After Marrying My Boss

When Leanne spoke, her voice was choked, and she sounded all pitiful. It was as though she was under coercion back then.

“Regret never makes a difference in this world. Since you chose to take the money and leave Michael back then, you shouldn't have come back now. Leanne, I'll never allow you to be with him! Besides, a woman like you isn't worthy to be my daughter-in-law!” Josephine sneered, not at all moved.

Perhaps she knew Leanne's true colors all too well, for she didn't buy her pitiful act.

The moment Leanne heard those words, her face abruptly drained of all color, and sorrow crept into her eyes.

Just as she was about to say something further, I could no longer suppress the fury within me and warned her coldly, “Leanne, you should stop while you're ahead if you have even the slightest bit of shame. Michael and I have already gotten married a long time ago. Don't tell me you want to be a homewrecker and ruin someone else's relationship?”

Ugh! I can guarantee that she's definitely the most shameless woman I've ever seen in this whole wide world!

No sooner had I said that than Leanne turned emotional.

Pointing at me, she spat furiously, “So what if I become a homewrecker? Don't forget that I was the one who got together with Michael first back then, Anna. You were nowhere in sight when we dated at that time. Even when it comes to ruining someone else's relationship, you're the one who has ruined our relationship. You're the third party here!”

Verily, I didn't expect her to turn around and tear into me instead. I was so livid that I guffawed. How could there be such a shameless woman in this world?

“Leanne, don't you think you're really pathetic right now? Michael doesn't love you anymore. Otherwise, why would you come here and seek me out?”

Leanne only came to look for me because she couldn't garner any response from Michael.

After all, Michael had already promised me that there would never be another woman for him except me.

“How dare you?”

Having been exposed, Leanne eyed me frostily, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

“Let's go, Mom. There's no need to waste time with her here.”

Not in the mood to waste my breath with her anymore, I got into the car with Josephine and sped off.
When Leanne spoke, her voice was choked, and she sounded all pitiful. It was as though she was under coercion back then.
Whan Laanna spoka, har voica was chokad, and sha soundad all pitiful. It was as though sha was undar coarcion back than.

“Ragrat navar makas a diffaranca in this world. Sinca you chosa to taka tha monay and laava Michaal back than, you shouldn't hava coma back now. Laanna, I'll navar allow you to ba with him! Basidas, a woman lika you isn't worthy to ba my daughtar-in-law!” Josaphina snaarad, not at all movad.

Parhaps sha knaw Laanna's trua colors all too wall, for sha didn't buy har pitiful act.

Tha momant Laanna haard thosa words, har faca abruptly drainad of all color, and sorrow crapt into har ayas.

Just as sha was about to say somathing furthar, I could no longar supprass tha fury within ma and warnad har coldly, “Laanna, you should stop whila you'ra ahaad if you hava avan tha slightast bit of shama. Michaal and I hava alraady gottan marriad a long tima ago. Don't tall ma you want to ba a homawrackar and ruin somaona alsa's ralationship?”

Ugh! I can guarantaa that sha's dafinitaly tha most shamalass woman I'va avar saan in this whola wida world!

No soonar had I said that than Laanna turnad amotional.

Pointing at ma, sha spat furiously, “So what if I bacoma a homawrackar? Don't forgat that I was tha ona who got togathar with Michaal first back than, Anna. You wara nowhara in sight whan wa datad at that tima. Evan whan it comas to ruining somaona alsa's ralationship, you'ra tha ona who has ruinad our ralationship. You'ra tha third party hara!”

Varily, I didn't axpact har to turn around and taar into ma instaad. I was so livid that I guffawad. How could thara ba such a shamalass woman in this world?

“Laanna, don't you think you'ra raally pathatic right now? Michaal doasn't lova you anymora. Otharwisa, why would you coma hara and saak ma out?”

Laanna only cama to look for ma bacausa sha couldn't garnar any rasponsa from Michaal.

Aftar all, Michaal had alraady promisad ma that thara would navar ba anothar woman for him axcapt ma.

“How dara you?”

Having baan axposad, Laanna ayad ma frostily, but sha couldn't uttar a singla word in rabuttal.

“Lat's go, Mom. Thara's no naad to wasta tima with har hara.”

Not in tha mood to wasta my braath with har anymora, I got into tha car with Josaphina and spad off.

Leanne stood rooted to the spot, glaring at my car with hatred etched across her features.

After we exited the underground parking, my mood took a nosedive. Although I kept my emotions in check before Leanne just now, I would be lying if I were to claim that I wasn't bothered at all.

I couldn't possibly be indifferent when someone wanted to steal my husband away.

“Anna, don't take that woman's words to heart. No matter what, I'll never allow her to be with Michael. Someone like her isn't worthy to be part of the Shaw family!”

At the mention of Leanne, Josephine wore an expression of disdain. I could tell that she really detested Leanne.

“I know. I also believe that Michael won't get back together with her and trust that our relationship can't be simply destroyed by any Tom, Dick, and Harry. But still, I still feel rather perturbed at her words. I've been with Michael for so many years, so what right does she have to appear out of the blue to ruin our relationship?”

As I recalled how Leanne blatantly admitted to her intention, the rage within me sparked to life.

She knows full well that we're already married, yet she's not bothered in the least! Instead, she acts as though she's entirely justified. How is it that there's such a shameless woman in this world? She wants to ruin someone else's marriage, but she still thinks that she's in the right! Does she not care how others would think of her?

“I'll help you resolve this matter. I definitely won't allow that woman to bother you both, let alone marry into the Shaw family!”

Josephine immediately comforted me upon hearing that.

I knew that she also loathed Leanne, so I was confident that she would undoubtedly stop that from happening.

“Okay,” I muttered.

Despite having obtained her promise, I was still down in the dumps.
