Chapter 562
When Leanne spoke, her voice was choked, and she sounded all pitiful. It was as though she was
under coercion back then.
“Regret never makes a difference in this world. Since you chose to take the money and leave Michael
back then, you shouldn''t havee back now. Leanne, I''ll never allow you to be with him! Besides, a
woman like you isn''t worthy to be my daughter-inw!” Josephine sneered, not at all moved.
Perhaps she knew Leanne''s true colors all too well, for she didn''t buy her pitiful act.
The moment Leanne heard those words, her face abruptly drained of all color, and sorrow crept into
her eyes.
Just as she was about to say something further, I could no longer suppress the fury within me and
warned her coldly, “Leanne, you should stop while you''re ahead if you have even the slightest bit of
shame. Michael and I have already gotten married a long time ago. Don''t tell me you want to be a
homewrecker and ruin someone else''s rtionship?”
Ugh! I can guarantee that she''s definitely the most shameless woman I''ve ever seen in this whole wide
world!
No sooner had I said that than Leanne turned emotional.
Pointing at me, she spat furiously, “So what if I be a homewrecker? Don''t forget that I was the one
who got together with Michael first back then, Anna. You were nowhere in sight when we dated at that
time. Even when ites to ruining someone else''s rtionship, you''re the one who has ruined our
rtionship. You''re the third party here!”
Verily, I didn''t expect her to turn around and tear into me instead. I was so livid that I guffawed. How
could there be such a shameless woman in this world?
“Leanne, don''t you think you''re really pathetic right now? Michael doesn''t love you anymore. Otherwise,
why would youe here and seek me out?”
Leanne only came to look for me because she couldn''t garner any response from Michael.
After all, Michael had already promised me that there would never be another woman for him except
me.
“How dare you?”
Having been exposed, Leanne eyed me frostily, but she couldn''t utter a single word in rebuttal.
“Let''s go, Mom. There''s no need to waste time with her here.”
Not in the mood to waste my breath with her anymore, I got into the car with Josephine and sped off.
When Leanne spoke, her voice was choked, and she sounded all pitiful. It was as though she was
under coercion back then.
Whan Laanna spoka, har voica was chokad, and sha soundad all pitiful. It was as though sha was
undar coarcion back than.

Just as sha was about to say somathing furthar, I could no longar supprass tha fury within ma and

Ugh! I can guarantaa that sha''s dafinitaly tha most shamss woman I''va avar saan in this wh wida

No soonar had I said that than Laanna turnad amotional.
Pointing at ma, sha spat furiously, “So what if I ba a homawrackar? Don''t forgat that I was tha ona

Varily, I didn''t axpact har to turn around and taar into ma instaad. I was so livid that I guffawad. How

“Laanna, don''t you think you''ra raally pathatic right now? Michaal doasn''t lova you anymora. Otharwisa,

“How dara you?”
Having baan axposad, Laanna ayad ma frostily, but sha couldn''t uttar a sin word in rabuttal.
“Lat''s go, Mom. Thara''s no naad to wasta tima with har hara.”
Not in tha mood to wasta my braath with har anymora, I got into tha car with Josaphina and spad off.
Leanne stood rooted to the spot, ring at my car with hatred etched across her features.
After we exited the underground parking, my mood took a nosedive. Although I kept my emotions in
check before Leanne just now, I would be lying if I were to im that I wasn''t bothered at all.
I couldn''t possibly be indifferent when someone wanted to steal my husband away.
“Anna, don''t take that woman''s words to heart. No matter what, I''ll never allow her to be with Michael.
Someone like her isn''t worthy to be part of the Shaw family!”
At the mention of Leanne, Josephine wore an expression of disdain. I could tell that she really detested
Leanne.
“I know. I also believe that Michael won''t get back together with her and trust that our rtionship can''t
be simply destroyed by any Tom, Dick, and Harry. But still, I still feel rather perturbed at her words. I''ve
been with Michael for so many years, so what right does she have to appear out of the blue to ruin our
rtionship?”
As I recalled how Leanne tantly admitted to her intention, the rage within me sparked to life.
She knows full well that we''re already married, yet she''s not bothered in the least! Instead, she acts as
though she''s entirely justified. How is it that there''s such a shameless woman in this world? She wants
to ruin someone else''s marriage, but she still thinks that she''s in the right! Does she not care how
others would think of her?
“I''ll help you resolve this matter. I definitely won''t allow that woman to bother you both, let alone marry
into the Shaw family!”
Josephine immediatelyforted me upon hearing that.
I knew that she also loathed Leanne, so I was confident that she would undoubtedly stop that from
happening.
“Okay,” I muttered.
Despite having obtained her promise, I was still down in the dumps.
As soon as I arrived back at the Shaw residence, I went straight back to the bedroom sullenly. The
instant I recalled the words Leanne said to me earlier in the afternoon, I felt uncontrobly irritated.
When Michael came home and saw me in a huff, he frowned slightly and walked over to me.
“Why do you look as though you''re in a bad mood? Is there a problem at work or something?” he
queried mildly.
Then, he sat down beside me and pulled me into his arms. That seemed to have be his habit.
“Leanne came to seek me out today,” I stated coldly as I lifted my head to look at him.
Staring into his eyes, I waited for his reaction.
“Why did she suddenly seek you out? The two of you aren''t close, right?”
Following my remark, Michael''s brows furrowed slightly, and aplicated look shed across his
eyes.
“Can you really not guess why she sought me out when you''re so smart?” I muttered morosely in
response to his question.
Considering his intelligence, he has probably long since guessed what she said when she sought me
out, huh?
Seeing me looking all vexed, Michael patted me on the shoulder and coaxed, “No matter what she
says, you don''t have to pay it any mind. Just ignore her.”
“She told me today that you''ll definitely get back together with her.”
Although he was alreadyforting me, I was still exceedingly aggrieved. The moment I remembered
Leanne''s words to me earlier in the day, the wrath within me inexorably sparked to life. I felt that it was
already merciful of me that I only gave her a p just now.
As I gazed at Michael''s handsome countenance, aggravation flooded me. He''s already my man, so
why is it that there''s some other woman hoping to ruin our marriage?
“That won''t happen. I''ll only be with you for the rest of my life. I''ll never get back together with her
again. This is my responsibility and promise to you!” Michael asserted firmly, hugging me tightly in the
circle of his arms.
I was initially still feeling upset, but I felt much better after hearing that.
No matter what she says, it doesn''t matter as long as he doesn''t get back together with her.
I knew how much Michael loved me, so I wasn''t worried that he would really reconcile with Leanne. I
was only upset because I didn''t like being threatened by others, much less threatening to steal my
husband.
“What if she continuestching on to you and refuses to give up? Even if you''ll never get back together
with her, I''ll still be irritated. I don''t want to see her again!”
She''s the person I loathe to see most, and she''s definitely the person I detested most in this world as
well!
