The Boss Went Crazy After Divorce

The appearance of Wyatt surprised Florence, “Mr. Matthews.”

“Good to see you, Mrs. Pearson.”

The surname of Florence’s husband was also Pearson and her husband was also in a collaboration with the Matthews family. So, Florence had met Wyatt before.

And as the young master of the Matthews family, Wyatt was also a famous figure in this city.

Wyatt nodded at Florence and said with his lips curved upwards, “Sorry for eavesdropping. But I’ve been sitting next to you on the other side of the wall.”

Florence felt a bit awkward. Lilly loved to make trouble of nothing and she knew if she complained to her mother, it wouldn’t change anything. So, she tried to win sympathy from Filip by exaggerating.

Florence had no special feelings for Starry. She didn’t particularly like her nor hate her.

But she believed Frances’ judgement on people.

After all, Starry had got divorced with Filip but Frances still cared about her so much. So, there must be something unusual in her.

Florence didn’t attend France’s birthday party several days ago because she was still abroad. After she knew what happened on that party, she in fact quite admired Starry.

And as Lilly’s mother, she certainly knew whether she was lying or not.

Filip had always been a smart person and Florence had no idea why he chose to believe Lilly.

She couldn’t stand Filip’s interrogation against Starry but before she could say anything to blame him, Wyatt appeared.

It was a domestica affair though the two had got divorced. But it was still quite embarrassing to let Wyatt know their conversation.

Florence said seriously, “Sorry, Mr. Matthews. My daughter is spoiled by her father. I’ll discipline her.”

But Filip…

Even Frances had said that Filip was a stubborn ass. Florence didn’t know what to do with him.

Wyatt smiled, “There must be some misunderstanding between us, Mrs. Pearson. I’m just here to tell you what really happened during the casting. Ms. Pearson didn’t pass and she thought it was because Ms. Bradley gave her a low score deliberately. Though we’ve given her all the judges’ marking form to show her she was wrong, she might still be too angry to hear our explanation.”

Wyatt halted for a second and then continued, “And sorry, Ms. Pearson. Actually, I’ve given you a score lower than Starry’s. Maybe it was because I’m not a professional actor.”

He managed to summarize the question in just a few words.

Seemingly, he was apologizing to Lilly. But in fact, his words had put Lilly into an embarrassing position.

He was not a professional actor and he just gave his score based on her performance.

Now Lilly lowered her head and remained silent.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Florence also knew Wyatt was hinting delicately and she did feel unhappy when she heard it. But Wyatt was telling the truth. Florence had no choice but to reply calmly, “Now I know. Please don’t blame her, Mr. Matthews.”

Wyatt turned to Starry, “I won’t, Mrs. Pearson. But Ms. Bradley is a friend of mine and I just want you to know the truth.”

Wyatt then fixed his playful eyes on Lilly, “By the way, I heard Ms. Pearson said she would ask Mr. Pearson to deal with Ms. Pearson. But now that you know it was I who gave her a low score, I hope Mr. Pearson could turn to deal with me. Maybe we should finish it here, Ms. Pearson?”

Now Florence knew Wyatt was defending Starry and there was a stirring of emotions in her heart. But she was brought up by Frances, so she knew what was wrong and what was right.

Lilly did make a mistake. Florence wouldn’t scold her daughter in public but she still had to make her apologize.

“Apologize to Ms. Bradley, Lilly.”

Florence then threw a glance at Filip.

He was sitting there bit his lower lip slightly. Noticing Florence’s glance, his eyes blinked and he remained silent.

Florence sighed and stared at Lilly seriously.

Lilly did afraid Florence glaring at her as such. She looked like a cunning fox whose tail got caught and murmured “sorry” to Starry.

Florence said, “Louder.”

Lilly’s eyes had reddened, and she finally spoke after a while of silence, “Sorry, Ms. Bradley.”

Starry also turned to her and said coldly, “I heard it, Ms. Pearson.”

Now Lilly felt as if Starry slapped on her face.

But with Florence’s presence, Lilly dared not say anything anymore.

Florence continued, “I hope you could forgive her, Ms. Bradley. Sorry for disturbing you.”

“It’s so kind of you, Mrs. Pearson,” Starry smiled, “I still have other plans. See you, Mrs. Pearson and Mr. Pearson.”

Then she nodded and pulled her scarf up before she turned away to leave.

Wyatt also said goodbye and followed Starry to leave.

Florence stared at their back and then turned to Filip, whose face was quite pale. She found it quite interesting and said, “Mr. Matthews must be wooing Starry.”

A flicker of anger appeared in his eyes but soon faded away.

Filip took a piece of tissue and said as if he didn’t hear Florence’s words, “You were too hard on Lilly, Aunt Florence.”

The smile on Florence disappeared, “Did you hear what she said? If I believed her, Starry would be wronged.”

And the she asked suddenly, “Why did you interrogate Starry?”

Filip’s brows furrowed for a split second.

Florence knew he would do this when she was unhappy. But she didn’t care what he would answer. But his expression did annoy her, “I didn’t understand why Starry decided to divorce with you. Now I do.”

Florence picked up her purse and looked at Lilly, “Let’s go.”

She had got to teach her daughter manners when they were back!
