Chapter 101
He had already spoken with Nevin and learned why Hayden had started treating Joanna differently. It was because of that brief fling they had abroad.
But why is Lucy now saying that Yvonne has also taken care of Hayden Did they meet each other while they were abroad? How come Hayden never mentioned this? be wondered.
Lucy, her mind still racing and her chest sore from the seatbelt, muttered, “You’re crazy, I’m never getting in your car again.
Yasir, clearly impatient, raised his voice again. “Is what you just said true!”
“What Lucy blinked, startled by his tone
She quickly tried to recall if she had said anything too harsh to make him so upset,
After thinking for a moment, she realized she hadn’t said anything offensive. She had just repeated what happened with Yvonne
But that was the truth, so there shouldn’t be any problem saying it.
After a couple of coughs, she said, “Yeah, it’s true. Hayden wouldn’t just forget about it, would he? Joanna took care of him, and he was all grateful.
“But Yvonne took care of him, and he repaid her with cruelty? The world can’t be this unfair, right?”
Hearing this, Yasir seemed to hold his breath. “Yeah, but didn’t Nevin tell me that Yvonne completely ignored Mr. Parker?”
“Ignored him? When? Lucy was taken aback,
Yasir’s mind was racing. He immediately restarted the car. I need to go talk towerker.”.
“Talk to him about what! Just drop me off at home first. Lucy cried out, but the car had already taken off.
With a sharp whoosh, the night was cut open as the car sped away.
At Rosy House, just as I entered, ready to head upstairs, the thaid approached me “Mrs. Parker, Layla’s here. She’s waiting for you in the living
room.
I paused and glanced toward the sofa. As expected, there she was, radiating a cold, almost menacing energy,
Oh my, only she could do this, coming here so late. Such a rude lady, I thought to myself.
Taking a deep breath, I slowly walked into the living room
“It’s late. Do you need something?” I asked, my tone calm, no tension, no more of the obsequiousness I used to have
When Layla heard my voice, she looked up at me.
“Yvonne, don’t think just because Mrs. Parker is backing you, you can do whatever you want, she started with a sharp threat, instantly making the atmosphere tense.
I raised an eyebrow. I recalled that back at the Parker residence, Deborah had indeed spoken up for me,
It seemed that was the source of Layla’s irritation.
“Mrs. Parker is just sympathetic. She doesn’t want you all to keep bullying me,” I replied with a faint smile, sitting down across from Layla.
The soda was soft, but the person across from me was anything bus.
Imph, you shamelessly chased after Hayden, trying to win me over, and now you’ve forgotten all about it? Layla sneered, casting me a dismissive glance, as though I were some lowly animal.
Her eyes made me feel irritated, but I kept my expression steady.
“I was wrong before, and I’m trying to change,” I said, the smile still on my lips as I met her gaze unwaveringly.
“Such a sharp tongue, Layla muttered, shifting her posture. She crossed her legs, revealing her long, slender heels. “But Hayden still doesn’t care

about you. You saw it yourself. Hayden brought Joanna home. If you’re smart, you’ll leave and stop lingering around him.”
I’d heard similar words for years, and I was practically immune to them.
I used to think I’d be happy just to marry Hayden, never realizing how much I was giving up.
But now, hearing it again, I felt a strange, bittersweet pang in my heart
It wasn’t because I was still being looked down on. It was because I pitied my former self, who had been so foolish.
For love, 1 had been willing to abandon my own dignity
1 curled my lips into a smile and leaned forward, opening the small drawer under the coffee table. I pulled out two divorce agreements and threw them in front of Layla
“I’ve signed both of these, I said slowly, word by word, looking directly at her. “It’s Hayden who’s been shamelessly refusing to divorce me.”
Layla froze for a moment, then quickly grabbed the papers. She stared at them for several minutes before looking back at me with a dazed
expression.
I decided to stop holding back. I sank deeply into the couch, letting out a long sigh. “Now, I don’t even want him anymore. You better tell him to get lost and stop bothering me
Layla’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.
It took her a while to react, but once she did, she jumped to her feet, pointing at me, her fingers trembling. “You, you…”
“Calm down,” I said with a smile, giving her a friendly warning. “At your age, your blood pressure might rise too high, and your veins could burst
found great satisfaction in serine her flustered, remembering all the times she had been so critical of me in the past.
“You wait I’ll make sure Hayden signs the papers. You’ll regret this,” she snapped, furiously grabbing the papers and stomping out of the room in her high heel
I watched her leave, a sense of relief washing over me
Is Hayden finally going to sign the papers? Well, good. That way, I can truly be free, I wondered
After a few moments of sitting back on the coach, I stood up and headed upstairs. “Tell Rita I’m going to take a bath.”
Usually, Rita would take care of these things for me, and I had gotten used in it.
The
he maid followed a couple of steps behind me. “Mrs Parker, Rita is still at the Parker residence. I’ll prepare it for you”
I paused for a moment, then said, “No need. I’ll do it myself!
Others might not know my preferences, and I decided to prepare it myself
From now on, I would have to get used to living on my own.
The Parker family and everything about them were no longer my corem.
At Twilight Bar, Yasir drove like a madman, getting Lucy to the location as quickly as possible.
When the car finally stopped, Lucy pecked out and, seeing the har, frowned. “Why’d you bring the here? I told you to take me home
“I need to confirm something Erst. Get out of the car, Yasir said, stepping out of the car himself. When Lucy didn’t move, he walked around the car and opened her door. Get our
“I’m not getting out.” Lucy instinctively crossed her arms over her chest, her face full of suspicion. Tim Yvonne’s friend. If you mess with me, you’ll be done for Yvonne is the most loyal person I know”
It was late at night, and she was going to a bar with a man she didn’t know very well. She had to be cautious.
If anything went wrong, it would be something she would regret for the rest of her life.
Sering how defensive she was. Yasir sighed in frustration and rubbed his forehead. “What’s going through your head? Just get out of the car already.”
