Chapter: 1000
Rena just continued playing the piano.
This time, there was a sob in Rita’s voice. “Mavis has been expelled from school. She’s going crazy, and the fact that your two bodyguards are following her around all the time isn’t helping. She is a poor, helpless girl, Mrs. Fowler. Please leave her alone.” ©
Rena finally stopped playing.
She looked at Rita and smiled. “Okay. I’ll leave her alone, but | want her to go back to her hometown. If she agrees, then | won’t ask her for the $300, 000 back.”
Rita’s face turned pale.
She replied, “Mavis just managed to get into a university in Duefron. She can’t go back to her hometown. If she does, then her life will be over. Please cut her a break, Mrs. Fowler.”
Rena sneered. “All this is her own fault. How can she blame others?”
When Rita was about to plead again, the front door swung open and someone came in.
It was Waylen.
His face darkened when he saw Rena and Rita talking. Nobody knew how much he had heard.
Rita begged Waylen to help Mavis. However, Waylen just asked her to leave.
After Rita left, Waylen leaned against the piano and said with a faint smile, “We live in a society ruled by law now, Mrs. Fowler.”
Rena knew that he was speaking on Mavis’ behalf.
Feeling a sharp pain in her heart, she lowered her eyes.
“Are you worried about Mavis?
In that case, can you find a way to stop her from getting close to me and from calling you, my husband?”
Waylen stared at Rena.
After a while, he said softly, “You know | don’t have any feelings for her. Why are you making things hard for her?” ©
He felt that Rena was being heartless.
He knew Mavis’ past.
The environment and the conditions wherein Mavis grew up were terrible, but all the same, he didn’t have a romantic interest in her. Even though she had feelings for him, he would never get involved with her. He thought that was enough to keep Rena’s trust.
He thought that Rena was overreacting to this whole thing with Mavis.
