Chapter 535 Severed All Ties
The servant packed up Lila‘s bags, who still refused to leave, and even went out of her way to force the servant to put her things back.
She couldn‘t possibly leave like this. She had to fight for her right to be here. It was beneath her to live a poor life. After mulling it in her head for a while, Lila decided to have a talk with both Johanna and Janet. As long as the two of them agreed to it, she still had one last chance to stay in the Whites ‘household. She really would do anything to stay here. When the second day came around, Lila waited outside the door of Janet‘s room early in the morning. It was actually Ethan who opened the door, helping Janet out of her room. With Ethan around, Lila didn‘t dare to do anything rash. Her plan was to plead to Janet when she was alone. She didn‘t think at first that Ethan would be around her twenty–four hours a day. However, after they left the house, they didn‘t come back. The Whites also hadn‘t returned since they went out yesterday. Lila had no idea where to find them. Lila stayed in the Whites‘ house for three whole days, then, the newspaper reported that the White family had announced that they had severed all ties with her. She would from now on take her birth father‘s last name, which was Gillian. From this point on, she was no long a White. Lila White was now Lila Gillian.
It was not until Lila finished reading the newspaper article that she recovered her senses. Both Beal and Johanna had seen through her thoughts from the very beginning. Now that this was indeed decided, there was nothing she could do to change
The announcement in the newspaper clearly reported that she was no longer the adopted daughter of the White family. She had no ties with the White family now.
right?”
This trick happened to work best before. Whenever she cried, Eric would never be able to deny her anything. Lila thought that she was very young and beautiful. If Eric could divorce his wife and marry her now, it would be a good way for her to escape the life of struggling in poverty. Right then, she saw that Eric had a sneer on his face. He had already found out that the White family had broken off their relationship with Lila, so he didn‘t want to continue deceiving her anymore. “You should head back to your birth parents. Just so you know, I won‘t marry you, Lila. Do you actually think you deserve to be my wife now that you have no title or money?”
He went on to say lazily, “If you‘re still interested in being my mistress, we can keep it up. If not, I won‘t force you to do anything. Head back and think it over carefully. And don‘t come here again. If my pregnant wife sees you, I won‘t let you get away with this.” It was not until then that Lila found out what kind of person Eric truly was. She was so angry that she snapped at him right on the spot, “Who wants to be your mistress? You‘re an absolute jerk, Eric!” Eric ignored her words, slammed the door, and shut her out. Lila was both angry and regretful at once. With tears in her eyes, she turned around and left.
