Sally grabbed Edward’s wrist and walled, “What more do you want from me, Edward? Do I have to beg you on my knees to get you to leave her right now? Do it, or I disown you!”
The women were still trying to pry any information they could. Even those who seemed to comfort her were secretly hoping for more clues.
Edward still looked like he was debating with himself.
I shook my phone and warned, “I’m calling 911 unless you operate!”
I pressed 9 on my phone.
Sally fell to her knees in front of Edward so suddenly that even I jumped.
The women lived for moments like these.
“Mr. Kennedy, how low can you go? What kind of son makes his mother beg him?!”
“What did Taylor do to make you hate her so much, Mrs. Kennedy? Why do you insist on their divorce?!”
“I seriously don’t get the Kennedys. Are you folks, I don’t know, maybe a little blind? A daughter–in–law like Taylor is the biggest blessing my son could ever get!”
“I know, right? You folks should hav-
Edward erupted in rage. “Shut the fuck up!”
The women were more than just noisy–the things they said were like salt in his wounds. No surprise Edward would go ballistic. 1
The women fell silent, but that didn’t stop them from exchanging meaningful glances with each other.
I didn’t expect my support group to strike such a critical blow to Edward despite being barred from becoming witnesses.
Suddenly, making these women my lifetime VIPS didn’t seem like a waste after all!
Edward crouched down and helped his mother to her feet. “I’m going to divorce her, Mom, so don’t do this. Edith will be alright.”
Sally met his gaze with her own, red and puffy.
“Please, Ed. There are plenty of fish in the sea for someone as exceptional as you,” she croaked. “We can start looking by tomorrow if you want to!”
I almost burst out laughing. The women were gasping too.
“No offense, but did you get a good look at your son? Everyone knows how terrible he’s been as a partner! Who wants to date a guy like that?!” one of them shouted.
“Shut up! What does it have to do with any of you broads?! Who asked any of you bored housewives for your shitty opinions?!” Sally bellowed.
There was no way these women would take that kind of abuse lying down. They immediately launched into a war of words.
Luckily, the police working around the court appeared and took them away.

Meanwhile, Edward and I returned inside.
“Sir, there’s no hope between Taylor and me. Our relationship is irreparable. I agree to end this,” he declared. Ash was shocked. “What did you tell him to make him change his mind?”
I smiled faintly. “That’s a secret.”
He smiled back. “No offense, but this is gonna be the easies bank I’ve ever made.”
The judge was just as dumbfounded by Edward’s change of cart. “Are you sure about this, Mr. Kennedy?”
“Yes. I agree to end this,” he repeated, turning to look at m
I met his gaze calmly and then turned to the judge.
After a brief discussion with others, the judge proclaimed, It is the opinion of the court that the civil partnership. between the plaintiff, Taylor Jones, and the defendant, Edward Kennedy, is irreparably damaged and shall therefore be annulled.”
