The Ex and Her Riches

Lorelai burst into tears, not daring to look at the man on the bed.

However, Gwendolyn was pulling her hair, so she couldn’t run away even if she wanted to.

Lorelai screamed as pain shot through her knees and scalp. She was already on the verge of a breakdown.

“I didn’t do anything wrong! I was just protecting myself. This is all your fault, Gwendolyn! You’re the one who caused all of this! Marcus deserved this! If he didn’t insist on passing the right of inheritance to you and driving me into a corner, I wouldn’t have given in to Evelyn’s manipulation!”

She had never gotten along with Gwendolyn. Besides, the latter had once said she would chase Lorelai out of the Harris family the moment she got the inheritance rights. Lorelai wouldn’t have been able to live a peaceful life if that were to happen.

She had been spoiled and pampered in the Harris family for so many years. Getting kicked out would have been the same as getting sentenced to death. She didn’t have any survival skills, which meant it was impossible for her to live the same way.

However, things would be different if Evelyn had gotten the inheritance rights. She could even become the lady of the household in the future.

I did nothing wrong. I was just trying to survive, that’s all.

Gwendolyn was somewhat shocked to hear that. She didn’t expect Lorelai to not have an ounce of regret.

Fury burned within her, and Gwendolyn slapped Lorelai across her face. Then, she pressed the latter’s head on the bed and forced her to look at Marcus.

“What did Dad do wrong? You were the one who schemed to sleep with him because you were after his money! You were also the one who forced Dad to take responsibility. Has Dad ill-treated you in any way all these years? His feelings for you were true. He once told me that after his death, I should provide you with a mansion and transfer five percent of Harris Group’s shares to you so you could get the shares’ dividends and continue living a carefree life. Dad even told me to let you be if you ever thought about getting remarried! But what about you? This is how you repay him?”

Lorelai’s eyes widened as she stared at her unconscious husband.

“How is this possible? H-He’s already planned for my future?”

Gwendolyn gave her a mocking look. “Lorelai, you must know that I’m a vengeful person, and I’d return the favor tenfold if anyone dared to offend me. Even though I bicker with you all these years, I’ve never done anything to actually harm you. It’s all because Dad couldn’t let go of his feelings for you!”

“I… I…”
