Gerald said, “Back then, Damien didn’t even inform me about the divorce. Now that he wants to cancel his wedding with Aurora, he won’t even care about my opinion.”“How is that the same?!”Diana’s voice was shrill and not as gentle as usual. “Damien doesn’t love Maureen Ashford at all. He and Aurora are childhood sweethearts. They have deep feelings for each other!”“Right. I really don’t understand why your niece is still not satisfied when they have such deep feelings for each other. Why can’t she just be content and wait for Damien to marry her? Instead, she insists on finding trouble with Ms. Ashford. What your niece did tonight by tattling in front of Richard before understanding the situation is what’s embarrassing to the Vance family! There is absolutely no way I will help her in this matter. I won’t intervene in her marriage with Damien anymore.”Gerald thought of his mother mocking him and felt stuffy in his chest. He glared at Aurora and added, “If I had known that you’d cau

Damien felt a thin layer of sweat break out on his forehead. He held his right forearm firmly with his left hand, but he still could not control his trembling hand.The ballpoint pen fell to the floor.Maureen found it strange, so she observed him carefully.Damien looked slightly haggard. His black hair was a bit tousled, and there was some dust on his black suit. His collar and placket seemed dirty too.What did he do? Why did he look so unkempt?Maureen was full of doubts. She bent over to pick up the pen and pushed it in front of him.Finally, both forms were signed. The staff completed the formalities and stamped the certificates.Their divorce was finalized at last.“I wish you both a happy, independent life after separation.”After coming out of City Hall, Maureen looked at the divorce certificate in her hand and had mixed feelings.This was dragged out for so long that she no longer felt the heartbreaking pain when Damien had forced her to sign the divorce agreement before. Sh

“Yes, of course!” Amelia replied. “Then I’ll go with Ms. Maureen.” Steven’s smile was warm, like a boy next door. Steven watched Maureen and Amelia grow up. He still had a vivid memory of Amelia when she was six or seven years old. Back then, Amelia followed Maureen everywhere with a lollipop in her mouth and snot flowing out of her nose. Bella did not think much of Amelia’s reaction because Amelia was shy and blushed easily. Amelia’s skin was also clear and rosy all the time. What Maureen did not know was that Amelia had been crushing on Steven for seven years. “Let’s go! I’m hungry. I’ve been craving Aunt Katherine's cooking for many days. Let’s feast!” Maureen held her sister’s delicate hand and walked into the villa. “My mom is still cooking. You arrived too early, so dinner’s not ready yet.” Amelia shook her sister’s arm, just like she did when she was a child. “Oh, no! But I’m starving!” Maureen’s stomach growled. “Ms. Maureen, why don’t you have a snack first?” Steven

“A list of blind dates.” Richard smiled slyly. Everyone was shocked. Amelia, who had always been graceful, was so shocked that she dropped her fork to the floor. Ethan almost spat out a mouthful of coffee, which he had choked on until his face turned red. “Dad!” Maureen quickly stood up and raised her eyebrows. “Are you taking revenge on me? You’re so petty!” “A great man has to be ruthless.” Richard took a sip of coffee calmly and said, “Besides, you are my daughter. Why would I take revenge on you? You’re divorced now, so even if you keep a low profile, you probably won’t be able to hide it for long. If this spreads among the elites, everyone will laugh at you. Damien is marrying someone new soon after divorcing you. As your father, I must play Cupid for you and make sure you have everything that bastard has!” “If he has a brain disease, should I get that too?” Maureen sneered, feeling infuriated. “Anyway, I’ve decided. I asked Quentin to sort out this list last night, whic

Maureen just felt weird and awkward, as if a million little ants were crawling along her ankles and up her calves. This belated tenderness was sour, like expired milk. Maureen took out her phone and called Steven. “Steve, I’m at Vance Manor. Come and pick me up now.” “What?!” Steven was shocked. “Why are you there?!” “Sigh, it’s a long story. Come here first. I’ll tell you about it later.” After hanging up the phone, Maureen walked straight upstairs. She did not want to stay in this house for too long, so she wanted to pack up her costumes and leave as soon as Steven arrived. The room she used to stay in was not too far from Lily’s room. She asked the servant about Lily’s whereabouts and thought of going over to see her. As soon as Maureen walked to the door of Lily’s room, she heard Kylie’s shrill voice coming from inside. “You little bitch! What on earth did you and Mr. Hoffman do at Grandma’s birthday party that day?! Tell me now!” “Nothing… Really…” Lily’s crying voice
