A sly smile crossed Hannah’s face as she sized up Layla.
“So, ten million it is. Interested?”
Layla’s face flushed in fury. Eliana stepped up, her eyes moist as she addressed Hannah.
“Miss Moore, my parents live here because of Declan. My mother misunderstood the situation, but you don’t have to demean us like this.”
“Excuse me?” Hannah touched her lips in a mock gesture of surprise.
“Is offering you the house for ten million an insult?”
“Oh, right.” As if a light bulb went off in her head, she added, “Declan only holds 20% of the company’s shares now. He’ll have to seriously consider if he can even afford this.”

Eliana’s face reddened, her tone edging into sharpness.

“Miss Moore, you deceitfully took 20% of the company’s shares from Declan. Aren’t you ashamed?”
“That’s rightfully mine.” Hannah shot Eliana a smile.
“You’re not embarrassed to be someone’s mistress. Why would I feel guilt for claiming what’s rightfully mine?”
Upon hearing this, Arion’s temper flared. He lunged forward.
Two security guards promptly restrained him.
Layla unleashed a torrent of curses.
“You bitch! This house should belong to my daughter and son-in-law. On what grounds do you tell us to go?”
Hannah laughed casually, “Belong to your daughter and son-in-law? Why not try to call him?”
“Eliana, call my beloved son-in-law. Let’s have him evict this lunatic! She’s still sticking around us and the Edwards family, even after the divorce!”
Eliana hesitated. Declan was swamped with corporate matters, and she didn’t want to bother him.
“Mom, just let it be,” Eliana whispered.
“If Miss Moore desires this house, we should vacate. Declan will arrange another residence for us.”
Layla nudged Eliana with her elbow.
“What about it? Your brother is returning from overseas soon, getting married. Where will he stay?”
The color drained from Eliana’s face, disliking her mother bringing her brother into the mix. Mom!”
Layla fixed her eyes defiantly on Hannah.
