The Year She Stopped Being Crazy for Him novel Chapter 391

"What do you know? Hassan is already married! This is your chance!"

"Mom, why do you think Joelle suddenly came back to the country? It's because Hassan and Natalie are getting a divorce."

Rhea stiffened. "What are you talking about? How come I didn't know?"

"Believe it or not, it's true. Joelle came back specifically for Hassan."

Rhea instantly flared up. "What is that supposed to mean? She'd rather marry a divorced man?"

She was furious. "So what if Hassan is a bit more handsome and capable than you? He's about to be a divorcee! She has no shame and zero foresight!"

Cyrus sighed. "...If you don't have anything else to say, I'm hanging up."

"Don't you dare hang up! Listen to me! You have to win Joelle over. Do you have any idea how many benefits would come with marrying her? At the very least, you wouldn't be constantly overshadowed by Hassan."

"...She already has her heart set on someone else. What am I supposed to do, cast a love spell on her? Give it up." His tone was exhausted. "I'm done talking. I just need to finish this last bit of work so I can go home."

"Look at you! You're working yourself to the bone every single day while he lives a life of sheer luxury, and he still finds time for mistresses. It's because he dumps all the dirty work on you. Can't you grow a spine?"

Rhea's attitude was unyielding. "Don't worry, Hassan won't be able to finalize that divorce. As long as he stays married, you still have a chance."

"Mom? What do you mean? Don't do anything crazy..."

"Ugh! Just stay out of it. I'll figure something out." She hung up the phone, a ruthless gleam flashing in her eyes.

Joelle's return was an opportunity handed down from the heavens, and Rhea wasn't going to let it slip away easily.

Joelle had a flawless reputation in their circle; she was the kind of socialite every wealthy family clamored to bring into their fold.

She used to visit the Carlson family all the time. Every elder who met her praised her upbringing. Once upon a time, she and Hassan had been the gold standard—the perfect kids every parent compared their own children to.

If Cyrus could secure a marriage alliance with her family, he would finally be on equal footing with Hassan.
