Chapter 1170 - 1171: Half for Each
Riley Preston asked again.
"Of course you can."
Ivy Preston nodded. When she and Riley Preston moved into The Monroe Residence, Miles Morgan didn’t allow them to touch Mrs. Monroe and Anna Morgan’s rooms.
But after today, The Monroe Residence will truly change its hostess.
"Sister, Anna Morgan is really annoying!"
Riley Preston mentioned Anna Morgan, thinking about being hit by her twice today, felt very angry.
Ivy Preston felt the same.
With Anna Morgan’s temperament, she is bound to get a harsh lesson from someone sooner or later.
Miles Morgan went downstairs and saw Mrs. Monroe and Anna Morgan sitting there, happily chatting, undisturbed by the presence of Ivy Preston and others.
There’s no need to let irrelevant and unworthy people ruin their mood.
This warm scene touched Miles Morgan deeply.
Recently, he hasn’t dared to return to The Morgan Family, largely because it wasn’t The Morgan Family anymore.
His son ran away from home and hasn’t returned yet.
"The rooms upstairs have always been empty, never letting them stay in them," Miles Morgan said calmly as he looked at them.
He was providing Mrs. Monroe and them a way down.
Letting Ivy and Riley Preston move into The Monroe Residence without allowing them to stay in their own rooms, Mrs. Monroe found no gratitude in it, only amusement.
"Miles,"
Mrs. Monroe spoke up, "How many years have we been married?"
Miles Morgan heard Mrs. Monroe talking about the past, thinking she didn’t want a divorce and couldn’t bear to leave him and The Morgan Family.
He walked over and sat down next to Mrs. Monroe and Anna Morgan.
"Twenty-seven years."
"I thought you didn’t know how many years we’ve been married?" Mrs. Monroe laughed coldly, "Back then, marrying me, did The Thorne Family force you?"
"No!"
Miles Morgan responded, "According to my conditions at the time, marrying you was indeed reaching above myself."
When Mrs. Monroe was young, her circumstances were not something Miles Morgan could match.
When The Thorne Family proposed that Mrs. Monroe wanted to marry him, he considered it for one night before agreeing.
At that time, he had met Mrs. Monroe, but had no feelings for her.
Between emotion and reason, Miles Morgan chose the latter.
The woman he liked, he could pursue after gaining power.
But marrying a wealthy heiress who could support his ascent, that chance came only once.
"All these years, I haven’t treated you badly."
Miles Morgan continued, and indeed it was the truth.
He and Mrs. Monroe respected each other as guests, truly loving their children.
"Then why did you go and find..."
Mrs. Monroe got excited, glaring at Miles Morgan, initially not understanding why he would give up a good family.
Now, asking, she felt calm inside.
She started to understand the person that Miles Morgan was.
He was benefit-oriented, ruthless, heartless—a bridge-burning villain.
"I have no feelings for you."
Miles Morgan said calmly, "I fell in love with Ivy Preston."
This answer!
"Ha ha." Anna Morgan laughed, mocking, "Dad, when you married mom, why didn’t you say you didn’t love her."
"When you hadn’t yet gained control of The Morgan Family, why didn’t you say you didn’t love her!"
All along, Miles Morgan played the role of a good husband, deceiving Mrs. Monroe’s family—the Thorne Family—into fully supporting him.

Once The Thorne Family’s resources turned into The Morgan Corporation’s, and Miles Morgan solidified his power, only then did he find Ivy Preston.
It wasn’t necessarily that he loved Ivy Preston so much, but the timing of her appearance was just right.
"Divorce!" Mrs. Monroe didn’t converse further with Miles Morgan, "I also can’t let you leave with nothing."
Fighting Miles Morgan, Mrs. Monroe felt confident.
He wasn’t the Miles Morgan he used to be.
"The assets and shares in your hand, we split evenly."
"Evenly split?"
