No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1149

"What? Why would he do that? What did we ever do to offend him?" Mrs. Yeaton was also shocked and incredulous.

"And I actually treated him like a future son-in-law. To think he'd betray me like this!" Roland's chest heaved. All the respect and flattery he had shown Ian now turned to hatred and fury.

Thinking back, Ian had helped him go public and then with overseas investments. Every step now seemed like a carefully laid trap, his grand design from the very beginning, all to bankrupt Yeaton Holdings.

"How could it be Mr. Goodwin? Isn't he with Vanessa—" Mrs. Yeaton's eyes flashed with intense anger. "Was it that wretched girl Vanessa who told him to do this?"

Only then did Roland think of that daughter, his illegitimate one, the person who had connected the Yeatons with Ian.

Roland grabbed his coat and stormed out. He had to go find out what kind of grudge his illegitimate daughter had with Ian. If they could resolve it, maybe Ian would let them off the hook.

Behind him, Mrs. Yeaton stomped her foot and cursed, "Oh, what a jinx! To bring such a disaster upon our family!"

"Mom! What's wrong?"

"Faye, hurry and drive your father. He's been drinking tonight." Mrs. Yeaton pushed her daughter, who had just come downstairs, toward the door.

Faye hurried to the garage and saw her father getting into the car. She ran over and stopped him. "Dad, wherever you're going, I'll drive you. You've been drinking."

Roland opened the back door. "To Vanessa's house."

Seeing her father's accusatory expression, Faye immediately said, "Alright, I'll take you."

In contrast to the situation at the Yeaton residence, Vanessa's villa was brightly lit and quiet.
