"Condition?" Eliza's heart skipped a beat, she felt a chill. "What kind of condition?"
Michael turned to Maisy and said, "Mom, why don’t you go on out first. Let me talk to Eliza alone."
Maisy did not agree, nor did she change her sarcastic, overbearing manner.
“What’s there to talk about with such a shameless woman? She cheated on you on your wedding night! The Francis family can’t have such a woman. Hurry up and get divorced!”
Eliza’s face blanched further. She could not get a divorce, at least on the day after her wedding. The scandal of infidelity alone was enough for her and her mother to be kicked out of the Stone family forever. Besides, she would never be able to have a foothold in the so-called upper-class society.
Michael suddenly raised his voice as he said, “I know what I’m doing. Leave us!”
Maisy muttered to herself in annoyance and reluctantly left the room. When she left, she slammed the bedroom door shut with a loud bang.
However, the moment she closed the door, the unhappiness and meanness on her face changed at once. She hummed with satisfaction as if her schemes were successful. Just as she was about to go downstairs, she suddenly saw a tall figure standing by the stairs.
It was Tanner.
He stood there in silence, blocking the stairway. He looked indifferent, but a shockingly deep and cold look could be seen in his eyes.
Maisy stopped in her tracks, the pride on her face instantly froze too. She immediately became respectful and cautious.
She dared not take a step forward nor retreat, she stood still afar and forced out a smile.
“Mr. Deleon, you’re still here…”
