The Runaway Groom

Chapter 163

“Who do I think I am? I should be asking you that-Lionel never divorced me.” Sheryl spoke calmly and quietly, but it was enough to leave Samantha speechless!

The fact that Samantha was not legally married to Lionel would always be her Achilles‘ heel. Sheryl telling her that also hurt her even more than when Irene had told her that. Coupled with Ricky’s injury, her frustrations piled and she flew into a rage.

However, just as she raised her hand, ready to slap Sheryl across the face, Irene strode up and caught her hand. “My dad just died. Don’t act like a fishwife at his funeral.”

Samantha’s eyes were bulging when she turned and saw Irene. “Well done! Neither of you were here to visit or care for Lionel when he’s sick, but you’re here to get a cut of his inheritance as soon as he dies?! I’m telling you, everything in this house belongs to Ricky!” Murderous intent showed in her eyes. “And you dared to hurt him! I’ll destroy you!”

“Just stop already!” Irene snapped and shoved her aside, not bothered to argue–everything could wait until after the funeral.

Naturally, Samantha had to bear with it, since she could not beat Irene and Sheryl by herself.

Still, she remembered her own son–as long as Ricky was around, she did not have to fear them.

Sheryl, however, was not inclined to keep arguing with Samantha.
