Their motherâs words shocked them. Beatrice yelled. âMom, what happened to you? Have you taken
your meds?â The person who didnât want the two to get back together the most was Beatrice. She
knew that Alex was Mask, the man who had stolen her heart. She even dreamed about doing the deed
with
him in a forest clearing last night. When she woke up, she felt quite wet down there. Since Alex and
Dorothy had gotten a divorce, she figured that it wouldnât be a problem if she were to date him
now.
Moreover, she believed that they havenât had sex during their marriage, so Dorothy wouldnât be able to
bash her for doing so. âYet Morn here wants them to get back together! Wouldnât that mean Iâd have no
chance?â Claire scolded her. âYouâre the one who hasnât taken your meds! Do you think Iâve gone
mad?â Beatrice said, âWhy would you want them to remarry if you havenât? You were the one who put a
knife to
your neck, forcing them to get a divorce!
Itâs not even been a few days and youâre regretting your decision?
Do you think this is a game?â Claire replied, âSo what if Iâm regretting it? I really do, I wish I could slap
myself to oblivion now! Why
didnât I just endure him a little longerâ¦â After saying that, she actually started slapping herself, as
harshly as she could.
Dorothy stopped her.
She had noticed slap marks on her face and initially thought that Alex had slapped her. It would seem
that Claire had slapped herself instead. âMom, what really happened? Didnât you say you get annoyed
just from his presence?â Claire cried. âBut heâs rich! Heâs become super rich all of a sudden! City Salon,
Thousand Miles
Conglomerate, Belle Blossom, theyâre all his businesses! All of these companies are like geese that lay
golden
eggs! They could easily earn up to 100 billionâ¦
If I didnât force you to divorce him, you wouldâve become
the richest woman in California in no time! You couldâve been the richest woman in the whole country!
How
rich is that? Why didnât I just endure it? Iâm really regretting thisâ¦â The two sisters were appalled.
Dorothy said, âSo you want me to get back with him because heâs rich now? Mom, looks like money is
more
important to you than your own daughter!
You just want me to marry for money! Donât even think about it, I
will not remarry.â She then walked back into her own room. Claire shouted. âOh, my dear daughter,
donât you love him to bits? I just know that Alex still loves you!
Shouldnât you be happy that Iâm no longer against your relationship with him?â Dorothy replied, âI
probably would back then, but itâs different now, Mom.â
Beatrice added. âMom, just forget about this. You keep changing your mind, going from divorce to
remarriage
in just a few days. You just love money, but itâs not like weâre poor! What are you even going to do with
that
much money?â
Claire said, âIâm just doing it for the both of you!â Beatrice replied, âWell, we donât need it!â After being
disliked by the two sisters, Claire felt frustrated to her core.
She then thought, âThat bastard Alex must still love Dorothy. I remember just how much he liked her
back
then! He probably didnât dare to admit it in public, but Iâd definitely have a chance to persuade him if we
talked alone.â âBut my pride⦠Oh sheesh, how much is pride worth anyway? I donât even mind
grovelling at his feet just
for him to give me City Salon.â
After such thoughts, Claire managed to cheer up. ***
However, she didnât expect Alexâs mother to rush back home at this very moment. Maya drove while
Brittany called her son from the passengerâs seat.
âHey, you little brat, how long are you planning on hiding this from me? Waltzâs godfather died! How
could
you not tell me about something that important?â
âIâm coming back with Maya right now. Letâs have dinner at home.â
âTake care of Waltz, donât let her be too sad.â
