Chapter 85 The Legal Wife and the Mistress
Evie immediately seized the opportunity, “Amelia, don’t just look at Daisy as a full-time housewife now. Back in the day, she was a female elite who dominated the business world, the founder of Medikit Inc. Among the full-time housewives present, I admire Daisy the most.”
As her words fell, a woman with extraordinary temperament walked over, wearing a loose dress that couldn’t hide her slightly protruding belly, and stood directly beside me. Her sharp gaze focused on Evie, “Mrs. Harrison is quite right. Although we are all full-time housewives, there is still a difference between full-time housewives. There are not many who can be compared with Mrs. Brown. The legal wife and the mistress, it’s clear at a glance!”
Evie’s face instantly changed color, and so did Amelia.
The one who spoke was Anna Morris, the sister of Mr. Harrison’s former wife. To explain the backstory, Mr. Harrison’s ex-wife was named Sophie, a hardworking and spirited woman who married him when they were both penniless. Sophie’s parents strongly opposed the marriage, considering William unreliable. Sophie insisted on marrying him, and her parents disowned her in anger.
After marriage, Sophie and William started their business from scratch. Sophie, a nurse, seized the opportunity and opened a clinic with the help of a retired doctor. Sophie worked tirelessly in the clinic, and gradually, the number of patients increased. With some funds, she opened a large pharmacy, and later expanded her business. With William’s expertise, they eventually established wellness Inc.
Unfortunately, Sophie didn’t enjoy the fruits of her labor for long. A new group of people, including Evie, joined their private hospital. Evie, with her diligence and cleverness, quickly became Sophie’s trusted assistant. During William’s hemorrhoid surgery, Evie took advantage of the situation and, after William recovered, she became his mistress.
Sophie caught them in bed, even on the sickbed. The revelation devastated Sophie, and in her anger and grief, she vowed not to give in, not to divorce. However, when Evie became pregnant with William’s child and gave birth to a son, the balance in William’s heart shifted, and divorce became inevitable.
The divorce battle lasted four years, and on the day of the verdict, Sophie had a car accident and became a vegetable. William, to show his deep affection, continued to bear all medical expenses even after the divorce. A year later, William married Evie.
Anna, Sophie’s sister, refused to accept the situation, especially since she had married into an upper-class family. It was said that William feared her to some extent.
At this point, Anna finished speaking and glanced at Amelia, who was standing next to me, with disdain. She said, “It’s true that birds of a feather flock together!”
Hearing this, Amelia’s smile froze for a moment. She seemed to be uncomfortable standing in front of me, and she exuded an indescribable sense of poverty and pettiness.
The atmosphere became somewhat strange.
At this moment, Charlotte approached with a displeased look, she looked at me and said, “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be at home resting…?”
And before she could finish her sentence, Hannah, accompanied by a tall woman, intervened, “This is a special guest I invited! Mrs. Brown, you seem a bit biased. Don’t always bring your other daughter-in-law out!”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
