Old Master Westbrook personally approached Young Master Lyle's Mother and helped plead on her behalf, even promising that he would not allow the Young Master to lay a finger on any of the Westbrooks' assets.
Generally, under such circumstances, most people would just accept the situation and let it go.
However, Young Master Lyle's Mother acted very differently from the average person. Not only did she refuse to let things slide, but she also announced on the spot that she wanted a divorce.
To ordinary people, a husband cheating and a wife filing for divorce is quite normal. But at that time, for a woman of such distinguished birth who had rebelliously broken with her family to marry the man she loved, and then to experience her husband's infidelity, divorce was definitely a self-destructive act, like injuring the enemy by a thousand and hurting oneself by eight hundred.
It was not just audacious, but also inconceivable.
