Divorce?
No way!
Marcos's face turned from pale to green and then to red. He was trembling with anger and pointed at Lainey, unable to say a word.
"What, do you have something on her?" Dustin looked at Marcos, full of confusion.
Marcos was at a loss for words and stood still on the spot.
"Grandpa, a divorce would reflect badly on our family name. What will the Xiao family think of us?
"Aunt Lainey must have done this crazy thing for her pregnant daughter. Please forgive her."
Aleigha was not in a hurry to kick Lainey and Emilia out. Their punishment was not enough yet.
Compared to what she had suffered, this was nothing.
Everyone present was shocked. No one had expected that Aleigha would stand out for Lainey and Emilia.
Lainey looked at Aleigha. She had no idea what Aleigha was up to.
"Dad, I don't think it's gonna come to that. A divorce could hurt my face."
Seeing that Aleigha said so, Marcos quickly added. He knew that he couldn't fall out with Lainey at this time.
If she exposed everything he'd done, he could be the one getting kicked out of the house.
Lainey breathed a sigh of relief. Marcos didn't dare to divorce her. After all, she knew too many of his secrets.
That was why she threw all caution to the wind for her plan.
However, her plan failed at the last step. She had not expected that Charlotte would call Ronan and send her to the nearest hospital.
Ronan was Dustin's man. Even if she wanted to bribe him, she couldn't.
"What about my face? This woman is a jinx. Give her some money and send her away."
Dustin was angry as hell. He sounded very determined.
"Grandpa, please give Aunt Lainey and Emilia another chance for my sake. I want us to live together as a family.
"If you're mad at me, I can apologize. Grandpa, please don't drive them out, okay?"
Aleigha walked to Dustin's side. Her voice was soft and gentle, but her heart was ice-cold.
Kicking them out was not even revenge. She wanted more.
She was not gonna let them leave in one piece. She would return to them a hundredfold what she had been through.
Dustin looked at Aleigha with a complicated expression. He didn't know how to answer her.
"Grandpa, I beg you."
Aleigha looked at Dustin with clear eyes. After a while, he nodded helplessly.
"For Aleigha's sake, I'm not gonna kick you guys out. Don't think trickery is gonna get you anywhere in this family."
"I have seen too many people these years. I don't even bother to mention what you have done. If this happens again, I'll do whatever it takes to get you out of here."
"Thank you, Dad. We won't do it again. Emilia, come on, say thank you to Grandpa!"
Lainey pulled Emilia to Dustin's side. It was really rare for the two of them to look so embarrassed.
