Chapter 375
After Herbert left, the butler sighed and tried to calm Scarlett down, saying that punishing him like this all the time wasn’t the solution.
“He brought this on himself! He’s the Norman family’s eldest grandson, and now he’s ruined everything. How do you expect me to let it go?” Scarlett snapped.
Every time she thought about that great–grandson she never had a chance to meet, her chest ached with pain. But even though she scolded Herbert, she still felt sorry for her own grandson.
“Have someone prepare some food and send it over to him later,” she said.
When the butler brought over the food, Herbert waved him off and said he wasn’t hungry. The butler sighed, worry etched on his face. “Mr. Norman, Mia is actually a really good person. Whenever she’s around, Mrs. Norman is always smiling.
“She treats all of us well, too. Previously, when I was having trouble with my legs, she even found me an acupuncturist. Why can’t you try to make things work with her?” the butler asked.
Herbert answered with silence. No one knew what he was thinking. The butler could only sigh and leave.
As soon as the butler got back to the hall, he heard Scarlett yelling, “Tell her to get lost!”
Worried about her health, the butler hurried over to see what was going on. He found out from the servants that Leonie had shown up.
“Go and tell her that unless I’m dead, she won’t take a single step into the Norman family’s house!” Scarlett yelled, clutching her chest, her voice trembling with rage.
“Alright, alright, I’ll go right now. Please don’t get upset,” the butler said quickly, trying to soothe her. He was worried she would make herself ill from all the stress.
Leonie had come to the Norman family residence because she failed to reach Herbert. After the butler relayed Scarlett’s words, Leonie didn’t dare say anything back.
She just put on a pitiful expression and said, “As long as Herbert is okay, that’s all that matters. Even the butler felt sick hearing her words. Herbert
When the butler got back to the hall, Herbert was already done with his reflection in the study. He probably knew Leone had been here, and he looked pretty upset.
Scarlett had just taken her medicine and was catching her breath. She jabbed a finger at Herbert and snapped, “If you ever let that filth show up here again and dirty my sight, don’t blame me if I don’t hold back next time!
Herbert just said, “Got it. It’s getting late. You should get some rest carly”
Judging from the way he acted, he was about to head out. “Stop right there!” Scarlett barked. You’re not going anywhere tonight. Tomorrow morning, get up early to go to the hospital with me and bring Mia home.”
Herbert paused for a moment before saying, “Got it”
After he went upstairs, Scarlett said, fuming. “He really thinks he can go see that little tramp right in front of nie? No way
At six in the morning, Scarlett started pounding on Herbert’s door. “Get up! You’re coming with me to the hospital to bring Mia home for breakfast!”

Chapter 375
Normally, Herbert would drag his feet and always woke up cranky. Even if Scarlett interrupted his sleep, he would still lan out at her.
Scarlett knew this all too well, so she made a point of waking him up early to mess with him.
‘Mia’s still stuck in the hospital, and Herbert, the one who caused all this, thinks he deserves to sleep? she thought to hersel! Just as she was about to bang on the door again, it suddenly swung open. Herbert was fully dressed, his face blank. Let’s go Scarlett was taken aback for a moment. ‘He’s actually up this early?‘ she thought, shocked.
They reached the hospital at 7:30 in the morning, way earlier than usual. However, when Scarlett, grinning from ear to ear, swung open the door to Mia’s room, Mia was nowhere to be seen. The only person inside was a cleaning lady, busy cleaning up.
Herbert blurted out, “Where’s the patient who was here? Where did she go?”
The cleaning lady replied, “She checked out last night.”
“What?” Both Herbert and Scarlett cried out in surprise.
Herbert grabbed his phone and called Mia right away. All he got was that cold automated message, saying her phone was switched off.
Unwilling to give up, he asked Scarlett try calling her too. However, the outcome was the same. Her phone was switched off. Mia had blocked him.
Scarlett was so furious that she started pounding on him. “See what you’ve done? Even Mia won’t talk to me now! Bring my Mia back!”
Herbert didn’t even try to dodge. He just stood there, letting Scarlett vent her anger, taking every blow without a word. He barely slept last night, his mind restless and uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
After he finally dropped Scarlett off at home, Herbert wasted no time trying to figure out where Mia had gone. He even reached out to folks over in Ashmont, but all he got was the news that Mia and Aurelia had taken off together for an overseas
vacation.
Hearing that she was safe, Herbert finally heaved a sigh of relief, But at the same time, the sense of loss inside him just kepe growing stronger.
‘Perhaps she needs to get away and clear her head. Honestly, this is better than her being mad at me, he thought to himself.
‘She really shouldn’t be getting upset right now, especially while she’s still recuperating. Maybe after the vocation, she won’t bring up divorce again, he told himself.
As soon as he got back to the office, Herbert told his secretary to transfer 15 million dollars from his account to Mixx. Then he pulled out his phone and sent Mia a WhatsApp message.
He actually had so much to say, but in the end, he just kept typing, deleting, typing again, and deleting once more. After agonizing over it for ages, all he managed to send her was two words.
[Have fun.]
But as soon as he sent the message, a bold red exclamation mark popped up in the chat window, Herbert froze, staring at it in disbelief. System alert notified him that Mia had blocked him.
