Chapter 1012
“You’re still thinking about
“If they have no future together, then so be it,” Leon’s grandmother, Marianne, cut in before Wilson could finish.
“Mom!”
“No matter how wonderful Monique may be, she’s still just one woman. There are plenty of good women in this world. Leon doesn’t have to marry her.”
Unlike Vivian, neither of the Redson elders was particularly attached to Monique.
If she and Leon could no longer be together, then so be it.
Vivian immediately grew anxious.
“Mom, you know Leon and Monique truly love each other. Jennifer was nothing but a distraction. Leon simply hasn’t realized how deeply he loves Monique yet.”
“Once he finally understands his own heart, it’ll be too late. If Monique is no longer an option by then, he’ll be devastated.”
That was another reason Vivian despised Jennifer so much.
In her mind, Jennifer had come between Leon and Monique.
They had grown up together.
Leon had simply been dazzled by someone from outside their world.
And ever since Stella’s people took Monique away, Leon had been frantic with worry.
He had barely paid attention to the public attacks against Jennifer.
The moment Vivian began talking about true love, both Wilson and his wife’s expressions darkened completely.
“What love?” Marianne snapped. “Have you lost your mind?”
Families like theirs did not make decisions based on romantic feelings,
Yet Vivian was standing there insisting that Leon and Monique were deeply in love.
The older woman’s gaze filled with open disgust.
Vivian’s heart skipped a beat.
How had she forgotten?
Years ago, Vivian had used the same argument, claiming that she and Leon’s father were truly in love, to push aside the daughter -in-law his mother had originally wanted.
That was why Leon’s grandmother had never liked Vivian.
And now, by insisting that Leon and Monique were also deeply in love, Vivian had inadvertently made the older woman dislike Monique too.
Marianne had once been reasonably satisfied with Monique.
But now…
“Monique is no longer suitable for this family,” she declared. “That’s settled.”
Her meaning was clear.
Monique would take responsibility for the scandal.
Two women fighting over the same man was hardly unusual.
Framing the matter that way would also minimize the damage to the Redson family.
Vivian’s face turned pale.
“Mom…”
“Of all the people you could’ve provoked, why did you have to antagonize that Rowan girl?”
The two elders had heard plenty about Stella recently.
Especially how she had gone up against the entire Wright family and won.
Anyone unfortunate enough to make an enemy of a woman like that was asking for trouble.
Most people would have avoided her at all costs.
Vivian, however, had gone out of her way to put herself in Stella’s path.
The colder Marianne’s expression became, the more uneasy Vivian felt.
“We didn’t provoke her,” Vivian protested. “She decided to interfere because of Jennifer.”
The thought filled her with anger all over again.
She had seen people meddle in other people’s affairs before, but never to this extent.
Leon’s grandmother looked even more displeased.
“You knew Jennifer was close to Stella, and you still dared to treat her that way?”
“As Leon’s mother, shouldn’t you have investigated the people surrounding the woman your son was involved with?”
Vivian had known Jennifer’s closest friend was Stella Rowan and had still chosen to bully her.
Now she had finally picked a fight with someone she could not afford to offend.
Vivian fell silent beneath the older woman’s scolding.
She did not dare say another word.
Marianne gave a cold snort.
“Don’t create any more trouble. If the Redson family suffers another loss because of you…’
She paused and looked at Vivian’s pale face.
Then she finished coldly, “You will no longer be part of this family.”
