Chapter 2 Mona Middleton

• Tyler's heart constricted painfully.
• The last glimmer of hope he held onto vanished completely.
• "Clarissa, are you really going to strip me of all dignity?"
• Clarissa remained silent, offering no response.
• Willa took over with a sneer. "This decision wasn't just made by the two of us. It was the result of a unanimous vote by the entire Preston family. If you feel wronged, I can only say that's unfortunate."
• "Hah."
• Tyler let out a cold, bitter laugh.
• "I don't care about any of the money or assets.
• "But the ruby bracelet I gave you back then, you have to return it.
• "That bracelet is the Glisson family heirloom for future daughters-in-law.
• "You no longer deserve to wear it."
• Clarissa was stunned.
• At this moment, Tyler felt as though his heart had turned to stone.
• "It's just a worthless bracelet, who cares."
• With sharp eyes, Willa quickly yanked the bracelet off Clarissa's wrist.
• She then disdainfully tossed it at Tyler.
• "Take it and get out!"
• Tyler said nothing more.
• With a grim expression, he turned and walked out the door.
• But just as he was about to leave, Tyler suddenly stopped.
• He coldly asked, "How long have you and Elbert Barton been together?"
• Clarissa's body stiffened abruptly.
• Tyler asked again, "In the past three years, you've secretly had three abortions, and they weren't even from the same man, right?
• "Originally, I kept comforting myself, giving you chances again and again. But now, I suddenly understand completely. A woman like you doesn't deserve it!"
• Hearing this, Clarissa flew into a rage.
• "Tyler, you investigated me? What do you mean?!"
• But Tyler just stared at her indifferently.
• "Now I completely agree to leave with nothing.
• "Because anything related to you ...
• "I find it disgusting!"
• Bang!
• With a loud bang, Tyler slammed the door and stormed out.
• His heart was filled with rage and humiliation he had nowhere to release.
• But just as he reached the roadside, a Rolls-Royce Phantom screeched to a halt, blocking his path.
• The door swung open, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful woman, her demeanor as cold as an ice queen.
• Her figure was a masterpiece— a generous bust, a slender waist, and long, shapely legs.
• She was a vision that could stop hearts.
• Yet, the icy aura she exuded made the surrounding air feel several degrees colder.
• But at this moment, this usually icy woman's face was etched with anxiety and helplessness.
• The sight of Tyler only intensified her panic.
• She blurted out, "Dr. Glisson, I finally found you!
• "Please, I beg you, save my grandmother!
• "As long as you're willing to help ...
• "Uh ... as long as you can wake her up ...
• "I'll marry you!!"
• "Are you from the Middleton family?"
• The woman nodded softly.
• "Yes, I am Mona Middleton. I humbly request Dr. Glisson's miraculous hands to save my grandmother."
• Tyler nodded inwardly.
• She was as expected of a lady from a prestigious family.
• Though her demeanor was cold, her upbringing was impeccable.
• A few days ago, the Middleton family had sent someone to seek out Tyler, requesting his help with an illness.
• They even offered him a rare medicinal herb he'd been searching for years, the Silverfin Herb as a gift with no strings attached.
• Their attitude and sincerity were undeniable.
• And now, the crown jewel of the Middleton family, Mona, had personally come to ask for his help.
• Tyler had no reason to refuse.
• But just as Tyler was about to get into the car, Clarissa's furious voice cut through the air.
• "Tyler, you're nothing but a sc*mbag!
• "You just divorced me, and now you're with another woman?
• "Even a dog would be more loyal than you!
• "Do you even deserve to be called a man?"
• Tyler's eyes instantly turned cold.
• "Clarissa, don't use your filthy mind to judge me. Not everyone is as shameless as you!"
• "Tyler, who are you calling shameless?"
• At that moment, Willa also came out, and in her fury, she raised her hand to slap Tyler across the face.
• Smack!
• Her wrist was firmly caught by a bodyguard.
• Mona stepped forward, like a queen, towering over Clarissa.
• "Clarissa Preston, is it?
• "You're the most foolish woman I've ever met, bar none.
• "If you delay Mr. Glisson from saving a life, I'll kill you!"
• "I ... I ... "
• Even someone as sharp-tongued as Willa found herself at a loss for words in the face of Mona's overwhelming aura, her throat dry and words tumbling.
• As for Clarissa, who was even more fragile, she stood pale and speechless before this powerful woman who utterly dominated her.
• At that moment, they finally understood what it meant to be truly above others.
• What it meant to be as cold as ice.
• What it meant to command a room with a mere glance.
• It wasn't until Tyler and Mona had driven away, disappearing down the road, that they finally snapped out of their fearful daze.
• However, they were still shaken and uneasy.
• "Mom, who was that woman?"
• Clarissa's voice trembled slightly. "Her presence was so overwhelming."
• Willa froze, and then her face paled.
• "I remember now. She's the eldest daughter of the Middleton family, one of the four great families.
• "She's also the actual head of the Middleton Group, worth over a billion at just 23 years old."
• Clarissa was dumbfounded before finally shouting in surprise.
• "What?!"
