The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 53

Standing in the airport lobby, she was in an entanglement. However, at this point, it was useless thinking about it. She could only wait until dawn before setting off.

Though under the same sky, the weather was contrasting in different cities. While it was raining heavily in T City, the sky in City B was filled with stars.

Linda Taylor went home very late after having fun with her friends. When she was about 200 meters away from the door, she saw a sneaky figure. Boosted by alcohol, she rushed forward and yelled, "Who is that?"

Right after she shouted, the person got so frightened and started crying, head in hands. Hearing that the voice was that of a man, she could not help but wonder, "That was impressive. Did I make a man cry just by shouting?"

"Hey, who are you? Why are you sneaking around in front of my door?"

She pushed him rudely.

The man with his head in his hands stopped crying, stole a glance at her, and said softly, "I.. I'm looking for my wife."

"Your wife? Who's your wife? Your wife is not in our house!"

"But the taxi driver sent me here, based on this address."

The man quickly took out a wrinkled piece of white paper from his jacket pocket, on which there was an address, and that was the address of the Taylor Family.

"That's strange. Who gave it to you?"

"I stole it from my father's study room."

"Who is your father?"

"My dad is a nouveau riche."

"Puff!"

She could not help but laugh. After all that talk, this man turned out to be a fool.

"Brother, you've come to the wrong place. Your wife isn't in our house. Please go somewhere else to find her."

Linda turned around and was about to leave when the man reached out and held her back. "You're lying. My wife lives here."

She shook him off impatiently and said disgustedly, "You're crazy. I told you she's not here. I'll call the police if you don't leave immediately."

The man cried again and took out a six-inch photo from his pocket. He muttered to himself, "Yasmine, Yasmine, where are you? Don't you want your Leighton anymore..."

Linda snatched the photo from his hand upon hearing Yasmine's name. Her eyes almost fell out when she looked at it. "She's your wife?"

Leighton Lind whimpered and nodded. "Yes." "You said she's your wife?"

Linda asked again in disbelief.

"Yeah, she's my wife whom my father bought for

me.

For several minutes, Linda did not say a word and just stared at the photo. She did not know if she should believe this fool's words. If she did not believe him, then what was this photo? The person in the photo was indeed Yasmine Taylor, who was the thorn in her eyes and flesh.

"Do you really want to see your wife?"

"...Yeah."

A trace of cunning flashed across Linda's eyes. "Well, I'll take you to see her right now."

She took Leighton to a hotel to settle down, and then began to ask him to tell her the whole story. Although he was mentally challenged and his words were intermittent, after some speculation and analysis, she basically understood most of it.

"So, your father spent a lot of money to buy Yasmine to be your wife? When the both of you grow up, she must belong to your family, am I right?"

Leighton nodded idiotically. "Yes."

Linda jumped up in excitement. For a moment, she was overjoyed and said, "Brother, you came at the right time. Do you have any idea? Yasmine is a good match for you. No one else suits her better than you do."

At the thought of having the goods on Yasmine, she was so exhilarated that she wanted to sing. She wanted to make Yasmine pay double for the humiliation she had suffered before.

"Where's my wife? Didn't you say you are taking me to her?"

Linda stopped smiling and said, "Don't worry. She will be back tomorrow after her business trip. You can sleep here tonight. I'll definitely take you to her tomorrow."

Leighton scratched his head and said, "All right."

As soon as Linda returned home, she woke her mother up. "Mom, wake up, I have superb news to tell you."

Dorothy Ryles's eyes were half-closed. "What is it? Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm so sleepy."

"No, if I don't tell you about it, I won't be able to fall sleep tonight."

She began to tell her mother the story of her meeting Leighton Lind. After listening to her, Dorothy's sleepiness immediately disappeared. "Really?"

"Absolutely. Mom, this is our chance to turn the tables. As long as we reveal her secret, the marriage between her and Sebastian will be a marital fraud. Then, we'll see if she has the face to stay in the Simons family!"

"As soon as Sebastian drives her out, we can humiliate her as much as we want. By that time, she won't be able to enter our house again. We can also spread her scandal and make her lose face in the entire City B."

Linda became more and more excited as she continued to say. Dorothy suddenly frowned and said, "No, you can't directly go to the Simons family to reveal this matter."

"Why not?"

"Don't forget that your father and I are involved in the marriage of Yasmine and Sebastian. If you expose it, it's hard to guarantee that Sebastian will not vent his anger on us. We have to consider this matter carefully."

Linda thought that what her mother said was reasonable, so after three hours of discussion, they finally decided to ask Yasmine out and make her retreat.

Yasmine had just flown back to City B from T City. As soon as she got off the plane, she received a call from Linda. "Hello?"

"Where are you? Let's meet up."

"I'm not free," she refused coldly.

Linda seemed to have expected her rejection, so she was not angry and said firmly, "You have to come, or else you'll regret it."

"Oh? Give me a reason that I have to go?"
