Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 576 Spoiled Brat

I was at a loss as I looked at Kimberly, mainly because I had never dealt with someone like her. I initially thought Trinity would match Kimberly's description. However, I realized Trinity was much more

sophisticated than what I had imagined after the real showdown.

The woman before me was an actual troublemaker. She noticed me lost in my thoughts and tapped her spoon on my plate, saying, "I'm talking about you! Stop looking so indifferent!" "Kim!" Martin reprimanded her.

Kimberly rolled her eyes and pursed her lips before continuing to eat.

Jake intervened, "The dishes are finally here, Ms. Chloe. Please, have some."

Martin put aside his act and said, "Ms. Chloe, let's talk while we eat."

I glanced at Kimberly, and no longer had an appetite. It felt like I would be eating someone else's leftovers. I calmly said, "I'm sorry, everyone, but I don't have much of an appetite. Please proceed with eating."

My words offended Kimberly. She stared at me and asked, "What do you mean by that? Is it because you think we're not qualified to eat with you? How dare you say you don't have an appetite?"

I chuckled while observing her expression. Although pretty, she unfortunately looked insolent.

Kimberly could no longer stand me. "What are you laughing at?”

I smiled and said, "Ms. Kimberly, your brother invited me here. Speaking that way isn't how you treat guests. You can be playful and willful at home but not outside. As someone older than you, I sincerely advise you to mind your manners."

She seemed stunned, perhaps because no one had ever dared to reprimand her in front of her family.

However, Jake was quick to react, saying, "Kim, I hope you've learned your lesson. Ms. Chloe is a prominent figure in Foswood, so you should learn from her."

Kimberly glared at him. "What could I possibly learn from her? Foswood is nothing! If she's as capable as you say, why'd she come to Bourdamun? She might be impressive, but she still has to come here for projects, correct? Has she blinded you all with her pretty little face?"

Her remark made me want to slap her.

Martin looked at me with a hint of gentleness. "Ignore her, Ms. Chloe. That's just how she is." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I smiled. "No problem, Mr. Martin. How about I consider what you've said and discuss it with my team leader? Business is business, and some things aren't solely up to me. We can discuss it again next time." I motioned to leave, but Jake held me down. "Ms. Chloe, you can't leave halfway through the discussion."

Jake noticed me frowning at his

hand on my shoulder, so he

withdrew it and glanced at Martin. The former laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Chloe. You can propose your conditions now Since we're cooperating, both sides should be satisfied with the terms."

"What are you saying, Uncle Jake? You're embarrassing our family by letting her propose her terms!" Kimberly forked a piece of meat and added, "Martin, are you interested in her?

"I've never seen you back down like this before. This woman can't change our family's principles, no matter how beautiful she is. Who does she think she is?" Kimberly's arrogance amazed me.

Meanwhile, Martin looked at me with

a pleased expression. It seemed he liked what he had heard. He warned his sister "That's enough nonsense, Kim. Eat your food, and stop interfering with our business

Otherwise, I'll tell Chad to send you

home."

I almost burst into laughter at her nonsensical talk.

"When did our family start yielding to women? Who gave her the right to talk?" Kimberly's voice was sharp and irritating. She resembled a clucking chicken. Suddenly, someone opened the door and said, "I did!"
