Ex-Husband Got Crazy When I Disappear

Chapter 54 Sophia and Joanna openly flaunted their gold digging nature , and it was honestly shocking .

I never invited you two here , I walked in and said , my tone as cold as ice .

Yosef wasnt even around , so there was no need for me to play nice with The living room fell silent for a moment .

When Sophia and Joanna saw me , their smiles instantly vanished , replaced by an air of supreme Arrogance .

Your dad sent me to check on you and brought you some gifts .

Is this how you treat us ? Sophia said .

Yvonne , my mom did this out of kindness .

How could you be so rude ? Joanna shot up , taking the high moral ground to criticize me under the pretense of defending her mother I rubbed my temples .

Dealing with the Parkers and the company was already giving me a headache , and I needed to have a chat with Marlon about a collaboration , I really didnt have the time for this Alright , what do you want ? I plopped down on one side of the couch , ready to finish this quickly .

Joanna and Sophia exchanged a glance , as if they had agreed on a tactic , before they said in unison , We heard the Parkers gave you a cruise ship ! Your dads birthday is coming up soon , and I thought Id throw him a nice party so we need to borrow the cruise for that .

Lahnst laughed out loud .

They really were after the cruise , using my dads birthday as an excuse ! If I said no , theyd call me stingy ; if I said yes , they would definitely find countless reasons to keep the cruise for themselves .

Either way , Sophia and Joanna would walk away with all the benefits .

I fell silent for a moment , and Joanna couldnt hold back any longer , pressuring me .

Why aren 1 you saying anything ? Are you refusing ? Sophia sighed dramatically , Oh , your dad has cared for you all these years .

Who would have thought you wouldnt even help out thing ? People think youre so devoted , but As she spoke , she started to sigh again , and the surrounding staff couldnt help but shoot me puzzled looks .

with this little I raised an eyebrow .

This was clearly Sophias plan .

She had come to Rosy House just to try and force me to agree in front of everyone .

Too bad she didnt know I had gotten used to being scolded over the years .

My reputation was already in tatters did I really care if it got worse ? Its not that I dont want to help , its just that the cruise is with Hayden now .

You know , hes about to divorce me .

What authority do I even have ? I replied Right then , I suddenly switched gears and looked at Joanna .

Arent you Haydens one true love ? So devoted and all why dont you just ask him yourself ? I tossed the battle right over to Hayslen The cruise wasnt even mine : 1 had no plans to keep it .

If they wanted to make a play for it , they could deal with Hayden and didnt need to pin this Joanna and Sophia clearly werent expecting that the cruise wasnt with me , and they exchanged another glance , their earlier composure slipping away .

After a moment of silence , Sophia turned to Joanna , Why didnt you tell me ? I didnt know ! Joanna replied , looking utterly confused In the past few days , Hayden had reportedly spent significantly less time with her , so even if she wanted to ask , she didnt have the chance .

I casually observed them for a moment before slowly saying .

Everything is clear now .

You can leave .

Sophias face stiffened , probably feeling embarrassed .

She immediately turned gloomy and started throwing a tantrum .

Do you not like me ? I came all this way to see you and talk , and now you want me to leave .

Even though Im your stepmother , this really hurts my feelings ! By the end of her statement , her voice cracked , sounding like she was about to cry .

Her r ruckus attracted more and more puzzled onlookers among the servants .

Whats going on ? Did Mrs.

Parker get herself a stepmother ? 1/2 Chapter 54 Look at how upset this stepmother is .

She must have it rough Why is Mrs.

Parker crying so hard … ? Sophia picked up on their murmurs and began to sob even louder .

Joanna stood beside her , glaring at me with fury .

Yvonne ! My mom is still your elder ! How could you treat her like this ! Whats your point ? Should I worship her and burn incense for her ? I retorted , entirely dismissive .

Sophia might have had her way in the Jackson family , and Joanna might have played innocent in front of Hayden , but this was my house .

There was no way I would let them get away with this nonsense .

You … Sophia immediately started to gag for air , as if I had absolutely shocked her Joanna patted her back , her voice now even louder .

Yvonne ! Are you trying to make my mom have a heart attack ? Shes pregnant ! Do you have any sense of decency left ! They were not going to let it go that easily just as I was about to respond , Deborahs voice boomed from behind .

Whos making all that noise ? you have any manners ! Her tone was commanding , and everyone in the living room froze .

Dont I was initially surprised to see Deborah , but then I noticed Rita supporting her and immediately understood why she was there .

Sophia , not knowing who Deborah was , snapped back at the accusation .

Who are you , old lady ? She was currently carrying the Jackson familys heir .

Who dared to be so audacious ? I couldnt believe my ears .

Dont let Deborahs age fool you ; she was definitely not someone ine you could mess with .

Sophia was about to be in deep trouble .

Just as I suspected , Deborahs expression quickly turned icy , and she scolded Rita .

What kind of idiots are you bringing into the house ? Is there no sense of decorum anymore ? It sounded like she was scolding Rita , but her words were actually aimed at Sophia and Joanna .

Joanna got flustered and retorted , Who are you calling idion My mom is Yvonnes stepmotherf Deborah then turned her gaze to me , her eyes full of questions .

I had no choice but to step forward and respectfully say , Grandma , she is my fathers second wife .

You dont need to pay her any mind .

The first part of my statement acknowledged Sophias identity , while the latter was meant to inform Deborah that they were not worth paying any attention to , Sophia picked up on a tone of condescension in my words , Grandma ! Whose grandma ? I ulima Didnt y it your dad say your grandparents passed away ? Shes Haydens Grandma .

I answered , chuckling coldly .

As soon as those words left my mouth .

Sophia and Joanna froze completely .

They Plans to target the Parker family , and now that a member of the family stood right in front of them , their attitude shifted dramatically They must have been regretting their choices at this very moment ..

Joanna took a shocked step back , nearly tripping .

She looked at Deborah in disbelief .

How could she be Haydens grandma ! She had heard that Deborah lived in a church away from worldly affairs .

How could Deborah show up here ? Joannas earlier rudeness hd ruined any chance of a good first impression Now how could she marry into the Parker family ! I I didnt know it was you .

Mr.

Parker often talks about you .

Its lovely to finally meet you ! Joanna tried to force a smile , desperately attempting to make up for her earlier slip up .
