Chapter 28
Lorna’s pov
The second day after the wedding, at noon.
I just woke up and went downstairs. When I was about to have lunch in the dining room, I saw Belinda sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea leisurely and waiting for dinner.
“Why are you here? I told you not to come to the main building, didn’t I?” I walked up to her and stared at her with pride.
She turned around and ignored me.
Her reaction made me a more angry. I raised my voice, “are you deaf? I’m talking to you. Who let you come here?”
“Hey, are you talking to me? Who is the rude girl shouting? ” She finally turned to look at me with an exaggerated expression.
“Who do you think is uneducated?” I didn’t expect her to talk to me like that. I was so angry.
“Don’t you know how to talk to the elders?”
“Elder? You deserve it? You shameless mistress. Get out of my house, right now…” I said and was about to push her out.
“What’s the noise? It’s noon. It’s so annoying.”
“Dad, this bitch came to the main house without my permission and scolded me for being rude. Divorce her and kick her out right now.” When I saw my father, I immediately stepped forward and complained.
However, Belinda didn’t care at all. She just sat upright on the sofa and continued to drink tea.
“Kick her out? I think you are the one who should be kicked out. You are such a spendthrift. Do you know how much trouble you have caused me this time?” His father cursed as soon as he opened his mouth.
I’ve never been scolded like this before. I felt wronged and my face turned blue with anger. “Dad, what are you talking about? Why did I lose my family? What mistake did I make?”
“Lorna, do you think you are narrow-minded? Don’t you know that your father has been asking for help to resolve the matter that you have offended the King family in the past two days and hasn’t had a good rest?” Belinda added.
After that, she added, “Oh, by the way, I forgot that you have been holding parties with your friends these two days. How can you care about your father?”
“Shut up! How dare you speak here?” I glared at Belinda and said, “as a matter of fact, I should blame your shameless daughter. If it weren’t for her, how could I have offended Eugene?”
“Shut up, you unfilial daughter. ” The father shouted at me, and then turned to look at Belinda. “Belinda, we have been married for so many years, and you can’t just stand by and do nothing, can you? Well, can you help me to plead with Leanna and ask the King family to let us go this time? I promise that I will never mention divorce again, okay?”
“Lyndon, do you think I’m afraid of you divorcing me now? Leanna is now the girlfriend of the second son of the King family. If I can marry into the King family in the future, I will be the mother-in-law of the two. I have everything I want.” Belinda raised her head arrogantly.
I sneered, “it’s a dream to marry the King family. What kind of family is the King family? Will a girl with no status enter the house?”
She smiled and said, “it seems that what we should worry about now is not whether Leanna can marry the King family or not. It’s just that you have offended our Leanna. The King family is not willing to let go of the family now.”
“Belinda, have you thought it over? Are you really unwilling to help us get through this? If The Moor family is really destroyed, it won’t do you any good.” father was begging her.
“It’s not impossible for you to ask me to intercede with Leanna for you. Well, my requirements are not very high. I don’t want to meddle in your company’s affairs, and I can’t meddle in it either. However, from now on, I will be in charge of everything in this family. Can you agree?” Belinda said proudly.
“You shameless woman, stop dreaming. I won’t agree.” I refuse without hesitation.
“Shut up!” My father glared at me. He turned to look at Belinda fawningly and said, “Belinda, I promise you that I will listen to you whatever you say in our family from now on.”
“Well, let’s get rid of the little tramp you keep outside first.”
“I… I don’t have any mistress outside…” father suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Belinda sneered, “don’t think I’m a fool. When we just got married, you were so kind to me. Your daughter rejected me so much, and you refused to divorce me. In the past three years, you’ve been making trouble for me and even forced me to live in the deputy building. If you want to divorce me, you don’t have anyone else outside. How could you become like this?”
I looked at my father in disbelief. “Dad, is what she said true? Do you have other mistresses outside?”
“No… no… …” father said perfunctorily.
I looked at him with disappointment. “I thought you were willing to divorce this woman because you had thought it through and were about to remarry my mother. I didn’t expect that you were just fond of the new and tired of the old. How could you do this…”
“Now do you know who your father is? I tell you, if it weren’t for me, there would have been another woman. Your father divorced your mother not because of me. You hate the wrong person.” Belinda took the opportunity to say.
I glared at the two people in front of me, “you are not good people!”
Otis’s POV
Since the King group began to attack all the projects of the Moor Group, many buildings developed had all kinds of problems. They were blocked by the media, and original plan to be listed had been postponed indefinitely.
My father asked me to go upstairs and scolded me severely.
