Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 772

She had come home wanting nothing more than a decent meal. Was that too much to ask?

So what if she had a little fight with that good-for-nothing Carter? So what if he didn’t come chasing after her the moment she left, like he used to?

It was as if Carter had abandoned her, and now the entire Thompson family was giving her attitude.

Paige’s face was dark, her expression cold enough to freeze water.

From across the table came a derisive scoff.

“I say, Paige, have you forgotten that this is the Thompson family home? You’ve been married for over twenty years. What, did you think you could come back here and run the place?”

“We all think these chefs are excellent.”

“Dad, the other mothers, and all of us who actually live here are quite fond of them.”

“And you want to fire our chefs with a flick of your tongue.”

“Don’t you think you’re being a bit tyrannical?”

“Remember, this isn’t the Blue family estate. No one here is going to put up with your spoiled behavior.”

The speaker was Allen’s wife, Lilian, the woman who now managed all the household expenses and affairs.

She had hated Paige for a long time.

Every time Paige visited, she would flaunt her happiness for everyone to see, as if people didn't know what a wonderful husband she’d married, what a brilliant and talented son she had, or what a high status she enjoyed with the Blues.

They had all heard that Carter had shown no intention of fetching her or even trying to make amends.

Naturally, Paige’s standing in the Thompson family had plummeted.

Everyone knew how to play the game of treating people according to their status.

Paige had earned her place in her maternal home because of the Blues. Now that the Blues were giving her the cold shoulder, plenty of people were eager to watch the drama unfold.

“You haven’t had a moment of peace since you got back!”

“If you want to throw your weight around, go do it in your own home!”

“Who are you trying to intimidate here? Paige, you need to understand something. Your sister-in-law is the mistress of this house, and you are just a guest!”

“Your standing in the Thompson family depends on your standing in your husband’s family.”

“Don’t get that cause and effect mixed up.”

Olive stared grimly at Paige, wanting her to behave, but more than that, wanting her to wise up and go back to the Blue family.

This time, he had a very bad feeling.

For the past few days, things at the company had been going poorly.

They had planned to teach the Sullivan Group’s Easton Heights branch a lesson, but to his surprise, the plan was not unfolding as he had expected…
