I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 814

I despise parents like Mary. When Steven does well, it's because of their excellent upbringing. When he doesn't listen, it's because someone else led him astray. They're always looking for someone else to blame.

It's a miracle Steven didn't turn out worse, growing up in that environment.

Hearing this, Mary pointed a finger at me, her eyes filled with venom.

"You... how dare you speak to me like that? Zephyra, don't think you can do whatever you want just because Steven protects you. You will never be a part of the Lancaster family again! Not only do I forbid it, but his father will never agree either!"

In most people's eyes, the Lancaster Group was a powerhouse, and marrying into their family was a dream for many women.

But I'd already married into it multiple times, and the illusion had shattered long ago. A prominent family? A normal family has more warmth. The Lancasters were only concerned with one thing: self-interest.

I sneered, "Keep dreaming! I wouldn't go back even if you got on your knees and begged me! So I don't need your permission!"

Mary scoffed. "Good. The Lancaster family can't afford a jinx like you!"

I narrowed my eyes. "Say one more stupid thing, and I'll use you for a warm-up."

As I spoke, I deliberately cracked my knuckles. I'd taught her a lesson once before, but back then, I was still married to Steven and held back. Now, I had nothing holding me back.

Seeing this, Mary's expression shifted slightly, though she tried to maintain her composure.

I never thought he could be so ruthless, not just with Verna, but with his own father.

Thinking about it, a strange feeling washed over me.

Seeing my silence, Mary said coldly:

"Zephyra, you must be so proud of yourself, right? Thinking you have Steven right where you want him, that the entire Lancaster Group is yours for the taking!"

"Let me tell you, keep dreaming! Steven is just temporarily blinded by you. One day, he'll wake up, see you for the seductress you are, and kick you to the curb!"
