Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 11

Stephanie Lindt did not come back to her senses until Lindsey Juhl hung up the phone.

"I told you! We have been raising an ungrateful child for so many years, and now she’s independent, she doesn't care about our family’s survival!"

The more Stephanie thought about it, the angrier she became. To her, Lindsey was akin to a dog she had raised.

Now, this dog had gone rogue and was not wagging its tail at her anymore!

Henry Juhl sat on the sofa without uttering a word. He had heard their conversation on the phone earlier.

Last night when he found out that Lindsey had disappeared in the middle of the night, he knew something had happened.

"Now Mr. Woltman is asking for her and now that little bitch won't listen! What should we do?"

Henry frowned and his voice, which had been calm a minute ago, rose a little as he said, "Enough! Look at yourself! You look like a miserable old shrew!"

The Juhls fed and clothed her. If it weren't for them, this unwanted little girl would be sleeping out on the streets.

"She's not the same as before. She's not that easy to control."

Was it because the girl was beside him?

"Zayn, you're so busy and I still asked you to accompany me for dinner. You sure you won't be mad at me?"

Jenny Lenig held Zayn's arm like a pampered princess.

"Of course not. What do you want to eat?"

He did not have any other expression on his face but he replied with a soft tone and his eyes focused on his beloved.

Lindsey overheard their conversation and the look on her face was pitiful. Only then did she realize that she had unknowingly walked downstairs to the lobby of the Guggenheim Tower.

The tears that she had held in all day poured out as she could no longer hold them back. Despite the distance, Zayn sensed something and stopped in his footsteps. He suddenly turned in her direction...
