Could Sumr Monroe be the soul of Luna Monroe sent to seek revenge?
At the thought of Luna Monroe’s last words before she died, "Even in death, I’ll beco a vengeful spirit to haunt you," Henry Stanton felt goosebumps all over his body.
After a while, Henry Stanton’s gaze suddenly beca determined.
No way!
He must evict Sumr Monroe!
Even though Sumr Monroe is a cash cow, if she is also a death knell, he truly cannot keep her!
Fearing that he might be the next one to befall misfortune, he no longer waited at the ICU for the old lady but drove straight back to Stanton Manor.
By now, the night had completely fallen.
Stella Monroe was about to wash up and rest when the door suddenly swung open.
Stella Monroe was startled by the sudden noise. She looked up and, seeing it was Henry Stanton, felt slightly relieved.
But upon seeing Henry Stanton’s dark expression, Stella Monroe’s heart started to race again.
Guiltless of any wrongdoing, she was not afraid of ghosts knocking at her door, but given that she was faking a pregnancy, seeing Henry Stanton’s grim face naturally made her anxious.
"H-Henry, what’s wrong with you?" Stella Monroe sat up from the bed, nervously straightening her spine.
Henry Stanton spoke in a low voice, "Change your clothes. I have an announcent to make."
"...Alright." Stella Monroe didn’t dare to delay, shakily taking off her newly put-on pajamas to follow Henry Stanton out.
Just as they left the room, Henry Stanton spoke again: "Go fetch Sumr Monroe; what I have to announce concerns her."
Upon hearing it involved Sumr Monroe, Stella Monroe’s tense heart slightly eased. Though curious, she didn’t ask much and went directly to find Sumr Monroe.
Sumr Monroe was still awake and quickly followed Stella Monroe downstairs.
She looked puzzled but had a vague uneasy premonition in her heart.
Once downstairs, Sumr Monroe saw Henry Stanton standing with a stern face in the center of the brightly lit living room, with all the manor’s servants gathered in two rows.
Sumr Monroe was more suspicious and couldn’t help but wonder: Could it be that the old lady is not doing well?
While she was guessing, she felt Henry Stanton’s cold gaze sweep over and settle on her.
"Sumr Monroe," Henry Stanton started.
Sumr Monroe’s uneasy sixth sense kicked in again; Henry Stanton rarely called her Sumr Monroe anymore, usually calling her Sadie.
But Sumr Monroe didn’t show anything, and with a gentle smile, she asked, "Dad, what’s going on in the middle of the night? Is Grandma feeling better?"
Henry Stanton’s face was expressionless as he said indifferently, "Your grandmother is fine, she just needs surgery tomorrow. I’ve gathered everyone today to announce sothing."
Sumr Monroe appeared to listen intently, while Stella Monroe beside her was extrely curious.
Henry Stanton spoke, "Sumr Monroe, I will give you a house, but from now on, you are no longer part of the Stanton family. The household registration will be handled by my assistant tomorrow, and once that house is ready, you will move out. After that, you’re on your own."
Sumr Monroe looked up in shock.
"Dad?"
"I’m not your dad anymore," Henry Stanton shook his head and pinned the decision on Old Madam Stanton, saying, "This is your grandmother’s will, I’m also left with no choice. After giving you the house, I will also provide you with so living expenses, sufficient until you graduate from college and find a job."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall fell silent.
Inside, Stella Monroe was inwardly cheering.
Great! So great!
She never thought that without doing anything herself, Sumr Monroe would be driven out of Stanton Manor.
She couldn’t believe such an unexpectedly wonderful thing actually happened!
