The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 771

Willow stared at her phone, absolutely livid. She had just gotten off a call with the orphanage director, and what she heard made her blood boil. After practically slamming the phone down, she ordered the maid to fetch Tallulah.

The moment Tallulah stepped into the room, Willow hurled a heavy ceramic coffee mug straight at her head.

Tallulah ducked just in time, the mug shattering against the wall. Her heart raced. Willow hadn't lost her temper like this in a while. What set her off today?

"The director of the orphanage just called me!" Willow screamed, her face red with rage. "He told me all about your little stunt! Tallulah, you've been quiet lately, so I thought you finally learned your place. But it turns out, you're just as reckless and stupid as ever!"

The Locke family had been funding that orphanage for years, earning them glowing headlines in Riverton's top newspapers. It was a PR goldmine, and Willow spared no expense to maintain that image. To think all that carefully curated goodwill had been ruined by Tallulah's sheer incompetence.

Tallulah was shocked the director actually ratted her out. Resentment bubbled in her chest, but facing Willow's wrath, she bit her tongue. She knew the rules of the Locke family all too well. Willow was the absolute matriarch, and Tallulah's only option was to endure it. She would just have to bide her time until Willow grew old and weak—then, she'd get her revenge.

Just then, Yulen Locke walked through the front door. Hearing his mother berating his wife, he frowned. Tallulah looked at Yulen, silently praying he would step in and defend her. Instead, he gave her a cold, dismissive glance and walked straight into his study.

Tallulah's heart sank into her stomach. Willow wasn't done yet. Her eyes gleamed with a cruel new idea.

"Since you clearly have too much free time, you're going to clean this entire house today. And I want the floors scrubbed on your hands and knees. Understood?"
