Chapter 72
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 72 Pushing Treyton Away âWhat did they say?â Treyton furrowed his brows, waiting with great interest for his response.
+25 Bonus âMr. Ferguson has locked Ms. Ferguson up, and she is not allowed to come out without his consent.
â the butler replied respectfully.
Treyton snorted.
âThatâs good.
At least she wonât be able to come to Fairlake and cause trouble anymore.
Finally, weâll have some peace and quiet for a while.
â He waved his hand, signaling the servant to leave, and continued to stare at the two closed doors of the room.
In the Ferguson residence in Salinsburgh, Eloise was in her room, throwing a tantrum.
âDad is being so unreasonable! How could he lock me in my room and not even let me out the door!â
The housekeeper timidly approached and gently comforted her, âMs. Ferguson, donât be too upset.
Youâre just being grounded.
It will pass if you stay quietly at home for a while.
â âYou know nothing! Get out of here!â Eloise yanked all the fresh flowers out of the vase and hurled them at the housekeeper.
âGet out of here! Stop bothering me!â Not satisfied, she grabbed the vase and furiously smashed it on the ground.
âMs. Ferguson, this is absolutely unacceptable! This is a crystal vase Mrs. Ferguson brought back from Ferropene.
Itâs invaluable! You canât break it!â The housekeeper looked at the vase with a broken corner, feeling heartbroken but not daring to step forward and stop her.
âThese things belong to my family, and I can smash them however I want! How dare you, a mere housekeeper, try to boss me around? Iâll rip your tongue out if you dare to talk back again!â She pushed all the cosmetics off the table, and the crisp sounds of them shattering on the floor were quite jarring.
The housekeeper knew trying to advise her was useless as it would only bring more trouble upon herself, so she simply closed her mouth, shut the door, and left.
Wyatt and Emma heard Eloiseâs furious outburst from upstairs.
Wyattâs face darkened as he threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
âLook at the well-behaved daughter youâve raised!â âHow could you say that?â Emma was dissatisfied.
âIsnât she your daughter too? Youâre so eager to distance yourself.
Are you trying to avoid responsibility?â âIf it werenât for you constantly spoiling her, would she have turned out like this? Treyton wants to call off the engagenient this time, and no matter how much I humble myself, he wonât change his mind.
If we let her continue acting recklessly, the Ferguson family is bound to fall apart because of her!â
Wyatt 1/4 Chapter 72 Pushing Treyton Away said, his face full of anger.
âYou-â +25 Bonus Just as Emma was about to retort sarcastically, Sherman, who was coming down from upstairs, noticed the tense atmosphere and quickly stepped in to mediate.
âMom, Dad, itâs normal for Eloise to feel upset since sheâs been grounded.
Let her vent a little.
Itâs good.
for her!â âThatâs not the right way to vent her frustrations! Just listen.
If she keeps throwing things like that, all those world-class treasures in the house will be gone in no time!â Wyatt pointed upstairs, sighing repeatedly, looking disappointed and frustrated.
The sound of things being smashed could still be fairly heard.
After pondering for a moment, Sherman decided to go upstairs and comfort her personally.
Upstairs, Eloise was holding an antique decorative plate, ready to smash it on the ground.
âWho pissed you off so much?â Sherman took the plate from her hand and led her to sit on the couch.
âGetting too angry is bad for your health.
Breaking a couple of things to vent your frustration is enough to make you feel better.
â âSherman!â Eloise, feeling aggrieved, tugged at his arm.
âJust because of a divorced woman.
Treyton actually wants to call off our engagement!â Sherman pinched her cheek.
âItâs probably not that simple, isnât it? How could I not know your little schemes?â âEver since that woman got divorced, Treyton has been letting her stay in the villa and treating her so gently and considerately.
How do you expect me to swallow my pride? Sherman.
I know youâve always been the one who cared for me the most since we were little.
Can you help me get rid of Gwendolyn?â She playfully shook his arm.
âWould you really stand by and watch your sisterâs favorite man being snatched away by another woman?â Shermanâs pupils dilated.
He placed both hands on Eloiseâs shoulders.
âEloise, say that again.
What was the womanâs name?â Eloise was somewhat baffled, but she repeated herself, âGwendolyn.
Sheâs an orphan from Fairlake Orphanage.
What right does she have to compete with me? Sherman, do you perhaps know her?â Gwendolynâ¦
This name is all too familiar.
Could it be her? But how could she possibly be an orphanâ¦.
Sherman let go and turned around to process her words, feeling a sense of doubt in his heart.
Eloise noticed something was off and asked with curiosity, âSherman, whatâs wrong?â âDo you have a picture of this Gwendolyn?â âNot long ago, she was trending on social media.
There must be pictures of her online.
Donât you know?â 914 Chapter 72 Pushing Treyton Away +25 Bonus Sherman shook his head.
He was not one to pay attention to online gossip, but there was not a rumor of the incident Eloise mentioned spreading in Salinsburgh.
It seemed that someone from one of the major families had ordered a news blackout.
Could it be the Harris family? But why did the Harris family want to block the news about this woman in Salinsburgh? The doubts and speculations in his heart grew deeper and deeper.
Eloise sat down on the couch, fuming as she took out her phone.
She flipped through the photos she had secretly taken of Gwendolyn carlier and handed the phone to Sherman for him to see.
âSherman, you have to help me.
As long as this despicable woman dies, no one will compete with me.
for Treyton anymoreâ¦â Eloise kept chattering away, but Sherman was focused on the photos on her phone.
His beautiful eyes.
were brimming with emotions.
âSherman? Did you hear me?â Eloiseâs roar snapped him out of his trance.
âSo, you desperately want her to die?â.
âThatâs right!â Eloise said with determination in her eyes.
Sherman tapped her on the head, looking disappointed at her stubbornness.
âHow should I wake you up? The more you pick on her, the more youâre pushing Treyton away with your own hands!â âSherman, what do you mean?â Eloise dodged his hand, feeling quite displeased.
Sherman laughed in exasperation.
âYouâre trying to harm his only younger sister.
Why do you think he is distancing himself from you and hates you?â âWhat? His younger sister?â Eloise was utterly astonished.
Gwendolyn is actually Treytonâs younger sister? How is this even possible? âDidnât the Harris family announce the death of their little daughter six years ago? Although Iâve never met her, Iâve looked into Gwendolynâs background, and sheâs clearly an orphan!â Sherman sighed.
âYou should know how powerful the Harris family is.
If they donât want anyone to find out, how can you possibly uncover anything? As for why the Harris family did this, perhaps it was to protect her.
â In just a few ininutes, Sherman had more or less sorted everything out.
Eloise stood there, utterly speechless with astonishment.
Sherman glanced at the messy room she had created.
If you still want to keep this marriage engagement with Treyton, stop thinking about harming her.
In the meantime, you stay at home and think about how to apologize to her.
â He patted Eloise on the shoulder and left her bedroom.
Six years ago, he had been devasted when Gwendolyn disappeared and the Harris family announced her death.
Later on, even though his parents had arranged for him to meet many ladies in the upper-class society both openly and secretly, he just could not forget her Now that he knew she was still alive and was in Fairlake, he wished he could have a pair of wings and fly to her side immediately.
After Sherman left, Eloise remained stunned on the spot.
She took quite some time to regain her composure.
Everything she did not understand had an explanation now.
Why were Gwendolyn and Treyton having lunch together in his office? Why did Treyton treat her with such care and attention? And how did Gwendolyn immediately land the position of talent director upon arriving at Angle? Did I almost hurt my future sister-in-law?
