Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Lincoln Green wants to file for divorce
 

Rose Taylor kept the video until now without exposing it, not because she cared, but because she worried that once the video was exposed, everyone would know that the relationship between the Green family and Abigail Green had deteriorated to the point of no return, and Brandon still protected that fat woman.

Although it would negatively affect the image of Abigail and Brandon and have some impact on the Piers, it would also make their situation even more difficult.

After all, the Stone family’s eagerness to marry Ruby was not because they deeply cared for her, but more because of the relationship between the Green and Piers families.

If the video got exposed, it would bring everything to light, and people might no longer show them any respect.

Thus, they could not expose this video unless absolutely necessary!

“Mom!” Ruby Green shouted impatiently when she couldn’t wait for Rose Taylor’s response.

Rose Taylor returned to her senses, “Ruby, this matter is not urgent yet.”

“How can it not be urgent? Why isn’t it urgent? Are we really afraid of that fat woman? Mom, don’t forget she ruined my leg!” Ruby’s eyes were filled with gloom as she mentioned her leg.

“Ruby, the more critical the moment, the less we can act impulsively!” Rose Taylor advised.

“What do we do now then!” Ruby was counting on the money for her treatment abroad. Without it, what should she do now? What would she do in the future!

“Mom will take you to the traditional Flowery medicine clinic for acupuncture again. Didn’t you say traditional Flowery acupuncture was helpful last time?” Rose Taylor was now grasping at straws.

“What use is it? My leg is still the same. It’s useless!” Ruby felt hatred, resentment, and regret.

“Trying is better than not trying, isn’t it?” Rose Taylor softly coaxed her daughter. Looking at Ruby’s leg pained her, but there were no other options. Nerve damage wasn’t something that could be easily healed.

“Mom, how is the paperwork coming along? I don’t want to stay here, not even for a second!” After the incident at the hotel with Clark Stone was exposed, the online insults never stopped. Coupled with the turnaround at the engagement ceremony, the contrast was too great, and the online comments became increasingly harsh.

Because of this, she disabled the comments function on Twitter. Yet some people still sent direct messages to insult her. She was overwhelmed but reluctant to abandon her millions of followers, so she never closed her account.

But the online insults were just talk.

What really bothered Ruby was that she was ostracized offline by the social circles of Gills City’s wealthy daughters.

Previously, because of her engagement to Brandon Piers, she was quite popular, becoming the most renowned and respected lady in the circle. But at the engagement ceremony, Brandon replaced the bride on the spot and indicated from the beginning that he wanted to marry Abigail Green, implying that Ruby was self-deluded.

This instantly turned her from an admired figure into a laughingstock.

Then came the scandal with Clark Stone at the hotel, ruining her reputation.

Originally, she planned to rely on the Piers’ shares to make a comeback and show the mocking daughters that even without Master Brandon, Ruby Green was not someone they could trample on easily.

But then…

Thinking of all this, Ruby could not calm her mind. Moreover, with her leg in this condition, she didn’t even have the courage to go out.

So she didn’t want to stay in the country anymore.

Listening to her daughter, Rose Taylor felt terrible.

She understood her daughter’s feelings, but she didn’t want to leave.

Ten years, a full ten years; she had climbed from the bottom of this city to her current position through hard work. Although she suffered a setback because of Abigail Green, she had deep roots and a strong foundation after many years.

Even though she lost over twenty million, as long as she found a way, the money could come back.

And she was also reluctant to give up her status as Mrs. Green.

Although Lincoln Pharmaceuticals wasn’t doing well, it was still a relatively well-known company. Despite Lincoln Green and her having nothing but their reputation now, as long as they had this identity, they wouldn’t lack admirers or opportunities.

Moreover, with a supporting Master Brandon behind Lincoln Pharmaceuticals, no matter how strained their relationship with Abigail Green became, if outsiders didn’t know, everything would be manageable.

For instance, the Stone family was still eager to marry Ruby.

But abroad, they wouldn’t have such advantages.

Additionally, with their current finances, how could they buy a big villa and hire servants abroad?

Looking around the big villa she had lived in for over ten years, Rose Taylor couldn’t bear to leave.

Life abroad couldn’t be as comfortable as it was at home. Without servants, how would they live?

After struggling for so many years and facing numerous hardships, how could she give up just because of this!

Rose Taylor looked at her daughter, “Ruby, Mom knows you’re in pain, but we can’t leave like this now. What will we do afterward? Neither of us understands the language abroad; we couldn’t survive. But it’s different here. We have a house and assets. As for your leg, we can go to another province or city. Once this calms down, Mom will take you, alright?”

“I don’t want to, Mom, I don’t want to…”

“But Ruby, can you give up? Willingly let everything be taken away and escape in humiliation?” Rose Taylor gently asked.

Ruby Green shook her head. Of course, she wasn’t willing!

Seeing this, Rose Taylor continued to gently comfort, “Ruby, you’re married to Clark Stone now. You can’t act like a child anymore; you need to think about the future. When Mom had nothing back then, but look at us now?”

Although many things had happened recently, compared to their past, it was worlds apart.

Besides, as long as Ruby could make Clark Stone happy, why would they worry about money?

After listening to her mother’s words, Ruby thought about Lincoln Green and their life over the years. She understood what her mother was implying. After hesitating for a while, she nodded.

She didn’t actually want to go abroad; she acted impulsively because she felt humiliated. Now, hearing her mother’s words, she knew this was their best choice.

Seeing her daughter understand, Rose Taylor felt relieved. At this moment, her phone suddenly rang, interrupting their conversation.

Rose Taylor glanced at the unfamiliar number, hesitated, and answered it. Her expression suddenly changed, and the phone fell to the ground with a thud.

Ruby Green hurriedly asked, “Mom, what now?”

Rose Taylor was dazed for a while before speaking in a daze, “Lincoln Green is suing for divorce.”

“What?” Ruby also sat up straight in shock, “How dare that old man divorce you and even file a lawsuit!”

Rose Taylor knew that Lincoln Green was consulting a lawyer. But after her previous outburst, the private nurse in the hospital said the old man had been weak and often slept most of the time. Every time she visited, he would become furious and breathless, resembling a decrepit man.

Yet now he was suing for divorce?

Moreover, according to the maid watching over Lincoln Green, he hadn’t met with Abigail Green or contacted a lawyer recently. How could he file a lawsuit?

The two who were previously scheming for Lincoln Green’s remaining wealth were now in a complete panic!
