Chapter 581 – The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free

She wondered how high Xander’s IQ was. Would it be higher or lower than Pete’s?

While she was musing over it, Pete, who had noticed her coming in, hurriedly got up. He handed her the glass of water in front of him. Then, he took out a set of pajamas and handed it to her. “Mommy, are you tired?”

Nora: “…”

The longer she lived with Pete, the more she found that the little boy was really very caring and heartwarming. However, his behavior instead made Nora feel her son’s desire for motherly love.

She indeed had too little time to spend with her children.

Thinking about this, she took the glass of water from Pete and took a couple of sips. Then, she placed it on the coffee table next to her and took the pajamas. She looked at Pete and asked, “Pete, do you know Helen Stewart?”

Pete’s eyes lit up at the name and he nodded. Then, he said with a bit of embarrassment, “She is quite nice. Uncle Thomas often visits the Hunts, so Great-grandma told him to play with me. He is very well-behaved on the surface, but in private, he called me a little idiot. After he married Aunt Helen, every time he came over, she would bring me toys. When Uncle Thomas scolded me, she would also stop him gently…”

At that time, Pete had never experienced a mother’s love, and he also felt nothing toward the nannies’ attempts to please him.

But Helen was truly kind and caring. On top of that, she was also filled with love and patience for children. People like her gave Pete a very comfortable feeling.

When Nora heard what he said, she finally understood why Justin had asked her to help them.

Just by how Helen had kept Pete company, she couldn’t let the matter go unchecked. With that in mind, Nora suddenly said, “Pete, I’m going out for a while.”

Pete nodded.

Nora turned around, went out of the house, and drove to Helen’s parents’ home, the Stewarts’ residence.

To be honest, she initially didn’t intend to bother with the Livingstones’ mess. After all, Thomas’ fatherhood had nothing to do with her.

But since Helen had treated Pete kindly, she couldn’t just sit back and wash her hands of the matter.

When she came to the Stewarts’ residence, the guards stopped her.

When she said that she was looking for Helen, the guard gave her a wry smile and said, “They are… kinda busy at the moment, so it’s not convenient for outsiders to enter.”

Nora broke into a frown.

Just as she was about to reply, a car came up to them. Then, a hasty-looking woman got out. She was a little chubby and looked somewhat like Helen. She said to the guard, “This is…?”

The guard explained, “Ms. Jessica, this is Mrs. Helen’s friend. She’s here to visit Mrs. Helen, but… Mrs. Livingstone has come over with Mr. Livingstone and they are currently making a scene in the house, so…”

When Jessica Stewart, the Stewarts’ eldest daughter, heard this, she said straightforwardly, “For her to come over to look for Helen, she must be Helen’s friend. How can you refuse her entry? News of the scandal will spread sooner or later anyway, so what’s there to be scared of? Let her come with

me!”

Only then did the guard let Nora through.

Nora raised her eyebrows, finding the young lady rather interesting.

The two drove into the residence together.

They parked the car. Before they even stepped through the door, they could already hear an arrogant Mrs. Livingstone saying, “They must divorce! But this is all because your daughter is infertile, so we’re not going to give her anything! Also, the Stewarts didn’t make her situation clear before the marriage, so this is fraud! On top of that, she also wasted three years of our time. Otherwise, the Livingstones would already have at least two children in the family by now! You have to compensate us for this!”

Helen’s mother, Mrs. Stewart, said furiously, “Divorce? So that she can make way for that homewrecker?! Mrs. Livingstone, are you that anxious that you can’t wait even a second longer?!”

Mrs. Livingstone sneered, “Cut the crap. In any case, it’s the Stewarts who are in the wrong! As for Cecelia’s pregnancy, Thomas didn’t cheat. It’s because Helen is infertile, that’s why he went to another woman!”

Mrs. Stewart became even more infuriated when she heard this. She clutched her chest, unable to speak.

Helen was just crying her eyes out next to her.

Her father was not at home, so the two women from the Stewarts were obviously suppressed in momentum.

When Nora was about to take a step forward, Jessica, who was next to her, stepped forward abruptly and said loudly, “Mrs. Livingstone, now that’s not very nice! What do you mean Thomas didn’t cheat? Is the child in her belly not Thomas’? Did Thomas not have sexual relations with another woman while he is married?”

Mrs. Livingstone choked at once.

