Chapter 118
Layla’s aged face stiffened, and her eyes instantly froze.
Eliot rolled his eyes and said, “That’s impossible. Who would be in such a hurry to get married these days? You don’t want to go to the Wright family. So you deliberately lied to my grandmother.” He thought he was clever by saying that.
When he said this, Layla also came back to her senses. She pointed at Audrey’s nose and scolded, “What bigamy crime? I don’t believe your
nonsense.”
Audrey said unhurriedly, “If you don’t believe me, you can search online. The news of any marriage is everywhere.”
Layla hesitated again. ‘Could it be that Audrey is a famous person in Riverdale? Her man
he news?’
Just as she was thinking, her grandson had already taken out his phone and started to check.
After searching, he indeed saw the news of Audrey’s wedding day.
Seeing this news, Layla felt her vision go dark. ‘Oh, no! The wedding with the Wright family will probably not happen!
Layla was so angry that she cursed, “Little bitch, you married a stranger in the blink of an eye. You can even do such an immoral thing. How shameless!”
Audrey could not be bothered with her.
Eliot was still looking at his phone. He said excitedly, “Grandma, people on the Internet say she married a gigolo who lives off women. This kind of man can’t compare to Mr. Wright.”
When she heard that Audrey had married a man who lived off women, Layla was instantly revived and said excitedly, “Although the youngest son of the Wright family doesn’t have a job, his father is capable. He’s doing a big business in Riverdale.”
She looked at Audrey and said, “Mr. Wright is a rich second–generation heir. He is tens of thousands of times better than your current husband. If you divorce him and marry Mr. Wright, you’ll only enjoy endless wealth…”
Layla’s eyes were filled with confidence.
She knew that no one could resist the temptation of wealth.
‘A gigolo is nothing compared to a rich second–generation heir,‘ Layla thought.
Looking at Layla’s expression, Audrey’s red lips curled up slightly. She said, “Since Mr. Wright is so good, why don’t you marry him?”
Pfft!
Miles could not help but laugh out loud. When he regained his senses, he quickly covered his mouth and dodged to the side. His eyes were filled with admiration for Audrey.
Layla was stunned.
Her eyes widened and her breathing quickened. She raised her hand to slap Audrey’s face. “You little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about?”
The calloused slap was about to land on Audrey’s face.
“Stop it!” Peter shouted angrily. He grabbed Layla’s arm and shook her off forcefully.
He said, “Audrey is my daughter. You have no right to interfere in my daughter’s marriage, let alone hit her.”
Layla was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.
Jessica and Miles also stepped forward to protect Audrey. They told Layla to get out with William and the others.
Miles did not know how to hide his emotions and said in disgust, “Grandma, I still call you Grandma because I respect you, but what you’re doing is
inhumane.
“In the past, you were biased and never remembered the three of us. I didn’t blame you. You can give your things to whoever you want.
“But my sister doesn’t owe you anything. What right do you have to make arrangements for her?”
These words were like tearing off Layla’s cover in public.
Her face turned pale and livid. She was so angry that she scolded Miles again.

Chapter 118
Miles did not care at all.
Layla changed the topic and scolded Jessica for not teaching her son well.
Peter’s heart ached for his wife and child, but he could not say anything nasty. His tone was still polite. “M raise us for so many years. I won’t miss out on the retirement money I should give you.
“But it’s impossible for me to sell my daughter.”
He had already shown Layla enough respect.
However, Layla only cared about the 100 thousand dollars she got. She would not listen no matter what.
nderstand it’s not easy for you to
She pointed at Peter while trembling. Her chest heaved up and down as she said hysterically, “You unfilial son. Alright. Now that you’ve grown up, you dare to talk to me like this, right?
“Good, very good. You can’t stay in my house since your family is so unyielding. Get out.
“Let’s see how her gigolo husband can help when you’re on the streets with this money–losing good–for–nothing.”
Peter was stunned for a moment. When he regained his senses, he was so angry that he almost lost his voice. “This… This house is mine to begin with. What do you mean by living in your house?”
William, who had been watching the commotion for a long time, said sarcastically, “If you hadn’t forced Mom too hard back then, she wouldn’t have let you live in the house for so many years for nothing. Mom’s name is on the property ownership certificate. Of course, it’s hers.”
When Peter heard such shameless words, he was angry and wanted to laugh.
He said, “William, don’t you feel guilty saying such things? You know best why this house was given to me back then.”
A hint of guilt flashed across William’s eyes. In the blink of an eye, he said fiercely, “What do I know? What does this have to do with me?”
He paused and sneered before continuing, “All these years, your family has been living the easiest outside. Mom has always lived with me, and I’ve always looked after her.”
“Bah, shameless!” Jessica couldn’t take it anymore and shouted angrily.
She said, “If Layla hadn’t paid off your gambling debt with her salary, would she have compensated us for this house?
“You even said that you’re taking care of Layla. You do nothing and let her serve you. Even the crown prince isn’t as comfortable as you. How dare you say that you’re taking care of her?”
With a cold expression, she rolled her sleeves and threatened bluntly, “Everyone here has the right to speak, but you don’t. You better shut your mouth, or don’t blame me for being rude.”
William was rendered speechless.
He had seen Jessica show her might before, so he did not dare to act rashly.
