Chapter 239
A mirror?
Cheryl could not resist the urge to touch her cheek. When she touched the hideous scar, her self–esteem suffered a huge blow.
. That was the truth that could completely shock her heart.
Elsie did not care about Cheryl’s feelings. She walked toward Cheryl and said, “I’m about to get engaged to Hackett and get married at the end of the year. So, your presence here is affecting my mood. When I’m in a bad mood, I’ll torture Hackett. Don’t you love him? Can you bear to see him tortured?”
“You! Hackett doesn’t like you. He won’t be interested in someone like you. What’s there to be proud of? I was much more appealing than you in the past. I…”
“Alright, stop talking about the past. You’re not as beautiful as me now. You’re even ugly. How are you going to win Hackett’s heart? With your ugly scar? Hurry up and get out of here. What are you waiting for?”
Elsie’s harsh words hit Cheryl’s fragile heart.
“Enough! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” Cheryl covered her ears as tears streamed down her face.
She was already feeling inferior. Now, she was on the verge of breaking down. She knew that her appearance now was not worthy of Hackett, but she was unwilling to accept the fact. She had been so close to happiness, but now, she had nothing.
“Are you leaving or not?”
“This isn’t your house. It’s not up to you to decide! If Hackett wants me out, he ought to talk to me himself!” Only if Hackett came to cast her out could Cheryl give up thoroughly.
“What a joke! I’m about to become the mistress of this place. How is this not my house?” Elsie turned to look at Tyler, who was standing outside the door. “Tyler! Get her out of here! She’s asking for the hard way. She’s so annoying!”
Tyler did not respond but walked directly to Cheryl. “Ms. Yeats, please. Mr. James has arranged a new residence for you. You can start a new life in the future. There’s no need to trap yourself in the past.”
“How can I start a new life in my current state?” Cheryl shouted hysterically.
Tyler said, “That’s not something we should care about. People have to take responsibility for what they have done. Moreover, even if you don’t want to start a new life, Mr. James has to. It’s destined to be impossible for you and him to be together. Let it go.”
It was destined to be impossible for her and Hackett to be together.
The sentence was like a giant rock pressing down on Cheryl’s heart.
Seeing that Cheryl was unmoved, Tyler grabbed her thin wrist and forcefully pulled her away.
Elsie breathed a sigh of relief after Cheryl was sent away. She looked at Tyler, who was driving.
“I’m done with my business. When will Hackett do what he promised me?”
“Mr. James is sending Mr. Alex home. He’ll be meeting us soon. Don’t worry. He’ll let you and your boyfriend see each other,” Tyler said.
Elsie nodded and felt relieved.

Chapter 239
Suddenly, she felt a little bored. Her gossipy heart was aroused again.
“Tyler, can I ask you something?”

Tyler looked at Elsie in the rearview mirror and said, “Ms. Maddox, please ask. I’ll only answer what I know. I can’t answer what I don’t know.”
This bodyguard was quite cautious.
Elsie cleared her throat and asked, “Does Hackett like his ex–wife or this disfigured actress?”

“Ms. Maddox, can’t you see clearly? He asked you to chase Ms. Yeats away but stopped you from harassing Ms. Sharp. Don’t you understand what he meant?”
Tyler felt it was already apparent. Even a fool could tell who Hackett liked.
“Oh… After all, he has a child with his ex–wife. That actress seems to be quite infatuated with him. I have to say that Hackett is quite popular. I don’t know what these women like about him. What’s so good about him?” Elsie snorted in disdain.
Tyler was unconvinced and wanted to retort Elsie’s words.
Wasn’t it normal for Hackett to be popular among the girls? What did those women like about him? Why wouldn’t they fall for him?
On the other hand, Tyler had no idea what Elsie liked about that poor man. He did not think Kaden was worthy of Elsie’s liking.
“Ms. Maddox, which part of Mr. James is not desirable to women in terms of his family background, appearance, and knowledge? Besides, the poor man you like is useless. I wonder what you like about him.”
