Chapter 1168 - 1169:
"Brother-in-law, look at her!"
"Brother-in-law?" Anna coldly interrupted, asking Mrs. Monroe, "Mom, do you have such a shameless sister?"
"No!"
Mrs. Monroe asked with a composed voice.
Anna smiled disdainfully, making Riley feel both aggrieved and furious.
Ivy held back the tears in her eyes, standing there without saying much.
Anna gave Ivy two slaps, which made her feel much better inside.
"Anna." Miles’ face changed seeing his precious darling getting bullied.
Mrs. Monroe quickly blocked his view of Anna, and said, "It’s not your place to discipline my daughter!"
She was afraid Miles would hurt Anna further.
Mr. Monroe had mistakenly hit Mrs. Monroe earlier, but doing it again was impossible.
They had been married for years. Despite Mr. Monroe’s indifference, they pretended to love each other for so long. Because of Ivy, he felt a bit guilty and reluctant towards Mrs. Monroe.
"Mom, it’s fine." Anna responded in a cool voice, "Let him hit me then."
"He hits me once, I’ll hit the Qin twice."
Hitting one’s father is unfilial, but she can hit Miles’ lover.
And hit even harder, let’s see how Miles reacts!
Anna’s words scared Ivy; she really meant what she said.
Mrs. Monroe shielding Anna might have deterred Miles, or perhaps he knew Anna would truly dare to hit his lover, so Mr. Monroe didn’t pursue the matter further.
"Fine!"
Miles replied with a cold voice.
"Anna, you’re impressive now!"
He glanced coldly at Anna.
Though Ivy hadn’t been with Miles long, from his words and expression, she could tell he wouldn’t act against Anna anymore.
Her face stung painfully from the two slaps, and Ivy knew she had to endure this time.
All for the sake of pleasing the man she loved, to marry him, that pain was nothing.
"Miles," Ivy said softly, "I’m fine, let’s go inside and talk."
"Alright." Ivy’s compromise eased Miles’ furrowed brows as he reached to squeeze her hand in return.
Ivy’s understanding, her maturity—that’s why Miles insisted on being with her.
Not only was Ivy beautiful and youthful, but she also knew him particularly well.
And when it came to handling things, she was outstanding.
Miles embraced Ivy in front of Mrs. Monroe and Anna, "Go upstairs and have the maid apply some ointment."
"Okay."
Ivy replied.
The two expressed their tender emotions, completely ignoring Mrs. Monroe and Anna’s presence.
Mrs. Monroe felt somewhat bitter inside but was clearly not as distressed.
She felt disappointed in Miles, but seeing them so in love didn’t evoke excruciating pain.
Instead, she felt disgusted and questioned her past choices.
How had her judgment been so poor all these years!
How couldn’t she see that Miles was such an unfeeling thing?
"Mom," Anna worried about Mrs. Monroe’s upset, called softly.
Mrs. Monroe smiled at Anna, "Anna, Mom has figured it out now."
"It’s not that painful."
"Really!"
Mrs. Monroe’s words reassured Anna.
Now their priority was discussing the divorce matter with Mr. Monroe.

Everyone followed into The Monroe Residence, while Mrs. Monroe and Anna casually drank tea in the living room.
Miles went upstairs to accompany Ivy, and Yara didn’t dare to stay in the living room with Anna and Mrs. Monroe.
She was scared after being hit by Anna.
