The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2253

Linda belittled the future that Clayton had thoughtfully planned for Michael as if it was worthless.

However, Clayton could not even defend himself.

It seemed as if all the sewage in the world was poured on Clayton.

This made Nicole feel uncomfortable.

Nicole raised her eyes slowly. Her gaze was stern and cold.

“Linda, you haven’t raised Michael for a day, so you have no right to comment on how Clayton raised him. You know very well what kind of people are around you. If Michael is under your care, do you think he’ll come out clean in the future?”

Linda was slightly startled by Nicole’s attitude because she did not expect this seemingly weak woman to have such a tough side.

She did not mind Nicole’s evaluation of her and was even proud of it.

“Since you know my network, you should know that Michael can get things that others can’t even dream of if he comes with me. I have inexhaustible money and power, so much so that it’ll even exceed your imagination. Compared to you all working hard in business, my life is considered perfect. If it wasn’t for that conservative Clayton who insisted on raising Michael, Michael would’ve been a little prince that everyone envies now!”

Linda stretched out her hand and made a gesture. Her eyes were curved upward into a beautiful arc.

Nicole chuckled lightly.

“That’s what you think. If Michael followed your path, he would be ridiculed and looked down upon his whole life.”

Nicole leaned back on the sofa and folded her arms nonchalantly as she looked at Linda contemptuously.

She ignored Linda’s angry face and continued in a gentle voice, “Of course, it’s your ability that you have your current achievements. For a woman, it is indeed enviable. But it’s not for Michael. He has to be independent, and what we can do for him is to give him a plan and purpose. Whether he can achieve it depends on his own efforts. Wealth and power do not conflict with the path he’s taking now, and he’ll get both eventually. I know that you’re concerned for Michael because you’re his aunt, but if you’re going to interfere with Clayton’s plan for Michael, I’ll have no choice but to bring him back to Mediania.”

Linda’s face changed slightly.

“You...”

Seeing Nicole’s calm smile, Linda gritted her teeth.

“I didn’t expect Clayton to have a wife that’s just as difficult to deal with. I thought all stepmothers don’t want their stepchildren to do well?”

Nicole hooked her lips and smiled slightly.

“So, you know that what you’re doing isn’t good for Michael?”

Linda was speechless.

Nicole smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if I’m his stepmother. Michael and I are a family. We trust and rely on each other. I can tolerate you visiting him because you’re his aunt, but don’t even think about scheming against him. You need to know that Michael still listens to me.”

Linda’s face froze. She stood up angrily and was about to leave.

However, she stopped halfway and turned to look at Nicole.

“Although I’m pissed, I won’t argue with you since you’ve taken care of him. If you ever need my help over here, you can come to me.”

Of course, Linda was hinting that there would be a price to pay.

Nicole paused and turned her head away. “Butler, please send her off.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Linda gave Nicole a meaningful look before she turned around and left.

Nicole sat there and looked out the window.

It was already afternoon, but the sky was still bright.
