My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 

Layla saw Jessica retort to William until he was speechless. She widened her eyes and said shamelessly, “I worked hard to raise my son and only spent a little of his money. Isn’t that justified? 

“Besides, you’ve lived in this house for so many years. The rent over the years is enough to repay the money I owe you. I won’t let you live here anymore. All of you have to get lost.” 

Peter did not speak for a long time. He just looked straight at Layla. 

He had been neglected since he was young. The clothes he wore were leftovers from William, and the food he ate was what William did not like to 

cat. 

He had not studied for many years. 

But after work, he had to support Liam’s schooling. 

After Liam graduated, he did not mention anything about Peter’s support. 

Peter had once thought that they were a family and that everything would be fine if he compromised. 

However, he did not expect them to push their luck when he stepped back and tolerated them. 

He couldn’t help but think, ‘Since that’s the case, I might as well cut ties with these so–called family members… 

With this thought in mind, Peter clenched his fists and raised his head slightly. He said firmly, “So be it. Even if our family lives on the streets, I won’t sell my daughter.” 

It was just starting from scratch. It was no big deal. 

He felt as long as their family worked together, they would not starve. 

Audrey looked up in surprise. She wanted to say something. But she realized her throat was sore, and she couldn’t speak. 

Layla was dumbfounded. 

She had assumed Peter’s family would compromise and agree to marry their daughter to the Wright family after she threatened to chase them out. 

She did not expect them to be so stubborn. They would rather be homeless than compromise. 

Jessica glanced at her husband and knew he was not impulsive. She knew he would do what he said. 

She did not stop him. Instead, she added, “We can move out, but I’ll say this first. Since you’ve chased us out, don’t expect us to come back in the 

future.” 

Jessica’s tone was filled with unyielding indifference. “From now on, we won’t suck up to you if you get rich. But don’t expect us to help you when you have a hard time. We have nothing to do with each other.” 

‘So ruthless? Are they trying to sever ties?‘ For a moment, Layla and her other two sons‘ expressions changed. 

Liam could not help but whisper to Layla, “Mother, we can’t cut ties. We’ve already accepted the engagement money. How should we explain it to the Wright family if we let them leave?” 

Layla was a little hesitant. 

Peter was the most useful among her sons. She couldn’t bear to let him leave. 

After some hesitation, Layla looked at Peter and asked, “Peter, do you think so, too? So, you don’t want me as your mother after you move out? You don’t want this family anymore?” 

How could Peter not understand their thoughts? 

He lowered his eyes to hide the ridicule in them. Then, he said coldly, “You’re the one who didn’t want me first. I’ll still say the same thing. I’ll still pay you alimony. But I don’t have much to give you. After all, as you can see, this family is poor. Our family has to live outside.” 

Hearing this, Layla immediately looked like she was about to cry. She choked and said, “Are you blaming me? 

I’m not the one who forced you to move out. As the saying goes, a grown woman can’t be kept. Can’t you marry this money–losing good–for- nothing? That way, everyone will be happy.” 

“Shut up. Peter felt annoyed, and his attitude became even more unyielding. “My daughter has the right to choose her happiness. No one has the

right to force her. 

“I’ve already decided to return the house to you. From now on, you can let whoever you want to stay at this place. We’ll pack our luggage now.” 

With that, Peter pulled Jessica into the room and started tidying up.
