Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Oh my, it's no wonder they don't take her daughter seriously. Since she came back, her husband had never come over to see her! Maybe the Sterling has no intention of picking her up at all."

"She married into the Sterling by getting pregnant. If I were old Sterling, I would also despise this kind of woman. What's more, it is said that her husband was her cousin's fiancé before!"

"You mean Dalton's daughter, Savannah? Tut, taking cousin's man is really disgraceful! She deserved to lose the child and be driven home! She should pay for it!"

"If you ask me, the marriage between Valerie and that rich man will not last long. Let's see how Norah shows off in front of us in the future!"

"That's it. Maybe her daughter would be divorced tomorrow!"

While the neighbors were talking and laughing, Norah was red-faced with anger. Gritting her teeth, she had no face to argue with them. She bent her head and hurried back home.

After Norah prepared the breakfast, she knocked at her daughter's room and went in.

Valerie pined away, sitting upon the cold ground, with her unbound tresses streaming over her shoulders.

Since she was sent back home by Devin, she had been like this all day long, unable to eat or sleep.

She became thinner and paler.

Norah knew her daughter was in a bad mood, she also felt embarrassed when she went out shopping these days.

Not long ago, the neighbors were all envious of her daughter's marriage. She was so proud in front of them at that time. But soon, her daughter came back in dismay, and her husband, Devin never came to see her. Obviously, she was driven back home by that man! It was really a shame!

"Valerie, don't think so much, just eat some food first." Norah put the breakfast in front of her daughter and tried to persuade her.

"No, I'm not in the mood. Take it away." Valerie didn't even look up.

"You know how much weight you had lost or how you looked now? You will fall ill..." Norah handed a sandwich over to her daughter's mouth.

"That's good if I were ill!" Valerie shouted as she threw her mother's hand away and flung away the food madly. "I might as well be dead! Devin doesn't want me anymore! Now everyone takes me as a big joke. Our neighbors, my college classmates, and the bitch, Savannah! All of them are laughing at me!"

The sight of her daughter crying made Norah heartbroken. She patted Valerie's back softly and comforted her, "Rest assured, Devin will come to pick you up when he calmed down. You should take care of yourself and have a baby as soon as possible, and then the Sterling will treat you as a treasure again."

Oh. Another baby?

Devin didn't even look at her right now. How could she get pregnant again?

She called back days before. The maidservant said Devin often brought different women home after she moved away. He was especially very thick with a bar girl, Monica, the one Devin brought home last time.

She was sent back home because of that fox!

From the maidservant, Valerie also knew that Devin had bought a sports car a while ago, and he often took the woman out for a ride!

With this in mind, Valerie clenched her sleeves, and her look became stormy.

Seeing that Valerie ignored her advice, Norah gave a deep sigh, tidied up, and went out first.

Valerie sat there for a while and worked herself into a temper. She stood up, took her handbag, and went out.

No.

She was now Devin's legal wife and the young mistress of the Sterling.

What made that fox have the nerve to seduce her husband?

She was going to kick her fucking ass today!

"Valerie, where are you going?" Norah ran after Valerie, startled to see her going out.

"Leave me alone, mom! I'll be back in a minute!" Valerie said impatiently as she slammed the door out.

Taking a taxi to the bar where Monica worked, Valerie got off and walked quickly in.

The bar was usually open at night. Now it was daytime, and there was no one, very quiet and cold.

A waiter was doing the cleaning. He was startled when he saw Valerie coming in fiercely.

"Who are you? We are not open yet. Please come again in the evening…"

"Don't talk nonsense," before he could finish, Valerie peremptorily cut him off, "you have a barmaid named Monica, let her out!"

"Who wants me?" A sensual lady swayed her hips from side to side as she walked out with a cigar between her fingers. "Oh, Devin's wife. Didn't you been kicked out by Devin? Why did you come here? Are you homeless?"

Valerie tramped angrily over and slammed Monica in her face. "You bitch! How dare you seduce my husband! What a shameless rat you are!"

Monica screamed, and the next moment she had grappled with Valerie. The waiters in the bar, of course, came to help Monica.

Monica was a termagant woman of great strength. With the help of other waiters, she easily brought Valerie to the ground and gave her a few claps. Valerie fell on the ground, her face swollen and her hair loose, and she could not rise at all.

Monica, however, was not satisfied. She asked two waiters to hold Valerie by grabbing her shoulders and then hit her hard on the face.

"Now, let's see who the bitch is? You! You keep pestering Devin even if you know he doesn't like you! Hah! How shameless!"

One waitress, seeing that Valerie was Devin's wife, advised Monica to let her go. After all, Devin was the grandson of old Sterling, and Valerie was old Sterling's granddaughter-in-law; it was not good to hurt the woman of the Sterling.

"Are you afraid of being looked for trouble by Devin? Rest assured, Devin doesn't take this woman as his wife at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken me home and slept with me in front of her! Besides, Devin had kicked her out of his house. He told me he would divorce her sooner or later. Do you think Devin or the Sterling will stand up for this woman? I bet Devin wouldn't help her even if she went back to complain!"

Valerie became black in the face at Monica's words, her teeth clamped, and her lips pale.

The waitress said nothing more. She kept on pressing down Valerie, allowing Monica to slap her in the face.

After several slaps, Monica finally gave vent to her anger. She asked a waiter to throw Valerie at the door of the bar.

Valerie cried chokingly and sagged to the ground in front of the bar. She never thought she would be beaten like this by a prostitute. Then she thought of Monica's sarcasm. She said that Devin did not take her as his wife and would divorce her sooner or later. Tears streamed down her face.
