Although the swelling on her face had reduced, her entire face was bruised and there were also scratches near her temple.
A helpless Sally asked, “Why did you even meet her this morning? Don’t you know that your actions are futile at this point?”
“What else could I have done?” Leah couldn’t control her temper and raised her voice. “I really don’t want to pick a fight, but I’m unwilling to give up for your sake. I’m fine with not getting anything as I’m already old and have enough to sustain myself for the rest of my life, but you two are still young.”
Then, she gritted her teeth and cursed, “I really underestimated that old hag this time. I can’t believe I made a mistake after bearing with her for so many years.”
At the same time, Simon refused to say anything as he stood next to her.
He turned to leave the room when Leah finished complaining.
Leah was taken aback by his actions as she stared at the door before speaking to Sally, “Look at that! What does he even mean? What’s wrong? Are you guys fed up with my nagging? Don’t you guys know who I’m doing all these for?”
Sally and Simon had already heard this from Leah endless times before.
Even if she was doing it for them, they weren’t willing to continue with this any longer.
This wasn’t an even match where everyone could tell that Leah stood no chance of winning at all.
If that was the case, wasn’t it better for them to take a step back to preserve their dignity?
Nevertheless, Leah couldn’t seem to wrap her head around that idea as she was engrossed in her own thoughts.
As Sally didn’t know what to say any longer, she left Leah’s room shortly after that.
While Sally stood in the hallway, she looked around and suddenly felt boredom.
She had also felt unfair and joined Leah when Leah first started the fight back then.
However, Sally suddenly felt that it was pointless now.
From the very start, she could already tell that they could only get the things that Bryce was willing to give them, so any struggle would be futile if he didn’t want to pass it to them.
She already had everything figured out, but it seemed like Leah and Simon were still in denial.
After waiting for a few moments, Sally headed into a room.
It wasn’t her room, but Simon’s.
At this moment, Simon was in his room and he was playing with his phone in bed.
Sally stood at the entrance of his room and asked with a soft voice, “Are you going to sleep soon? I need to talk to you about something.”
Although he didn’t move, he replied, “I’m listening, so just say what you want.”
Immediately, she asked, “What are your future plans?”
Simon paused before he turned to face the door while Sally leaned against the doorframe. “What plans? I don't have any plans.”
“We should be moving out of the house after Dad’s cremation tomorrow as we can’t rely on the Morgan Family after this. We need to start living our own lives now. Don't you have any thoughts about this?”
To be honest, he had never thought about anything like this as he was already used to living off the Morgan Family.
To be honest, he had never thought about anything like this as he was already used to living off the Morgan Family.
Since he had grown up in a comfortable household, he never experienced any hardships. As a result, he had mastered no skills and his studies were mediocre.
Truthfully speaking, Simon had no idea what to do if he were to be in control of his own life.
Fortunately, he still had Leah by his side and she was a reliable person, so he wouldn’t have to worry about it.
Thus, Simon honestly answered, “I’ll see what Mom says since I’ll just follow with whatever she says.”
Sally closed her eyes. She had never realized it in the past, but she suddenly realized now that she and Simon were really useless.
Despite having the privileges of being the children of an influential family, both of them had no accomplishments at all.
Nevertheless, Sally still managed to have some self awareness to reflect on herself.
She couldn’t help but recall everything that she had done in the past and realized that most of them were useless.
At this moment, she knew that she couldn’t criticize Simon’s choices as she wasn’t any better than him, so she said in a calm manner, “I’m just informing you that after everything here is settled, I’ll be leaving to take a breather. There’s also a probability of me staying in my destination of choice, but I can’t be sure yet.”

Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
