She'd always looked down on me like I was just a weed in her garden.
What she didn't realize was that selling my company was what helped her daughter rise to where she is.
But explaining all that now would just be a waste of time.
I handed over Ollie carefully, but she kept on rambling.
"At least my grandson takes after my daughter. He's so handsome; he'll do something big one day. Unlike you, relying on a woman for a roof over your head."
Her words sliced through me, twisting my gut.
I couldn't help but say, "I'm about to divorce her, so save the insults."
She was shocked, staring at me like she couldn't believe the son-in-law she used to push around was finally standing up for himself.
With a raised eyebrow, she sneered. "Ha! A mooch like you talking about divorce?"
"Then hurry up and do it!" she continued. "Stop holding my daughter back from finding a real man."
With a slam that echoed down the hallway, she stormed off, taking Ollie with her.
I clenched my fists, forcing myself to stay calm.
But I couldn't wait any longer; I pulled out my phone, ready to text Ophelia about meeting at the Clerk of Court's Office tomorrow to finalize the divorce.q
