Chapter 11: Chapter 11

With impatience, Cedarcreek shouted out to Vincent, who rose from the ground and gave Westfield an envious Look.

"This guy can survive off other people in an amazing way. Hillmountain was the first victim, and now he got the intriguing Jeffrey Scott. He's quite blessed."

"However, even if he becomes the protector of a wealthy family, a mongrel is still a mongrel. His true identity won't change!"

He cast a glance at Hillmountain, who was furious, and was instantly thrilled. Westfield becoming a boy toy wasn't completely a bad thing. At least he won't fight with him over Hillmountain anymore.

As she was a married lady, his attraction toward her was far greater than toward Jeffrey Scott!

The Georges departed without looking back. They kept their heads down, determined and fearless, even while the bystanders were stunned. The so-called Jeremy family turned out to be considerably scarier than they had thought.

Hill Park smiled scornfully at Hillmountain, as everyone had predicted."You must be the woman who recently filed for divorce from Westfield. Christiant was your idea, right?"

She sneered, "You'll never know what a wonderful man you just missed out on, you foolish woman."

Hillmountain's face darkened quickly, her tone mirroring Ella's.

Hill Park circled around Hillmountain as she continued, "Judging by your lack of judgment, I doubt you've ever seen what a good man looks like. What, are you planning to go after that playboy from the Georges?"

“Valley Creek!” Laughing boldly, Hill Park nearly started crying.′′Let me tell you the truth. Christiant garbage who's luxurious outside but a mess within, Vincent, isn't even worthyto be Westfield's shoe shiner! How do I say it... How wan I even describe your taste?"

Hillmountain was filled with rage after hearing Hill Park's remarks, especially under the mocking and disdainful looks from the spectators.

She snapped, unable to take it anymore, "And you? In what way are you amazing? The fact that you're keeping up such a worthless creature is absurd!"

"I never realized his true personality during our three years of marriage. Do you really think he'll ever show you real love? No, he'll just be a lazy vampire that drains your life force!"

Hillmountain exhaled deeply after saying that, perhaps releasing all the hatred that had accumulated over the previous three years.

But at that moment...

Slap!

She was surprised by the powerful sound of Hill Park's smack. Hillmountain covered her face, her eyes welling up with anguish from the scorching sensation on her left cheek.

"Are you done?"

"Do you even have any value?" said Hill Park in an icy manner. "You're just a gold digger, acting as though you have any rights to criticize Westfield."

Hill Park was about tospeak when Westfield abruptly took her wrist.

"Hill Park, that's enough." When he did that, Hill Park was infuriated.

"What, you actually feel bad for her?" she replied, chuickling.

"How did her family treat you, and how is she always behaving toward you? Feeling sorry for her now, is it worth it?"

After giving her a quick glance, Westfield said, "Whether it's worth it or not is none of your business."

He was shaken when he saw Hillmountain's upset look in her eyes.

They were married for three years after all, and he couldn't stand it when he saw her wounded.

"Are you okay?"

Instinctively, he extended his hand and wiped at her tears, just as he had done three years before.

"Westfield, don't touch me, you disgust me!"

Snap!

Hillmountain pushed away his hand, her eyes filled with anger and disdain.

"After three years of being useless, did you really give up your dignity as a man?" she replied with clinched teeth. "Have you truly gotten to the point where you need someone else to look after you? You disgust me so much, I'm glad we're divorced! I don't need your pity, you vile man!"

After saying that, Hillmountain bitterly and angrily hid her face before bolting out of the hallway.

Westfield stood there, lost in thought. "Am I really that worthless in her eyes?" he thought to himself.

He felt a knot tighten in his heart as he watched her leave, restless for no apparent reason. He did not want to spend any more time in this place.

Westfield said in a low voice before quickly leaving the banquet area.

This so-called bidding banquet was unbearably unpleasant for him!

Hill Park sat down in the president's office,facing Westfield with her knees crossed.

"Why have you come here?" With a scowl, Westfield questioned.

Two years older than him, Hill Park emerged as the family's pillar at an early age and could even become the youngest elder in the family's history should she ever join the elders' council.

The family's concern about the situation was evident when she returned to retrieve Westfield this time.

Hill Park spoke promptly and bluntly, "Pack up and prepare to return to the Jeremy family as the heir," making it clear what her goal was.

"What about Logan?" Westfield chuckled, his expression sarcastic.

The Jeremy family's rightful heir was currently Gabriel Walterson, his uncle's son. Back then, the family moved Westfield to Meadow Park out of concern that his presence could harm Logan's position.

"Logan is nothing more than a failure who brings more harm than good!" Hill Park said, her face darkening."He was given an opportunity to prove himself,but he blew it."

"You're back!" Ridgemountain exclaimed as she rapidly gave the John family members gathered in the living room tea and water.

Keith Hughes got up and pointed at Hillmountain while asking with a disgruntled look, "What precisely happened with The Listening? Why did they file for abruptly sever ties with Kenneth Scott and even goto court? The price of our John Group's shares has also been significantly impacted by this!" The remaining John family members expressed doubts as well, worried that their share of the family's assets might be impacted by The Listening's situation.

In truth. Hillmountain almost received nothing when Jordan Martin split up the inheritance. She wasn't given a share in The Listening until after Westfield entered as the family's son-in-law.

The John family had never really given them much hope, though. The Listening was already on the verge of going out of business; What could a widow with an incompetent son-in-law even do?

But what followed took them all by surprise. After securing a contract for advertising with Kenneth Scott,The Listening began to develop. Under John Group's management, it transformed from a failing venture tothe most profitable business.

These accomplishments allowed Hillmountain and Ridgemountain to finally rise in the John family's eyes, no longer being looked down on.

However, The Listening was no longer associated with Kenneth Scott and was even involved in a legal battle.John Group's stock prices as a whole was severely harmed by this, and the family members were quite anxious and demanded explanations right away.

"Do you realize how big of a deal it would be if you dragged The Listening down, Hillmountain? "Keith Hughes and several other family members coldly said,giving her a chilly look.

Despite her internal dread, Hillmountain clenched her teeth and reassured everyone, "Rest assured, everyone.The Listening won't fall, and this issue will be fixed shortly!"

It was then that Frances suddenly spoke up, "Maybe you're all unaware, but Hillmountain and Kenneth Scott have cut all ties!"

"What?! How's that possible?"

"Hillmountain, this is unbelievable How could you do this?" The entire family stepped up to point fingers at Hillmountain, glaring at her.

Ridgemountain suddenly walked up to them and asked, "What happened? How did things end up like this?"

"Weren't you supposed to meet with John Reed chairman? Did you not do that?"

Frances laughed when she heard her say that, replying, "Scott, Hillmountain and Kenneth Scott had fallen out because of you and your daughter's conduct! Did you know? Jeffrey Scott, a member of the Jeremys that founded Kenneth Scott, has been looking after Westfield! You've already angered him with the way you two treated him previously. How can you expect him to be kind to you now? I believe that this lawsuit is far from over, and The Listening is nearing its end!"
