Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind Chapter 358 Getting On Her Bad Side
Taken aback, Carlos moved to embrace the rushing figure of Nina. However, Nina was quick to dodge him, immediately twisting open the door and darting inside.
Meanwhile, the sound from within reached their cars.
âSarah, this is my final request,â Benett said weakly. âMy parents arenât the sharpest tools in the shed, they donât understand the complexities of the situation. Only by doing this can they be reassured, and I can leave this world with peace of mind. After all, everything will eventually belong to our Nina. Consider this my last act of willfulness. Get a lawyer, I donât have much time left.
Surely, you donât want me to die discontented, do you?â
âButâ¦tâthis doesnât make any sense!â Sarah choked out in agony.
âIâ¦â Cough, cough, cough⦠âPlease, just agree to it, consider it as me begging you!â Cough, cough, coughâ¦
âDonât do this⦠All right, all right, I agree. I will call the lawyer right now.â Sarahâs crying abruptly stopped as Nina embraced her. âMom, donât!â
The trio were elated that they had finally managed to persuade Sarah when Nina butted in. They were instantly taken aback and furious. At such a critical moment, the last thing they needed was a sudden setback.
âNina?â Sarah was feeling upset.
After all, her husband was on his deathbed, and he wanted a divorce just before his impending demise. It was a situation most people would find unbearable. She could only assume that his impending death had filled him with fear and confusion. Perhaps, in his misguided devotion, he had been swayed by his parentsâ persuasive words, wanting to provide them with some sense of stability. That was the only explanation for such an irrational act.
Although Sarah was certain that she would never stoop to seizing her husbandâs inheritance, her inâlaws remained unconvinced. Their continued fussing was nothing short of tormenting her husband in his final hours.
âWhatever,â she thought, âitâs all a mere formality in the end. If they insist on doing this, I donât really care. To us, we are still husband and wife. This soâcalled divorce is nothing more than a legal assurance for their assets.â
Faced with her husband of over a decade on the verge of death, even a strongâwilled woman like Sarah couldnât question his final request.
However, seeing her daughterâs reaction, Sarah assumed that Nina had accidentally overheard their talk of divorce and had misunderstood. She quickly comforted, âNina, donât cry. Your dad and I arenât really getting a divorce. Weâre still your parents who love you the most.â
Benett also huffed, âNina, donât be stubborn. Your mom and I have discussed this. Donât waste any more time.â
However, Nina was shaking uncontrollably. She was practically speechless, words teetering on the edge of her lips, yet she found herself unable to utter them due to her overwhelming emotions. She turned to look at the frail man on the hospital bed. Despite his struggle to even speak, he was still painstakingly using his last moments to manipulate her and her mother, paving the way for his mistress and their illegitimate children

Nina, being part of an affluent family, naturally witnessed more of such a scenario than her peers of the same age.
Moreover, those people had clearly outlined the pros and cons during their conversation. Even though she didnât fully comprehend, she understood that if she allowed her parents to divorce, it would be equivalent to her and her mother being ruthlessly bullied by bad people.
âI donât agree, Dad. Are you really divorcing Mom? And youâre asking her to leave without anything?â Ninaâs eyes were blurred with tears as she looked at Benett.
When Benett met Ninaâs gaze, he unexpectedly felt a moment of unease.
However, when he thought about it, at least Nina had Sarah as a mother. But what about his other kids? It was essential to pave the way for them.
âDad! You really plan on leaving everything to someone else!â Nina exclaimed.
People who did wrong were naturally more sensitive, so Benettâs parents were instantly provoked.
âYour father is on his deathbed, what do you have in mind for us, your old folks? Since when were we strangers? How can you be so coldâhearted at such a young age! Are you afraid that someone will take your money? Do you still have your father and us in your heart?â
Upon reaching the door, Isabella, having heard what transpired, was cursing them inwardly.
Isnât it you two old fogies who are terrified of someone stealing your money? Itâs your family of three who doesnât care about Nina, right? You beasts! How can you be so heartless?
The rest of the Quirk family were at the door when they heard Isabellaâs curses. They were all stunned, after all, it was rare for Isabella to be this fierce.
What on earth has the three members of the Eaton family done to upset Isabella? It seems like theyâve really gotten on her bad side. They recalled Isabella mentioning something about Benett having an affair and illegitimate children in the past. Could this incident be related?
