“Hehe!” Jessica chuckled, “Martin, let me make one thing clear. I don’t care about your business, and you better not care about mine. And also, please find your place in this house. I’m the one who calls the shots here!”
“You…” Martin was out of breath and almost couldn’t catch it. “You’ve already caused Leo and Sophia to divorce. What else do you want to do to him?”
“You’ll soon know what I want to do with him. For the sake of this family, I have no choice but to do this.”
“For the sake of this family, my heart is broken into pieces! You don’t care about me but go care about a son-in-law who has been kicked out of our home? Do you think that’s appropriate?” Jessica asked coldly.
Martin was speechless beyond words; he really had made a mistake by marrying such a woman.
Thankfully Sophia and Tina didn’t follow Jessica; otherwise…
“Oh yeah, by the way, give Leo a call and tell him to come back and stay here,” Jessica thought it would be more scientific for Martin to make that call.
Martin refused decisively, “I don’t have the face for that!”
“Say that again!?” Jessica’s eyes widened as her tiger aura erupted.
This time Martin didn’t back down; he looked directly into Jessica’s eyes and replied firmly, “I won’t make that call because you just said not to interfere in your affairs!”
“Martin! You heartless bastard! Get outta here!” Jessica grabbed a pillow at random from behind her and threw it at Martin.
After the pillow hit Martin and fell to the ground, Martin reluctantly picked it up and looked at Jessica, sighing, “Jessica, let me advise you, the current Leo is not the same Leo as before. If you do something unforgivable to him, you will regret it!”
“Get lost!!!” Jessica exploded in anger.
…
These days, besides seeing patients in the clinic, Leo spent his time developing formulas for face masks and creams.
Half a month later, Leo & Rose Cosmetics officially launched their new line of face masks and creams. The limited edition gift sets sold out within a few hours.
With excellent product quality, the reputation of Leo & Rose Cosmetics began to spread throughout Atraria. More and more customers from other cities called the company’s customer service to inquire about when they could open stores in their cities.
Rosemary then developed a plan to expand Leo & Rose Cosmetics’ stores to malls and supermarkets nationwide within two years. They also launched an online sales channel, which experienced a massive surge in traffic and caused the website to crash on the same day.
With the tremendous word-of-mouth publicity, the market value of Leo & Rose Cosmetics kept multiplying geometrically. Even Leo himself may not have realized that he had already secured a place among the wealthy elite in Langstel.
On the other side, inside a luxury car, a man with small eyes and a somewhat sleazy appearance was driving, while a fat and big-eared man sat in the passenger seat.
“Are you sure the news is true, that there’s a divine doctor at the Nameless Clinic?” The fat man, holding a cigar, took a deep puff and asked the man with small eyes who was driving.
The man with small eyes, named Brayan Haggai, replied, “Absolutely true. Not only did he cure Harry’s father, but he also cured a terminal illness like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Many big shots in Langstel have sought his medical treatment. He’s truly a divine doctor!”
Although Curtis Calder was not particularly interested in this so-called divine doctor, he didn’t question it either, compelled by his older brother to come all the way to Langstel.
Finally, the car stopped outside the residential area where Willow lived.
“We’ve arrived, Mr. Calder,” Brayan quickly got out of the car to open the door for Curtis.
“Is this the place we’re staying?” Curtis, with a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at the neighborhood with disdain.
In fact, Willow’s residence was not bad. It was a six-story building without an elevator. However, in the eyes of the wealthy Calder family, this kind of neighborhood was no different from a slum.
After parking the car, Curtis and Brayan entered Building Three, Unit Two. As they climbed the stairs, they happened to meet a beautiful woman wearing a white dress coming down.
“Willow!?” Curtis’s face brightened when he saw the woman in the white dress, and he hurriedly called out.
Seeing Willow in her white pleated skirt and fishnet stockings, Brayan couldn’t help but gulp, thinking that the abandoned daughter of the Calder family was indeed beautiful.
“Curtis!?” Willow frowned when she saw the man in front of her, somewhat surprised.
“You child, how can you speak like that? Are you so disrespectful to your uncle?” Curtis reprimanded in a soft voice.
“Uncle Curtis!?” Willow sneered, “Wasn’t I kicked out of the family by all of you? How come you’re still my uncle?”
“Oh, well, isn’t it because of your grandfather… But who let your mother have an affair back then, and it happened to be caught by your grandfather.” Curtis said helplessly.
“Affair!?” Willow’s eyes instantly turned cold.
Even though she had a calm personality, her emotions couldn’t be controlled when she heard someone insulting her mother like that.
The Calder family had been smearing her mother for over a decade, and now that she had gone, they still continued to heap blame on her.
“Do you have the audacity to say that? It was that scum who first found himself a vixen outside! He’s the one who slandered my mother!” Willow’s fair face turned slightly red with anger, her ample chest rising and falling.
Thinking of Reuben Calder, the eldest son of the Calder family, Willow couldn’t help but wish to tear him apart!
“You bastard! That’s your father, how can you speak of him like that!” Curtis’s face turned cold, and he angrily retorted.
“Father? That kind of person deserves to be called a father?!” Willow’s face turned icy, her heart filled with resentment. “Did he fulfill his duty of raising me even for a single day?”
“When I was in the family, he would stay out all night, never caring about me for a moment. And after I was kicked out of the family, did he ever come to see me? Does that kind of person deserve to be called a father?!”
“Oh, Willow, why do you hold grudges like this?” Curtis softened his tone and tried to explain. “Your father has his own reasons, and when you meet him, he will explain everything to you.”
“No need. If he wants to explain, he can hurry up and die, go to the depths of the underworld to explain it to my mom.” Willow sneered and continued walking downstairs.
She didn’t know why Curtis came here, but regardless of what he wanted to do, it had nothing to do with her.
“Willow, Willow, don’t be in such a hurry, listen to me, the family truly regrets what they did to you and your mom. That’s why I came to find you.” Curtis panicked when he saw Willow leaving and hurriedly followed her.
