Chapter 17

“Ms. Richmond, how bold of you! Believe it or not, I could have my son talk to the person behind you, and you’d be out of the industry by tomorrow.” Gwen’s words dripped with malice.

Upon hearing this. Cassidy almost burst out laughing. “Go ahead, old witch. If I can’t stand my ground in the entertainment. industry tomorrow, I’ll apologize to you in person!”

“Were were you raised by wolves?” Gwen’s Lace turned livid with anger as she stammered.

“It depends on who I’m speaking to. You, an old witch, don’t fall into the human category, so there’s no need for me to treat you nicely.” Cassidy shot back ruthlessly.

All these years, Gwen had always suppressed Lenora, and Katelyn consistently flattered her, so she thought everyone was truly afraid of her. Now that she had run into Cassidy, who was as thomy as they come, Gwen’s face alternated between red and ashen with anger.

She couldn’t outtalk Cassidy, and while Lenora used to argue bark, Lenora never dared to be so bold,

So Gwen directed her gaze toward Lenora sitting on the sofa. “Is this the friend you associate with? Climbing the ladder through men with no manners or morals! No wonder you two get along. You’re fundamentally the same.”

Lenora’s face turned icy in an instant. She stood up directly, looking at Gwen with disdain. “No matter how bad we are, we wouldn’t abandon our husband and children like you.”

Everyone in Hobart City knew about Gwen’s extramarital affair and her departure with a sum of money, though few dared to mention it nowadays, and Gwen was almost deluding herself into thinking it had passed..

Lenora suddenly brought it up today, which was like stripping her bare on the street

Gwen was not simple in her youth, but over the years, she had teamed to disguise herself to conform to the expectations of the elite, who greatly valued prestige.

Now that Lenora had exposed her old secrets, she had no regard for any elegance or decorum, grabbing a nearby clothes hanger and throwing it at Lenora. “You slut, shut up!” she roared

Lenora dodged the clothes hanger, and Cassidy was startled, quickly stepping in front of Lenora. “You old witch, how dare you!”

Lenora pulled Cassidy aside, smirked at Katelyn, and took out her phone to call Harley’s secretary,

Matthew had just stepped out of the meeting room when he received the unexpected call. Seeing the caller ID, he was taken aback and quickly pressed the answer button. “Ms. Maynard?”

“It’s me. Get Harley to the Glover Pines on the fourth floor of Halm Square to get rid of his old witch mother and his new bitchy fling. I give you half an hour. Don’t blame me if you’re late!”

“Ms. Maynard, what- Before Matthew could ask what was going on, Lenora had already hung up.

He looked down at his screen, which showed the call had lasted just ten seconds and was momentarily stunned.

This was his first time witnessing the rage side of Lenora, in his memory, Lenora had always been gentle and poised. Married to Harley for three years, she had never gotten angry.

“The old witch mother is Gwen. And that bitchy fling, most likely is Katelyn, the hottest choice for Harley’s recent engagement Matthew instantly caught on and quickly knocked on the door of Harley’s office.

“Speak, Harley started coldly, signing documents with a frosty face.

Chapter 17

Matthew gritted his teeth, replying, “Ms. Maynard just called me

Flipping through the documents, Harley suddenly paused and looked up at him, “Oh, what did she say?”

She regretted the divorce? Hmph. There was no way I would remarry a woman like her, he sneered inwardly.

Matthew had no idea what Harley was thinking, but he knew he couldn’t just repeat what Lenora had said. So he had to rephrase it. “Today, Mrs. Brandt went shopping with Miss Sheppard, and it seems they ran into Ms. Maynard, leading to a bit of a conflict. Are you going to take a look?”

A sharp crack echoed in Harley’s mind, making him feel as if Lenora had just delivered a stinging slap. This slap was intangible, yet it was more embarrassing than a real one.

His face darkened as he coldly glanced at Matthew. “Why would I?

Matthew stiffened, standing there with a prickling sensation on his scalp under Harley’s gaze. But Lenora’s words earlier. didn’t seem like a joke. Over the past period, he had heard a lot about Lenora and found that this former Mrs. Brandt was not quite as he had imagined.

“Mr. Brandt, it seems that Ms. Maynard is very angry. Maybe you should go take a look.”

Harley put down the pen in his hand, asking. “What exactly did she say?”

Matthew trembled slightly, stuttering, “I, I dare not say.”

“Savit

“Ms. Maynard said to have you come to the Clover Pines on the fourth floor of Holm Square and get rid of your old witch mom and bitchy fling. She gave you half an hour, and if you’re late, she may do something rude.”

It must be said that Matthew was a qualified secretary, capable of repeating such a complex and awkward sentence completely accurately.

But as soon as he finished, Harley’s expression became more than just frightening

Harley’s temples throbbed violently. Each word from Lenora fell like a thorn, pricking him.

He had always disliked getting involved in these women’s matters, but today, he couldn’t help himself. “Get the car!”

“Yes, Mr. Brandt” Matthew breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped out to arrange for a car, fearing Harley might change his mind.

At the same time, Lenora had just managed to calm down Cassidy. She looked directly at Katelyn. “Miss Sheppard, it seems. you really have too much free time. If you enjoy causing trouble so much, then I’ll oblige you.”

With a pause, she added, “I’ve already informed Harley’s secretary to have him come over. Gwen you suspect I took money from Harley when we divorced, right? Let your son tell you himself whether I took any of your money or not.

“And Miss Sheppard, since you dared not approach Harley and came to me instead, I’ll solve your problem as well today.”

Gwen was so furious she had lost her mind. She was hit in the face with clothes thrown by Cassidy. If it weren’t for Katelyn restraining her, she probably would have started a fight with Cassidy,

Hearing Harley from Lenora, Gwen calmed down a lot, humphing coldly while tidying her appearance. “That’s perfect. We should clarify things once and for all.”

Seeing both sides finally calm down, the shop assistant quickly separated them and soothed each group separately.

Chapter 17

The square was not far from Telford Enterprise, so Harley arrived soon.

As soon as he entered the shop, his eyes fell on Lenora sitting next to Cassidy. Lenora was wearing a simple, waist–tied long dress today, and despite sitting, her graceful figure couldn’t be unconcealed.

Seeing him, Lenora immediately stood up and walked coldly to him. “I know that Mr. Brandt is a busy man with important affairs, but regarding our divorce, you should give your family an explanation lest they hound me like leeches. It’s disgusting
