Chapter 296

Loretta’s expression turned grave. “Suzanne, aren’t you interfering a bit too much? Our affairs. have
nothing to do with you. And please, take your friend and move out right now.”
Mila was stunned.
Loretta sat in a graceful posture and spoke deliberately, “Back then, I was afraid that you would bother
Nate at Sudvilla. That’s why I agreed to let you stay at our place.
“You can no longer be with Nate now that he has agreed to marry Sally. I don’t care where you go, but
you must leave Hoffis Manor.”
Mila forced a smile and replied calmly, “I’ll leave, but not now.”
“I have let you stay here for ten days. I’ve reached my limit, and it’s not up to you to decide. Leave
today, or my men will show you the door and take you to the police,” Loretta warned.
Phoebe turned to Mila and said, “Mila, let’s get out of here.”
Mila’s eyes bored into Loretta’s. She couldn’t bring herself to hate her. Loretta was her grandmother,
after all.
Mila was already at the end of her rope with Sally and Oliver, but Loretta was still adding fuel to the fire.
There would be no one to protect Zach and Loretta if Mila and Phoebe left Hoffis Manor. Mila remained
worried even with Nathan’s men around.
“I’m not leaving,” Mila emphasized each word.
Sally couldn’t contain her anger and got to her feet. “Are you out of your mind?”
“Nathan should have been my husband. Now that I’ve handed him over to you, harm in me staying
here a little longer?” Mila argued.

Loretta took a stack of checks out of her bag. She slowly filled in the amounts and signed them before
handing them to Mila.
“This will buy you a nice villa, and you’ll have no worries for the rest of your life.”
Mila didn’t accept the check. She felt hurt that Loretta had tried to pay her off again.
She didn’t think Nathan would marry Sally for the sake of wealth. She knew that Nathan’s marriage to
Sally would be a way of cutting Oliver out of the inheritance. This would make Oliver think twice before
hurting Zach and Loretta.
Mila leaned close to Phoebe’s ear and whispered, “Phoebe, stay here and watch over my grandpa. I’ll
be back soon.”
“Okay,” Phoebe answered quietly.
Mila left without another thought.
“she’s gone, why aren’t vou
leaving?” Loretta questioned.
Phoebe smiled thinly and replied in a sweet tone, “Madam Hoffis, I’m going back to my room for now.
I’ll let you know when I’m ready to leave.”
She then went up the stairs.
Sally pointed at Phoebe with a displeased expression. “Grandma, what’s wrong with her?”
Loretta frowned. She seemed lost in thought.
After leaving Hoffis Manor, Mila hailed a taxi. The night sky was pitch black. Vehicles whizzed by under
the bright neon lights of the busy avenue.
It had been eight days since the last time she had seen Nathan, when he had fallen ill at Hoffis
Manor.
Mila called Nathan’s number. He answered right away as if he had expected her to call him that night.
“Wanda.”
“Nate, where

“Nate, where are you? I want to see you tonight.”
