Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 4

While Leanne was tucking into her meatloaf and mashed potatoes, her phone buzzed with a call from Jennifer, Curtis’ mother, asking her to come home today.

She agreed, ended the call, and looked down at her half-finished plate, suddenly losing her appetite.-

After clocking out from work in the afternoon, her driver, Jake, picked her up, and she settled into the car’s backseat.

The retro garden that surrounded the family estate, with its sprawling lawns and century-old oak trees, was a place Leanne knew well. She had grown up there.

After her parents’ tragic accident, she spent a few years bouncing around foster homes before being taken in by the Richardson family. But it was more like sponsorship than adoption.

If Stonebridge society was a pyramid, the Richardson family sat at the top, a stratum. untouched by the common folk.

For an orphan like Leanne, being taken in by the Richardson family was like hitting the jackpot. She even married Curtis, which secured her place in the family registry.

Sitting in the living room, Leanne waited until Jennifer descended the staircase, dressed in an elegantly tailored dress.

“I heard you sent Laura away?” asked Jennifer.

Leanne wasn’t surprised she knew. “Did she come crying to you?”
