She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 1093

Chapter 1093 Wake Up Call

Marie barely set foot in the house anymore. Now that Stella had given birth, she was gone day and night. If Mona didn’t reclaim the keys to the estate now, she never would.

Holt’s expression soured as he considered the state of his household. “The way Marie has been managing this place is unacceptable. It is one thing to be busy, but she clearly does not care about our standing or the relationships my generation built.”

It wasn’t just about a lack of time. To a man like Holt, managing the estate was about the social web that kept the family relevant.

“Small things are one thing,” Mona added, “but if we neglect the Granbull patriarch, we will offend people we cannot afford to lose.”

The Granbulls had deep ties to the Tom family. Offending them would be a disaster.

Holt remained silent, his face darkening. Ever since the Dawson scandal years ago, the Tom family reputation had already slipped. If they started burning bridges with their remaining allies, they would have nothing left. It was clear that Marie could not be trusted with the keys.

Holt looked at Mona, his eyes narrowing. “What about the situation in Hamlin?”

“There is nothing in Hamlin. If you choose to believe Marie’s stories over me, then there is nothing more I can say.”

Mona shut the topic down. She knew better than to elaborate. Reese was real, and the more she talked, the more likely she was to trip over her own lies. Silence was her best weapon.

Holt let out a heavy sigh and turned to the butler. “Call Marie. Tell her to come home immediately.”

A flash of triumph sparkled in Mona’s eyes. Holt was finally losing his edge.

“Shouldn’t you pull your men back from Hamlin too?” Mona asked, her voice tinged with feigned hurt. “They haven’t found a thing. That girl was just talking nonsense.”

Seeing Holt soften, she played the part of the victim perfectly.

Holt looked at her for a long moment before addressing the butler again. “Call them back.”

The fact that his men had found nothing after all this time made Holt suspect that Marie had manufactured the Reese scandal just to seize power.

Mona felt a massive weight lift. After the scene Marie had caused, she expected it to take much more effort to win Holt back. He really was getting old. He couldn’t keep track of the details anymore. Things had gone so smoothly that Mona actually felt a brief flicker of unease, wondering if it was too good to be true.

Marie was fast asleep when the call from the Tom estate came in. By the time the butler finished explaining that she needed to return, her temper was already flaring.

“The Dawsons just added three children to the house last night. Are you all deaf, or do you just not care? You want me to come back now?”

Her fury was impossible to contain. Were these people insane? What could possibly be so urgent that she had to leave Stella now?

“Mr. Holt wants you to return the household authority,” the butler said.

Marie went dead silent. The fog of sleep vanished instantly.

“What did you just say?”

Return the authority? So while she was gone for two days, Mona had been busy whispering in Holt’s ear again.

“He also ordered the men in Hamlin to withdraw,” the butler added.

“Did they find Reese?”

“No

Marie’s expression turned grim. They hadn’t found her, yet he was calling off the search? And now he wanted her to hand the keys back to Mona? Was he actually losing his mind?

“Tell him I am not coming,” Marie snapped.
