with classes, but the divorce mustn't be taken lightly.
"Under certain circumstances, you have the legal right to demand that the guilty party leave the marriage without splitting any assets. As for the adultress, you can seek compensation for the loss of marital property from her.
"My family has a strong legal team, and my brother specializes in divorce property division.
He recently won a case for my uncle. I'm sure you've heard about the situation with Noah Whitman."
The crowd instantly fell silent at the mention of Noah. Everyone in Hawford knew about the tumultuous divorce between the Whitman and Montclair families. The incident had hit the headlines multiple times, along with the Montclairs' outrageous antics.
The crowd was thinking how unfortunate Noah was to have to experience such turmoil, but then they focused on the fact that Wynter referred to him as her uncle.
"Oh my god, you're Wynter Quinnell! The one who acquired that lucrative land!" Someone gasped.
"Is she the one who helped the local canneries get back on their feet? She doesn't seem like the type for business! So beautiful and charming! You're amazing, Ms. Quinnell!" another chimed in.
The students erupted into excited chatter, all faces lighting up with smiles.
Wynter hadn't expected such a response. She had purposely revealed her identity to unsettle Gideon, hoping that he would then reach out to his superior. Of course, she also intended to throw Abigail off balance.
