Chapter 1695
Lenora kept quiet, unsure how to respond to Jacob.
“I suggest you quit messing around, or I’ll expose even more stuff online,” Jacob said, shutting his eyes.
Lenora’s heart ached.
“Do you really hate me that much?” she choked out.
Jacob didn’t answer, acting like he hadn’t heard her
Graham Strand lingered at the doorway for a moment before striding in, grabbing Lenora’s hand and leaving the
hospital room

Everything she had been through in her life was nothing compared to these past few days.
“Erica ditched him, yet he’s still playing the dark knight for her, completely disregarding his own mother’s
wellbeing! And the netizens are being so nasty!” Lenora cried out in pain.
Graham stood in front of her, “Lenora, Jacob and I have always treated you well, right?”
Lenora didn’t say anything
Lenora looked up at Graham in disbelief, “Are you saying you want to divorce me?”
“Look at yourself, you’re a hot mess! Even lunatics look more put together than your Graham seemed to have
reached his breaking point, “Although the netizens” words were harsh, they were right.”
What Graham couldn’t accept was that Erica was chased away by Lenora, but ironically, Lenora was the one
forcing Erica to divorce and remarry Jacob.
In her world, everyone seemed to be mere puppets, dancing to the tunes of her emotions.
Graham always knew that Lenora was a handful.
For years, he had been tolerating her, helping her deal with her problems, as long as she was happy.
But now, he realized that he might have been wrong all along
She had gotten used to finding joy at the expense of others’ misery, and now things were spiraling out of control.
In the end, he too had to face the consequence alongside her.
Next month, at the shareholders’ meeting of the Strand family company, he might not be able to keep his CEO title,
unless a miracle happened.

But Lenora seemed oblivious to all these, to her husband’s plight and agony
She spent her days venting her anger over Erica
Jacob was such a good, dutiful son, yet he was forced to expose his mother’s misdeeds online…
Just thinking about it made Graham’s heart break.
“People are spreading lies about me, things I’ve never done!” Lenora, seldom seeing her husband this furious,
started to get scared and whimpered, “You’re not protecting me!”
“When you were bullying Erica, our son didn’t protect her either!!” Graham’s hand shook. “Even when Jacob was
critically ill, Erica came to visit him, bearing no grudges. She’s done us a huge favor!”
Of course, Lenora wouldn’t understand Erica’s pain just from these few words.
But Graham’s mention of divorce did give Lenora a jolt.
She had a lot of money, but she also needed the love and pampering from her husband and son.
If she got divorced at such a sensitive time, she would become the laughingstock of high society!
