The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1763

Chapter 1763 Refusal

Aurora cut her off, “You got the wrong person, young lady. Whatever happens to your mother is none of our business. We did nothing to her, so there is no mercy to be shown.”

Sally quickly explained, “No, no. That’s not what I meant.” She started jumbling up her words the moment she started to panic. Her plan was to get Ian to talk to Bryce. Everyone knew that Leah came to cause a scene and got dumped on the streets, and it made things worse for the Morgans.

Bryce had gotten a lawyer to draft up a divorce agreement right after he got the news. To be honest, in their community, a divorce at Bryce’s age would only impact his reputation more. The Morgans would have preferred not to add more to their already full plate, but Bryce was adamant about chasing Leah out.

Back then, Leah concocted a lot of schemes so she could marry Bryce, but they had a prenup signed. That was the reason why Leah was so obedient to him all these years. She was aiming for his inheritance after he died, but if she was divorced before that, she would get nothing.

Bryce was rich and powerful. Even if they were to go to court, Leah’s chances of winning were slim to none.

Sally wouldn’t fully take her mother’s side, since Bryce was her father after all. However, it was obvious who held all the cards in the relationship, and she pitied her mother, naturally. She started talking, but before she could even finish a sentence, tears started flowing.

Ian watched her in amusement. He used to spend more time with Sally—something he hated—and he knew she was an arrogant girl because her mother spoiled her. She wouldn’t even cry when Bryce scolded her. She only apologized, but she didn’t mean it. Whenever Bryce wasn’t looking, she would glare at him, apparently never learning her lesson. That was why Ian thought it was amusing she started crying before she even talked. Ah, money. The most useful weapon in a relationship.

Sally knew she was losing composure, so she wiped her tears away quickly. “My mother isn’t in a great state right now. Dad locked her up and abused her. I’m worried about her. Dad really wants to teach her a hard lesson this time. You’re on great terms with Dad, so please, talk to him. I know he’ll listen to you.”

Then you’re overestimating me. Ian snorted. “Why do you assume I’m on great terms with him? Instead of wasting your time here, you should go to the hospital and beg your father to show some mercy.”

Sally had tried that, but because she had gone to Ian’s place with Leah, that pushed her into Bryce’s bad books along with her mother. Bryce did not want to see her at all, and she couldn’t get any news from him. However, her mother did ask someone to investigate.
