Chapter 47
***********************************
Janice was currently in front of Tyler’s villa. The same place his mother is staying. She went there without Micheal. She had decided to go meet the woman alone.
Janice pressed the horn severally until the security man came out.
“Please, who are you looking for?” The man asked respectfully after noticing Janice isn’t an ordinary person.
“I’ve been pressing my horn loudly, why are you just opening tge gate now?” She asked back but rudely.
“I’m so sorry miss. I was busy…..”
“Oh shut up. I don’t care whatever you were busy doing inside. Just open the fucking gate!!” She ordered.
The man was obviously shocked by her outburst. He was old enough to be her father but she didn’t care and disrespected him.
He felt really ashamed.
“I have to know who you’re looking for first.” He said calmly trying to hold back his anger. She might be someone important to his boss.
“Just tell Mrs. Humphrey that her daughter in law is here to see her.” She said with an eye roll.
“Daughter in law?” He thought with confusion written all over his face.
“Didn’t the young master come here with his wife and son yesterday??” He muttered to himself.
“What are you murmuring about?” Janice asked rudely.
“Nothing.” The man said eyeing Janice in disgust.
He should have known that the lady here is just one of the other prostitutes that wants to get into the Humphrey family by force.
And she dressed like a normal person. He really should stop judging people by how they look before it’s too late.
“Are you going to call her or not??” Janice asked quizzically.
“I am.” He grunte.
“Be quick then!!” Janice ordered as he left.
After about two minutes, the man came back with a huge frown on his face and opened the gate. Janice snorted at his direction.
“Old fool.” She muttered and drove in.
She parked her car and came out. She looked around in awe. The beauty of the villa was too much for her that she was almost lost in her world of fantasies.
“Act cool Janice. All these and many more would soon be yours after you become the wife of Tyler. So you need to act elegant.” She reprimanded heself.
“Janice.” She heard someone call and turned to see Tyler’s mother staring at her.
“Here goes nothing.” She took in a deep breath and put on a wide smile.
“Mom.” She called and ran to hug Mrs. Humphrey.
“You’re squeezing me.” Mrs. Humphrey wheezed.
“Oh I’m sorry. I’m just so happy to see you.” Janice said.
“Oh…” Mrs. Humphrey muttered.
“Ohhh???” Janice wanted to ask but she didn’t say anything.
She noticed that something had changed. This wasn’t how the woman was when she first met her but she didn’t read too much meaning about it.
“Can we go inside mum?” Janice asked.
“Sure.” The walked into the house together.
“Have a seat.” Janice sat down and kept on ogling at the living room.
“Would you like something to drink?” She heard Mrs. Humphrey say and turbed towards her.
“No.” She answered respectfully.
“Okay then.”
“Actually, mom. I came here to discuss something very important to you.” Janice started.
Mrs. Humphrey already knew what she was about to say but decided to act dumb.
“What is it?” She asked.
“It’s about your son. He hasn’t been treating me well.” Janice stated.
“What did he do this time?” Mrs. Humphrey asked in a bored tone.
Janice heart bubbled. Time for her to start with her acting.
She gathered all the tears she could and they started flowing down her cheek like a waterfall.
“I just found out he’s cheating on me.” Janice said sniffing in unknown mucus in her nose.
Mrs. Humphrey fought tge urge to roll her eyes. She’s a really bad actress.
“He is?? Since when?” She asked feigning surprise.
Janice heart was filled with joy. The old woman is really buying her act.
“For a while now. He does things with that lady that he doesn’t even do with me. They go on dates and outings together. He even knows that the woman has a bastard child…”
“Shut up.” Mrs. Humphrey thundered making Janice go quiet.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Janice looked up to see Mrs. Humphrey’s eyes blazing with anger. She was confused. Did she say something wrong?
“What’s wrong mum?” She asked in surprise.
“How dare you refer to my grandson as a bastard?” Mrs. Humphrey asked back.
“But isn’t that who he is? He doesn’t have a father but his mother is pinning the baby on your son.” Janice explained.
“You mean Rosalie?? How will she pin the child on someone that is obviously his father?” She asked back.
“You know her??” Janice asked.
“Obviously.” Mrs. Humphrey answered nonchalantly.
“Where’s all these coming from mum??” Shock was an understatement to describe what Janice was going through now. Her red face had gone pale.
“What do you mean by that dumb question. I’m just stating the facts here. Tyler is already married to Rosalie so I hope you’ll stop pressurizing them.” Mrs. Humphrey said.
“Wait whattt???” Janice asked. She felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her.
“You heard me. You can now stop your pathetic lies here because no one is going to buy them.” She said.
“No way. They can’t be married. I’m the only one that’s meant to get married to Tyler. I’m your daughter in law remember??” She said with tears streaming down her face.
“I have only one daughter in law and that’s Rosalie. You can either take it or leave it.” Mrs. Humphrey dead panned.
Janice went on all fours and crawled towards Mrs. Humphrey. She held her leg and pleaded.
“You can’t do this to me mum. You said I’ll be the one to get married to your son….”
“I did say that. But after all the escapades you’ve been having with your numerous boyfriends, you really think I’d allow you into my home??” Janice’s eyes widened in shock at her words.
“H.. how did you know about that??” She asked.
“Is that really the question you should be asking me now??” Mrs. Humphrey asked staring at her with eyes filled with disgust.
“I’m sorry mum. I didn’t want to. They forced me. They made me do it.” Janice pleaded.
“How did they force you when you obviously enjoyed it. I’ve said it already and I’ll say it again. You can’t get married to my son.” She said.
“Really??” Janice said suddenly standing up and wiping her tears.
Mrs. Humphrey was shocked by her behavior but decided to maintain her stand.
“Really.” She said.
“Well mother in law. If I can’t get married to your son, no one will.” Janice said with determination in her eyes.
“Are you trying to threaten me??” Mrs. Humphrey asked angrily.
“Whatever it sounds like. But I just want to make something clear to you. You’ll regret ever humiliating me today.” Janice swore.
PPahhhhhhhahhhhh.
Janice’s face whipped to the side when Mrs. Humphrey’s hands collided with her cheek.
“Get out of my house you slut.” She screamed angrily.
“I will mum. Just remember that you’ll regret this.” Janice said with an evil smile on her face. She picked her purse and walked out angrily.
When Mrs. Humphrey was sure that she had left, she collapsed on the couch tiredly. She held her fast beating heart.
She couldn’t deny that her heart skipped a beat when she saw Janice’s determined face.
“I can’t believe I almost made my son to get married to that witch..” She winced.
She always knew that Janice wasn’t a good person but she never thought it would be this worse. She seemed like someone who needed urgent medical attention.
She had better warn Tyler and Rosalie.
