“Then, what are you worried about?”
After her question, realization reached Wanda as she asked, “Kay, aren’t you going to change your mind about the divorce?”
Mikayla answered with an apology.
“I’m sorry, Grandma. I didn’t realize that Uncle Stephen and Aunt Matilda would fuss about it with you. I apologize for making you worry.”
Wanda sighed.
“I’m not bothered at all. In fact, I really hope that things are like what they said that you’ll never file a divorce with Jerome.”
The silence between them stretched on.
Mikayla couldn’t promise Wanda, and Wanda clearly knew what her silence meant.
“Kay, you promised me you weren’t going to bring up the divorce, yet you still obtained the divorce agreement. Did Jerome upset you?”
Wanda continued, “I’ve been waiting for you to come to me, but you haven’t even given me a call.”
Back then, Mikayla wouldn’t hesitate to complain to Wanda.
Thinking about it, she might’ve caused Wanda a lot of issues.
She replied apologetically, “Grandma, this has nothing to do with Jerome. I forced him to sign it first. I heard that you scolded him, but in fact, I should be the one who deserved the scolding.”
A chuckle escaped Wanda’s lips.
“Look at you, Kay. You still care about Jerome. Be honest with me. Did you insist on him signing the agreement because of what Kylie did at the party?”
Though Wanda rarely used the internet, she was still well informed.
Someone must’ve seen what happened and told her about the incident.

Just as Mikayla was about to speak, Wanda added, “That woman is merely
acquainted with Jerome. Aside from coming around often when she was a child, she has nothing to do with him. Should I talk to her and kick her out of the company instead?”
“No, Grandma!” Mikayla blurted. “It was an accident at the party, and I don’t see anything wrong with Jerome’s actions. Those news stories are just making things up to attract attention. Please don’t go to Kylie.”
In Mikayla’s previous life, Wanda sought Kylie out for her sake.
Kylie resigned upon Wanda’s will, but Jerome wasn’t that daft.
It didn’t take long for him to find out that Mikayla worked with Wanda to coerce Kylie into resigning.
Her scheme resulted in Jerome dismissing Kylie’s resignation, and he even proposed to let her join the board of directors at Miller Group.
Once Kylie was part of the board of directors, it was a daunting task to make her leave.
When Wanda learned about this, she summoned Jerome back to the Miller Manor.
She pressured him into rescinding his decision and fired Kylie.
He flatly refused, saying that Kylie was competent enough to join the board of directors.
His denial spiked a surge of anger in Wanda, even causing her to fall sick for days.
Mikayla refused to let this happen again.
“Grandma, it’s my decision to file a divorce, and it’s a problem between us. This has nothing to do with Kylie, so there’s no need to go looking for her.”
“Mikayla, since when have you become this tolerant?” Wanda seemed displeased. ” Kylie clearly looks like she has something up her sleeve. Don’t you want me to teach her an unforgettable lesson?”
Mikayla yearned for it.
Indeed, Wanda was perceptive enough to tell that Kylie harbored ill intentions.

But Jerome was too ignorant to see it.
However, Wanda’s insults wouldn’t really faze Kylie.
Instead, she’d seized the opportunity to make herself appear as pitiable as she could manage.
Mikayla despised the idea of giving her the chance to do so.
“Grandma, it’s not because I’ve become tolerant. Teaching Kylie a lesson can’t change anything. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Wanda dreaded Jerome’s fate as she sensed how composed Mikayla was.
She remembered how Mikayla used to be so overtly anxious about anything that had to do with Jerome.
She’d take the initiative to ask for her advice, yet things had changed now.
Mikayla adamantly refused her help when her help was offered to her.
Wanda was aware that Mikayla would actually leave Jerome if he remained this
dense.
She was determined to make them spend more time alone as a couple.
