All Chapters of Wasted Tears: Chapter 51 - Chapter 57

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

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

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

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.
