He Wants Two Wives She Wants a Divorce novel Chapter 12

Noticing that the situation was escalating, Thomas called Leon.

"We had you name a price out of respect for the fact that you gave birth to Edwin. Since you don't appreciate the offer, there's no need for further discussion." Samuel's gaze that was directed at Victoria was sharp and exuded immense pressure.

Victoria calmly responded by saying, "You're right. There's no need for a discussion because this isn't something you have the authority to decide."

"What did you just say!" Samuel's expression turned cold at her words.

She continued, "We've submitted the divorce application. Once the certificate is issued, I'll have full custody of Edwin. And I'll call the police if you try to take him by force."

Victoria's body was tense as she made that statement. There was no turning back now; she had to face them head-on.

Samuel and Eleanor's expressions turn grim instantly.

They'd considered this probability and rushed over after hearing the news. It'd be tough to change anything once the divorce was finalized.

"How could you be so selfish to have him suffer with you? Have you ever considered that he's still a child?" Eleanor lashed out.

"Having custody doesn't mean his father is dead. I never said Leon can't support him financially." Victoria saw through their selfishness and attempts to guilt-trip her.

"At the end of the day, you're just using Edwin to get money out of Leon. You're scheming, manipulative, and completely unfit to be Edwin's mother," Eleanor spat venomously.

"No matter how unfit I am, I'm better than a cheater like Leon." Victoria shot back without hesitation and didn't bother to explain further.

"So what if he cheated? That's common in our circle," Samuel retorted.

"And that's exactly why I need to take Edwin away from you people. Even if he grows up with the best values, being around you all will eventually corrupt him," Victoria said. She resolved that taking Edwin away was the right decision.

"Say that again!" Samuel roared. He couldn't tolerate such defiance from someone he once had so much control over.
