Chapter 1070 She Has a Good Mother-In-Law Chloe was calling the Pierce family.
Through the window, she could still see Simon sitting slumped outside the iron gate. Her heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes. However, she refused to let anyone see her cry...
Yes, why had she been so foolish? The moment she decided to become Simon's temporary bride, she knew she would become a laughingstock for everyone.
The ladies in their circle mocked her, claiming that she was desperate for connections.
The outsiders sneered at her, accusing her of being a gold digger who clung to Simon. They were sure she would eventually be cast aside.
Everyone was waiting for her to get divorced so they could mock her.
Initially, she did not care about all of this. She believed that as long as Simon was by her side, she would stand by him, and that would be enough...
Or perhaps, in the past, she would have left sadly, wanting nothing more, and then hidden away in a corner to nurse her wounds silently...
However, tonight, her thoughts suddenly changed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy should she do that? Why should she sacrifice so much and try to prove her innocence? After all... as long as she abandoned any sense of moral standards, no one else could hold it against her! The call connected.
Mrs. Pierce's voice sounded slightly groggy, with a nasal tone. "Hello... Chloe?" Chloe tightened her grip on the phone.
She had gathered her courage, but now she felt a twinge of nervousness.
pL Mrs. Pierce inquired, "What's the matter? Did that boy Simon upset you?" After Simon was kicked out of the house, the elders of the Pierce family were aware that Chloe had kicked him out.
The two of them turned a blind eye and hoped that Simon would wake up from now on...
Mrs. Pierce sensed that something was amiss. Chloe would usually call to report her safety, but it was the first time she had called in the middle of the night.
"What happened?" Mrs. Pierce asked.
Chloe clenched her stomach, gritting her teeth, and inquired, "Mrs. Pierce, Elsa came looking for Simon tonight.” Mrs. Pierce was so enraged that she sat up straight in bed and unleashed a stream of curses. "That wench!" Mr. Pierce instantly opened his eyes, sitting up and joining in the cursing. "That wicked lady!" Though his face still showed signs of sleepiness, it was only right to curse first.
Chloe inexplicably felt her nose tingling and continued, "Elsa told me to leave and demanded that | return all the properties under Simon's name to her." Mrs. Pierce sneered angrily, "She thinks she can have it all! Drive her out! To hell with her! Well, wait till | get there!" Chloe did not feel particularly wronged before, but now she suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of injustice...
Her voice choked up as she added, "I drove her away..." Mrs. Pierce responded, "Good job!" Chloe went on, "But... | drove Simon away too." Mrs. Pierce was taken aback, but still said, "Well done!" It must have been that brat Simon who did something to disappoint Chloe. Mrs. Pierce knew without a doubt that that worthless thing must have shown favoritism towards Elsa over Chloe.
Mrs. Pierce felt incredibly frustrated, wishing she could turn iron into steel. She was even more frustrated by the fact that she had given birth to such a simp.
Yet, the Pierce family only had a son...
At this moment, Mrs. Pierce even considered if they had a grandchild, they would send Simon to Africa and let the child stay here.
When Chloe heard that Mrs. Pierce stood by her side without hesitation, her tears were uncontrollable.
She continued, "Mrs. Pierce, Elsa demanded that | return all the real estate and property, claiming that | have impure motives and ulterior motives..." Before she could finish speaking, she heard Mrs. Pierce interject, "Bah! What kind of person is she? Does she think she's pure? It's so infuriating!" Chloe responded, "So, do | have to repay it? Now... I've broken up with Simon. If | want a divorce, I..." Mrs. Pierce interrupted her once again, saying, "You don't have to repay anything. Even if you get divorced, Simon owes you.
Don't try to prove your innocence foolishly. Why would you wanna live a miserable life for the rest of your days?" This time, Chloe cried.
Though she had not experienced much in terms of love, her pursuit had ultimately turned into a joke.
But... she never expected to have such a wonderful mother-in-law.
Initially, she had prepared herself that if the Pierce family asked her to repay the property, even just half of it, or provide some compensation...
Then she would not mention the fact that she was pregnant and would leave on her own...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, there were truly many assets under Simon's name. She had thought that if she were to divorce, the Pierce family would not be so easygoing, or perhaps their previous words were just to comfort her.
She had not expected...
"Mom..." Chloe suddenly burst into tears, her sobs leaving her breathless, crying so intensely that she could not even speak.
This was the first time Chloe called her mother, and Mrs. Pierce hurriedly said, "Hey, my good girl, don't cry, don't cry. There's really no need to cry. That brat isn't worth it..." Chloe sobbed, "Mom, I'm pregnant.” Mrs. Pierce responded, "Hey, well... what? What did you say? Pregnant? Pregnant?!" The old lady was startled, quickly getting out of bed and scrambling to change without uttering a word.
"Wait, wait! Mom will come over now, I'm coming over now!" After ending the call, Mrs. Pierce hurriedly made her way out, while Mr. Pierce was left bewildered. Was his daughter-in-law pregnant? Damn it, this useless son was really in for it this time.
After a while, the elders arrived by Chloe's side.
At that moment, Simon was pitifully hugging his knees, leaning against the iron gate, and dozing off.
Suddenly, the sound of a car engine filled the air, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his parents standing before him.
Simon's eyes welled up with tears. "Mom, Dad..." It would be better if his parents pretended not to care about him...
But knowing that he was in trouble, they immediately came to his aid.
However, in the next second, he was pushed aside by Mrs. Pierce.
The two elderly people did not say a word as they rushed inside and closed the door...
Within a matter of seconds, everything fell silent once again.
Simon was left dumbfounded, unable to make sense of what was happening.
