Chapter 171: Chapter 171

15.7 Chapter 171 Chapter 171 Bad woman? Me?

Her slandering statement set me nu fire, it didn’t take me a moment to underd her intentio asshe said.

“You should understand that a woman like you, with children, is not worthy of hy son. If you are smart, you must walk away on down. Laura”

Unbelievable!

That was the same point I argued over and over at with Bright, asking him to reconsider his decision to be with a divorces. But his response always put a stop at our coversation, “I love you, Laura. You can’t use my princess to kick me out of your life But s i still, I didn’t trust him, testing him repeatedly, he didn’t let me down even for once. From Jane’s paternity to Zoe’s welcome in my life, he stayed by my side as my biggest supporter. I was blessed to have such a gem in my life.

Apparently, my fiancé’s mom was unaware of her son’s emotions, spewing out nonsense and hatred towards his choice. So I tried to explain the authenticity of our mutual affection.

“There must be some snderstanding, Mrs, Waller. We love each other, What I have with Bright is real...

“Oh, really?” She leaned back, crossing her arms over her chest. “Do you take me as an idiot, Laura?

I have met plenty of women who professed their undying affection, but guess what? None of them were honest enough to admit their lust for money!”

With that, she picked her bag and took out a checkbook, *hat it just about money like every time, Laura? Be honest and admit it. I wont mind it Being a single mom of two kids is expensive for a woman like you”

Her baseless allegations filled me with so much adrenaline that my body began to shake, I barely held my screams of frustration.

She knew that I was the owner of a sports agency, a businesswoman, so why would I pry Bright for his money?

What was so difficult to accept that we were truly in love?

Mrs. Waller’s lips wasted in a disgusted curve as her icy stare bored into me, carning my mouth bitter with her implacable hostility. She signed a check and pushed it forward, “Take these five million dollars and leave my son, Laura. I won’t let him suffer because of a greedy woman.

Five million dollars? Really?

Now, I wanted to laugh at her face as this measly amount fairly amused me, this sum was less than the annual profit of my one branch overseas. Mrs. Waller was clearly misinformed about my status; she must have heard about my kids and painted a picture of an ambitious woman in her head.

This misunderstanding could easily be cleared by her detailed conversation with her son, so I refused her offer pottély, “I am so sorry, but I don’t need your money. Bright’s love is enough for me.

1 got up with a smile and bid her farewell, her face was scarlet with suppressed Fury as she challenged me openly.

“I see how long you can fool my son. I will protect him from every bad woman...

As it was impossible to change her views in a jiffy. I wished her well and walked out of the cafe, wondering about the reason for her sudden Appearance. Earlier, Bright wanted to arrange a grand engagement ceremony, but it was delayed due to his parent’s business dealings. We had decided to go abroad and marry after the ice hockey season.

Then what changed? Who provided her wrong information about me?

Hadn’t Bright introduced me to his parents properly?

The Black Swan’s Final Revenge Pirouette The 99th Game Was Mine All Along apter 171 Several queries like this popped up in my mind, becoming a whirlwind of salty, I dialed Bright’s timber for clarification. I was aware of Mrs. Waller’s perspective as she was just concerned about her son, there must be encounters which made her defensive.

So, it was Bright’s responsibility to clear my name now, however, lds number was unresponsive. I heard the recorded message every time I called him.

“The number you have dialed is not responding at the moment. Please try again later.”

Brich!!!

20 Clenching my fists, I found myself helplessly stuck in an awkward situation, even the sales girl at the store noticed my distress.

She changed the shoes and advised me, “Boyfriend trouble? Go catch him at his workplace, It’s n men’s favorite hobby ignore their partner’s calls, ma’am.”

A free relationship advice from a sales girl was a reminder that we all were facing almost identical issues with men. I strolled towards the parking lot while pondering over my options.

Should I wait for the evening or send angry y texts on his col? Or call Bright’s assistant? Or go to his office?

Ugh!

The problem of Bright’s mom fucked my brain, seizing its proper functioning couldn’t even register a presence around me and collided with a man in the parking lot. I hit the steel muscles and lost my footing for a brief money apologizing instantly, I’m so sorry, sir! It was an accident-

“What a coincidence, running into you here, Laura”
