The Divorcee and Her Three Chaotic Children

Chapter 7

“Why should I be nervous?” Jameson cowered under William’s sharp gaze. He couldn’t help but

explain what he found out. “Do you know what Luci just did? He sneaked back to his room alone and

sat by the window to enjoy the scenery with an umbrella in hand. Gianna apparently told him that he

could fly if he jumped off with the umbrella! Good thing I found out in time or it’d be disastrous!”

William’s expression froze, and then his face darkened completely.

His gaze became even shaper. Following a short pause, he said, “Gianna is Luci’s aunt. She’s always

been kind to him. Go and get the ser vants to put away all the umbrellas at home.”

He said this as if he was trying to defend Gianna.

Jameson wasn’t satisfied with his response, saying, “You’d better be on guard against her. If she has ill

intentions, then…”

He hesitated to finish his sentence because William was looking at him with a sinister gaze.

Jameson had no choice but to accept his fate and drop the topic. “Fine. Pretend I didn’t say anything.”

He stormed out of the door and brushed past Marshall on his way out.

Marshall stood at the door. He had too many things to report, so despite his worries, he lowered his

voice and said, “Something’s wrong, sir.”

William was agitated and depressed in the first place, so he couldn’t control his emotions. When he

was disturbed again, his aura became even colder. “Keep talking.”

“Someone seemed to have messed with our security system just now, and the surveillance footage

was interrupted for more than 10 minutes. But I couldn’t find anything strange about the villa.”

“Get someone to follow this up! Strengthen the security and have someone watch over Luci!”

William frowned, and his eyes were unreadable. Their family had some of the best security systems in

the world, and this had never happened

before.

He couldn’t help but connect this to the series of strange events that happened earlier in the day.

“See if this has anything to do with that woman.”

“I’ve checked, but I’ve got nothing,” Marshall replied. “But that woman is a complete mystery. Forgive

my incompetence, but I couldn’t find anything about her except for her name so far. H-her name is…

Olivia Clarke.”

Marshall couldn’t help but swallow uneasily.

Everyone in Melburgh knew that the name “Olivia Clarke” was taboo for William.

Even so, the mysterious woman who had appeared out of nowhere was also called Olivia Clarke!

Marshall, who was still standing, could already see her being forced to leave Melburgh in a sorry state.

“Olivia Clarke?”

There was obvious anger on William’s face.

Marshall tried to analyze the situation, saying, “They have the same name, but they look completely

different. It’s probably a coincidence.”

Their former Madam had, after all, passed away five years ago. It was impossible for her to come back

to life. Furthermore, their appearances and personalities were vastly different.

William’s face darkened. “Keep investigating! There must be something wrong with her!”

There was no way that the woman who paid respects to his grandfather would coincidentally be named

Olivia Clarke.

He even felt that she had something to do with the hacking of the villa’s security system tonight.

Moreover…

Even though the woman’s face was undeniably different, there was a fatal sense of familiarity about

her. This feeling made him feel suffocated, and he felt like his heart was about to explode.

“Yes, sir!” Marshall took a careful look at his boss’s face before saying, “There’s one more thing. Miss

Clarke is being slandered online, and she’s been trending for a while now. Should I take care of it?” He

handed over his tablet to William, and the trending topics about Gianna on the screen were eye-

catching.

William merely glanced at the screen before tossing the tablet irritably. “Don’t bother me with something

so trivial.”

One after another came up to him to badmouth Gianna, but she had been around with him all these

years. He knew her actions vely well.

He didn’t need anyone to educate him.

Chapter 7

“Yes, sir.”

Ezra didn’t fall asleep at all. He was afraid that if he did, his mom would break in and kidnap him.

He lay on the bed and listened for a while. Then, he got out of bed and sneaked up to the door of

William’s study.

Of course, he could only stay outside the door.

He did feel that it was a little rude to put his ear on the door to eavesdrop, but the bigger problem was

that he couldn’t hear anything at all.

“Huh? I think I can hear better now!

“Scu mbag! How dare you investigate Mom ?

“I can’t let Mom fall into the hands of a scu mbag like you!

“Wait… Why is the door moving?

“Yikes!” he thought.

The door swung open, and Ezra instantly lost his center of gravity and plunged forward.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and hugged the thigh of the person in front of him.

“Luci? What are you doing here?” When William saw his son clinging to his leg, his anger died down

and his eyes softened.

He looked down and saw his son opening his arms to him, so he picked the boy up.

He was surprised that Lucian would get so close to him after he started speaking.

This was great!

Ezra couldn’t let his scu mbag dad find out that he was eavesdropping, so he came up with a random

excuse. Suppressing his disgust, he put on a cute look and said, “Daddy, can you sleep with me?”

Even though William was Lucian’s biological dad and cared a lot for him, they weren’t close because

Lucian couldn’t speak. That was what Jameson told him, anyway.

Therefore, Ezra was sure that his scu mbag dad wouldn’t agree to his request. Then, that would be the

perfect opportunity for him to get out of his predicament.

But, to his surprise…

William agreed without hesitation. “Sure.”

Usually, he would push for his son to be independent, but Lucian had gone through too much today. He

couldn’t bear to turn Lucian down.

“What?

“What the hell? Did I get the wrong memo?

“I thought they weren’t close!” Ezra thought.

He felt as if he had shot himself in the foot.

The thought of sharing a bed with such a scu mbag made him want to ram his head into the wall.

But he was completely at William’s mercy at the moment. He had no choice but to sacrifice himself for

his mom.

The next morning.

Olivia woke up to the sound of a message notification. She took out her phone and turned on the

screen. It was a Skype message from Ezra.

She clicked on the message and a man’s handsome sleeping face appeared in the chat.

The handsome man was none other than William.

The drawing of a giant turtle on his face, on the other hand, was probably the work of the brat, Ezra.

She liked it. Her son’s taste was quite to her liking.

She was feeling quite happy when another message came in. “Mom, this jerk is investigating you!

Please be careful when I’m not around! But Mom, don’t worry. I’m here for you. If he dares to hurt you,

I’ll turn him into a real turtle!”

Then, another message came in.

“I’ll come back after tormenting him for a few days. Please keep safe while I’m away. Don’t miss me too

much. I love you!”

The message also came with a cute selfie of Ezra.
