Only Ste reacted, rushing toward Cedric like a mad woman. She grabbed a teacup from the coffee


    table and threw it, regardless of whether there was tea inside.


    The living room was chaotic, with Ste’s screams and curses incessant. Outsiders would find this


    current situation hard to believe as the Scott couple was always known for their courteous


    behavior.

    In what seemed like a moment, Henry appeared to age ten years. His face showed visible fatigue and


    decline as he looked at Landon, his voice filled with weariness. “Forget it. Take me


    back.”


    Landon agreed and quickly escorted Henry away. Henry paused when he passed by Eugene. He was


    trembling. “Eugene, you leave too. This is their affair. It has nothing to do with you.”


    Eugene nodded. His face showed no emotions.


    He helped Henry as they left. He did not even nce back at Ste and Cedric.


    News of the rift between Ste and Cedric quickly reached Mnie. It was Yvonne who told her.


    Yvonne sighed. “My mom’s gossip circle is already spreading the news. I heard it got intense. Ste


    cracked a big hole in Mr. Scott’s head.”


    “I thought with things getting this bad, they’d divorce. However, Ste is adamant about not divorcing.


    I’m a bit puzzled about what she wants.


    “To have her husband and his lover’s illegitimate child mistreat her and still not divorce, is she putting


    on an act?”


    Mnie was sorting Meredith’s clothes and was not bothered to lift her head. “It’s probably not that she


    doesn’t want to divorce but that she can’t.”


    “William is an adult now, which proves that Cedric has had someone outside for a long time. Ste is


    too intelligent not to have noticed.


    “Considering William’s simr age to Eugene, Ste has put up with Cedric for many years. ording


    to Ste’s personality, she’ll absolutely refuse to divorce.”


    The reasons behind it were apparent. The Hel family and the Scott family were originally in an


    alliance. Cedric leveraged the Hel family’s influence to help LeapCo rise.


    Moreover, the Hel family undoubtedly needed to rely on the benefits brought by the Scott family.


    It could only be said that marriages among the wealthy were always based on interests.


    Yvonne sighed. “I understand the reasoning, but the more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel.


    That’s why I’d rather focus on my career in thepany than engage in arranged marriages.


    She was serious about what she said, mainly because her current potential suitors were all less than


    ideal. She was annoyed enough just by looking at them. If she had to enter an arranged marriage, she


    did not think she could be noble enough to handle it..


    The affairs of the Scott family spread like a farce. It was quickly known everywhere.


    However, thanks to Ste’s outburst, Cedric could not find trouble for Mnie temporarily.


    Taking advantage of this time window, Mnie packed up and prepared to leave.


    The tickets to go abroad were already booked. Mnie nned to look at the old house in the next few


    days.


    Xander had already returned to Nava, and the pressure there was quite high. Mnie could only bring


    Meredith along.


    Just as she entered the neighborhood gate, she ran into a neighbor, who looked surprised to see her.


    “Oh, Mnie! When did youe back?”


    Mnie replied, “I just got back.”


    “Young people are always busy, but luckily, you didn’t sell the house. It’s always good to have your


    roots. If you want to live here again, you can still do so.”


    Mnie hesitated. “I probably won’t be able to live here anymore. I’ve rented out the house.”


    “Oh, right.” The neighbor tapped her forehead. “It was rented out? I thought it was your rtive


    temporarily staying there. After all, he’s not always there. He’s a handsome man with few words. He


    looks lonely.”
