Chapter 118: Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Get Divorced and Marry You The following day in the Miller family, Jane woke up and found Beck’s side of the bed cold. She knew he didn’t come back last night.

Her eyes narrowed, and she became suspicious. Beck always left home early in the morning and returned late at night these days, and he spent less and less time at home. He was impatient with her. Every time he looked at her with restrained feelings, Jane could see his disgust.

Jane looked at herself in the mirror. She had dry yellow skin, and wrinkles surrounded her eyes and mouth. She couldn’t help but break down and clutched her hair.

No wonder Beck grew increasingly impatient with her, even she felt disgusted when she saw her face in the mirror. She hated that she was gradually getting old, but Beck was strong and energetic.

She turned over the mirror irritably. Out of sight, out of mind. Then, she got up to wash up and saw the passing servants carrying dirty clothes to wash. Jane immediately noticed that the white sweater belonged to Cherry and was covered with coffee stains. She suddenly felt rage.

Jane picked up the stained sweater and rushed directly to Cherry’s room, yelling, “Cherry, did you go out yesterday?”

“Mom, what are you doing!” Cherry was still sleeping. She felt annoyed when her mother shouted at her.

Jane was mad since her daughter didn’t listen to her, “I told you to stay home and keep a low profile for a few days until people stop gossiping about us. Why did you sneak out yesterday?”

“Mom, I just went shopping, no biggie. Why do you have to make a fuss over it.” Cherry saw the sweater in her mother’s hand. She wished the servant could have her sweater washed earlier instead of just now.

“Just shopping?” Jane laughed angrily, pointing to the coffee stains on the sweater, “How could you stain your sweater while shopping? Be honest with me. Have you gotten into a fight?”

Cherry could see that her mother wouldn’t let go unless she told the truth. So she nodded and came clean that she confronted Cynthia in the coffee shop yesterday.

Jane couldn’t believe what her daughter did, “People saw your face, didn’t they? I suppose they took a video as well? You are killing me here.”

She took out her phone and saw a video of Cherry on Twitter. She snapped, “Your father just got us out of trouble. You just couldn’t wait to cause more trouble, could you?”

“Mom, I was just too angry. Cynthia admitted she did it. That’s why I threw water on her. But I didn’t expect her to pour hot coffee at me.”

Cherry was still furious when she recalled it, “Since she has already admitted it herself, we can expose her!”

“How would you do that? Did you record what she said?” Jane glared at her, and Cherry shut her mouth. She was so angry at the time that she completely forgot to record. Even though she knew it was Cynthia, she couldn’t prove it.

Jane tapped her daughter’s forehead helplessly, “Cherry, the Miller family is in deep trouble now. Why can’t you be mature and prudent for a change? You acting like this will cause more problems for your father and me. We can’t even get ourselves out of this mess now. How are we going to help you?”

After being reprimanded, Cherry couldn’t sleep anymore. She got off the bed, went to the bathroom outside to wash up, and replied impatiently, “OK, got it!”

Jane couldn’t stand her daughter being so indocile. She left her daughter’s room and saw Beck coming back. and standing in the living room. She rushed over and said, “Beck, look what a disobedient daughter you got here.”

She stopped when she realized how drunk Beck was, and she frowned, “You are drunk? How much drink did you have last night, and with whom did you drink? Why didn’t you call and let me know.”

Beck untied his tie, threw it on the sofa, and muttered, “I had dinner with a business partner, and I drank too much. I forgot to call you.”

After speaking, he staggered toward the upstairs to rest without looking at her.

When he passed by Jane, the latter smelled a strong perfume. It was sweet and gentle. Jane frowned deeper. She knew her husband was with somebody else last night, and that woman’s scent didn’t wear off even when he made it back home.

Jane grew indignant. She followed her husband and asked, “There were women in last night’s dinner? Why do I smell perfume on you?”

Beck was startled for a moment and replied annoyingly, “It was a dinner party. Of course, there were women.”

Seeing that Jane was unhappy, he added, “They ordered some girls, but I didn’t. I was near those girls. That’s why you can smell their perfume on me.”

Then, he staggered into the room.

Jane stared at his back with complicated feelings. She wasn’t sure whether she should believe him or not. It was clear that they had grown apart recently, and she always felt that Beck was hiding something from her.

She had the same flustered feeling when she discovered that Beck started a new family with Lynn behind her back. It was hard enough for her to handle Lynn and Cynthia. She couldn’t take it anymore if her husband.

gave her more surprises.

She must know who that woman was.

After entering the room, Beck was already pretty sober. He took out his phone and received a message from Vanessa, asking if he had made it home safe.

It was just a text message, but Beck could feel Vanessa’s affection for him..

He smiled and replied, “I’m home, baby. You can have a day off today. I almost got caught by that witch, but I managed to cover for you. I’ll go to your place in a few days.”

In less than two minutes, another message came.

“I’m really scared, Beck. If she finds out and makes a scene out of this, my reputation will be ruined. I know what I’m doing is wrong and immoral, but I really like you. I used to be a pure and innocent girl myself. But now, I am with you against my conscience. If what happened between us ruins your marriage, I’ll be troubled and guilty. I think we should stop. I’ll resign from the Miller Group today and let you continue your happy life.”

What she said softened Beck’s heart. This little girl liked him desperately and endured so much for him. He could imagine how frightened Vanessa looked, curling up in the quilt alone.

He consoled her quickly by responding, “Vanessa, you made me feel passionate and alive again. I’ve had. enough of that woman. I’ll divorce her and marry you once you give birth to a son.”

Vanessa sneered when she got the above message, It was easy to manipulate a man if a woman was gentle, considerate, and admired him. He would fall for that woman and abandon his wife and children, even for an aloof person like Beck.

Vanessa seemed smug and sure remembered what Cynthia had said to her.

Cynthia approached her and offered her a lot of money to get close to Beck. She wanted her to cause trouble for Beck’s wife and daughter.

She has successfully won Beck’s love. What was left for her to do was to have a son, then all the Miller family’s property would belong to her son.

Vanessa was torn between the money Cynthia promised and the Miller family’s fortune. The latter was apparently more alluring. It was all clear to Vanessa now.

She decided to ignore Cynthia’s order and follow her plan by giving birth to a son for Beck and making her son the heir of the family property. She would be the real mistress of the Miller family.

Thinking of this, Vanessa replied to Beck, “Okay, Beck. I’ll keep healthy and try my best to give you a son.”

Later, she sent Cynthia a message, “Miss Miller, I’m sorry. I fell in love with your father, so our deal is over.”

After sending the message, she decisively blocked Cynthia’s contacts.

In the Smith family, Stella was so angry at Alston that she couldn’t sleep all night. She fell asleep when it was just dawn in the morning and didn’t wake up until noon. Finally, when she came out of the room, she noticed that the stairs going up were blocked by a new gate.

Stella couldn’t believe it! Alston was serious this time. He was on guard against her!

Alston didn’t consider her his mother, and his wife also showed no respect to her. She couldn’t stand it, so she went out for a walk. When reaching the gate, Stella saw that the mailbox was open. She became curious and checked it. There was an envelope.

Stella got curious. There was nothing special about the envelope except that it had no recipient or sender.

She looked puzzled. Since there was no recipient, she could open it as well. Stella tore off the seal and found a few photos.

She was shocked to see what was in the photos.

These were the photos of Cynthia going in and out of a hotel with another man, and each photo was marked with time.

She was excited to receive those photos and knew exactly what she would do.

She finally got something on Cynthia, whom Alston couldn’t protect even if he tried this time. It was a great opportunity for her to get Cynthia out of the Smith family!
