“I-I’m sorry, please forgive me,” Fanny experienced firsthand the terror of Bob. At this moment, begging for mercy was the wisest choice.
Bob stood up and looked at Fanny as if she were a dead person, throwing a remark, “If you dare to show up here again, I will make you disappear from this world, get lost!”
Enduring the pain, Fanny mustered all her strength and crawled out of the entrance of Sophia Cosmetics.
The three thugs she had brought with her were also thrown out by Bevis and Chasel.
After completing all of this, Bob approached Sophia and apologetically said, “Sister-in-law, sorry for being late and scaring you.”
“Bob, thank you,” Sophia expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart.
Bob waved his hand, “Leo and I are like brothers. You don’t have to…”
Mid-sentence, Bob realized and quickly changed his words, “Sister-in-law, rest assured, as long as I’m in Langstel, no one can bully you!”
“Did Leo ask you to secretly protect me, right?” Sophia asked directly.
Bob knew that he couldn’t hide such things from the shrewd Sophia, so he simply nodded candidly.
“Bob, please tell Leo that I’ve already divorced him, he doesn’t need to treat me like this,” Sophia said with a deep sense of sadness in her tone.
“Sister-in-law, the divorce between Leo and you has its own reasons…” Bob, as an outsider, couldn’t reveal the true reason to Sophia.
Besides, Leo had instructed him not to inform her temporarily to avoid worrying her.
Sophia smiled bitterly, “Even if there are reasons, but the marriage is over, my heart has already…”
“Sister-in-law, if Leo returns to you, would you remarry him?” Bob knew he shouldn’t ask such a question, but he couldn’t help himself.
“Remarry? I don’t know. My mind is in turmoil right now,” Sophia’s face showed the painful expression that she had worked hard to suppress.
Matters of the heart were Leo and Sophia’s private affair, and Bob didn’t want to interfere too much.
“Well, the matter is resolved, and we won’t disturb your work here anymore. Sister-in-law, if you need any help, just give me a call. Don’t hesitate, we’re leaving,” Bob said, leaving with Bevis and Chasel.
Sophia saw them off and expressed her gratitude once again.
Three days later, in the morning.
Location: Nameless Clinic.
Outside the clinic, Willow wore black clothes, holding a box of her mother’s ashes in her hands, with her mother’s black and white photo on the box.
The woman in the photo had a dignified and elegant face. While not exceptionally beautiful, she exuded an excellent temperament.
At this moment, Willow’s eyes were red, and tears shimmered in her eyes.
Soon, the people from the Calder family would appear here and kowtow to her mother’s ashes in apology. In the past, this was something Willow could never have imagined.
Two cars approached the Nameless Clinic, one in the front and one behind.
In the leading car, Reuben was driving, and his current wife, Caylee, sat in the passenger seat.
Caylee had a scowling face and reluctantly repeated a sentence she had already said at least ten times, “I will not kowtow to that bitch!”
Once upon a time, Caylee had put in a lot of effort to push Willow’s mother aside, and now she was being asked to kowtow and apologize to a defeated subordinate. It was simply ridiculous!
Reuben drove while admonishing, “Stop being stubborn. Can’t you see that my Dad is right behind us? Both my Dad and I will have to kneel and kowtow!”
Caylee rolled her eyes, “I have no idea what got into your Dad’s head. He’s actually going to kowtow to that bitch. If this gets out, the Calder family will become a laughingstock.”
“You better shut up. If you don’t kneel and apologize when we reach that clinic, we’ll get a divorce!” Reuben threatened.
Five or six minutes later, the two cars stopped, one in front of the other, on the road outside the clinic.
The car doors opened, and Vance, supported by Curtis, stepped out of the vehicle.
When Vance saw Willow holding the box of ashes in her hands, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
“Little girl, you’ve grown up and become successful. That’s good,” Vance said with a forced smile as he walked up to Willow, leaning on his cane.
At first, Willow was a bit nervous, but upon hearing Vance’s sarcastic words, she not only calmed down but also felt her chest fill with hatred.
It was this old bastard who, in front of everyone in the Calder family, beat her mother.
“You should consider yourself lucky that you’re still alive and have the chance to come here and settle your debts,” Willow’s voice was icy cold.
Caylee stepped forward, pointing angrily at Willow and threatening, “You little bitch, don’t think that having a doctor backing you up will make you invincible. I advise you to make your wild man cure your grandfather’s illness quickly, or your mother will suffer the consequences!”
“Caylee, shut up!” Reuben was afraid of provoking Leo, who was standing next to Willow, so he quickly reprimanded her.
“Reuben, when did you become such a coward? Are you really going to kneel down to a bitch!?” Caylee’s anger flared up, and she shouted.
Reuben raised his hand, preparing to slap her.
Caylee tilted her head back and angrily yelled, “Hit me if you dare!”
Reuben’s hand hesitated and didn’t come down.
“This woman’s mouth is too ugly; tear it off,” Willow looked at Reuben and calmly spoke.
Reuben was taken aback, put down his right hand, and looked at Willow.
Willow clearly remembered that Caylee had said the same words to her mother, and when Caylee attacked her mother, Reuben just stood by, watching coldly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
An eye for an eye, it was time for Caylee to experience that pain.
Reuben couldn’t bear to hit Caylee, let alone tear off her mouth. He awkwardly smiled and said, “Willow, calm down, how about we just forget about it?”
“Forget about it? Then you can leave!” Willow held the box of ashes and turned to walk into the clinic.
“Willow, don’t go!” Reuben panicked.
Caylee had reached her limit and rushed towards Willow, ready to teach her a harsh lesson.
Reuben quickly grabbed her and, as Caylee struggled, slapped her across the face, saying, “Calm down!”
“How dare you hit me?” Caylee was first stunned, then her face became ferocious, and she screamed, reaching out to scratch Reuben’s face.
Reuben resisted and dodged, but Caylee’s sharp nails left bloody marks on his face.
Curtis, who was standing to the side, not only didn’t intervene but rather gloated, saying, “Big brother, you’re supposed to be the pillar of our family. Being beaten by a woman, what does that say about your dignity?”
