Chapter 240

It seemed that there was no need for Maisie to be merciful anymore.

At the Vanderbilt manor…

Stephen saw the headlines on the newspaper and smashed the newspaper on the table out of pure
wrath. Leila, who was bringing him fruits, took a glance at the contents of the newspaper and pretended
to be shocked. “Steph, why is this news talking about Zee? Is there any misunderstanding?” 1

Stephen knew that this news article must have something to do with his mother and sister-in-law. His
expression turned sulky in a n instant, and he did not answer the questions. Willow came downstairs and
exclaimed deliberately, “Dad, Maisie deliberately hired a lawyer to deceive Grandma and Aunt Yanis. I
just saw it on the papers.”

“Willie, don’t make such bold claims.” Leila pretended to support Maisie.

“How are they bold claims? I’ve read it with my own eyes. If that’s the case, isn’t Maisie deceiving Dad
too? Dad had already agreed t o transfer his shares to her, but she still colluded with a lawyer to deceive
Grandma and Aunt Yanis.”

Willow did not pay attention to Stephen’s expression while she was blabbering along. She desperately
wished that her father would really listen to her and that he would misunderstand Maisie.

However, just when Leila was about to remind her anxiously, Stephen slammed the table, and the
atmosphere in the manor froze i n an instant. “You’re in no position to comment on what your sister has
done!”

“Dad, but I’m your daughter too,”



“Do you still know about the fact that you’re my daughter?” Stephen’s face was sullen as he snorted “I
had been fooled by you once, and you want to make a fool out of me for a second time?”

Willow bit her lip as she felt aggrieved.

When Leila saw Stephen yelling at her daughter for Maisie, it was conceivable that Leila and Willow’s
status in his heart was already inferior to that of Maisie.

Seeing that Stephen went upstairs with a gloomy expression, Leila could not help but clench her hands.

‘He’s the one who treated us mother-and-daughter like crap first! 1

In the evening…

Yanis and Madam Vanderbilt were waiting for the emergence of any tiny movement on the Internet in the
hotel.



‘The news has been exposed for one whole day, so why aren’t the netizens attacking Maisie on her
social media accounts?

At that moment, Yanis received a call from Linda.

Linda told Yanis something over the phone call. Yanis stood up in fright, and her face paled in an instant.
“What? Something happened to Hector?”

Madam Vanderbilt almost lost it when she heard that.

Hector was her only grandchild that could ensure the continuity of the Vanderbilts’ family tree. Both
Madam Vanderbilt and Yanis would collapse if something catastrophic were to happen to him.



They were no longer in the mood to wait for the results of their actions, so they hurried back to Coralia
immediately.

On the other side, Leila, who was rolling around on the bed with Yorick, did not forget to flatter him while
badmouthing Stephen.“ Yorick, how I wish Stephen could be half as good as you are when it comes to
knowing how to appreciate a woman” 1

Yorick cheated on his wife with Leila, and the latter had started to grow on him.

Yorick could not help but feel bored upon thinking of Yanis, who had the mindset of a peasant woman
from the rural area and was a s conservative as someone from his mother’s era.

‘How could she be as enchanting and sexy as Leila? Not to mention her moves…

‘Stephen is really a lucky b*stard.’

He lifted Leila’s chin. “It’s Stephen’s loss if he doesn’t know how to appreciate you. Don’t worry, I’ll treat
you better than he does.”

“You perv, aren’t you afraid that Stephen will find out about us?” Leila asked while lying in his arms.

Judging from their physique, Yorick, who worked out often, was indeed a lot stronger than Stephen.

“Since you’re not afraid of being found out, what do I have to be afraid of?”

Yorick’s mood surged once again. He turned over and pressed her against the mattress.

Leila rejected and tantalized him, and Yorick’s cell phone rang at this moment.

Yorick felt exceptionally upset as he was interrupted. He did not even take a look at the caller ID and
ignored the call.



The actions continued until the two exited Leila’s residence. They were still acting extremely intimately
when they parted with each other. However, they did not know that someone was squatting in the
shadows and taking photos of them with a cell phone.
