Chapter 561 He Will Choose Me Again
After saying that, I pulled open the car door to climb into the car. Right then, I wasn’t in the mood to entertain Leanne. “Don’t you want to know my relationship with Michael?”
Upon seeing that I was unmoved, Leanne sounded a touch anxious. She hurriedly stepped in front of my car to stop me from leaving. “Leanne, let me warn you once more. Step aside!”
I wore a chilly expression on my face, and fury blazed in my eyes as I glared at her. At that moment, I hadn’t any patience to play such a tedious game with her.
“Don’t act so smug, Anna! Michael is going to return to my side sooner or later!” Leanne declared domineeringly. She likewise grew irate, probably because of my hostile tone, rage flashing in her eyes as she glowered at me.
I initially wanted to ignore her, but when I heard her proclamation, the wrath within me surged at once. What right does she have to make such a statement before me?
“Don’t you think you’re being overconfident, Leanne? He’s not even willing to meet you right now, yet you think he’ll return to your side? How ridiculous!” I scoffed with a cold chuckle after opening the car door and striding over to her.
“Anna, I think you probably have no idea about my relationship with him. Before you, I was the person he loved most!”
While saying that, Leanne’s eyes glittered with distinct smugness.
I’d long since surmised that she came today to provoke me. Therefore, her remark didn’t shock me in the slightest because I’d known about that ages ago.
“As you said, that was before me! In other words, I’m the person he loves most right now! Leanne, don’t think that you have an edge of some sort because you’re his ex-girlfriend. I’m his wife at present! On top of that, I’m the person he loves wholeheartedly. You’ll never have a place in his heart for the rest of his life!” I boomed in a solemn voice, staring right into her eyes.
She loves to put on a pitiful act, doesn’t she? Why isn’t she doing so right now? Is it because Michael isn’t here?
“We shall see, then. I’ll never give up on him! I’ll have you witness with your own eyes as he once again chooses to be with me!”
The corners of Leanne’s mouth curved into a sinister smile, and her eyes shone with confidence as she said that.
When a woman was brazenly telling me to my face that she wanted to snatch my husband away, I didn’t think any other people could remain unruffled. At least, that was true for me. At that very second, I could no longer suppress my fury. Raising my hand, I slapped her hard across the face.
“Leanne, I’ve seen shameless woman before but never one as shameless as you! You’re simply the worst among all b*tches!”
Profanities rarely passed my lips, but when it came to her, I felt that using the word b*tch to describe her was an insult to the word itself.
“Who do you think you are that you actually dared to hit me, Anna Garcia?”
Leanne gaped at me in shock when she snapped back to her senses. At the same time, her eyes brimmed with hatred.
“Nice one!”
Just when I was about to snap back at her, a familiar voice rang out a near distance away. Leanne and I swung our gazes in the direction of the voice simultaneously. At that instant, Josephine was heading toward us with a glacial expression on her face.
“Why are you here, Mom?”
At the sight of Josephine, who suddenly appeared in my line of sight, surprise showed my face. Nonetheless, I still hurried over to her and took her arm.
“What if you got bullied if I don’t come over? You’re usually gentle and docile, so I’ll be distressed if someone picked on you.”
As Josephine said that, she pinned a frosty look on Leanne.
Leanne initially wanted to slap me in return, but she turned panicked when she caught sight of Josephine, probably not expecting to see her there.
“It’s been a long time, Leanne.”
While saying that, Josephine marched over to Leanne in huge strides, staring straight into her eyes. I could tell that Leanne had become very nervous then.
“It’s been a long time, Mrs. Shaw.”
Leanne tried her best to force a smile when she said that, but even I could see how fake the smile was, not to mention Josephine.
“Indeed, it’s been a long time. In fact, it’s been five years, no? I thought we’ll never meet again in this lifetime. I didn’t expect you to return.”
A mocking smirk played on Josephine’s lips, and her gaze was icy as she stared at Leanne.
Even I could grasp the meaning of her words, so it went doubly so for Leanne. She hung her head looking guilty, not daring to look Josephine in the eye. A long time passed before she lifted her head once more.
“Mrs. Shaw, I know you don’t want to see me, but I still haven’t forgotten Michael even after so many years. Hence, I returned this time because I’d like to reconcile with him. I hope you’ll give us your blessings. As you know, he loves me.”
As she uttered those words, she looked all pitiful again.
Standing at the side, I almost burst a blood vessel upon hearing that. She even dares to say such a thing to Josephine’s face, stating her intention unabashedly? What does she take me to be? I’m Michael’s lawfully wedded wife right now!
As soon as Leanne’s words rang out, Josephine’s expression turned much colder, and her eyes blazed with anger.
“Have you forgotten your promise to me, Leanne? And have you forgotten why you left Michael back then?”
“No, I do remember, but I was really too young at that time. Now, I truly regret leaving him back then. Thus, I came back this time to make amends for my past mistake. Mrs. Shaw, I know you’ve never liked me, but I’m willing to do anything as long as you allow me to be with Michael.”
While saying that, Leanne’s voice dripped with imploration, and tears even welled in her eyes.
Meanwhile, I found that sight a complete mockery.
She knows full well that Michael and I are married, yet she actually declared that she wants to get back together with him without the slightest compunction. Isn’t she telling others bluntly that she wants to be a homewrecker? Well, it takes a certain amount of strength for a woman to be so shameless!
“Leanne, what did you promise me when I gave you five million and asked you to leave? Are you now reneging on your promise?”
Josephine’s expression became increasingly frigid, and her eyes glittered viciously.
“Mrs. Shaw, I only did that back then because I was too young and reckless. Only now do I realize what’s most important to me. I really want to get back together with Michael. Please give us your blessings, won’t you?”
