‘Mistress fought Marianne Colister on the street after successfully securing the attention of Thaddeus Fontaine, CEO of Timez Group. The identity of the mistress will be revealed soon. Stay tuned…’ Mona never would have thought her name would be trending like this. Someone had posted a video of her confronting Marianne in front of the hospital. It was shot from a distance, so only the actions were shown and not the conversation. The five-minute video went viral on all platforms. Netizens were already filling in the gaps with their wild imaginations on how two women fought for money and power. To the public, Marianne was the girlfriend and Mona was the arrogant mistress. The most eye-catching part was where Mona slapped Marianne and Marianne being too afraid to retaliate. It really looked like the mistress finally disqualified the girlfriend and won the man’s heart. Mona went through some articles before she explained to Luke, “It’s not like that. There was just a misunderst
Mona felt like she used to practice medicine even though Victor had told her that she used to be from a fashion design background. …Later that night, the hospital corridor quieted down, amplifying the footsteps that would step on it. A tall figure stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Marcus walked over and said quietly, "Master Fontaine, the matter of Marianne Colister has been settled. Madam... I mean, Mrs. Ortega won't be bothered anymore. “On another note, Master Cornwell hasn’t left the hospital either. He seems to have moved into Ms. Millie’s ward with Ms. Ortega.” The man did not turn around, but the atmosphere in the room started to get frosty and pressured. A hint of anger flashed in his squinted eyes. He had arranged a VIP ward for that woman because of Millie, not because he wanted them to have a family reunion. “Does Lady Eleanor know about this?” Marcus shook his head. “Master Cornwell told Lady Eleanor that he’s participating in a golf
Thaddeus's face was hidden in the shadows, veiling his emotions. “It’s late. Get some rest, Mr. Fontaine.” Mona did not want to linger. She walked past the man and avoided his gaze. Thaddeus, however, stopped her as soon as she took her first step, causing her to bump into his chest. It hurt as though she bumped into the wall! Thaddeus grabbed her wrist expressionless and checked the scald on her forearm. “Why didn’t you tell me about Marianne?” Mona curled her lips into a frivolous smile. One of the basic rules of divorce was not to interfere with each other’s life. After all, they were no longer husband and wife.“It was nothing big, and I didn’t want to trouble you.” Thaddeus narrowed his eyes. His gloomy gaze landed on her petite and delicate face. His nose picked up her alluring fragrance, causing him to gulp nervously. When they were together, the woman behaved like a pampered girl. She would cry for a day because of the smallest cut, afraid that it would l
Thaddeus looked really handsome. “I’m not going to marry him,” Mona argued. Thaddeus nodded elegantly. His eyes scanned her from top to bottom. “Are you just having some ‘fun’ with him, then?” Mona gritted her teeth. Why did all his words eventually lead to sex? “Mr. Fontaine, please mind your words.” Thaddeus pursed his lips in silence. His narrowed eyes shimmered as if he was trying to suppress a sudden urge from within. After an awkward silence, Mona moved to the side and left. Since they were divorced, there was no need for her to consider his emotions. Be it angry, or flirtatious, all she needed to do was keep herself from crossing the line. …Since Mona rejected Luke’s suggestion of garnering attention shamelessly, she was shelved and would remain as such in the foreseeable future. In other words, she would be out of work soon. Fortunately, she did not have to worry about money for now and could concentrate on accompanying her daughter. Mona decided not
“You’re trying to extort money from me, right? I’ve seen a lot of people like you. How much do you want? I’ll pay. Just get the hell out of the ward. Don’t delay my child’s treatment.” The lady wore arrogance on her face. Before Mona could recover from her shock, the lady pulled out a stack of money from her crocodile-skinned purse and tossed it in Mona’s face. As paper bills rained down on her, everyone else in the room was stunned. It was a blatant insult and provocation to Mona. It was then that the chief nurse of the VIP ward came over and said, “Mrs. Yorkshire, we have prepared another VIP ward for you and your child. The new one faces the East, so your child will be able to enjoy warm sunlight in the morning.” The lady finally calmed after hearing the chief nurse. She grabbed her purse to leave. Before she walked out of the room, she sized Mona up from top to bottom with brazen disgust. “Keep the money. It’s too filthy for me to even take back.” Mona was left st
Bobby released Millie and bent down to pick up the money the lady tossed early. He counted. There were a total of twenty thousand! He remembered seeing a branded bag in his mother’s shopping cart the other day. With the money, he could buy a present for his mother! Bobby kept the money in his bag before he brought his sister out of the ward. “Come on. Let’s go avenge Mommy!” While Mona was away doing the discharge procedures, the kids found the lady’s new ward. Bobby knocked on the door, and the lady opened it. Looking at Bobby’s handsome and adorable face, the lady asked, “Who are you supposed to be?” Bobby flickered his eyes at the lady as if he was flirting with her.It worked! The frostiness on the lady’s face softened, and she curled her lips. “Handsome boy, are you here to visit Melanie? Come on in.” Bobby wore an innocent look on his face and smiled. “Auntie, can you squat down a bit? I have something to tell you.” Intrigued, the lady asked, “What is this
Thaddeus went to the chief nurse and asked where Millie went. Pressured by the man’s intimidation, she stammered as she revealed everything to him. The man was displeased at what he heard. “Where’s Millie’s doctor?” “Dr. Hancock is currently out on a trip,” the chief nurse said in a trembling voice. Thaddeus curled his lips as his eyes glared. “I told him to take good care of Millie! After what happened, I believe this is your negligence of duty. You won’t be needed if you can’t do your job well.” While the chief nurse was stunned, the man left. Looking at the man’s frosty figure, the chief nurse’s heart sank. It was just a single mother with two kids. Why was the man so concerned about her? Thaddeus walked out of the hospital and stood under the starry night. His handsome face had a layer of frost to it. He had kept that woman by his side for four years and raised her like a princess. She had never been mistreated. The only one who could make her cry was him, and tha
“You just need to find out what’s going on in his family, Mommy. I feel that Uncle Victor’s mommy seems to like to control him,” Bobby added. His observation was right. Uncle Victor had not gone to the hospital these past few days, so something must have happened at home. Mona did not know whether to cry or laugh. How old was her son? Why did he keep worrying about adults’ affairs? “Alright. Stop imagining things, and go to sleep.” While her son was not paying attention, Mona held his face and kissed him. “Mommy, you sneaked up on me.” “I gave birth to you, so what if I kissed you? Hmph. Go to sleep!” After saying that, Mona quickly turned off the light and went under the blanket to sleep with her two little babies beside her, breathing steadily and fast asleep. Mona let out a soft sigh of relief. ‘Marrying Victor? Forget about it.’ * The next afternoon, Mona went to pick up her children from school and went to the supermarket on the way. As she pushed her shopp
