The Divorcee Amazed the World

Susan pouted and remained silent.

Helena glanced at Willis, as if saying, “You’re quite something.”

Willis replied with a look, indicating, “Even if I am, it’s all yours.”

He held her hand in his, gently massaging it. His face, however, maintained a dignified appearance, revealing nothing about the movements under the table.

Not long after, Owen and Grace stormed into the room with great momentum.

Upon entering and seeing Susan’s disheveled state, the couple’s anger flared up.

Owen, already half-drunk, lost control of his temper when angered. Stumbling a few steps, he rushed to Ryan and, without a second thought, slapped him!

“Smack!”

Ryan was struck, and stars appeared before his eyes. Never in his long life had he been slapped, let alone in front of everyone. The pain was secondary; the main issue was his pride!

With a darkened face, Ryan protested, “why do you hit someone without asking for the facts?”

Owen, in a fit of anger, retorted, “Your two sons bullied my precious daughter, and now even you’re bullying her. None of you is any good!”

Grace, using tissues, wiped away the chicken soup and tears from Susan’s face, asking with concern, “Susan, tell Mom, how did they bully you?”

Susan turned her head to look at Helena, about to speak.

Willis gave her a cold glance.

Susan shivered.

Her gaze shifted to Jane.

Extending her hand, Susan pointed at Jane, who was wearing a sleek black professional suit, with short red hair and beautiful features. “It’s her, she poured chicken soup on me and used a cane to hit my leg. Oh, my leg hurts so much.”

Grace squinted, glaring at Jane. “Why would you bully our Susan?”

Jane was never one to avoid trouble.

Crossing her arms, she sneered, ” please don’t falsely accuse others. Everyone’s eyes are clear. You were the one who poured wine on me and then used a cane to attack me. Everything I did was in self-defense. Even if the police come, I’m in the right.”

Seeing her articulate defense, Grace asked Susan, “Is that true?”

Susan, feeling wronged, replied, “Mom, Ryan is introducing her to Willis. How can I swallow this humiliation?”

Grace immediately became furious.

She glared at Ryan. “You’ve acted unscrupulously in this matter. How could you treat Susan like this?”

Even though Ryan had explained the reasons a hundred times, the Varley family just wouldn’t listen.

He was too lazy to repeat himself.

“Cough, cough!”

Unable to sit still any longer, Kelly coughed a few times and stood up.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

With a forced laugh, he said, “Today’s incident is just a misunderstanding. Let’s not argue or make a scene. We’re all in the same circle, and we shouldn’t damage our relationships over such a trivial matter.”

He waved at Jane. “Let’s go.”

Jane picked up her bag, smiled at Ryan, and said, “Thank you, for your hospitality. Goodbye.”

Ryan smirked. “Goodbye.”

Jane then turned to Willis, smiling dignifiedly but with a hint of charm. “Mr. Santana, until we meet again.”

Willis remained expressionless, giving a faint acknowledgment.

Jane smiled again at Helena. “Helena, let’s have tea together when you’re free.”

Helena replied with a smile, “I don’t drink tea, thank you.”

Jane’s eyes had a hint of mischief as she lifted the corner of her left lip, tucked her bag under her arm, and walked toward the door.

Just as she took a couple of steps, there was a loud “clang”!

Jane’s body suddenly lurched forward!

She raised her hand to support her shoulder, her expression contorted in pain.
