Could it be something that Mom has left behind?’
Willow returned to the Vanderbilt manor and wanted to talk to her mother and come up with a solution
with her mother. Unexpectedly, she saw Stephen sitting on the couch with an obscure expression as
soon as she walked in.
And for some reason, her mother was kneeling on the side.
“Dad… What happened to Mom…”
“You still have the face to ask me that!?” Stephen was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up.“
You mother-and-daughter are really shameless. You actually have the guts to steal the bracelet that
belongs to Zee’s mother!?”
If Nolan had not called him and told him that Willow was pretending to be Marina’s daughter out there in
public, leading him to find out that the bracelet in the box had been missing, he might not have known
that his daughter would dare to go to this extent.
This was the first time that Madam Vanderbilt saw her son acting this ferociously, so she only sat there
and did not dare to say a thing.
Willow’s expression changed, and she held onto the opening of her sleeve subconsciously. “Dad… I
don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“How dare you deny it?” Stephen gnashed his teeth. “I dare you to tell me now, who’s your mother? Is it
Marina de Arma or Leila Scott!?”
Leila, who was kneeling on the floor, hugged Stephen’s thigh while crying her eyes out. “Dear, it’s my
fault, this is all my fault! Please forgive Willie for my sake!”
“You, get away from me!” Stephen kicked her away and pointed at her. “Your daughter doesn’t even want
t o recognize you as her biological mother, and she even has the balls to say such rebellious things. Do
you dare to tell me that this has nothing to do with you?”
“…” Leila did not expect Stephen to find out about it so quickly.
“This is all over.’
Stephen scolded Willow furiously. “Give the bracelet back! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being cold
blooded to you!”
“Dad, why must you treat me like this?” Willow roared hysterically. “I haven’t done anything wrong. I’ve
only taken her bracelet, why should I return it? Maisie has already snatched Nolan from me, so what’s
wrong with me taking her identity away!?”
Stephen grabbed the mug on the table and flung it at her.
The mug hit her cheek, and it reddened immediately.
Willow clutched her cheek while staring at him blankly. “You just hit me…” –
“Give the bracelet back!” Stephen’s eyes were filled with pure wrath.
Willow took off the bracelet and threw it to the floor angrily. The bracelet was smashed into pieces in an
instant.
“I hate you!” Willow ran out of the Vanderbilt manor without looking back.
Leila chased out hurriedly. “Willie!”
Stephen stepped forward heavily and picked up the shattered bracelet. It was something that he had
originally wanted to give to Maisie, but he did not expect…
I can’t even protect this bracelet.’ Madam Vanderbilt rolled her eyes. “Isn’t it just a bracelet? Look at you,
why must you create a scene out of this?”
“Mother, if you try to be nosy ever again, you should go back to our ancestral mansion.”
“You!” Madam Vanderbilt was stupefied.
Stephen’s eyes looked cold as he picked up the broken bracelet and went upstairs without uttering
another word to his mother.
Madam Vanderbilt was enraged, but she did not dare to vent her spleen.
‘My son, he’s rebelling!
The night sky was dim…
The windows of the car that was parked near the park were fogged, and Leila was lying in the arms of a
man with flushed cheeks.
Leila stopped the man as he approached her and wanted to leave a hickey on her. “You pervert! I’d kill
you if I were to be discovered by that old thing when I go home!”
After saying so, Leila picked up her clothes and put them on slowly.
The man lit a cigarette, opened the car’s window, started smoking, and snorted. “It seems that you’ve
been leading quite a life throughout all these years, especially after marrying Stephen Vanderbilt. I
thought you had forgotten all your old customers, including me.”
Leila’s expression instantly dimmed at the mention of the phrase “old customers”, but she did not reveal
a nannoyed expression.
