Chapter 51 Psychotic Wife

Vivica started panicking. She cried harder to divert her mother’s anger and replied, “Mom, you don't understand. Preston was just keeping me company. However, his psychotic wife saw us in the corridor and completely snapped.She was hiding out in a private suite with another man, and she flew into a jealous rage to cover up her own guilt.She marched right up to me, insulted our family name, and slapped me across the face, Mom. Preston tried to protect me from her, but she is an unhinged psycho. You have to ruin her for what she did to my face.”Her mother was so angry that she pushed her out of her arms and asked, “He was keeping you company? Have you lost your mind, Vivica? How could you go out to high-end establishments with a married man? You have crossed the line, Vivica.”Vivica wailed dramatically, gripping her mother’s hands, and she pleaded, “Mom, please listen to me. Preston is the victim here, too. His placeholder wife has always hated me because she is just a poor peasant w

Chapter 52 Venomous Arrogance

Mrs Cartwright wiped tears from her eyes and replied, “Your sister fainted, but your brother refused to give her a helping hand, citing that she was faking it.I got angry, and I threw a shoe at him. However, I didn’t mean to hurt your brother, my son. I thought he would dodge.”Hiram grabbed tissues, then he wiped the blood on his brother’s face, and he asked, “Do you want me to take you to the hospital, brother?”Patrice shook his head, but he took the tissues from his eldest brother’s hand and wiped the blood from his face.Hiram looked at him and said, “I have been calling you for the last thirty minutes. Why didn’t you pick up your phone, Patrice?”Patrice pulled his phone from his suit jacket and replied, “Your beloved baby sister smashed my phone when I was trying to call the manager of His Wings restaurant.She told us that Preston’s wife assaulted her without any provocation. Hence, I wanted the surveillance footage to avenge her.”Hiram looked at his brother with a confused e

Chapter 53 Healing Silence

At His Wings restaurant, the atmosphere in the private suite was filled with a warm, lingering serenity. Jason stood up to pull back her chair, his eyes fixed on her with unshakeable devotion as she adjusted her backless red dress.Jason walked her out to the waiting valet, his hand mindfully shielding her head as she slid into the luxurious passenger seat of his sleek Maybach.The ride back to her apartment building was filled with a comfortable, healing silence; a beautiful memory that Jason would hold close to his heart forever.When they arrived at Brooklyn’s apartment, Jason gave her a warm, lingering smile, quietly wishing he could freeze time just to spend a few more minutes in her presence.Jason stepped gracefully out of the car and walked around to the passenger side. He pulled the door open and reached out his hand.Brooklyn placed her palm in his hand, a radiant smile breaking across her face as she warmly thanked him.Standing at her doorstep, Jason softly bade her farewel

Chapter 54 Medical Prodigy

At that moment, Mr James Senior walked into the living room, his commanding strides instantly silencing the family feud. He had just concluded a strategic discussion with Judge Carter regarding his grandson’s mandatory counselling.They agreed to delay the state psychologist’s evaluation of his grandson and his granddaughter-in-law for the time being.Judge Carter indicated that no judge would grant a dissolution of the marriage until the couple completed their mandatory counselling.Mr James Senior’s steps halted; his stern gaze fixed on his family. He immediately noticed the intense panic written across his granddaughter Ziva's and his daughter-in-law's faces.He looked at them with unshakeable authority, his presence forcing them into a terrified stillness, and he said, “I heard you shouting at each other from the driveway. What is going on, Ruby?”Ruby shot her daughter a cold glare before turning to her father-in-law, and she replied, forcing her voice to remain steady, “It’s noth

Chapter 55 Kind of Fury

The moment Jason arrived home, his mother smiled brightly, and she asked, “How was your lunch with your lady friend, Son?”Jason looked at his mother with sadness in his eyes and replied, “Vivica insulted me in front of my friend, Mom.”Then he calmly handed his grandfather the restaurant's surveillance footage. The atmosphere in the living room shifted dramatically after they watched the surveillance footage.A surge of anger flared in his grandfather’s heart, so he pulled out his phone and dialled Mr Cartwright Senior’s number. When the call was connected, he said, “Grayson, you have to give me an explanation regarding your granddaughter’s behaviour.”Mr Cartwright Senior was completely caught off guard; the sheer venom in his old friend's voice caused him to freeze, and he asked, “What are you talking about, Benjamin?What on earth did Vivica do to provoke this kind of fury, old friend? If she has caused a scene, I assure you I will get to the bottom of it.” Then they hung up.Mr Ca

