When Sue heard Bailey’s derogatory language, she wanted to rush up to her, but Jason grabbed her wrist.
She glared at the man angrily, but her gaze was also full of grievances.
Jason realized that his tolerance toward Bailey had caused Sue and the two girls much suffering. He said, “Let me handle this.”
Sue looked at him and nodded.
She would not be so bothered by Bailey’s antics if it were any other day, but it was Kari and Teri’s birthday party, and Bailey had
said such filth in front of the other children.
Jason took her hand, and they walked down the last step of the flight of stairs. Bailey was livid when she saw that.
“I see that you have the guts to come downstairs, Sue Carter!” Bailey wanted to pry their hands apart.
Sue was angry when she heard those words. The house was hers, and she could go wherever she wanted. It did not belong to
that woman!
She wanted to step forward, but Jason tried to comfort her. “Sue, you should bring the children upstairs.”
“No,” Sue said insistently. She could guess that Jason would send that woman away, and that would be the end of it. The woman
would not have learned her lesson.
She wanted to stay there to see what Jason would do.
Luca thought for a while and understood what Jason and Sue were thinking. She turned and spoke softly to the children, “Hey,
children, why don’t we go upstairs? Mr. and Mrs. Doyle have prepared a lot of delicious food and fun games for all of you.”
The children were convinced by what Luca said. The girl in her arms was the first to reply, “Alright, Ma’am.”
Luca put the girl on the floor, and the children excitedly ran up the stairs.
Now that the children were gone, the adults could talk.
Jason shot a grateful glance at Luca. Then, he said impatiently to Bailey, “What do you want?”
“What’s the meaning of this, Jason Doyle? Don’t you know that you belong to me?” Bailey felt hurt. She had wanted to win his
heart again, but he had always rejected her.
“Let me tell you for the last time: we’ve already divorced! There’s nothing between us now,” Jason said sternly. She had agreed
to the divorce back then, but now that he was with another woman, she did not stop attacking Sue. It was as though she was
jealous.
The two people had already agreed to part ways. What was the point of all that?
“What do you mean, there’s nothing between us? You’re the father of our son! Half of his genes are from you!” Bailey was not
going to admit that they were unrelated now. She pointed a finger at Sue. “That woman snatched you away from me, yet you’re
still protecting her! Are you blind, Jason Doyle? Haven’t you seen her true colors after all these years?”
Sue was tired of Bailey’s repeated accusations that she was the one who broke up Jason’s marriage.
At first, she had suspected that it was the case. She had even thought of leaving the city with the girls.
Later, Jason showed her concrete evidence that he and Bailey had divorced even before he met Sue. He was single for some
time before making out with her.
Sue was relieved to find out that she had not destroyed a marriage...
Jason stole a glance at Sue. Her expression was still normal.
He took Sue’s wrist and pulled her into his arms. “No one snatched me away from you. It’s my daughters’ birthday party today,
and you’re not welcome. Please leave.”
Jason was on the verge of losing his temper, but he tried to hold it back and asked her to leave.
Bailey was livid when she heard him talk about his daughters. “What about our son then? Have you shown any concern to him?”
Jason was growing impatient toward her accusations.
She had always thought that he had neglected their son. However, the truth was that Jason had frequently visited their son in the
hospital, but only when she was not around because he did not want to meet her.
He had to deal with many troublesome tasks in his work, but none of that compared to the trouble that Bailey brought him.
“I’m taking care of our son every day while you’re here hosting a birthday party for your so-called daughters! You’re an animal,
Jason. I’ve done so much for you, but you won’t even look me in the eye. You’re deliberately taking revenge on me, aren’t you?”
Luca listened to Bailey’s complaints without saying a word. She did not know what happened between them over the past three
years, but Jason did not seem as cruel as Bailey said he was.
“If you don’t want to take care of Shane anymore, you can relinquish his custody to me, but if you’re not going to leave now, I’m
calling the police,” Jason warned her.
Bailey had accused him of being heartless so many times that he was tired of listening to it.
“How dare you!” Bailey roared. “If you dare to call the police, Jason Doyle, I’ll make sure that you and that b*tch will appear in the
headlines tomorrow!”
She had tried to get Sue in the tabloids before, and she had even written defamatory articles about Sue in the local forums using
an anonymous username.
Putting both of them in the papers was something she had never done before.
“Do whatever you want,” Jason said as he pulled out his phone. Sue did not stop him this time.
Bailey was beyond reason. The two had tolerated her, but she did not appreciate it.
Bailey was furious when she heard Jason talking to the police on the phone.
She pointed a trembling finger at the two people but could not say anything. When Jason was about to give his house address to
the police, she roared angrily, “Just you wait, the two of you. This isn’t the end of it.”
Then, she turned around and left.
She decided to leave herself instead of getting driven away by the police. She would get her revenge one day, and the two
people will appear in the tabloids tomorrow.
Sue was still angry even after Bailey left.
Jason’s decision to call the police made his stand clear, but she was unhappy that Bailey had come to ruin her daughters’
birthday party.
After Jason ended the phone call with the police, Sue let go of him and said, “It’s about time. I’ll get the children to come down.”
Jason could tell that she was unhappy. When he tried to explain himself, Sue shook her head and went up the stairs.
