Goodbye My Arrogant Ex novel Chapter 85

“Edith, stop making a scene. This is Leonard’s girlfriend’s first visit to our home—do you really have to bring this up right now?”

“This house isn’t a revolving door for you. Come home if you want, but don’t expect anyone to welcome you with open arms.”

Mrs. Murphy was furious, her hands trembling as she spoke, and she showed Edith no courtesy whatsoever.

Edith had never gotten along with the Murphy family. Whenever she was around, arguments inevitably broke out.

“All the gossip and rumors are damaging our family’s reputation. How can the Murphy family tolerate a woman like her?”
