Chapter 3 Blame It on Your Humble Background Leonard was dressed in a sharp suit, and his appearance was decent. He had a smile on his face, but his gaze made Damara feel somewhat uncomfortable. She handed over Perpetua’s medicine with a cold expression. “I’ve already seen her. You can take the medicine and give it to your mom.” Leonard raised an eyebrow. “Come up with me. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.” “No, I have other things to do.” Damara handed the medicine over and walked away without looking back. Leonard gazed meaningfully at her retreating figure and couldn’t help but sniff the medicine bag. A beautiful young woman showed up at the gynecology department and took antiviral and antibacterial medicine. There was no reason not to wonder about it. Leonard lowered his eyes, feeling a burning desire within. He hadn’t expected Damara to appear so indifferent on the surface but lead such an adventurous life in private. Well, her husband had been away for three years. A woman left alone like that was bound to seek excitement elsewhere. No need to rush. She would eventually have to return to Moore Group, and he would have plenty of opportunities then. 0.00% O 12.37 r

She moved in with Cali and her two children back then, and it was awkward as she kept running into her unrelated stepbrother, Leonard. Though her father had encouraged her to stay, when she subtly suggested that Leonard could move out, Kent seemed particularly troubled. Kent felt indebted to Cali and her daughter, and his affection also extended to Leonard. Damara didn’t want him caught in the middle, so she moved out. Now it seemed that she was the outsider in the family. Not bothering to punch in at the studio, she drove back home. Suddenly, her phone started ringing, and when she saw the name flashing on the screen, her already troubled mood worsened. The ringtone seemed to go on forever, and Damara took a deep breath before finally pressing the answer button. “Hello, this is Damara.” It was a call from Sophia Hill, Abner’s mother. Since getting married, this elite and arrogant “mother-in-law” had been displeased with her. Damara knew better than to cause any trouble, so she kept her distance from the Robinson Family as much as possible, except when she needed to put on a show in front of Old Mr. Robinson. “I hope you can come here for a talk about the divorce.” Sophia said straightforwardly. Worried that Damara might refuse, she warned first, “Damara, you should know it was Old Mr. Robinson’s 21.56% 12 37 Chapter 3 Blame It on Your Humble Background 40 ¡Vouchers decision back then, and we couldn’t say no. Now that Abner has taken over Robinson Group, he calls the shots. Old Mr. Robinson might relent too.” In other words, this marriage had to end. Sophia had even imagined that Damara might cry, throw a fit, or threaten to harm herself. After all,
which woman would willingly let go of her son? Even if she could never have his love, just a few more moments with him would be enough to satisfy her. But the response that came through the phone was far from what she expected. Damara’s voice was calm and indifferent. “Okay, should I come over now?” There wasn’t a hint of doubt or hesitation. It seemed that she had been waiting for this day to come. Sophia felt uncomfortable with Damara’s indifferent reaction. It was understandable for the Robinson Family to distance themselves from Damara, but Damara’s indifference made it seem like her son’s charm wasn’t enough. To justify herself, she coldly added, “That’s good. Your background doesn’t match up with Abner’s. He deserves better. Come over now, I’ve already called Abner, and he’ll be there soon.” Damara paused for a moment. Would Abner be there too? How would he react if he found out that the woman he slept with last night was his soon-to-be ex-wife? That proud man would probably feel like he had swallowed a fly – unable to spit it out and feeling nauseous at the same time. 46.56% 12:37 Chapter 3 Blame It on Your Humble Background 40 Vouchers Damara chuckled lightly, turned her head, and headed towards Robinson’s Villa. Sophia didn’t look too pleased when she arrived, but since Damara wasn’t making a fuss about compensation, she didn’t make things more difficult. “I’ll just cut to the chase. You should know the current situation of Moore Group very well. Honestly, you better talk to your father. He should give it up early since he’s not cut out for the business. We might help him once, but we won’t do it again. Besides, your stepmother is still eyeing the position. With your complicated situation, marrying you brings no benefit, and we must take care of your whole family. If
you want to blame someone, blame your humble background.” Damara sat on the sofa, nodding in agreement. “Yes, Mr. Robinson is indeed way out of my league.” Apart from that marriage certificate, they were no different from strangers. It was all just an empty title. For Damara, divorce might be a relief. Sophia was left speechless. Her words fell off Damara like water off a duck’s back. Sophia couldn’t tell if the woman sitting before her with her head lowered was acting or genuinely indifferent. Outside, the sound of a car braking could be heard. The ser vant waiting outside noticed Abner’s car stopping, quickly came in, and informed them, “Madam, Mr. Robinson is home!” Sophia stood up with joy and hurriedly went to the door. 71.68% 12:37 Chapter 3 Blame It on Your Humble Background 40 Vouchers Damara also stared in the direction of the door. Even though she had men tally prepared herself to face Abner, her calm demeanor suddenly gave way to uncontrollable nervousness.
