My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 173

Chapter 173: You’re Finally Back Sis
Tracie glared at Selene, slightly stunned to speak. All she wanted to do was get Selene to leave and never come back, and now, the latter was planning on coming back the next day. She didn’t want that to happen.

“I’m not teaching you anything,” she objected.

“Then I will tell Mother about it,” said Selene. “She already wants me to move in. It’s like the more you want me to leave, the more I want to stay,” she added, smiling when she saw Tracie’s face pale.

“You should be ashamed of yourself, Selene. You got married to the son of my father’s enemy…” Tracie trailed off as she scoffed, a slow grin pulling on her cheeks. “You’d better get ready to see Xavier and Father fight from now on.”

A deep frown settled on Selene’s face, wondering what Tracie meant with her words.

Earlier, at the dining table, Selene could feel the glare her father shared with Xavier. Now hearing from Tracie there was a chance of the both of them fighting, it made her uncomfortable.

Then, she remembered Jeffrey had requested to have a word with Xavier before her mother brought her to the painting room.

“Is that what you want?” Selene asked Tracie.

The latter shrugged. “If it can get you to never come here ever again, then yes, that’s what I want.”

Although Selene was aware Tracie was older than her within a few years, she had the sudden urge to strike her across the face. However, she could only clench her fists to suppress such an urge.

Tracie had made things clear to her. She despised Selene for a reason she still didn’t understand, and she was willing to witness their father fight Xavier all just to get her to never come to the Clark mansion anymore.

“Why are you glaring at me? Are you angry at me?” Tracie threw her head back to chuckle. “You should be angry at yourself. You married the son of your father’s enemy. I heard Ezekiel and their father discussing how to convince you to divorce him.”

Selene felt as if a bomb had just exploded above her head as she stared at Tracie in utter disbelief.

Divorce

“You are lying…” Selene managed to say. Since she’d identified Tracie as an enemy, she wasn’t going to believe any word that came out of the latter’s mouth.

“First you call me an idiot, and now a liar. I just want to strangle you to death,” Tracie threatened, but then huffed before smiling at Selene. “I wouldn’t lie to you, dear sister. I believe you love Xavier and wouldn’t want to divorce him right? Hmm….” Tracie hummed, her index finger on her chin as she calculated the situation. “If you don’t divorce Xavier, father might have no choice but to disown you. So sad—”

“Tracie! What are you telling your sister?” Nora questioned Tracie as she walked up to them, rage evident in her expression as she glared at Tracie.

“I was only helping Ezekiel and Father by telling her the truth so that they could save their strength,” Tracie defended as she tried to stifle a grin when she saw Selene’s confused expression.

Nora darted her eyes toward Selene before her gaze landed on Tracie one more time.

“No one asked you for any help, Tracie. Leave right now!” Nora commanded, her tone stern which left no room for argument.

Tracie clicked her tongue and glared at Selene for half a second before she turned around and left while her heels clicked behind her until she completely exited the painting room.

Nora faced Selene, then placed a hand on Selene’s hand.

“Don’t listen to whatever she tells you…”

“Was she telling the truth?” Selene asked.

Nora parted her lips to speak but no words could come out.

Selene’s shoulders dropped. Nora’s lack of words only meant all that Tracie said was the truth.

“I’m never going to divorce Xavier. It’s not going to happen and I don’t mind if father disowns me,” she declared.

The emotions she’d felt when she met them earlier had all disappeared, replaced with anger.

“You don’t have to divorce Xavier. I will try to convince your father but like I said, you don’t have to divorce Xavier. And your father won’t disown you,” Nora tried to convince Selene.

Nora wasn’t on the same page as Jeffrey. Thomas’ betrayal had been brutal and it pushed Jeffrey to make sure he didn’t share any kind of connection with the Wallace family anymore.

But she didn’t want their daughter to suffer what she had no idea about.

“I hope he listens to you, but if he doesn’t….” She drawled, already aware of what her next steps would be.

She was only meeting for the first time, and they were already expecting her to divorce Xavier. It was something that hadn’t crossed her mind since she fell in love with him.

If it had been two years ago, then she was ready to divorce him, but currently, things have changed.

“I have to leave now, Mother,” Selene announced, grabbed her purse, and walked past the middle-aged woman.

Selene reached the living room and found Jeffrey, Ezekiel, and Xavier together with Kael who seemed to not want to be bothered with whatever they could be talking about since his focus was on his phone.

Xavier wore an ugly expression, and Selene guessed Jeffrey had already asked him to divorce her.

“Xavier,” she called, gaining all of their attention as their heads turned to look at her. “Let’s go home.”

“Wait, it’s only 8 pm. Spend some more time with us,” Jeffrey requested.

“There’s no need, father,” Selene responded.

From her tone, Jeffrey detected there must be something wrong. He glanced at Nora who stood behind Selene, her face filled with worry.

Xavier stood up from the couch, relieved they were finally leaving.

Inside an enormous room of furniture with the best interior designs, a lady pulled out the drawer and brought out a picture.

Tracie stared at the picture of Selene when she was younger, a small smile pulling on her lips as she caressed the picture.

“You’re finally back, sis. I missed you so much,” she whispered as tears streamed down her face.
