were ... busy . " Her voice was devoid of warmth . Terence hesitated for a fraction of a second too long . " Mom , T ... I already talked to her . She knows she was wrong . She's just young and reckless , she doesn't think things through . She didn't mean any harm . I'll apologize to you on her behalf . Please , don't hold it against her . " Katherine looked away , a profound disappointment in her eyes . It was as if she was seeing her son for the stranger he had beco- me . When she spoke again, her voice was glacial . " If you won't handle it , then I will . " Just then , a commotion erupted at the door . " What are you doing ? Let go of me ! My husband is Terence McMurray ! " Two of Katherine's personal bodyguards dragged Rose into the room . " We found this woman snooping around outside the door , ma am . She was acting suspiciously . " Chapter 2 12.38 Rose immediately ran to Terence , looking terrified . " Jules , I just wanted to come see your mother and apologize . " " Didn't you hear her ? " Terence snapped at the guards . " Let her go ." The guards looked at Katherine . She gave a subtle nod , a silent order passing between them . They released Rose , who immediate- ly latched onto Terence's arm . " Jules , that was so scary , " she whimpered , before turning to Katherine with a flippant smile . " Sorry about yesterday , auntie . I didn't know you were Terence's mom . " Katherine didn't even glance at her . " You don't need to apologize to me . The police will handle holding you accountable . " Terence's head snapped up . " Mom , what are you talking about ? " He whirled on me . " Amelia , did you say something to her ? I told you , you're the only one for me , you will always be my wife ! Why are you still going after Rose ? " I ignored him and held out a piece of paper . A divorce agreement . My signature was already on it . " Go after her ? " I asked with a humorless laugh . " She means nothing to me . Sign this , Terence . I'm divorcing you . " A vein pulsed in his forehead . " Amelia , are you really going to make a scene ? I'm warning you , if I sign this , there's no going back ! " " Oh , I'm counting on it , " I said , my voice dripping with scorn . " Sign it . The sight of you makes me sick . " He had never been so thoroughly humiliated . He pointed a trembling finger at me . " Fine , " he seethed . " Fine ! You want a divorce ? You've got it ! But no one will ever want to partner with the Davenport family like the McMurrays do . You'll come crawling back to \ me , Amelia . You'll regret this . " I took the signed agreement , a wave of relief washing over me . I was finally free from the mire .
