Chapter 550: How Did She Learn To Cook?

All doors were pulled down at the end, placed on the lawn.

Apparently, Hicks knew she couldn’t stop Bette, so she asked Stuart for help.

When Stuart arrived with Hicks and saw those doors, his face changed.

"Where’s the vice director?"

Stuart asked coldly

"In the living room," Mr. Sampson answered.

At the same time, Edie looked at the villa without a door, blankly.

"Mom, actually, we don’t have to do this. The doors...."

"Don’t worry. I would handle all these."

Edie suddenly realized the style of women in the Yates. All of them were determined while protecting what they wanted to protect."

Both Bette and Brittany were this kind of woman.

Stuart walked into the living room.

Edie raised his head, seeing his eyes, angry and scary.

Her heart started trembling.

But then she saw Hicks holding Stuart’s arm tightly. She felt jealous of her.

Bette started talking.

"Who’s she? I don’t like her. Clear her out."

Immediately the construction team walked out and lifted Hicks up, preparing to throw Hicks out.

Hicks quickly stepped backward. Her eyes were filled with tears.

"Stuart, they ..."

Stuart squinted and stared at Edie sharply.

"What do you want?"

Edie smiled bitterly. She wanted to explain, but finally, she held all words back.

Stuart didn’t trust her anymore. He might believe that Bette did all this just for her. He didn’t even ask her what happened. Therefore, she decided to be silent. Her explanation won’t make any difference at this point.

Bette answered, "it is me. She’s your wife. She didn’t do anything. Stop yelling at her. You should treasure her as a husband. Besides, I need that bitch to leave now."

"You don’t have the right to do this, "Stuart said indifferently, neglecting Bette’s words completely.

Bette sneered, fixing her eyes on Start, "what if I want to give Edie my share of the cooperation today? "

"What?" Edie froze when hearing Bette’s words.

Stuart also couldn’t believe what Bette’s said.

"From now on, she’s not only your wife but L.N.’s second-largest shareholder. I would hold the board meeting tomorrow. I hope you can come tomorrow."

"Vice president, are you out of mind? She was about divorce Stuart. Why do you give her this?"

Hicks couldn’t help herself interrupting the conversation. She really couldn’t understand what happened.

Bette threw an eye on her. Her eyes frightened Hicks.

"Shut your mouth up while I am talking,"

Hicks shut up immediately and stared at her frighteningly.

Edie asked, "Why, mom?"

Edie didn’t know anything about this. If Bette said this just to irritate Stuart, that would sound really ridiculous.

Bette smiled gently at her, "I want to focus on being your good mom-in-law now. Your husband couldn’t protect you, and then I would protect you. I would live here from now one. Mr. Sampson, clean up my room and throw that bitch’s stuff out."

Then she looked towards Hicks.

Stuart stood aside in silence.

He squinted coldly.

He didn’t expect Bette to appear at this point. He was about to divorce Edie. The longer the divorce was delayed, the worse the situation would get.

He already knew Hicks’ purpose. She wanted the passport of the safe. He would give her. But he should pretend he told her by accident.

He needed to divorce Edie and sent her to a safe place. Only in this way can he focus on dealing with the man behind Hicks.

But Bette came at this point. She even gave Edie her shares. Apparently, Edie meant a lot to Bette.

But, he didn’t know why.

He knew Bette liked Edie. But he didn’t expect Bette would make such a sacrifice for Edie.

It was...unbelievable.

He thought for a while in silence.

Then, he held Hicks in his arms and said, "all right, since you like this house. We can leave. Let’s leave, darling."

"Stop," Bette turned towards them, "Stuart, do you have any idea what you are doing now? Your wife is Edie, not that bitch. It’s Edie that the girl you should spend your life protecting. Did you forget all these, totally?"

Hearing Bette’s questioning, Stuart held fist tightly. Blood oozed out from the skin on his hands, wetting white gauze.

"I don’t remember what happened before. I don’t want to remember that, either, "

Stuart answered coldly without turning around.

Then, he left with Hicks directly.

Edie looked at his strong back blankly. The man kept attracting her. She didn’t want to move her eyes from his back.

But he kept telling her he loved another woman. What about her?

Why did he tell her he loves her?

Edie lowered her head, trying to get rid of the extreme pain.

She’s been hurt by this man so many times these days. She’s already got used to this feeling.

Then Edie turned towards Bette, "Mom, he’s already forgotten me now. Don’t push him."

Bette looked at her gently. She wanted to say something to comfort her, like a mother comforting her daughter.

Edie made a slight smile and shrugged a shoulder, "don’t worry, he would remember me one day. I’ve insisted on a long time. I won’t give up so easily. Stay with me tonight, mom. I would have those doors installed."

After Stuart left, the villa fell into silence again.

Edie looked lost

"Hungry? Time for lunch."

Edie knew Bette came here to help her. She wanted to express her appreciation,

"Mom, I want to cook several dishes at home. You’ll like it."

"Great. We can take them to L.N."

That was also Edie’s plan.

When they arrived at the cooperation, Stuart was still at work.

After waiting there for about fifteen minutes, Stuart walked out of the meeting room.

Before Edie greeted, Stuart stared at Bette, "Bette, what do you want?"

Bette didn’t get angry, "Edie cooks today. It looks quite delicious. Come on."

Edie cooks... How did she learn it? He thought in silence.

Stuart didn’t know Edie could cook.

He threw an eye on Edie. Edie’s eyes were full of expectation. Stuart’s heart started trembling.

He hesitated for a while and decided to sit down.
