My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 7

Despite mentally preparing himself on the way back to the Levine manor, Christopher still sucked in a

deep breath upon facing his grandfather’s strong aura.

Maxwell hit his grandson’s b*dy with a harsh smack of his cane while admonishing him angrily, “You

wastrel! If you continue to be obstinate, you’ll destroy the Levine Group

Even if he liked Katherine at first, when he learned that Kiara was carrying the descendant of the

Levine family, he decided to turn a blind eye.

By now, the whole world knew about Kiara’s indecent past.

Maxwell was also not a fool. “How could I not know that it’s that woman’s tricks,” he remarked inwardly.

Christopher remained standing, not daring to sit down. “It was my negligence that had led to the grave

mistake today, Grandpa. Don’t worry. I’ll settle this issue properly

“That’s easy for you to say. How are you planning to settle this? Those old geezers have already

phoned me earlier today. I’m sure you’re well aware of their motives”

Maxwell could not calm himself down. “Don’t forget that I can take away your CEO position since I gave

it to you. You’ve disobeyed me again and again and disappointed me repeatedly. The Larsons of

Dellmoor and our family have a long–standing friendship with equal statuses. At first, I intended to join

our families together through marriage but didn’t insist further since you disagreed.”

He paused before continuing. However, after marrying Katherine, not only were you not interested in

her and didn’t appreciate her, you even fooled around with other women. What do you not like about

her? She’s well–mannered, capable of managing the household, and such a gentle and virtuous

granddaughter–in–law. But you still asked for a divorce without hesitating. Now no one knows where

she went.”

As soon as he arrived at that point. Maxwell was infuriated. He raised his cane and hit Christopher

again. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“She took good care of you while honoring the elders on your behalf for two years without complaining,

and yet, you still dumped her. Now you’re reaping the consequences with that vixen being the cause of

your ruin.”

On this day, Maxwell was beyond furious and glared at his grandson.

“I didn’t expect the clever grandson that I was proud of to make such an erroneous. judgment in his

life,” he thought.

With that, he left in a huff.

Meanwhile, Lilian Thompson and Christopher’s mother, Heather Jameson, were enjoying the shade in

the courtyard while secretly paying attention to the commotion in the study.

When she noticed her husband storming out of the room, Lilian quickly went to console him, “There’s

no point getting angry since it has already happened. What will you do if you get sick due to anger?

Your grandson can take care of himself.”

Maxwell’s temper flared again upon seeing that the old lady was still protecting their disappointing

grandson.

“He became like this all thanks to you spoiling him. A loving mother begets a useless child. He’s truly

the living proof of that saying.”

Lilian was rendered speechless. In all honesty, she felt that Katherine was a good girl and was very

attentive toward her.

Seeing Maxwell leaving in a huff, she could only shake her head helplessly.

At that moment, Christopher walked toward her. “Grandma!” he cried out.

“It’s too late to regret now, Christopher.”

She heaved a sigh before continuing “What a misfortune! You mustn’t follow in the footsteps of your

good–for–nothing dad. Your mom had suffered a lot of hardships raising you alone all these years.

Can’t you see her suffering? Or perhaps the Levine family has a history of womanizers? Such a

disgrace!”

“Trust me, Grandma. I’ll take care of this matter. I also didn’t expect Kiara to be that kind of person,” he

replied.

Lilian’s voice carried a hint of mockery. “Even if Kiara is a decent woman, you still shouldn’t provoke

her. A married man should behave well and put his career first.”

She then added, “I heard that Katherine left without taking anything. What’s your current progress? Any

news about her?”

“She seemed to have vanished from this world,” Christopher thought as he shook his

head.

Lilian did not wish to comment further and merely patted her grandson on the shoulder. “She’s such a

good granddaughter–in–law. It’s your misfortune.”

Christopher could not understand why everyone sided with Katherine.

“It’s almost as if they were all brainwashed. I guess I’ve underestimated her. She’s good at bribing her

way into people’s hearts. Everyone in the family seems to be hostile. toward me,” he thought.

At that moment, the man, who was used to being high and mighty, felt uncomfortable being treated like

a trash bin.

However, there were still tons of things he had to deal with at the company, especially Vincent’s gift,

which was enough to keep him busy for a while.

After watching her son leave, Heather had a lot weighing on her mind.

“I have to do something no matter what as I won’t allow that woman to ruin my son that I’ve raised so

carefully,” she thought.

Hence, she instructed her assistant to check Christopher’s real estate information and discovered that

he had recently refurnished one of his mansions.

In a high–end mansion located within a wealthy district, Kiara was panicking.

“I’d originally thought that I would soon live a better life. Never would I have imagined. that I’ll be hated

by everyone instead,” she thought.

All of a sudden, the mansion door swung open. Kiara was delighted, thinking that Christopher had

returned.

She did not expect an elegant woman to appear before her.

It was none other than Heather, Christopher’s mother.

Kiara was in disbelief. “Mdm. Jameson, what brings you here?”

Heather had no interest in treating the other woman politely. “Why can’t I be here? It’s my house. I’d

like to ask you in return. What are you doing on the property of the Levine family, Ms. Assheton?”

Kiara did not wish to keep up the pretense of a docile woman any longer. “Christopher said that he had

gifted this house to me.”

Heather learned through a lifetime of experience that one must never be lenient when dealing with a

mistress.

“Really? Without any proof, you’re merely spouting nonsense. I can trespassing on private property.

With your tarnished reputation, I don’t suppose you still dream of marrying into the Levine family. Am I

right? Pack your bags and leave if you know what’s good for you. It’s the most decent respect that our

family can offer you. now.”

Kiara was well aware that she had lost completely at that moment.

“It’s true that Christopher did love me. But I also know that he hates liars the most. Moreover, my

indecent past is now exposed, so I no longer harbor any hope of ever

marrying into the Levine family,” she thought.

During this time, Christopher was having a meeting at Levine Group when Felix, whispered into his ear.

“Bad news, Mr. Levine. Mrs. Levine went to meet Ms. Assheton at the mansion.”

“It seems like my mom has gone to trouble Kiara,” he thought.

Before this, he would have stopped the meeting and hurried over.

However, at present, he merely smiled wryly.

Knowing his mother well, he knew that no matter how much she detested Kiara, she would go easy on

the latter.

“At the most, she’ll just kick Kiara out of the house. That’s also good. It saves me the trouble of

handling it myself again, he remarked inwardly.

Hence, after a short pause, Christopher regained his composure and continued the meeting.

His priority was to help Levine Group overcome the crisis.
