His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 875

Sue rushed to reach the underground car park as Laura followed her.

Seeing Sue coming from the exit of the building, Sheryl opened the car door but shut it quickly the moment she saw Laura appear from behind.

Despite the fact that she had cleared everything between Anthony and her, Sheryl made up her mind that she didn't want to have any association with his mother, Laura.

"Sue, wait a second…" Laura hastily ran. As soon as she reached Sue, she pulled her by the arm and asked, "Tell me exactly what happened. I will help you resolve it."

"Aunt Laura…" Sue stepped back a couple of steps where she felt safe. She shook her hand off and then looked at Laura briefly while saying blandly, "We broke up simply because we felt that we couldn't make a good couple. There was nothing else aside from that."

Staring coldly into Laura's eyes, she hesitated but continued, "Moreover... I'm indeed not good enough for him, right?"

"No, please don't say that Sue," Laura rebutted with a frown. It was not far from her knowledge that Sue was blaming her. "I admit that I thought of a better girl for Anthony than you. But, after knowing you more, I began to understand that you are indeed a nice girl for my son. Having decency and having a clean family background are the two criteria for my daughter-in-law. I believe you have those. As for the financial aspect, I don't care much about that."

Laura smiled wryly and defended, "If not, why would I stop Sheryl and Anthony?"

A trace of an uncertain smile appeared on Sue's face at the mention of Sheryl. Without directly answering Laura's question, she switched the topic back to her interest. "Aunt Laura, it is now impossible for Anthony and me to get back together. I believe that Anthony can find a better girl for himself. And, I know you'll like her. Aunt Laura, I am busy now, so I have to go."

She didn't wait for Laura's response. Instead, she turned around the moment she finished her sentence. Turning a deaf ear while Laura was calling her, she didn't bother looking back.

"Let's go," Sue said to Sheryl when she got into the car. Shooting a glance at Laura, Sheryl asked, "She is still standing there. Should we just leave?"

"Yes," Sue replied. She was so tired of Anthony and his mother so she didn't want to involve herself with their family anymore. "Anthony and I have come to an end. I won't bother myself talking to his mother."

Sheryl nodded and drove out without giving Laura a glimpse.

Meanwhile, just as Sue left, Anthony received a call from the receptionist. The reception girl was hesitating to speak, "Mr. Xiao, someone is looking for you downstairs."

Anthony frowned and didn't say anything so she continued, "She doesn't have an appointment with you. I told her to leave, but… but she said…"

"What? What did she say?" Annoyed by the situation, he questioned her, "Do you think I am free to meet anyone who just pops up in my place? It's your job to solve that. Why are you not doing your job?"

"No, I…" the receptionist stammered.

"Tell her to just return when she already has an appointment. I don't have much time to meet her." Normally, Anthony would patiently wait for the receptionist's explanation. However, today was not a good day for him. He was not in the mood to meet anyone because of Sue. He just wanted to be alone.

As he was about to hang up the phone, the receptionist hurried to add, "But she said… She said she is your mother-in-law. Also, she mentioned that if you don't meet her, she will announce some matter to all the people in the company."

"My mother-in-law?" Anthony was startled as he heard those words. Soon, he realized who that person might be after thinking about the reason for Sue's appearance in his office a moment ago. Afterward, he gave his consent, "Okay, bring her up then."

"Okay," the receptionist agreed. She hung up the call and led Peggy to Anthony's office.