Chapter 56 Stranger

Vivica emerged ten minutes later, deliberately moving at a snail's pace to assert her independence. She stepped into the living room, folded her arms across her chest in a defiant posture, and asked, “Are you looking for me, Daddy?”Her father didn't tolerate her smug demeanour for a second, and he barked with terrifying authority, “Sit down.”A flicker of irritation immediately crossed Vivica's face, her jaw tightening as she replied flatly, “I’d rather stand.”Before her father could erupt, her grandfather’s cane came down on the marble floor with a sharp, deafening thud.He shot her a cold gaze, and he commanded, his authority instantly freezing the room, “You will sit when your father tells you to sit, Vivica. You have been breaking your sacred promises to this family and dragging our name through the gutter.You will drop that arrogant posture this instant, or I will have security remove your assets from this estate before the sun sets.”Vivica glared back at her grandfather, her

Chapter 57 Deep-Seated Arrogance

Hiram and his brother, Patrice, walked calmly into the living room and greeted the elders with respect.Patrice looked at his grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I support your decision to teach my sister a lesson. However, the Cartwright family is not heartless; we always protect our own.Please allow her to take a bag of clothes and her phone so she can at least secure a safe place to stay.”A rare, proud smile broke across their grandfather's face as he looked at Patrice, and he replied, “Thank you, my precious grandson, for reminding me about Ubuntu.He then turned to his daughter-in-law, and he said, his voice dropping back to an authoritative frequency, “Vivian, go upstairs and pack a basic travel bag for Vivica. Give it to the bodyguard to take outside, along with her phone.”A look of pure astonishment crossed Vivian's pale face, completely moved by her second son’s capacity for mercy despite the bleeding wound on his forehead.She wiped her tear-stained cheeks, quickly composed he

Chapter 58 Black Card

Vivica completely broke down, her fragile shield of arrogance shattering into pieces, and she wailed, her bloodshot eyes pleading for a shred of his affection, “Grandpa disowned me, Preston.They watched the restaurant surveillance footage and found out everything. Then Grandpa demanded that I offer a formal apology to the Ashford family for what happened at lunch, but I refused. I told them I would never apologize for telling the truth.Grandpa stripped me of the Cartwright name, liquidated my trust funds, and had his elite bodyguards physically escort me off the property like common street trash.I don’t have a cent to my name, and I am wearing nothing but this thin dress and sandals. I sacrificed my entire empire for you, my love. You can't turn your back on me too.”Preston looked at his lover, his expression hardening into stone. The sympathy that had briefly flickered in his eyes completely vanished, replaced by a calculating scrutiny, and he stated flatly, “I am deeply sorry tha

Chapter 59 Jason's Birthday Dinner

At the grand Ashford family estate, Mr Ashford Senior sat in the lavishly decorated living room with the prominent members of the Cartwright family. The atmosphere was thick with tension.Mr Cartwright Senior looked across the room at his lifelong friend and said, his voice heavy with deep remorse, "Benjamin, please accept my family's sincerest apologies for the disgrace my granddaughter caused.I have already taken drastic measures and punished her severely for her actions.”Mr Ashford Senior slowly set down his porcelain teacup, the slight clink against the saucer sounding like a gavel in the quiet, lavish room.He looked at his old friend with an unreadable expression, his voice dripping with quiet authority, “Grayson, we have been friends for a long time, so I appreciate you coming here personally.Your granddaughter didn't just cause a scene; she reopened wounds we have spent three years trying to heal.However, I am glad you handled it severely, because the Ashford family will no

Chapter 60 Pure Rage

At Preston’s mansion, Preston walked into the guest room carrying his wife’s brand-new silk pyjamas and neatly placed them on the edge of the bed. He stood there, silently staring down at Vivica for a long time before finally turning around and leaving the room.The moment the door clicked shut, Vivica opened her eyes, a faint, knowing smile playing on her lips.She picked up the pyjamas and pressed them tightly against her chest, grinning from ear to ear. She silently vowed right then and there that she would do whatever it took to kick that peasant wife completely out of the mansion.The following morning, Vivica walked to the bathroom to wash her face and brushed her teeth. Then she walked into the living room deliberately dressed in Brooklyn's pyjamas.Butler Stewart smiled broadly the moment he saw her approach; he bowed politely, and he said warmly, “Good morning, Miss Cartwright. Did you sleep well?”As a loyal household employee, Butler Stewart already recognised Vivica as his
