The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1144:

A dancer relied heavily on her feet, and Kira had been merciless.

The more Laney thought about it, the more her anger grew. She muttered under her breath, “I can’t walk on it. I’ll have to hop instead.”

Kailyn suggested, “Let me carry you to the infirmary.”

“There’s no need. I’ll try hopping.” Laney added as she hopped, “It seems to work.”

As Laney hopped near Kira, she suddenly released Kailyn’s hand, jumped, and stomped forcefully on Kira’s foot. Her stomp was heavy with all her pent-up frustration and vengeance.

Kira let out a scream of agony, losing her usual poise and swearing at Laney.

Laney put on a look of shock. “Oh, I’m sorry, Kira. Did that hurt you? My bad. I’m still getting used to hopping on one leg and accidentally stepping on you.”

Frustrated, Kira brought the incident to the director, crying and demanding an apology from Laney.

Laney refused to apologize, insisting she had done nothing wrong. The director had no choice but to summon both families to resolve the issue.

Madison and her husband were still on their trip, and Gerry hadn’t left any contact information. The director ended up calling Cliff.

Cliff had never visited the theater before. Laney knew he disliked gossip, so she had never mentioned that she resided in the Hopkins family villa. Everyone only knew that her late mother had been close to Madison.

After the director ended the call, Laney asked, “Is Cliff on his way?”

The director exhaled. “Yes.”

Despite the situation, a smile appeared on Laney’s face at the prospect of meeting Cliff.

“A smile at this point? Really?” The director spoke sharply, his voice low but stern. “Laney, the Foster family is not to be trifled with. Mr. Hopkins sounded livid on the line when he heard about the incident. I bet you’re in for a scolding.”

Laney shrugged, not concerned about the potential scolding since Cliff wasn’t gentle with her even when she made no mistake. Anyway, if this incident meant she would finally meet him after not seeing him for the past few days, it was worth it.

Kira’s parents were the first to arrive. Kira was their beloved youngest child, the light of their lives. Seeing her in tears was unbearable for them. Makayla Foster, Kira’s mother, immediately confronted Laney. Laney believed she had done nothing wrong and refused to acknowledge Makayla’s stare.

Makayla, furious at Laney’s undisturbed expression, slammed her hand on the table. “Is this the right manner to treat your elder?” The tension in the room grew. The director positioned himself in the center, attempting to calm the situation.noveldrama

Makayla scoffed at Laney. “Who do you think you are? How dare you mistreat my daughter? Do you think you’re above everyone just because your mother was Madison’s sister? You’re only here because your aunt married into money. Your mother has passed away. How long do you plan to live off her name?”

The director tried to ease the tension. “Accidents happen during their rehearsal. It seems Kira was the first to cause trouble.”
