Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 213

Nadine's kind expression instantly hardened into a deep frown.

"Watch your tone, young lady. Julius is absolutely not getting a divorce. My granddaughter-in-law is wonderful. You need to leave. You are no longer welcome here."

Her grandson had finally found a woman he loved, and this Jeter girl had the audacity to suggest he'd get divorced?

It was infuriating!

Realizing Julius was officially off the market, Yvonne couldn't bear to stay another second. She stormed out of the manor, boiling with rage.

Nadine watched her retreating figure and shook her head. The girl had zero manners.

Lisa, standing nearby, softly added, "Ma'am, it's a blessing Mr. Blackwood didn't marry Ms. Jeter. I still think Mrs. Blackwood is the best match for him."

"You're exactly right. Stella and Julius are perfect for each other. I adore Stella. Lisa, pass down the order: if anyone from the Jeter family comes knocking, don't let them in immediately. They need explicit permission from now on."

"Understood, Ma'am."

......

The Jeter Residence.

Yvonne stormed into her house, practically radiating fury.

"Yvonne, didn't you say you were having dinner at the Blackwoods? Why are you back so early? Did someone upset you?"

Yvonne snapped, "Mom, drop it. I've lost my appetite. I'm so mad I could die."

Catherine frowned in confusion. "What on earth happened? Who made you this angry?"

Catherine gasped. "Julius kicked you out? How could he humiliate you like that? We're old family friends!"

Yvonne pouted, her eyes tearing up. "It's worse than that, Mom. He banned me from ever showing up at Blackwood Group again."

Catherine scolded her gently. "Look at how badly you handled this. You grew up with him, yet you couldn't even win his heart. Now look what's happened. He's married and won't even look at you."

Yvonne fired back indignantly, "Mom! How is this my fault? You and Dad were the ones who told me his legs were permanently ruined and he didn't have long to live! You told me to stay away from him!"

Catherine was rendered momentarily speechless. It was true; when Julius was first injured, they had visited him and even helped search for top specialists.

But once doctors confirmed his paralysis was permanent and his prognosis was grim, she and her husband had explicitly told their daughter to forget about him. There was no future there.

Since that day, they hadn't set foot in the Blackwood Manor once.
