Chapter 133 âMiss. Laura can visit her son on weekends. Or both parents can discuss a better plan for visitation.â
The court disregarded Leoâs all shortcomings, praising his efforts for Zoe; he raised our son alone after my fake death. According to them, I was a reckless woman with no understanding of the consequences, I ran away and didnât think about the divorce. My seemingly justified decision deprived me of my son, deserting my life. I hadnât expected this outcome of my endeavor.
A lone tear escaped my eye as my shoulders slouched, a heavy sigh spilled from my lips. Lowering my head, I stared at the ground, avoiding eye contact with Bright. He did his best to alarm me, keeping me at bay, but I didnât listen to him. Now, this painful disappointment was my fate.
However, he didnât even utter an inconsiderate word and hugged me tightly. âItâs ok, Laura. Weâll go through this tough time together.
You arenât alone. I am with you.â
ult. Mr.
Henry argued with lawyers for this defeat, as they had promised us a positive Harold listened to him calmly and said, âI have requested Miss Laura to let us bring Zoe to the court, that kidâs statement would be enough to get the courtâs sympathy.
He was our strongest bet in this case!â
Just like a coldâhearted person, Mr. Harold wanted to use Zoe as a weapon, bringing him. here to see his parentsâ fight. He was oblivious of the fact that my kid was already suffering. involving him in such matters would make him resent us even more:
This cautiousness cost me a fortune, but I was at peace. At least, I didnât snatch my kidâs innocence for my victory. It was enough for me to sleep at night.
I took a deep breath and got up from the bench, Bright held my hand to escort me to the car. But our way was obstructed by over a six feet tall man. Leo stood before the door and pleaded.
ough Game Was Mine All Along æé ± Chapter 133.
âListen to me once, Laura. I donât wish to kick you out of Zoeâs life. We can raise him together if you...
A bitter smile stretched my lips as I raised my head, speaking firmly.
âCongratulations, Leo. I think you should go and celebrate your success instead of wasting my time!â
Henry pushed Leo away and cleared the path, didnât look back, although he kept calling me from behind. Concealing my agony, I wore my sunglasses and walked briskly, the piercing questions of journalists on the way to my car sent shivers down my spine.
âMr. Leo has won the custody battle, what will be your next move, Miss Laura?
Will you patch up with him for the sake of your child?
Or you will give up Zoe for your new boyfriend?
I came back home and logged in to my social media accounts, the media representativesâ merciless questions dawned on me, âLeo has pressured the court with his fan following.â
The factor of public reaction to a certain case was an undeniable truth, his fans must be guiding him with their expert opinions for this case. All my fears turned into reality, throbbing my heart in my chest, I trembled to see the trends online.
There were countless lawyers and judges in Leoâs massive fan following, they gave him all kinds of ideas to fight. They tagged him countless posts regarding similar cases for guidance. My personal life was like public property these days.
Netizenâs stance was more lenient for Leo, they respected him for his hardships of being a single dad.
âMelody was a bhch, she never acted as Leoâs partner. He raised his son alone.â
I was scrolling through the feed, staring at the screen blankly. These admiration filled posts werenât helping me to ease my pain.
However, a new trend started a few hours ago, Chapter 133 catching my attention. I clicked on the hashtag zoeâs future, âMiss Laura and Mr. Leo are Zoeâs parents; they should forget the past grievances and live. together as a family. They could make a warm home for him.â
Many people hoped that I would leave my grudges and be with Leo, we were a match made in heaven.
Eww!
It could be a match made in hell, not heaven!
Cursing inwardly, my grip on my cell phone tightened as I read inappropriate tweets about Bright. People were attacking him mercilessly, destroying his public image.
âMiss Laura wants to be with Mr. Leo, but a wannabe exâstar, ice hockey player Bright, has seduced her for his career. He is pouring venom in her heart against Mr. Leo!â
âBright should break up with Miss Laura, he is dating a married woman!â
