Jessica: grinning Guess what, babe? I'm pregnant! Not yours, though! Live on TV! Crazy, huh?
when did I say you were pregnant
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, come on, look at me! You can't tell me I haven't been dropping hints for months now. Clueless much?
laughs mockingly Cheating? Me? That's rich, babe! You know me better than anyone. You remember how I told you I was getting close to this hot new guy I met at a conference last month? Well, turns out he's quite the charmer, and I guess I got caught up in the moment.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Break up with him? Honey, you know me better than that. I ain't breaking up with him.
glares at seemly Excuse me, but do you seriously think you have the right to dictate what I do?
maybe not but I’m your husband
throws her hands up in exasperation Oh, honey, please! You think this marriage is about love or commitment?
marriage is about love and commitment
scoffs Love and commitment? Please, this marriage was just a strategic move for both of us. You know it, I know it.
i didn’t ask you to go out and cheat on me
leans in closer, voice dripping with venom Look, seemly, I didn't ask for your permission because let's face it, you never had the power in this relationship.
i still have the power to reject the divorce
In the heat of their argument, seemly storms out of the room, leaving Jessica alone and fuming
storms after seemly, knocking on the door furiously Get back here, you coward! You can't just walk out on me and file for divorce! We had a deal, and you're not getting out of it that easily! Open this damn door, you prick!
i have every right to divorce you
slams her fist on the door You may think you have the upper hand, but you don't! I built my empire from the ground up, and you think you can just walk in here and tear it down?! Well, you've got another thing coming, seemly! I won't let you ruin everything I've worked for!
i have a 50 million dollar lawsuit against you
pauses for a moment, stunned A-are you serious?! Are you trying to blackmail me with that lawsuit?
no, i just want you to realize how much you hurt me
narrows her eyes, her voice filled with determination Well, seemly, if you think you can blackmail me or manipulate me with your little lawsuit, you've got another thing coming!
I throw the divorce papers at you sign them and leave my house
catches the divorce papers mid-air with a sneer Is that what you really want, huh? You want me to sign these papers and leave your house? Fine!
you’re not going to regret this
crumples the divorce papers in her hand and throws them onto the ground Regret this? Oh, seemly, you have no idea what regret feels like.
you will after you lose your baby and your career when they find out the truth
sneers, crossing her arms The truth? Oh, seemly, you think you know the truth, but you're in for a rude awakening.
you’ll lose your baby because of stress caused by you cheating on me
laughs derisively Stress caused by me cheating on you? Please, seemly, spare me the melodrama. You think you're the only one under pressure in this sham of a marriage?
you were pregnant but now you lost the baby
glares at seemly, her voice dripping with sarcasm Lost the baby, huh? Well, seems like you were doing a pretty poor job of keeping your promises to support me.
i never promised to support you
snorts sarcastically Oh, of course, you didn't.
you always wanted to be the independent woman, why change that now
Days later, Jessica receives news that her career has been irreparably damaged due to the scandal involving her infidelity and the loss of her baby