“I don’t care. If you can’t handle it well, I don’t think it’s necessary for you to marry the Moor family. This time, it’s the Moor family who has offended us. Our family is just involved. If your engagement is cancelled, the King family will not make things difficult for us.” father had made up his mind.
“Dad, how can you do this? I’m engaged to Lorna. How can you cancel it so easily?” I’m very dissatisfied with what my father did.
The King family did everything to The Moor family. It was just that Leanna was putting obstacles in it, trying to break up the conspiracy of my engagement with Lorna.
“So what? I didn’t know that Lorna was so stupid to offend the King family. You didn’t cancel the engagement. Do you want to see our family be dragged to death by the Moor family?” The more father said, the angrier he became.
“Don’t worry. I will solve the problem caused by Lorna. Don’t say anything about canceling the wedding in the future.” I left my angry father behind, turned around and walked out of the study.
Leanna’s POV
After the Moor’s mansion engagement party, I couldn’t let Mario calm down and forget everything. Then Evelyn called and asked me out for dinner.
I just wanted to go out for a walk after staying at home for a whole day, so I agreed.
When I arrived at the appointed place, I knew it was a five star restaurant.
The waiter led me into the room, but I didn’t see Evelyn.
I took out my phone and was about to call her to ask where she was. The door of the box was pushed open from the outside, and Otis appeared behind me.
“Why are you here?” After a short period of surprise, I understood everything. “Did you ask Evelyn to ask me out?”
“Yes, sir.” Otis walked to me and looked down at me.
“Sorry, I have something else to do. I have to go now.” I don’t even want to see him, let alone have dinner with him alone.
This man’s image in my heart has completely collapsed at that engagement party.
I’m going to leave.
But my hand was grabbed by him. “I have something to tell you.”
“But I have to say to you.”
“Do you have to be so ugly?” Otis looked at me with resentment.
“What?” I don’t understand what he said.
What do you mean by saying that?
Wasn’t it him and Lorna who had done something wrong from the beginning to the end?
He managed to deceive me to the engagement party, and hired two obscene men to rape me. In the end, they even poured dirty water on me. I didn’t pursue these things, but now he is questioning me instead.
It was so ridiculous.
“What can I do to make you let go of The Moor family?” He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood and asked in a low voice.
I was stunned for half a second and suddenly reacted.
“So you asked me out today to plead for Lorna.” Finally, I understand why he came here. A sarcastic smile appeared on my face.
Yes, I should have thought of it.
Did he make every effort to ask me out for an apology for what happened that day?
“Have you been wronged by what Lorna said that day?” Otis asked.
Hearing his question, I didn’t know why my nose was a little sore. The surging emotions that I had tried to restrain could not be restrained.
I stared at him, “will you still believe what I said? When did you really believe me?”
“I…”
I smiled bitterly. “You only believe what you see and hear. You believe whatever others say. It used to be like this, but now it is still the same.”
“Are you telling the truth that you took away the break-up fee my mother gave you?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes, sir.” I nodded.
“Is it true that you work in a nightclub for money?”
“Yes, sir.” I don’t want to deny what I have done, even if the past is not so glorious.
After hearing that, Otis’ expression became extremely terrible. He raised his hand and slapped me hard in the face.
Almost at the same time, Evelyn rushed in excitedly and shouted, “how’s it going? Have you ordered something delicious?”
“Lorna is right. You are a bitch who can do anything for money!” In the private room, Otis almost gnashed their teeth and cursed at me, ignoring Evelyn who broke in.
My face was slapped to one side by him. There was a smell of blood spreading in my mouth, and the corner of my mouth seemed to be broken by his slap.
“Otis, are you a man? How dare you hit a woman?” After Evelyn was shocked, she was furious. She rushed up, pushed him away and pulled me out.
I didn’t expect that I would be slapped. I felt like I was blindfolded, like a puppet, and was taken out of the room by Evelyn.
“Leanna, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Otis called me this afternoon and asked me to ask you out. I thought he wanted to make up with you, so I agreed to help him cheat you out. If I had known he would treat you like this, I wouldn’t have helped him even if I had been beaten to death.” After leaving the private room, Evelyn kept apologizing.
I followed her for a few steps and suddenly saw a familiar figure standing at the elevator entrance in front of me, and several men in suits beside him.
“Ding Dong.” the elevator door opened. A man in suit said to the figure, “president, the elevator is here. Please.”
The man raised his head slightly and said, “you go first.”
“Leanna, wait for me in the elevator. I’m going to the bathroom. I don’t know why I have a stomachache these two days.” Evelyn frowned.
“Okay.” I agreed and walked towards the elevator door.
Evelyn covered her belly and went to the bathroom.
Walking to the man, I lowered my head and didn’t dare to look at his face.
“Is that him?” He asked calmly.
