With a bang. Patrick forcefully tossed the divorce paper on Monica’s face, causing her face to hurt.
“What’s this?” Monica looked down and saw the caption of the letter which read.
“Divorce Agreement.”
“Divorce? Patrick, you actually want to divorce ine?” Monica stared at Patrick in disbelief, and her entire body had began to tremble.
Patrick’s face was gloomy.
“Go outside and see what people are saying about me. I can’t raise my head anymore.
Hendrix’s medical is on the verge of bankruptcy. And it’s all thanks to you.”
“All thanks to me?” Monica felt the anger generate in her. She tugged on the sheet and roared.
“Patrick, ask yourself, how did I help you after our marriage, how much did I give to you, to this family?”
Patrick sneered and stared at her drearily.
“Did I tell you to sleep with another man? Monica, you’re a shameless bitch!”
Monica froze, tears quickly rolled out of her eyes. She explained anxiously,
“Patrick, I used to be in the entertainment industry. It’s normal to have a godfather.
Didn’t you say that you don’t mind my past? It’s because I wanted to help you that’s why
I allowed another man to touch me. Patrick, why don’t you keep praising me for being virtuous and capable? She sniffed and wiped her eyes with her bruised hand.
“Enough! Monica, don’t claim that you did all you did for me and my family. I think you did all that for yourself. You wanted securing the matriarch position at all cost…”
Monica laughed hysterically.
“Patrick, you want to divorce me now because you feel I’m useless to you. You think I don’t know that you’ve always been in love with Oriana’s mother.
Trisha.”
Patrick clenched his fists the moment he heard her mention Trisha.
“Why can’t I mention her? I want to mention her. Patrick, you’re actually a pitiful creature. You love Trisha very much, but she didn’t love you one bit. Oriana is not your daughter, and you know this because Trisha never allowed you into her room..” Monica spoke furiously.
“How could someone as gorgeous as Trisha fall in love with you? The Hendrix family was just a temporarily place for her. Yet, you still think about her each second. After all these years, you still can’t forget her!” Monica muttered as she wiped the tears which rolled down her cheeks.
Patrick eyes were reddened. He shut his eyes, resisting the urge of strangling her.
“It’s useless to say nothing, go ahead and sign the papers.”
Patrick walked out of the room. Gabriella sighted him and pulled his sleeves. He glared at her in annoyance.
“Look at you, you’ve been raised by your mother all these years, she made you so spoiled and wilful. You are a loser. Don’t bother me anymore.
Patrick made to leave, but when he looked up, he saw Oriana’s delicate figure in the corridor. She stood calmly.
Patrick’s eyes met Oriana’s bright eyes, although she was wearing a mask, he could vaguely foresee her breath taking and beautiful face.
Patrick’s expression was unclear. Finally, he turned around and left.
Gabriella entered the room and lay beside Monica and cried.
“Mom, is dad going to divorce you? How can dad be so ruthless? What are we going to do now mom?”
Monica crumpled the divorce paper into a ball and thew it away. She would not consent to the divorce, she would not leave the Hendrix family. And she would not be thrown away like a useless piece of trash.
Footsteps sounded at the entrance. Gabriella was overjoyed and she said,
“Dad, did you change your mind?”
Gabriella was stunned because it was Oriana and not Patrick
Monica’s hateful eyes wanted choking the life out of Oriana.
“What are you doing here?”
Oriana sat on the wooden chair. She poured herself a cup of tea. She smiled lightly and muttered,
“Of course I came to see you, what other reason?”
“Oriana, I’m going to kill you!” Monica threatened, tugging onto the sheet. Her body which was covered in bruises could only ache from her violent movement.
Oriana focused her gaze at Monica,
“You said that as long as you were still valuable, you would not fall, but now your reputation and connection in the entertainment industry has collapsed. You have become a disgrace to the Hendrix family and shamed my father. You hastily changed from valuable to worthless. Sure enough, my father quickly handed you your deserved divorce certificate.”
“Monica, since I was back from the orphanage, I’ve been thinking that sooner or later,
I’ll let you have a taste of what I went through ten years ago. 1 lost my loved ones and was betrayed by the whole world.”
Monica gritted her teeth in hatred. She had really made a mistake. She really underestimated Oriana.
“Oriana, if I had known this, I should have killed you Ten years ago I shouldn’t have given you a chance to live in this world.” Monica growled.
