Chapter 240
It seemed that there was no need for Maisie to be merciful anymore.
At the Vanderbilt manor…
Stephen saw the headlines on the newspaper and smashed the newspaper on the table out of pure wrath. Leila, who was bringing him fruits, took a glance at the contents of the newspaper and pretended to be shocked. “Steph, why is this news talking about Zee? Is there any misunderstanding?” 1
Stephen knew that this news article must have something to do with his mother and sister-in-law. His expression turned sulky in a n instant, and he did not answer the questions. Willow came downstairs and exclaimed deliberately, “Dad, Maisie deliberately hired a lawyer to deceive Grandma and Aunt Yanis. I just saw it on the papers.”
“Willie, don’t make such bold claims.” Leila pretended to support Maisie.
“How are they bold claims? I’ve read it with my own eyes. If that’s the case, isn’t Maisie deceiving Dad too? Dad had already agreed t o transfer his shares to her, but she still colluded with a lawyer to deceive Grandma and Aunt Yanis.”
Willow did not pay attention to Stephen’s expression while she was blabbering along. She desperately wished that her father would really listen to her and that he would misunderstand Maisie.
However, just when Leila was about to remind her anxiously, Stephen slammed the table, and the atmosphere in the manor froze i n an instant. “You’re in no position to comment on what your sister has done!”
“Dad, but I’m your daughter too,”
“Do you still know about the fact that you’re my daughter?” Stephen’s face was sullen as he snorted “I had been fooled by you once, and you want to make a fool out of me for a second time?”
Willow bit her lip as she felt aggrieved.
When Leila saw Stephen yelling at her daughter for Maisie, it was conceivable that Leila and Willow’s status in his heart was already inferior to that of Maisie.
Seeing that Stephen went upstairs with a gloomy expression, Leila could not help but clench her hands.
‘He’s the one who treated us mother-and-daughter like crap first! 1
In the evening…
Yanis and Madam Vanderbilt were waiting for the emergence of any tiny movement on the Internet in the hotel.
‘The news has been exposed for one whole day, so why aren’t the netizens attacking Maisie on her social media accounts?
