Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Chapter 84

Molly choked up a bit, then continued, "My uncle said my mom and I didn’t know how to run a company, so he took over, doing everything he could to strip us of our assets, and finally kicked us out of the house." Molly sobbed, "My mom used to have a few houses in her name, but now they’re all gone."

"Didn’t anyone else step in to help?" Rosemary asked softly.

"Grandpa used to run things at home, but after he passed away, my grandma died shortly after too.

The company used to be managed by my dad, but then he left, and everyone started listening to my uncle’s advice."

No one stood up to defend them.

Some older relatives advised them to back off, saying life under the Coopers’ protection would be easy.

But if they fought against the Coopers, things would surely end badly!

"But I just wouldn’t back down. They’re way out of line."

Her uncle bullying them was bad enough, but then even her cousins started bullying them, bothering them even after they moved to a rental place. It was as if messing with them was some sort of fun

game.

"The person dumping trash on the grave today was definitely one of my cousins!"

Molly said angrily, "It was the same last year. She took a couple of bodyguards and kicked out all my dad’s offerings, dumped trash on the grave, and said a lot of disrespectful words. My mom argued with

her, and ended up getting hurt by her bodyguards. It was just horrible."

Molly paused, as if remembering something, "This happened around this time last year, too, Ms.Rose, can I make a call?"

Rosemary, guessing what was coming, looked up, "Of course."

Molly quickly took out her phone, dialed her mom’s number, but no one picked up. She was very nervous, with a bad premonition.

Just then, Dean knocked on the door, "Ms. Rose, there’s a lingerie company that’s doing really well recently. They want us to help with production as their current line can’t meet the demand. Plus, the

price they’re offering is pretty attractive. Their manager wants to meet you at River Bank Cafe in an hour, is that okay?"

Molly tried calling again twice, still no answer. She was getting more anxious, "Ms. Rose, can I take a leave? I want to go see Lantern Mountain."

Her dad’s grave was at the top of Lantern Mountain, River Bank Cafe was actually only a ten–minute drive from there.

"That works out." Rosemary glanced at Dean, "Go get the car ready."

She’d been picked up by Romeo recently and didn’t have her own car, but the company had two spare vehicles.

After they left, someone picked up the design draft on the desk.

On the way, Molly kept dialing her mom’s number, but no one picked up. She was getting more and more anxious.

Finally, they made it to the top of Lantern Mountain. From a distance, Molly saw a group of people surrounding her mother, Iris. And off to the side, soaking it all in, was her cousin Myra.

The girl who was talking was around 17 or 18, wearing an expensive little dress and decked out in accessories that screamed ’money’. Her soft, wavy hair was cascading down her back.

"Myra’ Are you even speaking human right now? Do you remember how good your uncle treated your family when he was alive? Do you not have a shred of gratitude in you? Are you not scared your uncle would be pissed at you in the afterlife?"

Ins was fuming, but she was outnumbered. She knew better than anyone else that she was at a disadvantage.

"Auntie Iris, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. Uncle was grandad’s favorite when he was alive, and back then your family was all over us, but things have changed."

Myra said, and then gave her bodyguard a lazy, arrogant glance. "Joey, what the hell are you daydreaming about? Go take care of my aunt. It might give my uncle some peace, knowing his wife is being looked after. I’m sure he’d appreciate it from the other side."

Joey, the bodyguard, was short and stocky, probably in his forties. His eyes were full of greed.

Ins had always lived a good life. Her face was well–cared for and she carried herself like a lady of high society. Even after they moved to a rental, she still had that sophisticated charm. Her clothes were a bit worn, but her aura was as captivating as ever, making Joey’s heart race.

"Joey might be poor, and he might not match up to your uncle, but he’s a better fit for you now."

Myra watched as Joey approached Iris step by step, a smug smile on her face. "Auntie, enjoy yourself.

Joey’s got the strength to make you feel good."

Iris pointed at the tombstone and said, "If you dare let him touch me today, I’ll kill myself right here! Let’s see how you explain that to the Cooper family!" Myra snorted. "What? Uncle died a long time ago, and you want to keep your chastity for him? Who the hell would care about you two?"

"You shameless bitch!" Molly suddenly rushed forward, raising her hand to slap Myra.

But she was stopped by a bodyguard, and then pushed to the ground.

Molly fell and scraped her elbow, drawing blood.

"Molly how did you get here?" Iris asked urgently. "Go away, don’t worry about me."

Molly glared at the arrogant girl in front of her. "Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Molly!" Myra looked at her, a mix of anger and amusement on her face. "You came at the perfect time.

John, you’ve always had a thing for her, haven’t you? Today, you and Joey can show them a good time."

Molly was furious. "Don’t you dare lay a hand on us?"

"And what if I do? Nobody’s gonna come to your rescue." Myra raised an eyebrow triumphantly. "Go ahead."

Joey was the first to stride over, trying to rip the clothes off Iris. Iris screamed in terror.

"Let go of my mom!" Molly tried to rescue her mother, but John grabbed her by the foot and dragged her towards the bushes. "You bastard, let go of me!""

Suddenly, a slender hand grabbed John’s arm: Before he could react, he was kicked into the bushes.
