Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back

Chapter 29: Lynn's Insidious Plan

The moment Paula made her appearance, Jolie knew that Paula must've come to enjoy the scene.

In fact, Paula might've eavesdropped on them for a while now.

Thus, Jolie went along with the flow and decided to put on a good play.

She caressed Michelle's face intimately and said, "I was worried because Michelle spent too long in the bathroom, so I came to check on her.When I came in, however, I saw that she was already on the ground.The servants must've failed to clean up the floor properly, causing Michelle to fall.Are you okay, Michelle?"

"I'm fine."

Michelle shook off Jolie's hand.

For the first time ever, Paula felt like applauding for Jolie.

Jolie's ability to reverse right and wrong was really worthy of admiration.

She was obviously the one who slapped Michelle.

Now, however, she acted like she really cared about Michelle and put the blame on those innocent servants.

It was no wonder their family always praised Jolie for her intelligence, while herself only for her beauty.

The more Paula thought about it, the more she felt she must take this matter as a lesson and an example.

Now that the drama was over, Paula's ill-temper once again showed up.

"Come out if you're fine.Don't waste everyone's time here!"

Upon saying that, she couldn't help but mumble in dissatisfaction, "I really don't understand how a divorcee deserves this marriage.What the hell is Grandpa thinking anyway? She'll only be humiliating our family!"

Michelle, who walked past Paula on her way out, naturally heard that and felt even more depressed.

It wasn't because Paula said she was a divorcee.It was because she thought of the man in the dining room.

What should she do? She had finally gotten herself free of the Greenwoods.

Did she really have to fly back to this cage again? Without paying any attention to whatever Jolie and Paula said behind her, Michelle sighed, rubbed her swollen cheek, and walked to the dining room.

After all, that was the place where she should go.

Oh, wrong, that was the place she should face.

Those evil, cunning people wouldn't let her go so easily, especially Lynn, who hadn't shown off enough.

How could she possibly let her go? When Michelle went back to the dining room, everyone's gaze was instantly drawn to her face.

Some were looking at her with obvious mirth in their gazes.

Some had contempt and ridicule in their eyes.

Some seemed satisfied to see her swollen cheek, while someone looked heartbroken...

Yes, someone seemed to feel heartbroken on her behalf.

Although Michelle didn't dare to look at Jared, she could feel him staring at her with pity.

She kept her head down, trying to hide her swollen cheek from everyone's sight.

Her hands, which were hidden under the table, were tightly clenched.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as she wished.

"Oh! Chelle, what's wrong with your face?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Lynn shouted in surprise, but the ridicule in her eyes was obvious.

Fortunately, Jolie understood what she meant just now.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a nice scene to watch now.

Michelle had to be given a lesson to understand her place in this family! Michelle shook her head gently.

"It's nothing big.I took a tumble just now."

Michelle thought she could downplay the matter and let it pass easily, but she forgot what kind of a person Lynn was.

Lynn suddenly sprang up from her seat and grabbed her hand from across the table, looking all concerned about her.

"How could you be so careless? You're not a child anymore, but you still don't know how to take good care of yourself.What if you get hurt? I'm afraid someone's heart will ache for you!"

Lynn swept her gaze over Jared who sat next to her and eventually fixed it on Dustin.

She could tell at a glance that Dustin, who was arranged by their grandfather, had a crush on Michelle.

Michelle was a divorcee, but she was lucky enough to land herself another good husband candidate.

Lynn had to find a way to make Michelle remarry as soon as possible.

Otherwise, she and Jared would...

Thinking about Michelle and Jared always made her feel flustered.

Throughout the ages, jealousy had never failed to make women blind.
