He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 610

She stood frozen in place.

Fury burned in her veins, but she was completely powerless.

Her assistant quickly scurried over, whispering anxiously, "Ms. Ramirez, we need to get back to the studio. We can't be late. Director Leo Dalton despises tardiness."

It was the perfect excuse to save face.

She wasn't retreating because she lost; she was leaving because of work.

Janetta wasn't stupid; she knew throwing a tantrum here would only ruin her further.

She gave a tight nod and stalked haughtily toward her van without another word.

The heavy door slid shut behind her.

Her face contorted into a mask of pure malice.

The assistant shrank into the corner, too terrified to breathe.

After sitting in suffocating silence, Janetta pulled out her phone and dialed Grace.

"Mom," she greeted, pouring fake sweetness into her voice.

Grace didn't hate Janetta, but she certainly didn't love her either.

She had always cared about pedigree and status above all else.

Helena had crossed her ultimate bottom line years ago.

So compared to Helena, Janetta had seemed like the lesser evil.

But ever since securing her title as Mrs. Hayes, Janetta had relentlessly fought to return to acting.

Grace despised the entertainment industry.

However, unlike Helena, Janetta had at least given them a son.

Grace adored her grandson, Kyle.

Because of the boy, she had gritted her teeth and tolerated Janetta's antics.

At the very least, Grace still commanded respect from her son.

Janetta herself clearly had none left.

Before she could even finish her sob story, Grace's icy voice cut through the phone.

"Enough."

She clearly had zero interest in hearing more.

Janetta shut her mouth, feeling a sinking dread.

"I can't control what Sebastian does. Are you really that blind?" Grace sneered.

Janetta had no comeback.

"Furthermore, you know damn well that neither Sebastian nor this family wants you back in the limelight. Yet you insisted on acting. You insisted on parading yourself in front of cameras. What right do you have to dictate his life now?" Grace spat ruthlessly. "He wanted a wife who stayed home, not one who flaunts herself for the world to see."

In that regard, Grace considered her infinitely worse than Helena.
