Go After My Ex-wife -
Chapter 947 No Tears Left To Cry
Eloisa entered the house with MLexienna. She immediately felt something was amiss when saw the amount of people in her house. However, she was too focused on her daughter to pay much attention to the cars parked outside of her house. Though if she stopped to think about it, it definitely would've felt a little strange.
When Eloisa entered the house, she saw a young man dressed in a black leather sitting on the sofa. She had never seen him before, and she instinctively tightened her hold on her daughter's hand. He was a stranger but judging from what she saw, she suspected that he was Zorion Atkinson.
Women in many rich and powerful families were viewed as worthless. A plaything for men to play with and use however they wished.
She was lucky. She had a good life. Her father had married her off to STristanas. A man who thought highly of her and treated her well.
There were of course women with whom STristanas had slept with and then passed them off to other men. They were rode hard and put away wet.
It wasn't that Eloisa was naive and did not know about these things. It was just that...
So what if she knew? It wouldn't change a thing. STristanas was smart and capable. He would never have allowed an illegitimate child to exist. Women were disposable to him. To put it bluntly, anything that he had used, he would never reuse. So how was it possible that he would have an illegitimate child?
Therefore, STristanas only had three children, two sons and a daughter. All of whom were born by Eloisa. Her children definitely increased Eloisa's status in the Cook family.
Syncere's wife had died young. As the Cook family was a place of servitude and order, she as the eldest daughter-in-law of the family naturally had to manage the affairs of the Cook family.
In the past few years, she thus enjoyed unlimited glory.
Of course, Eloisa was astute. She knew that it was common for men to have affairs with other women. Therefore, their children were bargaining chips to solidify their status.
At first, Eloisa thought that MLexienna's life would be fine and turn out to be like hers. After all, she had two brothers. However, now that trouble is here, how could Eloisa not know what was going to happen? Eloisa could tell from this young man's eyes that he was not an ordinary person. His gaze was hard. She knew that her daughter would be in danger.
It was such a pity that she could not do anything as her mother.
Noble families were truly an abyss of suffering. Even with all their prestige, their hands were tied. They did not have to worry about putting a roof over their heads or when their next meal was going to come, but they led a miserable life.
At least the men still had a way out, the women on the other hand...
Eloisa gripped her daughter's hand tightly, alarming MLexienna. She looked at her mother and then back at Jepherson sitting on the sofa. An image of Raeleigh falling suddenly flashed through her mind. Terror sealed her throat.
"It wasn't me! It wasn't me! I won't do it again!" MLexienna cried as she stumbled backwards. She wanted to turn around and run, but she was blocked by the Cook's family staff at the door. Eloisa's was frantic. "What should I do? What should I do?"
Eloisa, whose face was as pale as death, looked at Syncere and said, "Dad, please save MLexienna. She is still young and ignorant. I will ground her and ban her from leaving the house. I will make sure she does not leave the house ever again!"
Eloisa knew that Syncere was the only one who could save MLexienna now. She hoped that Syncere would let MLexienna off the hook because she was the flesh and blood of the Cook family. Syncere sighed and glanced at Jepherson as he said, "Mr. Harvey, it's up to you. I've kept my end of the promise by bringing you to my granddaughter."
MLexienna stopped when she heard Syncere's words. She turned around and looked at her grandfather, who doted on her the most. Syncere had always said that he would find her a good husband to marry in the future, but now...
MLexienna stared at her grandfather, but he did not look at her.
Eloisa was overwhelmed. She fell to her knees as a realisation dawned upon her. "Does this mean that my daughter is going to die?"
MLexienna was a very beautiful girl. Men would get lost in her attractive eyes. This was one reason why Syncere treated her well. Girls were very useful in rich and powerful families, especially beautiful girls. MLexienna shook her head and looked at Jepherson. She ran to him and dropped to her knees before him.
Stuart frowned at the sight. Actually, it was not Mr. Harvey who was unwilling to let her off the hook. It was her own family. The Cook family thought that with MLexienna was gone, this matter would be settled. Unfortunately, this wasn't Jepherson's intentions at all.
The reason why Jepherson was there was because he wanted to ask the Cook family to leave Capital City. Then, all will be forgiven.
However, the Cook family were reluctant to give up their status in Capital City. Thus, it was impossible to settle the matter even if they offered MLexienna in exchange not to leave.
Even Stuart himself could see through Mr. Richard's intentions. He did not believe that the Cook family was blind to it.
It seemed that the Cook family's plan was to sacrifice MLexienna and continue staying in Capital City. Unfortunately for them, their plan would not work.
"Miss Cook, you're begging the wrong person. You should be begging your grandfather. What Mr. Jepherson's wants is for the Cook family to leave Capital City and never return. Not only that, they must have nothing to do with the city. Furthermore Miss Cook, you must not go near Raeleigh and endanger her. Then, you will be safe and sound."
When Stuart realised that MLexienna was about to beg, he firmly reminded her as well as the Cook family that it was impossible for this matter to be settled with a a mere slip of a girl.
In Jepherson's eyes, MLexienna was not fit to even lick his boots.
MLexienna slowly raised her head. Syncere, STristanas and the rest of them sat still like stone and pretended they didn't see the turmoil in her eyes. Her family were obviously unhappy about this matter but none of them lifted a finger to help. Because honestly, if it wasn't for MLexienna, they wouldn't be in this position. The Cook Family would not have been forced into such a dead end by Jepherson. MLexienna rushed to kneel in front of Syncere. She grabbed his hand and begged, "Grandpa, please save me. I promise I will be good in the future. I will not make anymore troubles. I promise to get married after graduation."
In fact, MLexienna knew that people like her would not have a good fate. She was willing to marry even an old man or a playboy.
After all, her father was such a person. She could not ask for more. Her mother had taught her that daughters had to be considerate of their parents.
Although she did not agree, but she could not complain.
However, today she had no way out. She regretted treating Raeleigh so badly. She would not have done that if she what would happen.
"There's nothing I can do. You're responsible for the survival of our family. We have been in Capital City for so many years. We are never going to leave this place. If Mr. Harvey is willing to let you go, then I will naturally protect you. You're my granddaughter. How can I not pity you? My days may be numbered, but what about your parents, relatives and siblings, how are they going to survive?"
Syncere's words were very touching. However, Eloisa scoffed. They were throwing her daughter to the wolves.
