Chapter 223:
Observing this, Jenessa’s mind wandered, lost in memories of the past.
She remembered the joy that had filled her heart three years ago when she and Ryan registered their marriage.
Unfortunately, that happiness was born from her own wishful thinking.
Despite her deep love for Ryan and her relentless efforts to be the perfect wife over the past three years, she couldn’t eclipse Maisie in his heart.
Soon, it was Jenessa’s turn, but Ryan was still absent.
“Where is your husband?” asked a clerk.
“The divorce procedure requires both parties to be present p>
Feeling a twinge of embarrassment, Jenessa replied, “I’ll call him right now p>
She stepped aside, about to dial Ryan’s number.
Just then, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Jenessa’s expression shifted dramatically.
It was her mother who made the call.
Jenessa saw the caller ID read “Mom” and hesitated before answering.
Before she could speak, her mother, Delores Wright, said through tears, “Jenessa, something happened at home. Please come back right away p>
Her heart racing, Jenessa asked, “Mom, what happened p>
Delores replied with a shaky voice, “It’s not something we should discuss over the phone. You need to come home as soon as you can p>

Then, she hung up abruptly.
Feeling a sinking sensation, Jenessa grew more anxious.
Her parents had barely been in touch since she married Ryan, almost as if they had erased her from their memories.
Now, the news of trouble at her parents’ home filled her with dread.
Caught in the urgency, she forgot all about her plans to finalize the divorce with Ryan and rushed to her parents’ house.
But when she arrived, she found everything seemed normal. Her parents were just sitting in the living room.
Something was off. If there had been a real emergency, her parents wouldn’t be sitting there so calmly.
With a stern expression, Jenessa approached Delores and demanded, “Mom, what’s really going on p>
Delores avoided eye contact, too timid to meet Jenessa’s gaze. She murmured, “Jenessa, it’s been ages since you’ve been home. We rarely get this chance to be together. Please take a seat. We can catch up p>
Jenessa quickly realized that the situation wasn’t as dire as she had been led to believe. Her mother had deceived her over the phone.
Her voice turned frosty.
“So, there’s really nothing serious happening at home? Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave p>
As Jenessa moved towards the door, her father, Samuel Wright, witnessed her chilly departure, and anger surged within him. He stood abruptly, his voice booming with frustration.
“Jenessa, stop right there! Is this how you behave towards your parents? You seldom visit, and now you’re rushing off? It seems all our efforts in raising you were in vain p>
