Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game

Chapter 535 Mrs. Chambers Fainted

Ophelia said with guilt, “Mom, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I let you down”

“Don’t get a divorce if you feel sorry. There is no reason for divorce no matter what happens. Besides, Zachariah didn’t contact Cora too much and he began to tolerate you and spoil you since then. Could you just move on and get along well with him? You had knew there was a “Cora” at the beginning. Why do you get mad now? The Chambers family has treated you fairly. Why do you have to get a divorce?”

Every single word hurt Ophelia so much.

Her eyes were getting more and more sorrowful.

Almost all family members saw her as a sinner because of the divorce.

Everyone thought it’s not a big deal for Zachariah to cheat on her. She who insisted on a divorce was a trouble-maker. She, as a humble girl, should thank the Chambers family for agreeing her marriage to Zachariah. It was a mortal sin for her to get a divorce, divide Zachariah’s property and fight for the custody of Tommy instead of kneeling down to show gratitude. She was unforgivable and deserved to be backbit.

“Mrs. Chambers, I’m so sorry.” That was all Ophelia could say now. The divorce had almost consumed all affection between her and Mrs. Chambers for years.

“Stop it. Tell me for the last time. Are you really going to sign divorce papers with Zachariah?” asked Mrs. Chambers seriously.

Ophelia’s silence showed her tacit consent.

The divorce burdened upon her heart. She wouldn’t do that if she got a choice. However, she couldn’t afford to wait because her eyesight was getting worse and worse. She was exhausted since she had pretended to be normal in front of the Chambers family members all these days.

“Ophelia, I told you that you would never be the daughter-in-law of the Chambers family once you leave. It is impossible for you to get back here. I know well what I want and what I hate. I loved Cora as much as I love you. However, I have been hating her to this day because she was ingrate. I thought you were sensible but you let me down anyway.

We will be strangers if you step out of the gate of the Chambers family and don’t call me Mom even if we meet someday.”

Ophelia was dumbfounded by her tough words with her eye sockets immediately red-up. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Mom...”

Mrs. Chambers looked away choking with sobs. “Ophelia, It’s all your choice. We are still mother and daughter-in-laws and I will love you as much as I do now as long as you don’t get the divorce.”

Ophelia opened her mouth to say something but didn’t make it as if she was getting a lump in her throat.

“Mom, it was I that put forward the divorce since I have fallen in love with someone else and I want Ophelia to move on.” Zachariah took it all in. “We had a marriage contract and I don’t want to play the contract game anymore.”

Everyone looked at him at once.

Zachariah laid out what he had prepared on the table and said calmly, “This is the marriage contract. It explicitly specified that I can claim 100 million dollars if she puts forward the divorce; she will get abundant marital property if I ask for a divorce. Besides, she will get the custody of our child if any. It is lawful.”

Mrs. Chambers snatched the contract and read it with a dull pain in her chest.

“Zachariah, you’re going to piss me off, aren’t you?” Mrs. Chambers slammed it down on the table.

Ophelia stared at Zachariah blankly. She remembered that she seemed to sign an indenture to sell herself because all the terms were so harsh on her then. And there had been no term for custody. Why did Zachariah say there was such a term?

She opened her mouth and was trying to ask Zachariah but a shrill cry interrupted her.

“Mom, are you OK?” Savannah shouted.

Ophelia looked over and saw Mrs. Chambers gasping for air and clutching her chest. Mr. Chambers picked her up and said sharply, “Call the doctor.”

Mrs. Chambers grabbed Mr. Chambers hurriedly by the sleeve.

“Don’t let Tommy go,” she said difficultly.

With a clouded face, Mr. Chambers said to her gently, “Don’t worry, Tommy is the oldest grandson of the Chambers family. No one can take him away.”

Mr. Chambers carried Mrs. Chambers upstairs.

A group of doctors rushed in and examined Mrs. Chambers. They said that she had an acute heart disease caused by anger and needed a good rest. After the doctor left some medicines and left, Mr. Chambers came up to Zachariah, raised his hand and slapped him so hard that Zachariah got a sharp palm print on his face.

“Bastard! Don’t you expect to get the chance to be the heir to the Chambers family if something happens to your mother. No way”

Ophelia looked at Zachariah. She had not expected that the divorce would cause such an uproar. She would never forgive herself if anything happened to Mrs. Chambers.

Savannah glared at Ophelia and roared, “Ophelia, are you satisfied? You jinx. You’re screwing up the Chambers family. Go to hell. Bitch.”

“Savannah, enough.” Zachariah said sharply.

“Zachariah, how could you show such partiality to her like that. Look what happened to mom!”

“I said enough.”

“Zachariah...”

“Both of you, shut up.” Mr. Chambers retorted.
