Divorce Me I'm Done Serving You (Ayla and Troy) novel Chapter 878

Since giving birth and returning to Trensea with Edgar, Nina had been determined to secure her place. She didn't think her ambition was excessive. She simply felt she should be the one to become Edgar's wife. She had spent years by Edgar's side, soothing him and coaxing him, and they even had a child together. So, even with Halle in the picture, Nina wasn't that afraid.

So, even when she learned Edgar and Halle were getting married, she only panicked for a moment.

These days, seeing Edgar constantly come to her gave Nina even more confidence.

Edgar had carried Halle in his heart for years. Nina was jealous, but she had to admit that Halle now stood far above Edgar. A woman like her would only keep climbing. She wouldn't look back.

Edgar had no self-awareness and still dared to insult her. Halle would never marry him. Their split was only a matter of time.

Nina only needed to add fuel to the fire at the right moment and force Edgar to be with her.

Nina didn't have much affection left for Edgar now. He was simply the best option she had access to. After all, Edgar's family was worth billions, and he was good-looking.

Her own family was only worth a little over a million. She'd never lacked food or clothes growing up, but that was nothing compared to Edgar's family.

If she found someone of equal status, her life wouldn't be bad either. But men were all the same. Since she had been lucky enough to meet Edgar, she had no reason to regret it or be picky.

So, Nina was willing to act humbly and submissively to comfort Edgar. Once she secured the position, everything would be easy.

Of course, she had been waiting for the right final push.

Hopefully, she wouldn't have to wait too long.

...

Just as Halle was about to return from her business trip, Edgar's grandmother suddenly fell seriously ill. She was rescued, but she might not survive the winter.

Dakota Bowman would be moved out of the ICU tomorrow, and everyone would be visiting.

Halle wasn't officially married into the family yet, but she was engaged and technically the "newcomer" in the family. It would be best if she could make time to visit the hospital.

Hayley couldn't really say it to Halle directly. It would be better for Edgar to bring it up.

Edgar took it on himself. "Mom, even if you hadn't reminded me, I would've told Halle. She's coming back to Trensea tomorrow anyway. I'll have her come straight over."

Edgar hung up in an excellent mood. He’d been looking for a chance to make Halle stumble, and Dakota’s illness came at the perfect time.

So, when Halle arrived “late,” his parents would naturally start thinking.

To make his parents dislike Halle, he didn’t need anything dramatic. Small details were enough. His parents were filial people. Being late to visit an elder seemed minor, but it could still shift someone’s impression. What Edgar wanted was for his parents’ opinion of Halle to change bit by bit—until Halle realized she had done something wrong. She cared about his parents, so she would definitely adjust herself, become softer, more obedient, more “sensible.”

As far as Edgar was concerned, the plan was perfect.

The next day, at 4 p.m.

Hayley and Tyler arrived half an hour early. Edgar arrived right on time.

The VIP room had a sitting area.

Hayley and Tyler didn’t go in to disturb Dakota, so they waited outside in the sitting area.

Edgar walked in alone. Hayley instinctively asked, “Where’s Halle?”

Edgar pretended to frown. “Probably stuck in traffic. Who knows?”
