Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 166

As Linda wasn’t a cultured lady in the first place, she couldn’t compare herself to Julia, who came from an illustrious family.

The verbal sparring between the two ladies didn’t come as a surprise to Felicia too.

She then turned her attention to Julia and said, “Since you’re aware of your difference in status, you should be more forgiving of others.”

Even though she sounded as if she was standing up for Linda, Felicia was clearly taking Julia’s side.

As a woman herself, she empathized with the humiliation Julia had suffered all these years.

Linda’s face lost all color in her rage. Felicia had never shown her any respect and would always favor Julia over her.

As tears of aggrievement welled up in her eyes, she informed Charlie, “I’m not feeling well. Please send me home.”

She couldn’t care less about the words of those who didn’t respect her.

All she needed to do was ensure that Charlie’s heart was hers.

While speaking, she leaned against Charlie’s shoulder and pretended to swoon.

However, Felicia responded with a look of disdain before getting up to leave.

As for Charlie, he pushed her aside with an awkward expression. “If you’re not feeling well, I’ll get the driver to send you home.”

“Aren’t you coming with me?” Linda wondered if she had misheard.

All this while, Charlie would return to Jadeborough with me on the second day. Is he planning to this time?

way back with Julia

“It has always been a rush every year. I never get to spend time properly with my family.” When Charlie threw Julia a glance, his darkened expression brightened up a little. “I’m going inside first.”

Upon getting to his feet, he strode back into the house.

“Charlie…” Tears of exasperation almost gushed out of Linda’s eyes.

With a frosty gaze, Julia relished in schadenfreude when she saw the dejection on Linda’s face. “Men will leave you the more you want them. If you let them be, they’ll return when it’s time to do so.”

Linda didn’t miss the sarcasm in Julia’s words at all.

—Once Charlie was out of sight, she dropped her civil facade and snapped, “He’ll return to my side regardless of whether I tell him to. That’s because he doesn’t have any feelings for you at all!”

“It’s been a long time since I cared about him having feelings for me,” Julia sneered. “You might have been able to rely on your looks to attract him in the past, but time has been unkind to you. I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to hold onto him. One day, when you no longer mean anything to him, he’ll return to my side. I’ll always be Mrs. Hadley to him, while you’re nothing but a piece of garbage he can easily be rid of!”

That was the reason why Julia refused a divorce back then. She didn’t see why she should give up her place

to Linda.

She had wanted to let Linda waste away her youth, for it was too early to know who would be the last one laughing in the end.

Even without Julia pointing it out, the fact wasn’t lost upon Linda. In front of the former, Linda would have to behave like a coward, someone who could never hold her head up high in public.

As Linda gave the calm Julia a piercing glare, she questioned her, “Why do you insist on not letting Charlie go when you clearly don’t love him? I can’t believe how vicious you are.”.

If Julia had been willing to back out back then, she wouldn’t have had to suffer a lifetime of ridicule.

“Me? Vicious? I definitely can’t beat you in that department. For breaking up my family and causing my son to miss out on fatherly love, I’m not going to let you off easily!”

Thereafter, Julia got to her feet as she exuded the authority of the lady of the house. After scowling in Linda’s direction, she turned around elegantly and entered the house.

Linda’s eyes burned with rage, as if they could sear Julia’s silhouette to a crisp. “Julia, I beat you once in the past, and I’ll beat you again now!”

Why is she blaming me now when I clearly highlighted the problem to her back then?
