Female Novel
Chapter 1703
When Cindy saw Ian coming, she smiled helplessly as he was rather clingy for some reason today.Under his intense gaze, she somehow managed to finish frying all the dishes. Then, they took all theplates to the table, after which she turned around and was ready to wake Aurora up.
However, Ian's phone suddenly rang again, which made Cindy stop reflexively. Next, he picked up thephone and looked at it with a strange feeling. The number was an unfamiliar one, but it was definitelylocal. Ian did not have many friends and he knew everyone’s phone numbers, so he really didn’t knowwho this was. After waiting for a while and noticing that the ringing did not seem like it was stoppingany time soon, he had to pick up the call. As he did so, an angry voice came full of cursing.
Even though it had been a long time since they last met, Ian could recognize at once whose voice thiswas. It was not Simon nor Sally, but Leah. Leah usually behaved gracefully and elegantly in theMorgan Residence, but now, she was simply full of filthy words. She cursed that Ian was up to no goodand that he only wanted to come back to divide the assets now that the old man was dying. Then, shesaid he had not lived in the family residence for many years and so was not qualified to demand apenny from the Morgan Family. Besides, she also said that he was an illegitimate son, so he was notqualified to appear in front of the people of the Morgan Family.
Since Leah's voice was obstreperous, Cindy could hear her words even though she was some distanceaway from Ian. She was so exasperated that she walked to his side and wanted to scold back.Although she did not know how to curse others, she refused to let others bully him.
However, he seemed to know what she was about to do. So, he raised his hand and pressed onCindy's shoulder. Even without saying anything, she understood that he wanted her to calm down.While laughing, he directly interrupted Leah's incessant tirade and commented, "Just because you’rethe legal wife of Bryce Morgan, does that mean Simon and Sally are his legitimate children? Have you
forgotten what kind of status you had back then?" novelbin
At the other end of the line, Leah gave a start before she started cursing again. Even though Ianrefused to curse, it didn’t mean that the facts he stated did not hurt.
Ian ignored her scolding before he said, "Didn’t your boss at the nightclub tell you that even afterwrecking someone’s marriage, if you become the legal wife later, you’re still considered thehomewrecker? Do you think you’re better than others? Do you believe I can immediately search forsomeone to find out all the things you did before you two officially married? That nightclub you used towork at hasn’t closed down yet, so the staff there may still remember you and what you did."
The moment Leah heard this, she fell silent. She did not come from a good background, so she haddone a lot of work that she was ashamed of. It was only later when she had money that she tried towhitewash everything. Later, it took her a lot of effort to meet Bryce. She knew that the man was onlyplaying with her heart, but she was unwilling to concede. After that, she concocted a plan to hiresomeone to catch her and Bryce in bed. At that time, the commotion was quite large and while Brycewas actually quite angry too, he had no choice but to agree to the marriage with Leah due to thenegative effects of public opinion on the company.
He was still haunted by this matter after many years and Leah knew that there were no real feelingsbetween them both. She was already old and sallow, so Bryce no longer harbored any love for her. Shejust wanted to wait; since he was much older than she was, if she took good care of herself, she wouldbe able to wait for the day when she inherited all of his assets. The opportunity is here now anyway!
During this time, she had been trying to figure out how many liquid and non-liquid assets Bryce owned.As she did not want to let go of a single cent, she had people monitoring at the hospital to see how
