Chapter 1041
"Mira, it's me!"
She called her ex-colleague Miriam. Initially, she wanted to ask about Daisy's situation. After all, Howard was her
ex-husband, and those reporters were really good digging gossips. They could even find out what happened in
your family eight generations ago. On top of that, there were speople who did not understand the situation
but who would blindly slander them together too. Alicia was very afraid of hurting her!
After all, she was also a mother then!
"What? Do you already have plans to meet up with Daisy for tea?" Hearing that the two of them were going out
and had even made plans to meet up that afternoon for tea to exchange information, Alicia quickly accepted
Miriam's invitation. "Okay, then I'll get changed. Let's meet up in the afternoon!"
After hanging up the phone, Alicia scrolled through the news again. She was speechless seeing how they were
grilling Daisy online. Fortunately, they still had the conscience to blur her face in the photos.
Seeing that it was still early, Alicia made ssimple arrangements. Then, she went back to bed and took a
nap.
At that moment, the Lance Group was in total disarray in every aspect.
In the room, Caven's mother, Renee pinched Hallie's arm and hit her as she yelled.
"You're a witch. You don't think before you do things. Aren't you ashamed? What on earth did you do to my son?
From a perfectly good man, you turned him into this!"
"He was a gay to begin with! How can you blme for his sexual orientation?"
"Who should | blif not you? If it weren't for the fact that you were infertile, would my good son beclike
this? He would rather be with a man than you! You sl*t, look at what you've done! You were unkempt before
getting married, and | just can't believe you're still the safter! The fact that my son married you is his life's
greatest misfortune! You've embarrassed the entire Lance family!"
Renee grabbed the newspaper from the side and threw it to her face. Her face was pitch black and gloomed, and
it was red from anger, even her neck was swelling.

Hallie, who was already feeling wronged and being bullied, felt as if she had swallowed explosives. "Are you
blind? I'm the victim here who had been framed. How can you even believe this kind of gossip?"
Laven was obviously her first. If that wasn't the case, why would she have swallowed her rage and tried her best
to live a good life with him, trying to turn him straight?
Hallie clutched her hair in irritation, filled with anger. She wanted to live properly. Why did she have to marry a
man like that? All the tenderness he had shown her was fake!
He was so good at coaxing her, and made her listen to everything he said, and then he began to show his true
colors!
In the beginning, she had genuinely thought that he had begun to lose interest in her because she wasn't good
enough. He had told her in disgust that her arms were even thicker than his thighs. Thus, she tried her best to
lose weight. She becso thin that her collarbone was visible. Then, he had said that she was like a stick
without any sense of femininity. To think that she had been stupid enough to try and fatten herself back... She
really tried very hard to please him. Even if she had to torture her body, she still did everything she could.
However, all of those d*mned things he said were just excuses and
schemes!
He didn't even like women!
That was why no matter how she changed herself, or even if she was as beautiful as a fairy, he could still nitpick
at her flaws!
The reason why a despicable and shameless man like him had done that was so that he wouldn't get any blood
on his own hands. He wanted to annoy her, and to make her think that she was the one in the wrong. He
constantly picked on her and destroyed her confidence, using her so-called "weaknesses" to control her. On one
hand, he could do whatever he wanted. On the other hand, he wanted to maintain his image for as long as he
could!
It was also later on when she registered a phone number using a man's identity, she accidentally downloaded an
So, that was their usual trick!
As they had a different sexual orientation, but still wanted to maintain a normal appearance, either for their
careers or for the safety of their family, so on one hand, they would look down on women, but at the stime,
they would also try their best to make them stay by their sides, and to use them as a tool in putting on a fake
image for them, and bearing children forthem!
H.
After all, it was hard for people like them to be accepted by the society. Of course, they needed to keep their
bloodlines going as a temporary means of putting up a faux front, even though it was a sacrifice. wasn't because
it was something they wanted to do, but it was just to avoid getting nagged by their families, so as to do
something for them. They just wanted to give their parents an answer, and keep up their image in front of the
public.
If she had not gotten herself into their world by downloading the app, she would not have known that in private,
they discussed all kinds of ways to keep their acts up by telling lies to women. Naturally, behind every man like
him, there was a wife who was having the sunfortunate life as her, living a life like a widow even though
being having a husband!
However, sof them might be a little luckier. Their husbands might use sweet words and a stable lifestyle as
husbands and wives to create a beautiful illusion of love for them. Apart from a rather dead bedroom, their
marriage was likely still happy. At least they would have all sorts of material provisions, as well as being treated
gently and considerately, along with sweet words.
The most unfortunate of all had to
be the type like Hallie, who had a husband who was temperamental and would get hot and cold. This type of
husband wouldn't care about his wife would refuse living as a married couple, and would even use all kinds of
methods to shove the blonto the wife! It wasn't that she had not thought of divorcing him, but every time,
he would apologize, kneel down, and coax her with sweet words, and the swould repeat itself!
She had been patient. Aside from the fact that she had developed feelings for him, it was also because of his
qualifications were not bad!
At least if people ignored the inside story that outsiders wouldn't know about, everything still looked perfect on
the surface!
Marriage had a whole variety of flavors and could bring about emotions to it. Indeed, only the people involved
could understand.

Fed up with the Lance family's disgusting methods of doing things, Hallie couldn't bear it anymore and she
began to shout hysterically as well.
"Only an irresponsible mother like you, who can't distinguish right from wrong, could give birth to such a
monster! You've already harmed a lot of people badly! I'm the one who was really unlucky to marry your son!"
"What did you say?"
As they roared at each other, both their eyes were bloodshot and started pulling at each other. Laven entered
the door looking unruffled, and he witnessed the scene. His was filled with anger. He strode forward, grabbed
Hallie away, and began to throw punches and kicks at her.
"Are you so bold that you dare to lay your hand on my mother?"
"You b*tch! What a bad omen!"
Laven grabbed her hair and did not show any mercy. In the blink of an eye, the room was in a mess, with crying
and howling, and all kinds of chaotic voices could be heard. "Ow... Ah..."
"All right, stop fighting! What if you kill her!"
In a tea house that afternoon, Alicia
got together with Miriam and Daisy.
As a mother herself, she was initially worried that the accident would drag down Daisy, who was a single mother
with a hard life. She secretly hoped that she could help her somehow. However, when she saw that Daisy had
even brought her daughter, Ronnie along, and how the two of them were smiling all over, she was then relieved.
They looked even better than how they looked in the photos she saw before.
After chatting casually for a while, she hugged the lovely little Ronnie, and her heart was about to melt. She
grabbed a plushie that cwith the meal and gave it to her to play with, and her gaze was directed at the
opposite side. "People always say that daughters tend to be more attached to their mothers. How wonderful!
Daisy, there's no need to be so formal within the future if there's anything you need. We're so close, after
alll"
When they were in the company in the past, they often helped each other out. Moreover, both of them had
carefree personalities. They were not the kind of people who were materialistic. They were great people to
befriend! While speaking, Miriam held onto one of Alicia's arms as well. "Right, right, now we have a rich woman
to lean on! Waiter, two more plates of chicken wings..."
Alicia rolled her eyes as Daisy grinned. "As usual, all you care about is food..."
