After Divorce, I Married Into the Most Powerful Family의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Medea straightened her back.She looked coldly at the seemingly loving mother and daughter before her and said icily, “So because she’s young, that gives her the right to touch other people’s things whenever she wants?”At that moment, Sharon suddenly noticed Medea’s badly swollen right hand.She immediately let go of Annie and grabbed Medea’s injured hand instead, lowering herself into an apologetic posture.“Miss Watts, I’m sorry. This is all our fault. We never should’ve come…”Her fingers deliberately pressed against the most painful spot in Medea’s palm.The sharp, piercing pain shot straight through her nerves. Almost instinctively, Medea violently flung Sharon’s hand away.“Ah!”Sharon cried out as her body went limp, falling dramatically onto the floor.“Mommy!”Annie screamed and charged forward like a mad child, pounding her tiny fists against Medea’s legs.“You bad woman! You hit my mommy! You want to kill my mommy!”“That’s enough!”Gordon finally stepped forward and scoop

If he apologized to Medea too often, it would start to look as though he was the one lowering his head and admitting fault.Besides, even if she suffered grievances at the Watts family estate, she still should not have taken her anger out on a child tonight, nor should she have pushed Sharon.After spreading the last bit of ointment evenly across her palm, Gordon finally released her hand.With a trace of reproach in his voice, he said, “Medea, I know you were wronged tonight. But if something happens to you outside in the future, you can tell me directly. I’ll handle it for you. Don’t take your anger out on other people.”Medea responded flatly, “Alright.”Then she lowered her lashes, looking at her freshly bandaged hand as she softly said, “I’m tired. I want to rest.”A suffocating heaviness settled in Gordon’s chest.He imagined her arguing with him, even fighting back, but never this calm indifference.His gaze drifted toward the large bed nearby, and Hedworth’s repeated hints abou

After Medea turned down the offer at Bellmont Manor, the realtor hurriedly brought her to another villa — the one Gordon arranged for her to see.This property was even grander than the one at Bellmont Manor. It was a luxurious standalone estate with its own private grounds and lavish interior design.Medea had barely reached the entrance with the realtor when she ran straight into Gordon’s aunt, Clara Begum.“Aunt Clara.”Medea stopped and greeted her politely.Clara’s critical gaze swept over Medea from head to toe before settling on the realtor behind her. With a fake smile, she asked, “Medea, what are you doing here?”Before Medea could answer, the clueless realtor eagerly spoke up first.“Miss Watts is here to view the property. She’s looking to rent a place for her studio.”“Viewing a property?”Clara let out a meaningful laugh.“Oh my, you and Gordon really are an amusing couple.“If you wanted one of Gordon’s properties, why not just ask him directly? Why go through all this t

His sharp gaze shot toward Medea as he demanded without hesitation, “Medea, was this your doing?!”“It wasn’t.” Medea forced her voice to remain calm. “I only came back today to pick up some documents. I was here for less than a few minutes. When exactly would I have had time to target a child?”As she spoke, she took the documents out of her bag, wanting to prove that she had only returned home to retrieve them.But Sharon suddenly seemed to snap.Like a madwoman, she rushed forward and slapped the documents out of Medea’s hand.“You planned this from the beginning!” she screamed hysterically. “Annie accidentally offended you before, and you’ve held a grudge ever since. That’s why you waited until I wasn’t around to hurt her like this!”The documents slipped from her hands and scattered across the floor with a sharp rustle.Medea kept her expression blank as she gathered the scattered documents one by one and gripped them tightly in her hands.When she raised her eyes again, all war

Gordon became more convinced than ever that he had simply been too indulgent with Medea all these years, which was exactly why she grew so arrogant and unreasonable.It was time to teach her a proper lesson.She needed to understand that only by behaving like a proper Mrs. Begum could she continue keeping everything she currently had.With that thought in mind, Gordon’s expression darkened as he pulled out his phone and directly called his assistant.“Contact the bank and freeze every account under Medea Watts’s name immediately.”What he failed to notice, however, was the triumphant glance Sharon and Annie exchanged from the hospital bed behind him.…Medea dragged her exhausted body back to the studio and handed over the documents that had caused all the trouble to May, who was waiting there.“Thanks for your hard work, Miss Watts.” May accepted the documents without daring to ask why Medea’s face looked so pale.After May left for the business registration office, Medea remained si
