Ryder and Marina reached an agreement, turned off their mobile phones, and slept.
Sleep in separate rooms with Ryder, Marina thought she would have insomnia, but because she was too tired, she fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.
Early the next morning, the doorbell kept ringing for ten minutes.
Marina rubbed her hair and yawned as she came down from the second floor. Ryder had already opened the door.
Yazmin Gill angrily entered the door. When she saw that they were still sleeping, she was so angry. Mark would have the Langdon family. Why wasn’t her son in a hurry? He was such a crap!
Originally, she had thought that she would come back to the Langdon family after her son took over and inherited the Langdon Group.
Yazmin had been with Colin for many years and still had no position in the Langdon family. Why was she doing this? She had endured it and waited for her son to make a name one day. And then, she would be able to have a position in the Langdon family.
What she wanted was a position in the Langdon family. A position that was recognized by others. As for Colin, she didn’t want him anymore.
She had planned to return to the country. As soon as Yazmin got off the plane, she was shocked by the news on the phone. She went to the Langdon family, but Colin was very cold to her.
“You didn’t get many disciplines as a child of the upstart, didn’t you? What time is it?” Yazmin asked.
Her son was stubborn, and Marina was easier to deal with. So she scolded Marina.
Marina ignored her and did not speak.
“Look at you. You’re wearing pajamas and showing your legs. Who would wear such a dress?”
Yazmin scolded Marina and Marina yawned. She didn’t know why Yazmin said that. She wore it at home and no one cared if she wanted to wear it.
“The girl from a good family will never be a mistress.”
Marina replied. Yazmin was so angry that she patted her chest and complained to Ryder, “Listen to what she said!”
“What are you here for?”
Ryder didn’t want to talk about anything else and he said in disdain. If possible, he didn’t want to see Yazmin in his life. Every time he saw her, he could always remember his sad childhood, which he could never forget.
“You asked me? You crap!”
Yazmin scolded Ryder. The Langdon Group would immediately hold a shareholder meeting. Once Ryder lost, he would be kicked out and left the Langdon family.
She had worked so hard all these years for it. If Ryder lost, all her efforts would have been wasted.
They were both descendants of the Langdon family. Why was it so unfair?
“Because you are the mistress. That’s all.” Ryder said.
Ryder was secretly born. If Mr. Langdon knew about it, Ryder would not be here. Yazmin had concealed it for more than a year.
In the end, Mr. Langdon had to admit that he had an illegitimate son and he had always regarded Ryder as a stain.
If it wasn’t the accident in the Langdon family, Colin would never remember that he had a son called Ryder.
Yazmin’s face was pale after hearing that. She pointed at him and said in a shaking voice, “Are you blaming me for not giving you a good background? If I hadn’t secretly given birth to you, do you think you would live here?”
The illegitimate child also had inheritance rights, and Ryder had a share of the Langdon family’s inheritance.
Yazmin thought that she was the one who made this and did not realize that she had done something wrong.
As for her responsibility, if she had not given him food, Ryder had already died.
They argued with each other. Ryder pursed his lips and did not say a word.
Marina sat on the sofa and thought, ‘The female lead abused Nicole, so Ryder thought of his childhood? So he did it mercilessly and wanted to end it cruelly?’
When she was in the book, Marina found that it was different from what she imagined. She didn’t quite understand why Ryder did this because she found out that he was not a person who put love above everything else. He was cold.
He couldn’t kill his ex-wife for a woman.
Twenty minutes later, Yazmin left angrily. Before she left, she roared, “Even if you disown me, you are still an illegitimate child. I gave birth to you. If you have the ability, give me your life!”
Ryder was irritated. If he could, he wanted to give her his life! He even thought that it was a good choice to kill himself. He only hoped that in the next life, he would have parents and be born in a normal family.
Ryder was silent, and Marina was shocked when she saw Ryder was gloomy.
Yazmin was still able to easily influence him.
Ryder was quite pitiful that he couldn’t get rid of Yazmin.
“I’ll go up and sleep for a while. After we deal with this, we still have to go back to City J. Nicole can’t stay in the Duncan’s forever.”
Marina reminded Ryder. Ryder slowly raised his head, took a deep look at her, and then left.
It was so baffling!
Lying on the soft bed, Marina couldn’t fall asleep and her mind was wandering.
Not long after, her phone rang.
“Miss White, there has been some progress with the things you asked me to check last time.”
It was from the private detective. Marina paid the money and asked the private detective to find where Maeve and her parents were.
The private detective was one of Ryder’s men.
“Where is she?” Marina asked.
She should go to jail.
Marina wished Maeve could disappear from the world. No wonder she had always hated the female lead when she read the book.
“It’s in City J. She came back to pack her things and was about to run away. We sent her original adoptive parents a message. Now, they should have arrived.”
After the private detective finished speaking, he took out his phone and pointed the camera at the window of Maeve’s house, trying to record and stream live it.
Maeve had just moved out of her original house and lived in a two-story building. She had considered a lot before renting this house.
Her original room had two bedrooms and one living room. It was inconvenient to take a man home if she went on a date with a man.
Moreover, her roommate was very beautiful. Maeve was afraid that her man would fall in love with her roommate.
The president of the Langdon family was her goal. How could they be in a small house when they were dating?
Moreover, she had Shawn as her backup, so she was not short of money. She rented the villa to achieve her goals.
After being discovered, Maeve hired a lawyer. The lawyer said that it was not a big deal because the other party did not have conclusive evidence, and they didn’t record the payments. She could deny it and blame the other party.
Moreover, Shawn was in a coma and there was no witness. Who could prove that she instigated this? Maeve insisted that she had also been deceived.
