Chapter 1786 âSwear?â Tracy scoffed. âYour oath means nothing to me! If what youâre saying were true, you wouldnât be standing in my house right now! And your daughter, Ellinor, isnât here anymore. If you got any issues, go to the Blanchet family. And what on earth are you all dressed up for? Youâre just trying to steal my husband, arenât you?â Marlinie felt wronged. Dressed up? She had rushed to catch a plane and didnât even have time to wash her face, let alone comb her hair. Her clothes were just hastily thrown on before she rushed out the door. Realizing that Tracy was suspicious by nature, Marlinie decided not to argue. âMrs. Mendoza, if you donât want me to see your husband, thatâs fine. But I have some questions that only he can answer. Just give me his number. Iâll call him, clear things up, and then Iâll leave.â Tracy crossed her arms. You want my husbandâs number? Dream on! Iâm not giving it to you. If you know whatâs good for you, youâll leave now! Or else, donât blame me for being rude!â
Marlinie was at a loss for words. Why was this woman so irrational?! Just then, Bertha and her daughter, who had been taken to the bathroom by Sheila, returned. Lea had heard the last bit of Tracy and Marlinieâs conversation and came in to stand up for her. âOld Lady, are you seriously so possessive of your old husband? Do you think every woman wants to steal him away? Thatâs just hilarious! I saw your family picture downstairs. That balding, potbellied man is only a treasure in your eyes! Ms.
Marlinie wouldnât even bat an eyelid at him!â Tracy was instantly annoyed when she heard Lea call her âold lady.â âWhoâs child is this? Sheâs so ill-mannered! Who taught you to talk to adults like this?â Lea rolled her eyes. âIâm ill-mannered? At least Iâm not as rude as your daughter, who locks guests in a room like this!â âYouâ¦â Tracy was taken aback.Sheila, who had entered behind them, heard Lea and immediately pushed her. âWho are you talking about? You little brat! Who gave you the right to judge me?! Itâs because you have no shame! You people are trying to seduce my dad! You think I enjoy having to lock you up?! I just had to!â Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
Lea, a small girl, received a sudden push from behind by Sheila. She stumbled a few steps but managed not to fall thanks to the quick reactions of Bertha and Marlinie. âSweetie, are you okay?â
Bertha crouched down to hold her daughter. Concern was written all over her face. Lea was startled, but she shook her head and then glared at Sheila. After steadying Lea, Marlinie stood up to confront the Mendozas. âWhat do you think youâre doing? Why would you attack a child?â Sheila was nonchalant. âWhy? She insulted me, and I didnât like it! Whatâs wrong with pushing her a bit? Sheâs such a young child and yet so ill-mannered. If you donât teach her manners, I will!â Marlinie realized none of the Mendozas were reasonable people. She could only imagine what her daughter must have endured living with them. Regret was coursing through every part of her body. Lea, like her father, Thaddeus, had a short temper. After being pushed to her limits, she fired back. âWho do you think you are?! You pushed me?! No one pushes me around!â Sheila laughed as if she had heard the most amusing joke. âOh, how impressive! Well, I pushed you today. What are you going to do about it?â âIâll beat you up!â Lea clenched her tiny fists. Sheila laughed even harder. She quickly revealed her phone and started recording a video. âCome on, hit me! If you touch me today, Iâll call the cops and accuse you of trespassing! Letâs see how you explain that to the police!â Lea was furious. Sheila was just as despicable as Sophia. She saw nothing but red now, so she raised her fist to strike. Bertha quickly stopped her. She didnât want her daughter to be impulsive. If Sheila really called the police, they wouldnât have any proof that they were invited in.