Jessica went on. “My little sister certainly hasn’t given birth to any children, but are women mere baby-making tools? Are you saying that the Livingstones and the Stewarts’ union was solely for the purpose of having children? If so, then why didn’t you just approach surrogate mothers instead? What is the point of having Helen there? Besides, do you have any medical evidence to prove that my little sister is infertile? This is complete sophistry. If you cannot produce a medical report, then I will sue you for slander!”

Jessica was very aggressive, much like a hen protecting her chicks. She stood in front of her mother and Helen and blocked them from Mrs. Livingstone.

Mrs. Livingstone seemed a little afraid of Jessica. She subconsciously stepped back and said, “No matter what, they have to get a divorce!”

“Divorce? Sure, but you have to give my little sister the compensation she deserves. The Stewarts are not to be trifled with either!”

After snapping back at Mrs. Livingstone furiously, Jessica looked at Helen and said, “What is the use of crying when your husband has already cheated on you? Times have changed, can’t you even stand up for yourself? Helen, I’m telling you, you have to divorce him! Are you planning on keeping that man so that he can bring back more illegitimate children?!”

The sobbing Helen nodded. “I will do as you say, Jessica.”

She was thoroughly heartbroken.

When she got married, everyone had said that she was really blessed to be able to marry into the Livingstones. Given how close a relationship the Livingstones and the Hunts shared, she would surely welcome a good life in the future.

But who knew that Thomas would actually be such an insect?

Mrs. Livingstone sneered, “Jessica, what do you mean by that? We Livingstones are decent people, we are not people who indulge in casual relationships! We won’t just want any random woman!” Jessica sneered, “Oh, really? Considering how you can accept even someone like Cecelia, the Livingstones’ standards for women are really too low!”

Mrs. Livingstone wanted to continue the argument about Cecelia, but she suddenly realized something. She sneered, “The problem is not about Cecelia right now; rather, it’s about Helen’s infertility. On top of that, she even conspired with a doctor to shift the blame onto my son! What a pity for her, though, because Cecelia is pregnant, which just so happens to clear my son’s name! On the other hand, even though it has been three years since Helen married into the Livingstones, she hasn’t gotten pregnant even once, so the problem must lie with her. Since that’s the case, then this marriage should be annulled! When the two of them got engaged back then, we had agreed that whoever does something wrong after marriage would receive a smaller portion of the joint financial assets! Therefore, Helen can only leave the Livingstones penniless!”

Cecelia was pregnant.

The timing was simply too sensitive.

Should news of it spread, everyone would surely know that Thomas had cheated on his wife. If that happened, he would no longer be able to hold his head up high in the circle of the wealthy in New York.

That was why Mrs. Livingstone had come over to make a scene. Firstly, it was because a married couple’s joint property was indeed difficult to divide. Secondly, it was because she mustn’t allow her son to be known as someone who had mistreated his ex-wife!

She mustn’t allow her son to become the main reason for the marriage’s failure.

Jessica let out a contemptuous laugh. Suddenly, she lowered her eyes and said, “We are all respectable people that don’t wish to embarrass ourselves. The Stewarts will not ask the Livingstones for even a single cent more than what should be given. However, alimony must be given because you made Helen quit her job after she married Thomas! Because of that, she now has a three-year unemployment gap in her career!” Mrs. Livingstone sneered, “Then what about the money that the Livingstones gave the Stewarts when they got married back then?”

The Livingstones had given them a large sum of money as a wedding gift.

By saying that, Mrs. Livingstone was demanding even that sum of money back, even though they had given it to them as a gift.

Jessica was about to speak when Helen suddenly looked at Thomas. “Thomas, what is the meaning of this?”

Thomas curled his lips disdainfully and replied, “My mother’s will is also mine! I’ve found you really boring since a long time ago! You don’t even move at all in bed. It was really no fun at all!”

Helen turned paler. At last, she lowered her head and said, “Fine, fine… I will return you all that money the Livingstones gave us!”

A shocked Jessica looked at her abruptly. “Helen, what kind of nonsense are you saying?”

If they returned that money, what would outsiders think?

Why didn’t they take any money from the Livingstones during the divorce? But even gave them money instead?

Of course, it was because they had done something wrong!

People often didn’t care about the details, they only looked at the results. Neither would they think that Helen was being generous. Instead, they would definitely think that Helen must have done something to let the Livingstones down!

Helen, however, shook her head. “Jessica, I just want to be divorced as soon as possible.”
