Chapter 175
Chapter 175
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, I relayed what Neil had said to Stella and the others, hoping they could come up with some ideas.
Stella’s suggestion was very clear, “This isn’t easy Just get someone to marry ASAP, see if he still won’t back off!”
“If Neil really keeps harassing Rena. I’m afraid no one would dare to marry her…” Barbara Sands looked at me with warry etched on her face.
Meanwhile, Alicia was helping me pack my things.
She sighed, “Neil, why is he doing this? You loved him so much back then and he didn’t give a damn, now he’s regretting it
I was speechless, my only thought was that maybe I really should find a man to marry.
He couldn’t keep harassing a married woman, and his parents definitely wouldn’t allow it.
But where was I supposed to get a suitable man to marry?
Russels face popped into my mind, but I immediately dismissed the idea I couldn’t use him like that.
But if I had even the slightest feeling for Russel, I’d be willing to take a step towards him, just to see.
The problem was, I only saw him as a good friend right now.
Stella came over and asked, “Rena, I have a candidate in mind, do you remember my pitiful brother?”
“Stop it!” I immediately stopped Stella, “We can’t let your brother get hurt!”
“Hurt? It’s been two years, he’s still single, my mom is going crazy. I’ve spoken to him, he doesn’t mind your past and he can’t open his heart to anyone else, he’s been waiting for you Stella got excited as she spoke, “Really, Rena, think about it?”
I immediately refused, “No way, Stella, don’t let your brother get hurt again, I’m really not suitable for him.”
I was very serious, no joking around.
Stella sighed, “Alright then, I can only pray that my brother finds his other half”
After being discharged, Alicia drove me home where my mom had prepared a feast for us
Since we returned home, the four of us hadn’t had a chance to gather, so we treated today’s dinner as a party at my house.
“Do you guys know any reliable bodyguard companies? Recommend one to me.” I suddenly thought of this during dinner, before Finn was thrown in jail, I really needed to figure out how to protect myself.
Someone like Finn would definitely find ways to make trouble for me.
Stella and the others looked at each other and shook their heads, they didn’t have any information about this.
“Why are you suddenly asking about this?” Stella asked curiously
“I just feel unsafe, hiring a big, strong bodyguard would give me a sense of security.” I answered with a smile, without mentioning Neil’s plan to have someone protect me, I didn’t want my mom to hear.
My parents were worried when Neil sent me to the hospital, fearing that we would get into a dispute again.
After dinner, Stella and the others left, I still needed to rest at home for a few days.
At this time, my mom started nagging about taking me to get a cross.
As I was looking at my phone on the sofa, she was nagging me when I saw a piece of news that scared me into sitting up straight.
Breaking news! Chairman of Whitmore Co. was exposed for having an illegitimate child‘
I immediately clicked on it, but the news had disappeared before the page could load.
My heart started racing. I had a bad feeling, although there’s all sorts of news, I’ve never seen news about Neil’s dad before.
“Irene, are you listening to me?” My mom asked me when she saw that I wasn’t responding.
“I heard you, mom, I’ll listen to you.” I came back to my senses, calmed down a bit, why am I worrying about the Whitmore family’s affairs?
It’s just that the news just now shocked me, so my reaction was a bit big.
My mom nodded in satisfaction, “Good, then we’ll set off tomorrow”
I wasn’t sure where my mom was going, but I had no objections.
Early the next morning, my mom woke me up, Bailey was waiting outside for us, we were heading out of town today.
I thought my mom was going to get me a cross, but when we got there, I found out it was the house of a psychic grandma who was very good at fortune–telling for marriage.
There was a tree in front of her house, inside were beautiful crystal balls and various tarot cards.
As my mom and the psychic grandma were talking about tarot cards and predicting my marriage, I sneaked out for a walk, spacing out under the tree.
“Trene, are you here for fortune–telling too?” Bonnie’s voice came from behind me when I was engrossed in my thoughts
I frowned and turned around, she and Kate were wearing the same clothes, standing there.
They really had become good friends, always together.
I clapped my hands, ignoring Bonnie, and walked towards the psychic grandma’s house
Trene, don’t you know that a broken mirror is hard to piece back together? You’re wasting your time trying to force
me, imitating me.
“Kate, don’t say that, everyone has their own obsessions. Bonnie pretended to kindly stop Kate.
I treated them like two crazy people following me, too lazy to deal with them.
My mom had already found out the results of the tarot card reading, she looked a bit off.
Seeing me returning, she was ready to leave
When she saw Bonnie following me, she stopped.
“Hello“Bonnie was dressed very elegantly today, she still looked as innocent as before, she greeted my mom.
My mom knew who Bonnie was, but had never met her, she looked Bonnie up and down, then scoffed, “You look clean, but why are your actions so dirty?” Hearing this, Bonnie’s face immediately turned pale, she looked very embarrassed.
People around couldn’t help but look at her, as if watching a dramo.
Kate, like an older sister, shielded Bonnie behind her, “You don’t need to deliberately humiliate my sister. Didn’t your daughter also marry a man who didn’t love her without any dignity? At least Neil was sincere to my sister, while your daughter couldn’t make him fall in love with her in five years.
I thought my mom would be very angry, but she actually laughed and said, ‘Do you really think being a third party is something to be proud of? Love isn’t like this, lack of moral values is just lack of moral values. Young girls nowadays really need to learn to love themselves!”
After saying that, she took my hand and left.
I glanced back at Bonnie who was staring at me with red–rimmed eyes. That look of feeling wronged and embarrassed was all too familiar to me. She must be out of her mind to think that I would fight over Neil with her. She even mistakenly thought that my fortune–telling session today was about my marriage with Neil.
“This is totally off, the predictions here are all wrong! My mom kept complaining as we left. “Not only are her predictions inaccurate, but the environment here is also bad. We even run into unpleasant people when we come for a fortune–telling session!”
“Mom, what was the fortune–telling result? Don’t tell me I’m going to be single for the rest of my life!” I asked, holding her hand and smiling,
