Chapter 154
Upon hearing Louisa’s words, Mikayla simply laughed.
“Do you think I’m plotting something? Can Grandpa possibly mistreat me? Besides, if I really wanted to plot something, would it matter whether you were in the country or not? Do you understand business, or do you have any say in Minito Group?”
“You!” Louisa’s face turned from being choked. “I heard from Jensen that you had a private conversation with him. Do you have any feelings for him?”
Though she only mentioned Jensen casually, Louisa did see the chat history between them.
She thought about the incident at the parking lot that day.
Jensen invited them to have fun together.
Despite the rift between them, Mikayla unexpectedly agreed and even paid with her black card.
Mikayla was even there at Jensen’s dojo.
All these incidents raised Louisa’s suspicion.
“Are you hearing yourself?” Mikayla said sarcastically, “Use your brain. Don’t believe everything others say. Jensen is nothing compared to Jerome. Why do I even want to
speak with him privately?”
With that, Mikayla handed her phone to Louisa,
“Take a good look at what I talked about with him.”
Louisa glanced at the screen and found that several contacts were initiated by Jensen
himself.
Although the conversation seemed normal and polite, it’s obvious why he was trying to strike up a conversation with her.
He thought Mikayla was wealthier and easier to please than Louisa.
Louisa was still not convinced.
*Jerome doesn’t like you either. You’ve been pursuing after him all this while. Yet he didn’t even acknowledge you at the Miller’s party and left with another woman! So, you thought- of provoking him with another man.”

Mikayla found it ridiculous.
“I wouldn’t resort to something so stupid even if we’re divorcing. Plus, if you think you’re capable enough, you can try becoming his wife. Why don’t you talk to your parents, tell them you want to marry Jerome, and ask them to support my divorce?”
Louisa did like Jerome, but it was just plain admiration.
Jerome was handsome and wealthy.
He was the perfect lover.
She was happy to get close to him, but she never thought of replacing Mikayla.
She actually admired Mikayla’s perseverance in pursuing after someone like Jerome, despite his cold demeanor.
It would take a lot of courage and determination to get married to someone like him.
Louisa was certain that she wasn’t as capable as Mikayla.
“I wouldn’t want someone you don’t want!‘ Louisa put away her makeup and prepared to leave.
“Louisa, if you want something, fight for it yourself. If things don’t work out with Aunt Matilda, you can try Uncle Stephen and Grandpa. Wouldn’t your chances of success be higher if they support you? Mikayla casually remarked while looking into the mirror.
Louisa hesitated for a moment before walking outside.
“Jerome…”
Just as she came out, she saw Jerome.
She wanted to talk to him like before, but thinking that he might’ve heard their conversation just now, she hurriedly ran away.
Inside the restroom, Mikayla Heard Louisa’s call too.
She walked out and saw Jerome standing by the door.
She didn’t know whether he was waiting for her on purpose, or he was just passing by.
There was no expression on his face, and his eyes revealed no emotion.
“Do you need something from me?” Mikayla asked.

“Was the money in the card yesterday from the pair of earrings you sold?” Jerome asked.
So this was what he was asking about.
She thought he really didn’t care.
She wondered how he would feel when she took the things he bought and exchanged
them for money.
Mikayla smiled at him and said, “That’s right. Are you surprised?”
