186: Chapter 186

Chapter 186

Mary felt like her world had begun to crumble right now. She didn't want to believe all this because her son told her a different story.0

Kate was supposed to be this useless and barren woman that got lucky because she married a perfect man like her son. She should be grateful that Matt hadn't divorced her yet, because he definitely deserved someone better. 

"Y—You liar! How could you slander your own husband like that?! Don't you see that he is too good for you? You ungrateful wench!" 

At this point, Mary was also unsure of herself.

She wanted to keep thinking that Matt was the family's breadwinner and that Kate was just a leech.

But the confidence in Kate's voice actually began to shake Mary's belief about her son. 

"Hm? Still don't believe me? Well, how about I mention every single transfer that he made to you. It's not hard for me," Kate said. She opened her mobile banking app and then mentioned the recent transfer. "Four thousand dollars in May, five thousand in June, six thousand in July, four thousand in August."

Mary's head spun as she realized that Kate might have said the truth up until now. 

But she still didn't want to believe it because her son was destined for greatness. There was no way her successful son would leech on a woman like Kate!

"Oh, he didn't send you money at all last month, and definitely won't send another this month and in the future. Do you know why?"

"It's because of a failed investment, and because you can't save his money!" Mary continued yelling.

"Oh really?" Kate chuckled. "I think it's because I've blocked his card completely, that's why he can't send you money anymore. Heck, I doubt he can even afford his own groceries, let alone sending money."

It had been a while since Kate blocked his credit card. She thought Matt would come crawling and beg for money since she doubted that man could fend for himself.

But he hadn't come knocking on her door, which Kate suspected that Matt must've been selling all the stuff in their old apartment to continue living. 

Though Kate didn't mind, it would be better if he sold everything before he left because she also planned to empty that apartment and fill it with new furniture that didn't smell like burnt bacon and failure. 

'Luckily, the apartment is under my name. I'm so glad I didn't get tricked into putting his name back then, because I am the one who fully purchased that apartment anyway,' Kate thought. 

There had been a few arguments with Matt in the past because Kate kept purchasing properties using her name instead of his, and he even went as far as giving Kate the silent treatment for a while because she refused to put Matt's name on the legal certificate. 

Mary felt that her view of her son had been shattered. She always saw him as a good and successful man that could do no wrong, but with how confident Kate was and how she had all of the proof of the bank transfer record, Mary began to think that maybe she had been fooled this whole time.

But how could Kate—a woman from their small town—land a job that could give her enough money to buy so many luxurious things? Surely she wasn't an actress with her basic look. 

"You know, Mary, I've been dying to tell you about all this," Kate said. "I have always been the breadwinner of the family, and the only reason why I never say anything against Matt's slander was because I want to protect my husband's dignity in front of his own mother."

"But not anymore, because we're in the process of divorce," Kate said coldly without hesitation. She was done with this shitty family who always tried to hurl insults at her while still treating her as a cash cow. 

"DIVORCE?!"

"Hey—hey, don't be so surprised, Mary. Do you really think that I stay by his side when he does NOTHING all the time?" Kate said. "For the past five years, he refused to find a job and relied on me to buy everything he wanted. I've been enduring it until I saw him with my sister on the couch."

Mary almost got a heart attack after hearing the last sentence. She never expected that the religious son she thought was too good for Kate actually dared to cheat. 

"What's with the silence, Mary? Are you surprised that your oh-so-perfect son is actually a useless man who lies to you and even went as far as cheating on his wife with his own sister-in-law?" Kate taunted. "Awww, are you having a mini heart attack because the reality is just too much for you? Well, that's what my mom felt when your son and my sister used Hilda's weak heart to blackmail me into giving all of my money."

There was no more answer from the other side of the call, and Kate knew that Mary must have a mental breakdown right now. She had always believed that her son could do no wrong, so this was a huge punch in the face. 

Kate was enjoying the silence. She had always dreamed of this moment when she could finally be the one to have the last words. 

They were in this silence for a while. Kate allowed Mary to process everything because she knew her mother-in-law must be in too much shock.

"Well, since you already know everything, then I will let you think about all the lies that Matt had spouted all this time, maybe he finally has the balls to admit—"

Ding—Dong!

Kate paused for a moment. She got up from the chair and walked towards the door. She checked using the CCTV camera and saw none other than her soon-to-be ex-husband standing at the door.

He looked nervous, and it seemed he came here in a hurry, probably because he knew his mother must be calling Kate right now.

Kate grinned as she had an amazing idea, "Well, Mary, since your son is here, why don't we let him confess his lies."
