Became A Queen After divorce

If you were even slightly useful, he wouldn’t have to look for other women to bear his children.

I heard that the home wrecker also gave birth to a son, who is now five years old.

To her husband, she was an aging and unattractive wife, dispensable.

Similarly… if the son didn’t work hard, the old man might turn his attention to raising the younger son.

“Alright, if you’re not feeling well, go back to your room and rest.”

“Yes, good night, Mommy.”

Meanwhile, in the Gilliam Mansion, Declan had just questioned Libby about exposing their whereabouts on the train last night. Libby explained that her subordinates acted on their own.

Such an excuse was not acceptable to Declan. Without hesitation, he slapped Libby.

“If your subordinates don’t listen, replace them! Ultimately, it’s your inability to manage them. You deserve punishment!”

He didn’t hold back at all, and Libby’s face quickly swelled up.

She lowered her head, her thick eyelashes hiding the ambition and resentment in her eyes. She forced out a word through gritted teeth.

“Yes.”

“What about the child? Did you catch him?”

Libby shook her head again.

“No, the child ran away, but he shouldn’t have gotten far. I’ve already sent people to search around the train station.”

Great, another piece of bad news!

Another slap landed on the other side of Libby’s face.

Now her beautiful face was swollen, looking more symmetrical than before.

Declan’s cold and cruel gaze fixed on her like a venomous snake.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Causing such a commotion and still failing to catch a child, you’re nothing but a useless failure!”

The word “failure” deeply stung Libby’s heart.

If she was a failure, what did that make Pearl, who only knew how to eat, drink, and play?

A failure among failures?

But until she gained full control of the Gilliam family, Libby chose to endure, even though her nails were digging into her palms.

“Father, don’t be angry. I will definitely find that child!”

“Hmph! If you can’t handle such a small matter, I’ll revoke your rights in the Gilliam family!”

Revoke her rights? That was unacceptable!

She had put in so much effort for this family, for the Gilliam family. How much blood had she shed to gain her current rights? And now he wanted to take them back?

Was he already planning to pave the way for his useless daughter?

Unfortunately for him, Libby was born with pride and would never be content to be someone else’s stepping stone.

“Father, rest assured. I will bring the person back.”

“Alright, you can leave now. And handle the news as quickly as possible. I don’t care what methods you use!”

“Yes!” Libby respectfully exited the study.

As she closed the door, her face turned murderous, as terrifying as a demon from hell.

“You let your daughter release the hostage and now push all the mess onto me. Ha… your favoritism knows no bounds! But that’s fine. Soon…”

She would make Declan taste true pain!

Thinking of Pearl being tormented by disgusting men at Hotspring Resort made her feel inexplicably pleased.

She glanced at her watch; it was already past one in the morning. The timing seemed about right.

Libby found a secluded spot and called Camilla to check on the progress.

The phone rang for a long time without being answered, causing her to frown.

“Could something have gone wrong?”

Impossible. Hotspring Resort was her territory, and Gold was trustworthy.

She had seen Lord Parker take the woman named Ruth inside on the surveillance video. With such a perfect trap, Pearl couldn’t have escaped.

“Never mind, maybe she’s busy with business. I’ll wait a bit longer.”

By the next morning at the latest, the news would surely spread like wildfire.

Feeling pleased, Libby returned to her room to sleep. When she woke up the next day, the slap marks on her face had faded significantly. However, the humiliation in her heart would be hard to erase for a lifetime.

She specifically asked the butler for a newspaper, toasted some bread herself, and warmed up some milk before sitting at the dining table.

She prepared to read it carefully. But when she opened the newspaper, its contents left Libby dumbfounded.

“How could this be? Where’s Pearl…”

The trap was originally set for Pearl, but Camilla ended up falling into it. Thinking she might be seeing things, Libby picked up another newspaper to check.

The headlines were different, but the content was similar.

“What happened? Where’s Pearl? Why is Camilla in these photos?”

Perhaps too shocked, she accidentally dropped her cup.

The crisp sound seemed to foretell something bad was about to happen.

Sure enough, in the next second, someone who shouldn’t have appeared was thrown at her feet, covered in blood. The blood splattered onto her white nightgown.

Libby looked down in surprise and saw that the person lying on the ground barely alive was Camilla.

She still had a breath left and weakly opened her eyes.

Seeing Libby, she seemed to see a savior and reached out with her bloody hand to grab Libby’s skirt.

“Miss Libby, save… save me. I don’t want to die.”

Her revenge was not yet complete!

She hadn’t seen the person she wanted to see yet.

The moment Camilla appeared, Libby knew things had gone wrong.

Declan must have started suspecting her. In this case, it was better to kill her!

Without any hesitation, Libby grabbed a fruit plate from the table and smashed it down on Camilla’s head without blinking an eye.

The fruit plate broke into two halves.

Camilla looked at her in disbelief, eyes wide open. She then felt warm blood slowly trickling down from her forehead.

“You!”

Libby clapped her hands cleanly and stood up from her chair.

She explained to the man standing at the door: “Father, a woman like her who dares cheat on you doesn’t deserve you. Killing her is just eliminating future troubles!”

Declan never glanced at Camilla, not even once. Even though she had been his favorite woman recently.

“Dead is dead. Drag her out and feed her to the wild dogs!”

He spoke lightly as if asking if she had eaten breakfast yet.

“Yes.”

Libby couldn’t help but feel sorry for Camilla; Declan didn’t care about her death at all.

Just as she was about to drag Camilla away, Declan’s low voice sounded again in her ear. With a hint of amusement and probing: “Libby, why do you think she went to Hotspring Resort?”

Everyone knew Hotspring Resort was under Libby’s jurisdiction!

‘Is Father asking because he found some evidence? No, I must stay calm! He’s good at reading people; I mustn’t let him trick me into revealing anything.’
