Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Is This Your Version Of Devotion

Denver, his nerves frayed with anticipation, shoved his phone into his pocket and bolted for the door–be had to see Hadley!

But the moment he stepped into the hallway, a familiar obstacle stood in his path.

“And just where do you think you’re going?”

“Mom,” Denver said exhaling, frustration simmering beneath his breath. “I am an adult. I have every right to

make my own choices.”

“Humph.”

Wilma sneered, “So you wouldn’t tell me? Fine. Let me guess–you are in such a hurry to see Hadley, aren’t you?”

Denver hesitated briefly. It was no surprise that his mother had figured it out, and he had no reason to deny it.

“Yes,” he admitted,

“Hal” Wilma pointed a finger at him and laughed mockingly. “Try stepping out of this house today, I dare you.”

“Mom?”

Denver frowned, failing to understand her reaction. “I am not a child anymore. You cannot dictate my every

move.”

“Dictate your every move? Are you accusing me now?”

Wilma’s eyes narrowed as she took a slow step forward, her voice laced with scorn.

“And how could you talk to me like that? I raised you, funded your education, and now you are working at the Moran family’s company. Everything you own, everything you have achieved, came from this family.”

Denver’s face paled slightly at her words. “Mom, what are you trying to say?”

“What am I trying to say?” Wilma’s voice turned cold, like the bite of winter’s wind. “If you insist on being with Hadley, then leave this house. You are no longer a part of this family.”

Hearing this, Denver stood frozen.

Never had he even intended to issue such an ultimatum to force his parents to accept Hadley, yet here his mother was, pushing him into a choice he had not planned to make so soon.

“I will not give up on Hadley.” Denver let out a deep sigh. “If that is truly what you want, then fine… I will leave.”

Without another word, he turned back toward his room.
