The Divorced Heiress

Everyone except Ariana was shocked as she had already known who the woman was.

Also, she had never seen a lady like Amanda as she didn’t live in the city, she had suspected her to be Marie’s elder sister when she had the name as she had already investigated Marie thus she knew the names of everyone around her and those who were related to her.

Luke looked at Leslie with hatred shocking the latter and disbelief was written all over her face.

“You! Did you approach me on your sister’s accord? I had just come out of teaching her a lesson then you walked in. Did she call you so that you can follow me in my office?” Luke asked angrily. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Leslie told herself that she should control herself and try her best not to be angry as the man in front of her was her husband and she didn’t want to be like her, who had a ruined marriage. Although she wasn’t in love with Luke, she had promised herself to make the relationship work now that the man she had always admired and wanted to meet was her husband.

“What are you trying to say? I am just her step–sister!” she said.

Once again they were shocked and they looked at Amanda asking her with their eyes whether the latter was telling the truth. Amanda nodded her head.

“Luke, it isn’t that I am against your marriage with her. I just wanted you all to know who she is to avoid you guys quarreling in the future,” Amanda said which made her family dumbfounded as they

didn’t understand what she was trying to say.

They all knew how the latter hated Marie thus they didn’t understand why she was so understanding

when it came to Leslie.

“Well, I have known the latter since I was in high school, and by the looks of it, she doesn’t” remember me. When the others ganged up against me when I got married to Damien, she was one of people who didn’t look down on me and wanted to be my friend. Although some of them later chang when they saw how the Scotts treated me, some started to distance themselves but she was one of th few who never did. Also, she never got along with Marie and most of the time lived with her maternal

grandparents,” Amanda explained making her family understand why she she was behaving that way.

On the other side, Leslie looked at her in disbelief. “Amanda?”

“Yes, it is me! Thank you for everything you have ever done for me. Now that you are back in the

when it came to Leslie.

“Well, I have known the latter since I was in high school, and by the looks of it, she doesn’t remember me.

On the other side, Leslie looked at her in disbelief. “Amanda?”

“Yes. It is me! Thank you for everything you have ever done for me. Now that you are back in the country and have gotten married to my brother, I will naturally protect you from them. I know event without being told that you are trying to escape from them,” Amanda said as she looked at her softly and with a smile.

Leslie was moved and at the same time, she was still in shock. As she never expected the lady who was always looked down upon among the wealthy is Anderson’s youngest daughter.

“Luke, treat her well. I can assure you that she isn’t here on Marie’s behalf or to cause our family to be in dispute.” Amanda told her brother who was looking at his wife with complicated emotions.

If she was asked, she would have opted to divorce the woman as he hated Marie and her family. On one hand, he felt sorry for what she had gone through and wanted to protect her and return the favor she had done to his little sist

but on the other, he didn’t want to have any entanglement with her.

After some time, he said, “Okay but be aware that if I am ever told to choose between my sister and you. I will always choose my sister. I hate that sister of yours to the core and it is even a miracle that I am not divorcing you after knowing that you have the same blood as she running in your body. Another thing, make sure that your father doesn’t find out who you got married to, there is no way we are ever going to help them out. Marie is our biggest enemy and we will destroy anything related to her thus be prepared for your family to go bankrupt and for it to be caused by your in–laws. I hope that when that day arrives, we won’t have any arguments.”

Leslie listened carefully and quietly without interrupting him and the more she listened the more she was shocked that she had not been gone for long but her family had already gotten in trouble with the richest family. From how they expressed their hatred of the family especially of Marie, there was no need for anyone to tell her anything as she understood that the woman must be the one who had

caused all the problems. Also, she knew how much her step–sister loved Damien thus she could guess why they‘ hated her so much. But to her, that was not her problem as she had already disregarded that family as her own the moment she had her mother were driven out by the mistress who had been brought back

her own the moment she had her mother were driven out by the mistress who had been brought back

home.

“I understand. Also, don’t be afraid that I was sent by them or that I will ever try to make peace between you and my family. That was their one mistake and they have to be punished for that. I was even planning to make them pay for what they did to me today. Honey, can you revenge for me?” She said as she held Luke’s hand and acted pitiful making Luke’s cold expression fade a little.

The latter had a soft spot for her as she was the wife and felt connected to her. Nonetheless, he felt ashamed and ticklish when he heard her calling him honey.

The others saw the blush on his face and laughed at him.

“Wow, I never thought I would ever see you blushing. Sister–in–law, keep it up!” Marco said.

“That’s enough. Leslie, you are now Leslie Anderson, not Leslie Lopez. Welcome to the family.”