Oriana calmly finished her cup of tea.
“You should really regret not killing me that day, because you’ll slowly realize that today is just the beginning.”
After she finished speaking. Oriana put down her tea cup and turned around to leave.
“You’re worthless. You ain’t worth my time.”
Monica felt her throat become sour, she almost spitted out blood. However, she squeezed back the blood and laughed.
“Oriana, do you really think that your father will divorce me? Let me tell you something.
Pamela is back!”
When it came to Pamela, she was the pride of the Hendrix family. She was Patrick’s favorite daughter and the number one socialite in LA, even Gabriella suddenly came back to life.
“Oriana, my sister is coming back. Ten years ago, you couldn’t compete with yet. And you still can’t even after ten years.”
Oriana gentle raised her eyes, a clear light bloomed in them.
“That’s great. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Y
Oriana returned to the Red Villa and gave the Barbie doll she bought to Mrs. Samantha.
Mrs. Samantha was happy like a child, she quickly took a few pictures and wanted posting it on her social media.
“Olly, are you active on social media? Give me your handle let me follow you. From now on, grandma will be your number one fan.”
Oriana didn’t expect that Mrs. Samantha would actually be active on social media.
“Grandma, let’s follow each other.”
“My handle is grandma who is eighteen years old” Mrs. Samantha said to Oriana.
Oriana’s lips arched in a smile as she searched for Mrs. Samantha’s account.
The old lady had posted the photo of herself and the Barbie doll, with a caption Thank you, my Olly.”
Oriana went through Mrs. Samantha’s account and quickly gave her a like.
“Olly, grandma has something for you too.” The old lady mysteriously stuffed a purse into Oriana’s palm.
Oriana looked at the purse. The purse was quite beautiful. It was made of gold from
Africa. The word “Armstead” was embroidered on it.
“Grandma, what is this?” Oriana questioned surprisingly.
“In this purse. I’ve placed a prayer list of the things i want. And a child from Deacon is majority of the content.” Mrs. Samantha muttered and Oriana smiled lightly, she knew better than expect a change of topic from the old lady.
Oriana pursed her lips and said,
“Thanks, grandma, I’ll definitely take good care of it.”
Two bright car lights came in through the glass windows. Mrs. Samantha laughed sweetly.
Deacon is back.”
Oriana had been away for seven days. They didn’t see each other for a long time. She quickly walked to the door. The Rolls–Royce phantom was parked in the lawn.
The driver’s door opened, revealing a tall and handsome figure.
Deacon was clothed in a customized black suit with a tie around his neck. He was a god of abstinence.
Oriana saw him walk over with steady steps. With every step he took, the black trousers he wore moved gorgeously along with him.
Oriana originally wanted running out to meet him, but on a second thought, she hid behind the door frame, ready to surprise him with a scare.
Phoebe squatted at Oriana’s feet, wondering what her master was doing.
Oriana quickly put her slender finger on Phoebe’s lips, gesturing to her to be silent.
Phoebe understandably had stopped meowing. Oriana leaned back on the door frame, she peeked out with her black pair of eyes.
She saw that Deacon was approaching. Oriana quickly avoided his gaze. Deacon had already seen her. A small piece of her dress was showing. He knew that she was hiding there.
Oriana waited for him to pass by so she could startle him. After waiting for seconds and he still didn’t turn up, she stuck our her head, but Deacon was no where to be found.
“Huh, where did he go?”
Oriana quickly ran out and looked around on her tiptoe.
Phoebe was heard screaming. Oriana looked back and saw her standing beside Deacon’s leg. Deacon leaned against the wall with one hand in his trouser pocket. He stared relentlessly and with a smile he asked,
“Looking for me?”
He had deliberately teased her. Oriana felt that she was stupid. She walked over and hugged Phoebe,
“I wasn’t looking for you. I was searching for Phoebe.”
She grabbed Phoebe and headed upstairs.
When Deacon saw that she angry, he stepped forward and immediately carried her.
Being literally swayed off her feet, Oriana wriggled begging to be let go. She stretched out her hands and wrapped around his neck.
“What are you doing?” She queried.
“Nothing, just hug fne Deacon held tighter to her and turned her multiple times.
Mrs Samantha heard the noise made by Oriana and had rushed out. When she saw Deacon turning Oriana who was in his arms, she raised her hand and hit Deacon on his waist,
“Put her down, put Oriana down”
