Chapter 145
Jaden didn’t consider himself shameless. Sometimes, using less–than–honorable means to achieve what he wanted was also an effective method.
He didn’t care about the process, only the result.
“Ella, are you alright? Were you just talking to Jaden? I thought I heard his voice,” Jenny asked,
“Tr fine. Something came up here. I have to go, Ella quickly replied.
Jaden frowned. “You didn’t tell Jenny you’ve been staying with me?”
“Why would 11 You’ve basically kept me under house arrest. Should I be proud of that? Should I tell her so she can worry about me day and night?” she snapped.
Jaden remained silent, knowing she was right.
“You can tell her now, We’re married, so being together is only natural,” he said, but his words only made Ella angrier.
She had already gone through a divorce and was planning to raise the child alone and leave the country. But now, she found out that she and Jaden were still legally married.
She had checked the marriage certificate thoroughly, unwillingly accepting that her divorce certificate was fake.
Ella even called the local registry office to confirm she was still married.
Not wanting to argue, she changed the subject and said, “What did you mean earlier when you said you’d handle it?”
Jaden said. “You need to rest and recover. Don’t let this surn stress you out. Isn’t it about making things difficult for them in Ardbert City and genting justice for Hazel? I’ll take care of it,”
Ella asked, “What are you planning to do?”
Jaden said, “Actually, sending the girl for adoption isn’t a bad idea. She probably won’t be in a worse environment than with the Wale family. I’ll also have someone ensure that she’s well–treated. Someone like Eugene is easy to manipulate with his gambling addiction. It won’t take much to push them into a desperate situation”
“Won’t they y lash out if
out if pushed too far!” Ella asked anxiously.
“We’ll make them turn on each other. It won’t affect us,” Jaden reassured her.
Ella nodded in satisfaction. When it came to handling dirty work, she trusted Jaden.
The Wale family was still in Arbert City because they didn’t have money to leave, and they were deep in debt.
If Ella pressed charges, the entire family could end up in jail.
They had even gone to the hospital, asking Brandon to plead with Hazel, but they were turned away.
Hazel didn’t even know her son had come
But nothing stayed hidden forever.
When Lisa suggested that Hazel should go abroad to relax and recover, Hazel immediately refused.
Lisa said. “Mom, I’d be worried if you were alone in Ardbert City”
Hazel struggled to say, “Lisa, you. You have a husband, a child, and a career abroad. You don’t need me. But Ms. Willow is different. If I continue my rehabilitation… LI can still take care of Ms. Willow. She’s all alone and needs me”
Lisa said, “But she agreed to you going abroad.”
Hazel said, “That’s… that’s because she cares about me. I can’t abandon Ms. Willow. Even if I’m no longer working for the Willow family, I need to stay in Ardbert City and make sure Ms. Willow has a happy life.”
“But I’m your daughter, Mom, Ms. Willow has been kind to us, but can that really compare to your own daughter? Lisa protested, unable to hide her selfish intentions.
But Hazel firmly shook her head.
“Mom.” Lisa tried to argue further, but Hazel interrupted her decisively.

Chapter 145
They were at a stalemate when they heard a commotion outside.
“You can’t go in. This is a private room, sir.”
A disheveled figure suddenly burst into their view.
Harel was shocked, while tha was startled.
“What are you doing here?” Lisa was the fi
first to react, quickly grabbing Brandon
“Mom’s still recovering. Why are you bothering her? Where are the staff? Get him out of here,” Lisa frantically shouted
At that moment, Brandon fell to his knees with a heavy thud and said, “Mom, if you don’t save me, your son is going to die.”
“What what’s going on? Hazel anxiously asked.
Lisa said. “Mom, don’t listen to him…
Brandon said. “Im not lying. Lisa. You’re so heartless. I’m your brother. Are you really going to watch as our whole family goes to jail? Mom, that’s your granddaughter”
“Brandon, that’s the Wale family’s problem. Get out Security!” Lisa called out for the guards to remove him.
Brandon went from trying to cursing, viciously insulting Lisa.
Once he was gone, the room fell silent again.
Hazel asked, “What… what is going on?”
Lisa said, “Mom… please, don’t ask”
“Tell me,” Hazel demanded sterly.
Lisa had no choice but to tell her everything.
She didn’t hide Brandon’s mistakes and explained everything in detail
The Wale family had come to Ardher City, not to care for Hazel, but to take advantage of Ella.
They even tried to blackmail Ella with legal threats, stealing cash and valuables from the Willow family. Now, they were facing legal trouble and could end up in jail if they didn’t pay up
“Why… why didn’t you tell me?” Hazel was so furious her face turned red, making it even harder for her to sprak
Lisa said. “You were still recovering, and I didn’t want you to worry.”
Hazel asked, “Then what’s your plan! If we’re leaving who will take care of it!”
“Ms. Willow will, Lisa answered, lacking confidence.
Hearing that, Hazel slapped her and said. “The Willow family has done so much for us. If it weren’t for them, how could you have gone abroad to study? Now you’re ignoring that kindness, and worse, you’re leaving this mess for her to deal with. Do you have any conscience?”
“I can’t handle those scoundrels, Lisa admitted.
Hazel said, “You’re older than Miss Ella, yet you can’t handle them, so why do you think she can? Does she owe us anything? I won’t go abroad with you. I don’t need you to support me. I can live just fine on my ownL
“Mom, I’m sorry. I was wrong,” Lisa apologized.
Hazel said, “Go get that scoundrel back here. I… I speak to him.”
“Mom, let me handle it. Don’t stress yourself out.
“He’s my child. I’ll deal with him,” Hazel insisted, speaking slowly but with determination.
Brandon hadn’t gone far. He was still lingering downstairs.
He wasn’t alone, and his manipulative grandmother was with him.
Without her, the Wale family was like a ship without a rudder.
“Mom wants to see you. Go up,” Lisa said.
Chapter 145
“Grandma, you were right. She’s finally willing to see me,” Brandon said excitedly.
“Let’s go. Get your mom to give you money.” Martha said, ready to charge ahead.
Lisa quickly stopped Martha. “Only Brandon, not you”
“You little brat, how dare you speak to me like that? Im your grandma. Your mother spent money on you but that was a waste. All that money should’ve gone to your brother. Write him a promissory note right now, and pay him back within a year. No, within a month.”
Lisa was so furious that she laughed.
Martha was still as shameless and disgusting as ever.
