Edie stared at the agreement blankly.
Party B...Stuart
These words burned her eyes. She wanted to burst into tears, but she held back her tears and wonāt give Hicks the satisfaction to feel happy seeing her suffer.
Finally, she closed her eyes painfully and put the pen down, "Sorry, I wonāt sign the agreement. I made up my mind. I refuse to divorce Stuart," She firmly said without batting an eyelid.
"What the hell? Edie. What the hell do you want? Weāve spent lots of time preparing the agreement. Accept it. Stuart already forgot you. Stop tangling with Stuart. He clearly doesnāt want you to stay in his life, move on and give his freedom,"
Hicks stood up, madly and screamed. She wanted to slap Edie right now; however, she canāt do it in front of Stuartās lawyer.
Edie raised the head and stared at her, indifferently, "I couldnāt give you my husband. I would fight for him. I will lose everything if you marry him. What...what could I do after that?"
She wanted to mention her baby. But she couldnāt tell Hicks the existence of the baby. She knew that Hicks is a vicious woman, and if she tells her that sheās pregnant, this evil woman will harm her and the baby.
Hicks squinted, "Edie, even if you refuse to sign the paper, you wonāt see Stuart again."
"Edieās Stuartās wife. Why couldnāt she see her husband? Since when did she need your permission? Who do you think you are? What is your right to prevent my daughter- in- law to see her husband?"
Suddenly, Edie heard a familiar voice.
Edie turned around and Stuartās Mom. This time around, Edie feels a little joy to find someone who can stand beside her.
It was Bette Yates.
Behind her was a guard taking her luggage. She just arrived.
Bette took off the sunglasses and stared at Hicks sharply with her beautiful eyes.
Hicks frowned. She didnāt know why this woman suddenly came.
At the moment she saw Bette, she knew she might fail today.
She knew how difficult it was to get well along with Bette. She wished Bette could disappear before Edie signed the paper.
Hicks forced a bright smile, "Good afternoon, auntie."
"Please call me Mrs. Yates or Madam Bette. You donāt have the right to call me Auntie," Bette threw an eye on her.
Hicks felt too embarrassed to answer. She quickly went silent and didnāt dare to argue with Stuartās Mom.
At the moment, Edie stood up and hesitated for a while. She didnāt know how to call Bette.
"Vice..."
Bette smiled at her, "what did you call me last time?"
"Mom," Edie said, respectively.
Hicks was so angry. Even Stuart couldnāt call Bette as "mom." She couldnāt understand why Edie could call her "mom." Bette really accepts Edie as her daughter in law. Hicks could feel the excellent relationship between Edie and her.
While she couldnāt even call her "auntie." She hated Edie more. She canāt accept that sheās once again humiliated by Stuartās family.
Bette took the paper on the desk and tore the paper apart.
"Mrs. Yates, why are..."
Hicks wanted to stop her, but she had no gut.
"Sheās my daughter in law. What are you doing here? You are nothing here. Why does it seems you acted like a legal wife of my son? Who gives you an authority to act as a legal wife?" Bette said coldly, and her voice was filled with anger.
Hicksās face changed. She bites her teeth to control her anger, "Mrs. Yates, this is your sonās idea. Stuart wonāt love Edie anymore. This is the best choice for both of them. Stuart wanted to divorce,"
" Who said so? Stuart? I donāt care about my son. All I care about is my daughter in law. Edie, letās go home now."
Then, she held Edieās hands. But Edie stood there still.
"Edie?" What are you doing? I said, let us head back home?"
Edie hesitated for a while, "I donāt have keys. No one would open the door for me."
"Stuart dare do this to you?"
Bette could feel her pain. She knew that Edie had suffered so much these past few days, and she canāt let it pass.
What the hell was Stuart doing? Edie was so wronged here, and he didnāt even throw an eye on her.
Bette squinted and said in a low but angry voice, "Weāll see, if he dares to block my outsides."
Then, Bette took Edie away.
Hicks wanted to stop them, but she couldnāt stop Bette. So she had to chase after then.,
When they arrived at the villa, instead of ringing the doorbell, she asked her assistant directly, "Has the construction team arrived?"
"Yes, madam."
"pull down the door." Betteās voice was firm.
"Mom...."
Edie was shocked by the scene. Bette was so....tough.
"I want to see how he would handle this. Donāt worry. I am here. I would handle everything for you before leaving."
Bette rubbed her hands and comforted her.
Edie didnāt know how to persuade her to stop.
The construction team started pulling down the door, alerting the electronic anti-theft system.
Mr. Sampson was shocked. He ran out immediately. Seeing Bette, he held all his bad words back.
"Madam..." Bette bowed to Bette, "Madam, you donāt have to do this. I would open the door for you."
Bette gave a cold grunt, "Mr. Sampson, are you too old to remember the hostess here?"
"..."
Mr. Sampson didnāt know how to answer. He couldnāt afford to make Bette or Stuart angry. It was really hard for him.
After opening the door, he called Stuart immediately.
Though the door was opened, Bette didnāt stop the construction team. The first door was pulled down.
She asked Edie to open the next door. But Edie couldnāt open it.
Bette then asked the construction team to pull down the next door. Moreover, Bette had all locks changed.
"I would answer blow with blow. Weāll see. I am looking forward to her reaction."
Bette certainly meant Hicks Day.
