A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Chapter 181

Chapter 181

Felicia ignored Cynthia’s teasing tone and stared at the title deed, her expression tense and grim as she thought, “This house is the only valuable thing in the Larson family’s possession, and now this little hatch has snatched it from me!‘

She couldn’t accept this outcome. Despite being married to Mason for years and enjoying the privileges of a wealthy lifestyle, Mason’s lack of business acumen had led to the company’s decline, causing her living standards to drop in recent years. Now, with Mason hemiplegic, the prospect of a good future seemed impossible, and even the house was being taken away.

Felicia was furious but didn’t dare to do anything as she glared at Liam, who stood protectively in front of Cynthia After putting away the title deed, Cynthia emptied Felicia’s bag onto the table, spilling our dazzling jewelry worth over 300 thousand dollars. Casually holding a piece of emerald, she remarked, “All of this combined should be enough to cover Mason’s medical expenses”

“No! You can’t use them, Felicia objected immediately. She had saved up all this jewelry for herself and Roseanne over the years. Despite being with James lately, he was a gangster, and she kept the jewelry as a safety net in case things went wrong and she needed to escape trouble.

Cynthia tossed the emerald onto the table with a thud. “Do you really think Ed let you take these to your lover? Mason may have bought them for you, but without Larson Group, he wouldn’t have been able to afford them. I’m not stopping you from leaving, but you can’t take what was bought with the company’s money

As she spoke, she paused and pointed at Felicia and Roseanne’s clothes. “Including the clothes you’re wearing.

“Cynthia, you’re going too far,” Roseanne interjected, unable to tolerate Cynthia’s arrogance, which made her feel inferior.

Cynthia glanced at her coldly. “What is your pride hurt! You can’t blame me for that. After all, you have a mother who relies solely on her looks to seduce men. As far as I know, neither of you has worked all these years, living off my mother’s company. I bet you haven’t even earned enough to buy your own underwear.

Felicia and Roseanne were furious, wishing they could beat Cynthia up. Felicia spat out, “Cynthia, all of this is my private property. Even if I divorce Mason, these won’t be part of the property distribution. You have no right to stop me from taking them.”

Cynthia suddenly laughed sarcastically. “It seems you still don’t understand. I don’t care what happens between you and Mason; I wouldn’t even object if you sold his organs. I’m here to settle the accounts between you and my mother. You squandered the assets she left behind and abused me. It’s time to pay back the debts you’ve owed over the years”

Cynthia’s determined look and commanding presence intimidated Felicia, leaving her speechless. The atmosphere in the living room grew tense. Realizing she wouldn’t be able to take her belongings. Felicia reluctantly compromised. “Fine, I’ll use half of the jewelry to cover Mason’s medical expenses

With that, Felicia picked up her bag, ready to put half of the jewelry in it. Cynthia watched her greedy face and sneered inwardly, Just as Felicia reached for the jewelry, Cynthia kicked the comer of the table hard. The table shifted abruptly, causing some of the jewelry to clatter to the floor. “Did I say you could take them?” Cynthia’s voice was icy, stopping Felicia in her tracks.

Felicia’s face darkened when she failed to grab anything. She clenched her hands into fists and said through gritted teeth, “You’ve gone

gone too far”

Cynthia refined, “So what if I have? What can you do about it? I’m not like certain people who want to act like a bitch while pretending to be kind, working hard to keep up appearances every day

Felicia trembled in anger, thinking. This woman’s deliberately humiliating me But I won’t have to worry about money in the future as long as I stay with James. I’ll get these things back eventually, so I won’t have to stay here and endure humiliation.”

“Let’s wait and see” With that, she led Roseanne toward the door.

Cynthia stopped them. “Hold it right there. Didn’t you hear me? I said you can’t take anything out of here, including the clothes you’re wearing

Felicia glared at her hatefully. “Since you want them so bad, try taking them off yourself. She figured that with no one else around, Cynthia and Liarn couldn’t possibly strip her and Roseanne of their clothes. Confident that Liam wouldn’t go that far despite his imposing demeanor, Felicia continued walking toward the door, unafraid

Cynthia remained calin as she walked to the door and summoned all the servants from the yard. More than ten servants q entrance, forming a barrier and blocking Felicia and Roseanne’s path.

“Get out of the way,” Felicia ordered

The servants hesitated but didn’t budge as they all looked at Cynthia.

quickly gathered at the

Cynthia poured water for herself and Liam before speaking slowly. “You all should have guessed what’s happening to the Larson family. Mason is bedridden in the hospital, and Felicia plans to run away, leaving you all behind. Have your salaries been selled”

Upon hearing it, the servants began to get agitated, realizing why Felicia and Roseanne had started packing after returning here but didn’t let them help.

Chapter 191

“Mrs. Larson, please pay our salaries before leaving” They gathered around Felicia.

Felicia glared at Cynthia, frantically contemplating an escape plan. As the servants drew closer, she covered her nose in disgust, as if smelling something foul. “Stay away from me. I don’t have any money on me now. Go find Mason instead.”

“Mr. Larson is in the hospital, so how can he pay us? Only you can pay us now, or we won’t let you two leave,” one of the servants retorted. They formed an impenetrable circle, tightly surrounding Felicia and Roseanne, preventing any chance of escape.

There was nothing Felicia could do despite feeling disgusted. She frowned. “Cynthia is the owner of this house now. You can ask her to

pay.

The servants glanced at Cynthia but ultimately demanded Felicia pay, too embarrassed to go after Cynthia. They knew who they had been serving over the years. Although Cynthia was the second daughter of the Larson family, she had left home when she was young and didn’t return until she was an adult. Felicia and Roseanne had privately instructed the servants not to care for her too much, forcing Cynthia to fend for herself.

Felicia’s anger flared when the servants refused to budge. Coupled with the humiliation she suffered from Cynthia, she could no longer contain herself and lashed out, slapping one of the servants before her. “I told you to get out of the way!”

The loud slap echoed through the living room, causing all the servants to freeze in shock
