Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

Maddison was crying hysterically. "Mother, you have to stand up for me. I might not be Luz' mother-in-law now, but I'm still her elder, she should have some respect for me. She slapped me in public. How will I live with this? I've embarrassed the Maynard family."

She said that she had embarrassed the Maynard Family, but she put all the blame on Luz.

That damn girl, how dare she slap her? And this embarrassment was even posted online. How will she face anyone in the future?

The old Mrs Maynard had been hearing her cry for the entire morning and was not in a good mood. "Luz is not an unreasonable person, you must have done something to aggravate her."

She had watched Luz grow up, and she was her preferred granddaughter-in-law. She wouldn't just slap Maddison without reason in the restaurant.

"Mother, don't you believe me? What can I do to her? I just happened to meet her at lunch, so I took the initiative to say hello to her. She never like me when she was still married to Henry because I was his stepmother, and she's been much ruder to me since the divorce. I just told her that she should respect me as an elder and she slapped me. Mother, was I wrong?"

Of course, Maddison wouldn't tell her exactly what had happened yesterday. If Henry heard that she commented on his libido, who knew what he would do. 

Henry sat on the sofa with narrowed eyes. Early in the morning, when he was about to go to the company, he was called back to the mansion by his grandmother. Only then had he known that that woman had taken the day off for this.

She really was something else.

"Luz isn't like that. There must be some misunderstanding."

No matter how Maddison cried and distorted the facts, the old Mrs Maynard was more willing to believe in her intuition. However, she was also confused. What had Maddison said to the girl to make her behave like this? Now that it's been posted online, she must be flustered.

"Henry, you have to investigate this matter carefully. Even though you and Luz are divorced now, you should still look after her. I don't want her to suffer."
