Chapter 279

“What’s our plan?”
Mila hesitated briefly before turning to Phoebe. “We’re going to stay at Hoffis Manor,” she declared.
Phoebe’s expression turned incredulous. “Stay at Hoffis Manor? Are you serious?”
Mila sighed. “It’s the only way you can be close enough to protect my grandparents.”
Without further discussion, Phoebe headed inside to pack their belongings.
An hour later, in the luxurious villa of Hoffis Manor, Mila and Phoebe stood in the living room, each with
a suitcase beside them.
The staff of Hoffis Manor exchanged puzzled glances, their skepticism evident as they observed the
two unfamiliar women.
Loretta was equally stunned, gazing at their suitcases with disbelief. She couldn’t help but feel shocked
and slightly amused by the
situation.
“When did Hoffis Manor become a shelter?” Loretta’s tone drippe with disdain. “Who gave you the
audacity to assume you can stay in my house? It’s laughable and embarrassing. Where do you get the
nerve to make such requests?”
Mila remained composed as she replied, “Grandma, I’m divorced now and have nowhere else to go. I
just hoped to stay at Hoffis Manor for a few days.”
Loretta let out a cold snort, finding the situation utterly ridiculous. ” Robert, escort these guests out,”
she ordered the butler.
As Mila and Phoebe turned to leave, Mila muttered, “Fine, I’ll just go
back to Nathan’s house.”
Suddenly feeling uneasy, Loretta called out, “Wait!”
Mila and Phoebe exchanged a glance, smiling faintly as they turned
back to face Loretta.
After a brief pause, Loretta relented, “Our family owns several villas. Take your pick. Or if you prefer,
you can stay at any hotel.”
Mila pursed her lips and shook her head, adopting a slightly playful tone as she murmured, “I only have
eyes for Sudvilla and Hoffis. Manor. If I can’t stay here, then I’ll head to Sudvilla.”
Loretta’s fury was evident, her glare piercing as she huffed in cold disdain. “You are truly shameless.”
Undeterred by Loretta’s hostility, Mila turned to Phoebe. “Phoebe, what did Nathan say earlier?”
Phoebe nodded in understanding, clearing her throat before relaying Nathan’s message. “Mr. Morrison
said he wants to remarry you.”
Mila replied coolly, “Well, that’s not entirely out of the question…
Loretta’s anger surged, her voice resonating through the room as commanded, “Robert, prepare two
guest rooms for them!”
Mila’s smile was radiant as she graciously thanked Loretta, “Thank you, Grandma.”
With that, she passed her luggage to the maid and grabbed Phoebe’s hand, leading the way toward the
second floor.
Here, in her former home, everything felt achingly familiar. Yet, she never anticipated returning under
someone else’s guise and being met with such hostility from her own grandmother.
Two hours later, Sally returned from her shopping trip to find the living. adorned with luxury goods.
However, her good mood vanished instantly upon learning that two strangers had moved into her
house.
When she discovered it was Suzanne, her anger intensified.
Sally’s voice reverberated with fury throughout the mansion. “I didn’t agree to this! Get them out of here
immediately.”
Oliver hurried back from the hospital upon receiving the news.
In the grand living room, Mila and Phoebe sat calmly on the sofa, observing the scene before them.
Sally was furious, her expression dark and imposing as she vowed to defend her stance at any cost.
In contrast, Oliver, despite his initial shock, appeared more excited than anything else.
However, doubts lingered in his mind. Reason dictated that no matter how desperate Suzanne might
be, she couldn’t possibly move into Hoffis Manor.
Furthermore, she had arrived with a woman he had never seen before.
Sally pointed at the door, her voice low and menacing as she addressed Mila and Phoebe, “Leave.”
With a sly grin, Mila rose to her feet and retorted calmly, “Your grandmother permitted me to stay here.
You have no authority to
intervene.”
Sally clenched her teeth, narrowing her gaze suspiciously. “Suzanne, what scheme are you plotting?
What devious plan do you have in mind?”
Mila retorted, “Ms. Hoffis, when it comes to scheming, I’m no match for you. Don’t worry. I simply felt
unsettled that you took my husband
away.
“So, I’ve decided to stay here for a while and give you a hard time. Perhaps it’ll make me feel a bit
better. That’s all.”
