The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1183:

“And the size?” Kailyn pressed.

Laney shook her head. “I haven’t seen it.”

Kailyn groaned in disappointment. “You two have gotten that close, and you haven’t even seen it? He won’t let you?”

“Yeah,” Laney muttered.noveldrama

“Then he must feel inferior. I bet he’s only two inches,” Kailyn concluded with confidence.

Laney glanced at her thumb, falling silent as the thought sank in.

Meanwhile, Cliff was busy managing work at the company. His schedule was packed with endless meetings, tedious projects, and the constant demands of managing interpersonal relationships, leaving little room for unimportant distractions.

One day, Juliet tried to invite Cliff to lunch but was stopped at the company entrance by his assistant. Disappointed, she left a message: “Let Mr. Hopkins know I’m free after six.”

The assistant conveyed some polite words on Cliff’s behalf.

As Juliet got into her car to leave, one of the Hopkins family’s cars pulled up.

Juliet spotted Laney arriving with a cheerful bounce in her step. Laney exchanged a few words with Cliff’s assistant but was also denied entry.

Juliet chuckled to herself, muttering, “Not even his beloved cousin can get through.”

Just as Juliet was about to drive away, she froze. Cliff himself emerged from the main entrance, walking over to personally escort Laney inside.

Juliet’s heart plummeted like a stone sinking in deep water. While she held no grudge against whoever had captured Cliff’s affections, the sting of being treated differently cut deep. Had he simply rejected her outright, she could have accepted it with grace. Instead, he dangled the possibility of a marriage of convenience before her, yet his coldness told a different story.

Something didn’t sit right with Juliet. Her instincts screamed that the relationship between Laney and Cliff ran deeper than mere family ties, far from the innocent connection they portrayed.

As Juliet navigated through traffic, she pressed her phone to her ear, reaching out to Kira for information about Laney’s personal affairs.

Kira was so agitated that she cursed Laney thoroughly.

“Must you use such language?” Juliet chided, her brow furrowing. “You’re grown now. A little restraint wouldn’t hurt.”

Kira responded with an inelegant snort. Emboldened by her sister’s perpetual indulgence, she continued, “Listen, Juliet, the moment you and Cliff tie the knot, your first order of business should be showing Laney the door. What business does a cousin have living with the Hopkins family anyway? Get rid of her!”

Understanding dawned on Juliet. “I need to go. Duty calls.”

But Kira’s mind was already racing. Why had her sister suddenly taken an interest in Laney? Had Laney stirred up chaos again? No. For her sister’s happiness, she’d need to clear the path of any obstacles.
