I laughed.

She just didn’t want me to get close to Tyrell, I knew it.

Okay, Auntie, I promised you. So, can you help me complete the Development Project in Mississippi?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Alaina stood up with a contemptuous look on her face and pointed at me, cursing loudly, “I knew you were a woman with ulterior motives, getting close to my son for money, and now your true colors are showing!”

I also stood up and took a breath, “No matter what kind of person I am, Auntie, you have always forbidden me from entering the Vaughn family’s gate, right? In that case, let me state my purpose, I want to complete the Development Project in Mississippi, I want to seize the strongest position, and only then can I reject Tyrell. Otherwise, how can I refuse him now? I simply cannot refuse, I have no right to refuse, and no qualification to refuse!”

Alaina pointed at me and said, “So you want me to help you reach the pinnacle of life and then kick my son out? You’re such a wicked woman, trying to destroy him just because you can’t have him?”

The coffee shop was bustling with people, and our voices, Alaina’s and mine, caught the attention of many passersby.

Alaina seemed to realize this as well, and she angrily shouted at the counter, “Where is your manager? I want to clear the place! Get these people out of here, I want to have a good discussion about life with this woman today!”

I felt a bit embarrassed, looking down at my toes, realizing that even my toenails had grown long. I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t trimmed them since the divorce.

It used to be Leland who did all the cutting…

Why is my mind wandering again? Why do I always think of a man who betrayed me?

I was stunned when I looked up again.

Leland stood right beside me.

Alaina saw him and became angry again, “You, I have already said it, can’t you clear the area and leave? And you, Mr. Beckett, I also ask you to leave!” But Leland smiled slightly, “Was Ms. Hodge getting angry at her?”

Alaina was taken aback, “Why do I need to report to you? Mr. Leland is also being too lenient, isn’t he?”

Leland pulled out a chair and sat down, lighting a cigarette and placing it near his lips. He elegantly took a puff.

I never knew he looked so handsome when he smoked. Leland never used to smoke in front of me before.

Leland’s cold eyes carried a hint of disdain, and then he spoke slowly, “She was the girl I raised, the princess I cherished and nurtured in the palm of my hand Although we are divorced, I will not allow anyone to bully her. Go back and tell Tyrell that if he doesn’t have the ability to support her to the top, then he should leave obediently and stop bothering her here!”
