    Chapter <b>864 </b>


    Only Ste reacted, rushing toward Cedric like a mad woman. She grabbed a teacup from the <b>coffee </b>table and threw it, regardless <b>of </b>whether there was tea inside.


    The living room was chaotic<b>, </b>with Ste’s screams and curses incessant. Outsiders <b>would </b>find this current situation hard to believe as the Scott <b>couple </b>was always known for their courteous


    behavior.


    In what seemed like a moment, Henry appeared to age ten years. His face showed visible fatigue and decline as he looked at Landon, his <b>voice </b>filled with weariness. “Forget it. Take me


    back.”


    Landon agreed and quickly escorted Henry away. Henry paused when <b>he </b>passed by Eugene<b>. </b>He was trembling. “Eugene, you leave too. This is their affair. It has nothing to do with <b>you</b><b>.</b>”


    Eugene nodded. His face showed no emotions.


    He helped Henry as they left. He did <b>not </b>even nce back at Ste and Cedric.


    News <b>of </b>the rift between Ste and Cedric quickly reached Mnie. It was Yvonne who <b>told </b><b>her</b>.


    Yvonne sighed. “My mom’s gossip circle is already spreading the news. I heard it got intense. Ste cracked a big hole in Mr. Scott’s head.”


    <b>“</b>I thought with things getting this bad, they’d divorce. However, Ste is adamant about not divorcing. I’m a bit puzzled about what she wants.


    “To have her husband and his lover’s illegitimate child mistreat her and still not divorce, is she putting on an act?”


    Mnie was sorting Meredith’s clothes and was not bothered to <b>lift </b>her head. “It’s probably not that she doesn’t want to divorce but that she can’t.”


    “William is an adult now, which proves that Cedric has had someone outside for a long time. Ste is too intelligent not to have noticed.


    “Considering William’s simr age <b>to </b>Eugene, Ste has put up with Cedric for many years. ording to Ste’s personality, she’ll absolutely refuse to divorce.”


    The reasons behind it were apparent. The Hel family and the Scott family were originally <b>in </b>an


    alliance<b>. </b>Cedric leveraged the Hel family’s influence to help LeapCo rise.


    Moreover<b>, </b><b>the </b>Hel family undoubtedly needed to rely on <b>the </b>benefits brought by the Scott family.


    It could only be said that marriages among the wealthy were always based on interests.


    Yvonne sighed. <b>“</b><b>I </b>understand the reasoning<b>, </b>but the more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel<b>. </b>That’s why I’d rather <b>focus </b>on my career in thepany than engage in arranged marriages.


    She was serious about what she said, mainly because her current potential suitors were all less than ideal. She was annoyed enough just by looking <b>at </b>them<b>. </b>If she had <b>to </b>enter an arranged marriage, she did not think she could be noble enough to handle it..


    The affairs of the Scott family spread like a farce. It was quickly known everywhere.


    However, thanks to Ste’s outburst, Cedric could not find trouble for Mnie temporarily.


    Taking advantage of this time window<b>, </b>Mnie packed up and prepared to leave.


    The tickets to go abroad were already booked. Mnie nned to look at the old house in the next few days.


    Xander had already returned <b>to </b>Nava, and the pressure there was quite high<i>. </i>Mnie could only bring Meredith along.


    Just as she entered the neighborhood gate, she ran into a neighbor, who looked surprised to see her. <b>“</b>Oh, Mnie! When did youe back?”


    Mnie replied, “I just got back.”


    “Young people are always busy, but luckily, you didn’t sell the house. It’s always good to have your roots. <b>If </b>you want to live here again, you can still do so<b>.</b>”


    Mnie hesitated. <b>“</b><b>I </b>probably won’t be able to live here anymore. I’ve rented out the house.”


    “Oh, right.” The neighbor tapped her forehead. “It was rented out? I thought it was your rtive temporarily staying there. After all, he’s not always there. He’s a handsome man with few words. He looks lonely.<b>” </b>
