Love Of Tomorrow

Chapter 75

Chapter 75 Disgrace

Melanie had flopped down on the ground, and now, Hanson’s bodyguards made their way over before dragging her out.

She kept struggling and shrieking, “Ouch… Let me go! How dare you treat me like this?! Let go of me! I need to find Hanson.”

However, the bodyguards ignored her protests. They threw her into the truck as well and drove her back to her family.

Meanwhile, Josie was dressed to the nines as she decked out all her newly-bought jewelry and began to show off to other women at the Greyson Residence.

Her voice echoed across the living room as she said, “Here, what do you think about this pearl necklace?”

The other women were quick to curry her favor. “Oh my, I heard about this brand before. They’re the world’s best producers of pearl jewelry, and they only make one design each year. I’m so envious!”

“Exactly! It takes more than money to get your hands on such a necklace. You’re so amazing, Mrs. Greyson.”

Josie reveled in their praise and had a smug expression as she replied, “It’s nothing. My daughter, Melanie, is in a relationship with President Luke, so it’s very easy to get such things.”

The other women began to lay it on thicker. “Melanie is such a lucky girl, and we’re all so envious.”

Just as Josie was beginning to get a little lightheaded from all their admiration, a large truck barged its way into the compound.

All of a sudden, a group of men in black suits disembarked from the truck and began to unload all the items into the compound. As they went about stuffing piles of boxes all over, Melanie stood right in the middle of all the clutter. She was covered in dust, and she looked like she had been struck by lightning.

Josie was so shocked by the sight of this that she almost dropped her pearls.

The crowd of women began to whisper among themselves. “Isn’t that Melanie? Why is she in such a disheveled state?”

“What happened? What are all these things?”

Just then, one of the bodyguards stepped forward and said matter-of-factly to Josie, “The president has declared that Melanie Greyson is no longer the mother of the two young masters. He no longer has anything to do with all of you.”

What?! The moment Josie heard those words, she became dumbfounded. She had just been singing praises about her daughter, and all of a sudden, this happened. It felt like she had been slapped across the cheek and humiliated in public.

What did he mean when he said that she was no longer the mother of the two young masters? This meant that he had given up on Melanie. How did this happen?!

The other women saw the looks on the faces of both these Greyson women, and after a hushed discussion, they quickly took their leave. “It looks like you’re caught up in something, so we’ll leave you to it.”

Josie was not about to air the family’s dirty linen in public, so she was pleased to see them go. However, gossip often spread like wildfire, and Melanie naturally became the laughing stock of their entire social circle.

As for Josie, she had never felt more disgraced than she did today. She dragged Melanie back into the house to keep her out of prying eyes.

Then, she grabbed Melanie and asked, “What did those men mean by that? Tell me, what on earth is going on?”

Melanie had cried herself hoarse and could not say a word. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing this, Josie began to tremble with anger. “Why do I have such a useless daughter like you? I’m asking you something! Has Hanson given up on you?”

Melanie kept crying until she finally said, “Mom, stay out of this.”

“Stay out of this? How do you expect me to stay out of this? If I hadn’t helped you to get rid of Vania back then, who knows what you’d be doing now.”

Melanie was stewing in her emotions as well, and as soon as she heard this, she blew up. “What’s the point of saying all this? Vania’s probably over the moon right now.”

Josie smacked her in frustration. “Why do I have such a useless daughter? After spending five years with Hanson, you still haven’t won him over.”
