Thaddeus narrowed his eyes and saw a mocking and disdainful look on Mona’s face. He sneered internally. “I remember that you act, but your acting is rather shabby to me. No matter what, if you want to stay in the Fontaines for a long time, you’ll have to learn to hide your emotions. Do you understand?” After saying that, Thaddeus turned around and left. Mona looked at his tall figure from behind. She slightly clenched her fists beside her body and swore to win this fight! Jennifer walked out from the side hall and looked as if she was not involved in anything. When she saw Mona standing there, her expressionless face instantly seemed to be ignited by sparks. “A daughter who was born to a b*tch is a b*stard at the end of the day. No wonder my son wants to divorce you. Hurry up and leave our family!” Mona stood in place, and her hands hung down helplessly. She quietly endured the endless humiliation and scolding from Jennifer. However, the more indifferent she was, the more
When Jennifer heard what Thaddeus said, she curled up her shoulders and came to a sudden realization. ‘That d*mned woman is playing a trick on me!’ “Thaddeus, that woman is acting. She’s deliberately sowing discord between us!” Jennifer chased after Thaddeus with quick strides and grabbed his sleeve. “This woman is fake. Just like her mom, she’s a scourge. A vixen like her mustn’t stay in our family!” Thaddeus looked coldly at Jennifer. “You should know to not go too far.” Following that, he carried Mona upstairs and instructed Maria in a panicky tone, “Call the family doctor over now.” Jennifer was neglected on the side and completely left out. She was mad about this and was about to die of anger because her son even spoke up for that little vixen! She stroked her chest repeatedly because she was so enraged that she could not breathe well. She let a maid help her to the living room and bring her medicine. As soon as she swallowed the medicine, the housekeeper walked in a
Jennifer hummed and did not say anything more. Eleanor asked, “Why don’t I see Mona? She and Thaddeus have just remarried, so they should be clinging to each other. They got divorced and ended up together again, which shows that they’re destined to be together.” She covered her mouth and smiled. She sounded glad and happy, but Jennifer’s heart stung when she heard that. Jennifer hid her displeasure but had no words for Eleanor. Eleanor knew that her mother and Mona did not get along well. Just a while ago, Thaddeus had also pulled a long face at her because of that b*tch. Now, Eleanor was saying such hurtful words to her. It was a sensitive subject! “They’re alright. Thaddeus took her in for the sake of the two children. Their relationship is superficial like a mirage without a foundation, so it’s rather fragile, unlike the relationship between Victor and his wife. I heard that Victor stayed by Isabel’s side for a month in the hospital when she had a miscarriage. They’re the on
In the room, Thaddeus leaned over and hugged Mona. From Eleanor and Jennifer’s angle outside the door, it looked like they were kissing. Eleanor was disappointed, so she turned around to walk away. When Jennifer looked at the two people embracing and kissing in the room, she secretly praised her son for being witty. As expected of her son for avoiding doubts using misdirection. Otherwise, if word about her hitting her daughter-in-law at home spread, things would become difficult for her. “Eleanor, my son is truly a good-for-nothing. After being enchanted by a woman, his mind isn’t clear anymore…” Jennifer feigned helplessness. She shook her head and chased after Eleanor to complain to her. Eleanor could hear the joy in Jennifer’s tone, so she said nothing. She smiled fakely and found an excuse to leave after that. She initially thought she could gain something from her visit, but she left empty-handed and witnessed a public display of affection instead. After watching Elean
One should not think that Thaddeus did not see through Mona’s little trick. It was just a bitter trick by her to sow discord between him and his mother. Thaddeus was in a good mood, so he beat Mona to her game by playing along and even reprimanding his mother. Mona had been feeling resentful about what happened to Bobby, after all, thus he took this as a way to let her vent her anger. Mona turned around with a slightly delighted glimmer in her eyes. Did Thaddeus think that her trick was only meant to sow discord between him and his mother? If that was the case, Thaddeus had truly underestimated her abilities. Nevertheless, this also meant that her acting was so excellent that it escaped his detection. Thaddeus saw her turning her perky and reddish small face to the side and thought that perhaps she was shy. When he thought about the scene earlier, he did not even realize that his lips had curled up into a smile. His face instantly turned stony when he realized that he was still p
Mona watched Millie cry. Millie’s sobs were like a knife stabbing her heart, hurting her so much that her eyes became teary too. Millie lifted her small face and wiped her eyes with her little hand. She said sweetly, “Mommy, Daddy didn’t carry me today, but I behaved well and didn’t throw a tantrum.” The child was so understanding that it was heart-wrenching. Mona found it difficult to bear, so she held Millie’s face and lowered her head to kiss her daughter’s red face. “Good girl. You’ve grown up, Millie. I love you so, so much.” Millie buried herself in Mona’s arms. She felt the warmest and happiest in her mother’s embrace. Mona softly patted Millie’s back with her hand gently, but her heart still ached for the little girl. Thaddeus had no feelings for the two children at the moment, so there was no point in hoping that he would take up his responsibility as a father. It would not be beneficial at all if he won custody of the children. Outside the door, Thaddeus stood in pl
Jennifer had heard of the scandal between Tim and Mona as it was trending news before this. ‘A vixen is a vixen, after all. She seduces people wherever she goes, just like her d*mned mother.’ “Who are you?” Thaddeus looked coldly at Tim and sized him up. Tim was a stranger to him as he had never seen him before. “Son, are you alright?” Jennifer went up to Thaddeus’ side and reminded him softly, “This is Tim, the heir of Graves & Co.” “Graves & Co? The ones who run a hotel?” “Yes.” Jennifer looked at Thaddeus and felt somewhat worried. Her son seemed to have forgotten many people and things, and his memory was also muddled. “Uncle Dave brought him along during our family’s anniversary party.” Thaddeus nodded and asked again, “What’s his relationship with Mona?” Jennifer hit his back and sounded panicky as she answered, “Silly, he came to tell you that he wants to marry your wife, yet you’re asking what their relationship is!” Thaddeus scoffed and looked disdainfully at Tim
Mona walked downstairs quickly and stood on Tim’s side. She tugged at his sleeve and looked up to ask, “Why are you here?” “I heard about what happened at the cemetery and was worried about Bobby, so I came to take a look and brought some children’s medicine along.” “He has a slight fever and is still sleeping. Thanks for your concern and for delivering the medicine over.” Mona was truly moved. Tim was an affectionate and responsible man who was also a good friend worthy of a close friendship. Thaddeus watched the interaction between Mona and Tim in front of him. There was an unusual change to his calmness and indifference. He could not describe the discomfort, but it was definitely not jealousy. His second personality was probably not completely exterminated and was eager to surface. Nonetheless, Mona was still the missus of the Fontaines. Since she was being intimate with another man in front of Thaddeus, she was simply disregarding him as her husband. The consequence
