“I want a divorce.”“Wh-What?” Leila was taken aback, looking at him in disbelief.Stephen shook the doctor’s hand off his arm and glared at her. “A woman who’s full of lies isn’t worthy of being my wife, let alone stepping into the Vanderbilt manor.”Saying that, Stephen left the ward without looking back.“Dear, dear!” Leila got off the bed but quickly collapsed on the floor because her legs were still weak.No matter how she cried, she could not make Stephen turn around and come back. She could only sit on the floor and weep bitterly.Upon seeing this, the doctor felt somewhat sympathetic to her experience. “Please get up first, madam.”The doctor helped her onto the bed, and Leila suddenly grabbed his arm. “Doctor, how did I get sent here?”“Someone said that you were assaulted and unconscious, so you were sent here to the hospital. However, that person left very soon and only asked us to notify your husband.”Leila trembled as she was vaguely aware of something.‘Someone
Leila did not want to go back to her previous life. She would have nothing left if she were to leave the Vanderbilts.‘I just need to keep this b*tch under control for now. As long as she’s willing to forgive me, I’ll surely wipe her off the grid in the future.’“Heh, begging me would do you no good. You should do whatever you need to do as soon as possible.” Maisie straightened her posture. “Back then, you were responsible for driving me out of the Vanderbilt manor. It’s now your time to leave the house.”She did not even want to look at Leila again, so she left the ward while Quincy let Leila go and caught up to her.Leila sat stiffly on the spot, her expression gradually turning gloomy.…Quincy returned to the Blackgold administrative office and honestly reported everything that had taken place at the hospital.‘Mr. Goldmann asked me to act as Ms. Vanderbilt’s lackey for half a day. What else can I do apart from this?’Nolan propped his hand against his chin and put down th
It seemed like Linda was being forced to do everything while she was working here.Maisie did not want to bring it up before this as she thought Linda could not work here for long. However, Linda had actually been able to stubbornly stay here for so long, so it was a coincidence that she had run into an excuse to ask her to leave today.Seeing that Maisie was very determined to fire her, Linda looked at Nolan. “Nolan, Maisie—”“This is not something that’s under his control. It’s useless for you to call anyone now.” Maisie’s face dimmed. She was the only person in this world who had the guts to be upright and not care about Mr. Goldmann’s reputation and status.Nolan smiled. “Yes, this department isn’t under my authority. Zee has the final say here.”Everyone finally realized what it meant to be a man that stayed behind his wife.Linda bit her lip, turned around, and left aggrievedly.Maisie turned around, handed the information to the staff at the reception counter, and went ba
“Nonsense! How would my son scold someone? And are you telling me that it’s reasonable to beat my son now?” the woman said so while looking at the teacher. “Where’s the principal? Get the principal here and give us an explanation about this incident. Do the Linwoods look like some random pushover to you?”The teacher felt very helpless while she was overlooking the situation. She then glanced at Colton. “Colton, no matter what, you’ve hit your classmate, and that’s not the right thing to do. You have to apologize to him.”“Why should I apologize first? He called me a b*stard who doesn’t have a father. Shouldn’t he apologize to me too?” Colton asked while tilting his head.Ryleigh took a deep breath after listening to this. “Isn’t your son a rude little boy? Who is he calling a b*stard who doesn’t have a father?”‘Holy sh*t, thank God I’m the one who’s been summoned here.‘If Zee were to be the one who’s standing here, wouldn’t she have slapped the kid? And if she were to come here
Louis dragged her aside. “Is this still not embarrassing enough for you?”When the woman saw his appearance, her arrogance was instantly halved. “Mr. Lucas, you’re finally here! You have to be the judge of this matter for me. We’ll put the fact that this boy has beaten my son aside first. This woman just slapped me a few minutes ago!”“Mrs. Linwood, your son should apologize first for his impertinent remark.”Mrs. Linwood was dumbfounded. “My son... Since when did my son speak rudely? It was my son who got beaten. Besides, it was this woman who made a move on me first.”“If you want to get to the bottom of the matter between these children, you can pay the surveillance room a visit and check the footage out. As for the matter between you and this lady...” Louis gave Ryleigh, who was tidying her clothes at the moment, a sideways glance.Ryleigh met his gaze and instantly burst into wrathful laughter. “What are you looking at? You’re going to tell me that I’m at fault, aren’t you? M
Ryleigh was 5 foot 3 in height, and she was also dressed in a rather girlish style. Thus, she indeed looked a little short when she was standing in front of Louis, who was 6 foot 2 in height. But saying that she was flat-chested!?That might not be very aggressive, but it was extremely insulting!Colton laughed out loud.“Colton, you’re too much! You actually partnered up with such a person to bully your godmother. Do you believe that I won’t inform your mother about what you’ve just done?”Colton dashed to her immediately and hugged her coquettishly. “Godmother, it’s my fault, so don’t tell Mommy about this!”Seeing Colton acting all adorable and coquettish in front of her, Ryleigh became very gentle and cute again.When Colton saw the caller ID displayed on the smartwatch, his expression changed instantly. “Oops, Mommy is here to pick me up already!”Ryleigh took Colton out of the campus and saw a dazzling Rolls-Royce parked at the gate.“Mommy!” Colton rushed to hug Maisie a
“What are you doing?” Madam Vanderbilt felt uncomfortable deep down upon seeing him put his silverware down and throw a silent tantrum for no obvious reason.“You should know the relationship between Mr. Goldmann and Zee. Don’t think I don’t know what you have in mind. If you dare to go and argue with Zee, then you can go back to the ancestral mansion already.”Stephen had endured it for too long. He has endured a lot more than usual just because she was his biological mother.“What? How dare you threaten your own mother?”“I’m glad to hear that you still know that I’m your son.” Stephen calmed down. “Zee is your granddaughter, but you’ve never cared about her. Do you value your grandson so much? If you didn’t value a grandson as much as you do, I would have divorced Leila a long time ago. I wouldn’t have to be made a fool by her fake pregnancy scheme.”“A… A fake pregnancy?” Madam Vanderbilt was bewildered.She was still wondering why she had not seen Leila at home all day, thin
‘Madam Vanderbilt had always been keeping a close eye on it.’Maisie’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I must attend this meal if those people from the Vanderbilts are really planning to lay their hands on Vaenna.”“Zee, do you want me to accompany you there? After all, who knows what they’ll do.” Kennedy was worried about her attending this meal alone.Maisie was caught up in her thoughts for a split second.‘Kennedy is right. They must have a purpose since they asked to meet me. I don't know what they might do. In any case, I must go prepared.’…Maisie stepped into a high-end restaurant. She had tied her long hair into a neat high ponytail, was dressed in a black and white color-blocked dress with split ends, and had a pair of golden sequin earrings.She attracted a lot of attention from the guests around the area when she walked into the hotel.Seeing her extraordinary temperament, the waitress standing at the reception stepped forward and asked enthusiastically, “Miss, do you hav
