This news hit Nancy like a bolt of lightning!
She came running back for Morgan, even after his recent cold attitude, she wasn’t too desperate. But now, it’s obvious that Morgan is suggesting canceling the divorce with Erica?
Certainly, everything is part of Erica’s trap!
She quietly curled her fingers, her palm pierced by her nails, blood trickling.
Nancy’s bright face was now filled with intense hatred.
“Four years ago, Morgan and I broke up because of you, and now, it’s the same again?”
Her voice was extremely calm, as if she was talking about something unimportant, but her lips were cold and sent shivers down one’s spine!
After a while, she arrived at her computer, opened a message that had been lying in her inbox for a few days, quickly skimmed through it, and clicked on one of the links…
Even though Erica had no plans to work in Starlight Media, as the owner, she decided to visit the company for a stroll.
Fredrick, dressed in a simple white shirt and trousers, saw her and waved enthusiastically, “A extreme hot trending, related to your ex–husband. Are you interested?”
“Not really,” Erica pretended to be disinterested, holding a report and looking down.
Fredrick sighed with boredom, followed suit, and sat down.
Completely forgetting her “lack of interest,” she started talking, “Last night, Nancy’s computer was hacked, and a lot of things were leaked.”
“I heard it’s related to some shady contracts. This has caused a lot of trouble. If it’s true, Nancy’s done for this time.”
The existence of those contracts was for tax evasion, and there are many big stars involved in tax evasion cases, and her fate won’t be an exception. It’s
fantastic.
The news was indeed explosive.
Erica, not really caring, was also taken aback and forgot to read the report.
“Take your revenge,” Fredrick clenched his fist, feeling happy with the thought of retribution, “Reward the incompetent. If it weren’t for you, she’d be
finished.”
“Doesn’t know how to repay kindness and returns to cause trouble. She must be punished!”
“Though justice might come late, it’ll never be absent!”
Fredrick’s rightful anger was only met with a feeble “Mmm” from Erica.
She’ll get the divorce; the problem is not whether Nancy will return, but that Morgan doesn’t love her.
Nancy’s return only hastens the death of their marriage.
“At first, the only person I wanted to save was Morgan, and Nancy was not on the list of protection,” she said truthfully.
“Even so, if it weren’t for you telling the reporters that they had broken up long ago and that you and Morgan were planning to get married, how could she easily leave like this? Hasn’t she been living well for the past four years?”
Back then, she and Morgan had an unexplainable one–night stand, and while they were dealing with the aftermath, the news leaked accidentally.
Chapter
She was caught red handed by the reporters, lying in bed with disheveled clothes, and a man under the covers, an extremely embarrassing scene,
“Back then, Nancy and Morgan were publicly engaged, and the whole country knew! She’s also a public figure in the entertainment industry. Have you seen any famous person deceive the public and still stand on the screen?”
“When she was treated coldly, mocked, and misunderstood by the West family, she was still happy overseas, maintaining her reputation and responding to various events. Not only did she not say a word of gratitude, but she also played the victim in everything. Is anyone shameless like that?”
Knowing that Fredrick was arguing for her, Erica turned and hugged her, “Thank you, my good sister,”
“Thank you isn’t enough; I want to celebrate with a hotpot. Very spicy, please!” Fredrick took advantage of the strategy.
“Sure, let’s have hotpot, extra spicy,” Erica immediately took out her mobile phone, opened a food app, and searched for nearby hotpot restaurants,
Just then, the phone rang.
It was a call from Lily’s kindergarten teacher.
Erica quickly answered, “Hello, is it because Lily is unwell that you called me at this time?”
“No.” On the other end, the teacher’s voice was hesitant. “You see, the child’s father is here and wants to take the child… Can you come here for a
moment?”
Hearing that Morgan would take Lily, Erica was quite surprised.
Shouldn’t he be in a hurry to handle the leaked contracts with Nancy now?
What does he want when taking Lily away?
Erica didn’t have the mind to think much, she just told Fredrick a few words and hurried to the kindergarten.
Upon arrival, she couldn’t find Lily.
The nursery teacher shrugged helplessly, “The child’s father wants to take the child away for sure. His identity… our nursery is unable to meddle with him, so…”
Erica had warned the teacher beforehand to be cautious about any moves from the West family. Except for her and Fredrick, no one was allowed to take Lily away.
Yet, the result was still…
Erica couldn’t understand how he could take the child away after she had said so much.
Knowing that the teacher had tried, Erica didn’t complain; instead, she said, “Let me handle this.”
She got in her car and drove straight to the West’s house.
The West family’s house was simple, elegant, and prosperous for generations, a paradise that many people yearned for.
As Erica stepped inside, she didn’t find it beautiful; instead, she felt sorrowful. Without Lily, she would never want to step in here again.
The butler looked at her, a hesitant expression on his face. “Are you Mrs… Erica?”
“Uncle Alex, I’m looking for Morgan.” Erica politely said.
Although the owner of this family didn’t want to meet her, the staff was kind.
“Master told me you’re not allowed in.” Uncle Alex shook his head reluctantly.
Erica didn’t force it but said, “Then, please tell Morgan that if I call the police or contact the reporters, I will make a scene, and everyone will be looking. He probably wouldn’t want the West family’s affairs to appear in the news.”
Chapter 26
Perhaps her words had an effect.
A few minutes later, she caught sight of Morgan.
He was dressed in black.
His face looked darker, and there were dark circles under his eyes, making it difficult to get close.
Erica didn’t want to waste time with him, she quickly approached and asked anxiously, “Where is Lily? Why…”
“Don’t come looking for Lily. She doesn’t need a mother without discipline!”
Before Erica could finish, Morgan
said coldly.
The repulsion in his tone towards her was deeper than ever.
“No discipline?” Erica couldn’t understand, “Shouldn’t everything be clarified?”
“Throw her out!”
“If she dares to intrude, call the police!”
Morgan didn’t want to say any unnecessary words to her and ordered the butler Alex.
Then he turned and went inside.
A heavy sense of oppression rushed over Erica’s heart.
She had accused him many times and pretended to be righteous.
He had done enough dirty things behind her back.
She still felt remorseful towards him; everything was futile!
Butler Alex was unwilling to have them chased away by the bodyguards.
Being inexplicably robbed of her daughter and labeled as “disorderly conduct,” Erica couldn’t understand.
But she didn’t fight back against the bodyguards.
She was thrown out of the door.
Bang!
The door in front closed.
A door separated her from Lily’s world.
At this moment, Erica couldn’t help but worry, thinking that Lily inside the house might be scared, her eyes suddenly turned red!
“Uncle Alex, do you know what’s going on?” Burying her worries in her heart, she could only turn to the butler Alex for help.
