“I’ll handle it, then. You guys can go and do other work.”Mona did not bicker with them. She pretended not to know anything and focused on brewing the medicine.One of the maids came over and asked her, “Madam, what is this medicine for?”“To calm the mind.”“Oh, I see. We’ll get back to work now.”“Mm.”The maids exchanged glances, gave each other a look, and ran away.Once Mona finished brewing the medicine, she went to the woman’s room with a bowl.The woman was still sitting on the bed, hunched over with her head lowered. Her hands had not stopped folding paper stars.Mona walked over and put down the medicine bowl. She took the stack of paper from the woman’s hand and folded the unfinished stars.“Drink the medicine first, and I’ll help you to fold them. Are you trying to fill this bottle with paper stars?”The woman raised her head. Her gloomy face turned slightly more radiant at Mona’s words as she felt that Mona understood her.Mona touched her face as if she were
Mona soothed the woman to sleep and came out of the guest room with the medicine bowl.She looked at the two paper stars in her hand. The woman had forced her to take them and told her to keep them as a keepsake.Mona smiled and decided to take them to let her children play with them.For the next few days, Mona stayed at home to care for the children while accompanying the woman. Meanwhile, she also prepared for the divorce.According to Thaddeus, he was going on a business trip for a week and would be back tomorrow. The divorce was now on the agenda.Mona secretly clenched her fists at the thought of the next battle to come....The next day, Sophie came to Fontaine Residence with the studio team and brought a set of the most advanced live-streaming equipment.The staff placed the camera facing the artificial lake in the garden. The picture that appeared on the lens was beautiful. The artificial lake shimmered from the sun, and under the hanging willow was an easel. Mona was
[Our live stream is really quiet. There’s no sound at all.][My brothers, what are we waiting for? Let’s blow up the screen with donations!]The colorful gifts on the screen were endless that even the people watching were confused.There were genuine die-hard fans who praised Mona to the high heavens, but Sophie was more concerned about the number of new fans.The team had not started trying to boost the live stream traffic, but the rise in new fans was exceptional![What’s going on? Why is no one talking?][Is my phone broken?]At first, the new fans who joined were confused and wanted to leave, but they were attracted when they saw Mona’s back and profile.[That woman must be CGI, right? She’s so pretty.][Look at the account name. She’s the heroine of that recent hit TV series.][Oh my god! She’s so beautiful. She’s the Athena of my heart. It’s a shame she’s not in costume.][Shh. Everyone, be quiet. Don’t bother me. I’m trying to watch the beauty paint.]If not for the
Before his assistant told him about the broadcast, he had no idea the woman was so popular. From the time he got off the plane, went to his car, and arrived at the entrance of Fontaine Residence, her fans had increased by tens of thousands.Thaddeus maintained an expressionless face and watched the live stream with a wait-and-see attitude. It was only when Mona stood up and stretched, did the man’s eyes instantly turn gloomy and harsh.Without even thinking, he gave an order. “Cut off the power and signal at the Fontaine residential area.”His assistant hurriedly did as he was told and called the Fontaine Residence butler, immediately cutting off the signal and power in the area.It took only three minutes from when Thaddeus gave the order to the sudden interruption of the live stream.“Sophie, the live stream was cut off!” The staff working in front of the equipment was the first to notice the problem. He turned around to look at Sophie, somewhat panicked.Another staff speciali
Mona was helpless and jumped down, falling into Thaddeus’ hands. The man firmly embraced her as if he were disciplining a child.“Why is an adult like you climbing trees?”Mona bit her lip and retorted, “I was trying to save a cat.”Thaddeus snorted coldly and looked down at the woman in his arms. When he thought of how she twisted her waist and stretched her back during the live stream, he stared at her red lips and felt his throat become dry and thirsty.The man’s gaze made Mona feel very uncomfortable. She twisted her body and struggled to jump down from his arms.Thaddeus’s expression was cold, but his deep eyes tinged with a teasing smile.It had only been a few days without her, but this woman was suddenly interesting to him. She usually bared her teeth and claws at him, but now she was acting shy.Mona saw the crooked smile on the man’s face and flushed in anger. She stepped on his foot fiercely and yelled, “You hoodlum!”After scolding him, she turned and ran toward the
Thaddeus narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Mona. To be honest, he could not understand what she was thinking.“What if I refuse?”“Then we won’t get divorced.”Mona looked like she did not desire or fear anything.She was fine with letting it be. In any case, she was not the one anxious to get a divorce.Thaddeus raised the wine glass. His desire to conquer was suddenly ignited by Mona. He really wanted to press the woman on the bed...After all, he was a man with needs that needed to be fulfilled.“Don’t act coy. Are you just playing hard to get because you don’t want a divorce?”“Haha. You can think however you want, Mr. Fontaine. I told you. Either we get divorced, and the custody of the kids belongs to me, or we don’t. You can only pick one.”Mona had learned from Thaddeus’ usual overbearing tone and appearance. She was even able to understand his arrogant gaze and aura.“Woman.” Thaddeus walked up to Mona. His powerful aura oppressed her as he lifted her chin, for
Mona straightened her clothes messed up by the man before looking sideways at Thaddeus’ restrained face.Men were lustful creatures, but his forbearance was quite strong.Since olden times, men could rarely escape their lust. In the end, it was the women who suffered. If men could suppress their instincts, they would be invincible.“Why don’t I call some ladies for you, Mr. Fontaine?”Mona took out her phone and searched online for several luxurious and high-end clubs. Sexy and coquettish women of all kinds popped up on the page.She lifted her eyes and looked at the man’s slightly surprised face, smiling, “My treat.”Thaddeus’ expression was so dark that it was shrouded in a gloomy haze. He looked like someone owed him a billion dollars.“Oh, since you’re not interested, forget it.” Mona saw his face and retreated. “I won’t disturb your rest. Good night.”Then, she turned and left to rest in a guest room for the night.“Where are you going?” Thaddeus was furious. The urge in
Mona’s heart filled with anger. She glared at Thaddeus with cold eyes and said firmly, word for word, “Thaddeus Fontaine, it’s fine if I can’t get your pity, love, or even my status as your wife. However, I want your respect!”Thaddeus paused and looked at Mona meaningfully. Even his expression became incredulous.Mona did not know why, but a sour feeling entered her nose. She pushed the man’s shoulder, and Thaddeus stumbled back before standing firm.As he looked at the woman, the dismay in his gaze disappeared and returned to calmness.“You don’t need to sleep in the guest room. I’ll spend the night elsewhere.”He picked up his suit jacket from the bed, slung it over his shoulder, and slammed the door.Mona’s shoulders trembled at the sound of the door closing. It was only until she heard the sound of the car’s engine downstairs that she leaned against the wall. Her body slid down as she sat on the floor.It was as if she had won a hard-earned victory. She was exhausted, but h
