I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 232 A long time passed . Scarlett couldn't hold back any longer . " Ms. Thayer , you can't just let Rhea stay here like this . Look at her ! She's practically trying to seduce Mr. Jamison ! Women like that need a good scolding to learn their lesson! " Lauren's mind spun with a hundred wild scenarios , terrified that something might happen between Carter and Rhea . If that happened , she wouldn't even be able to return to Colburn . Everyone would probably laugh at her . The " happy moment " in the kids ' room that Scarlett mentioned wasn't something she saw with her own eyes .

After all , she hadn't gone inside and could only vaguely hear some sounds from outside the door . She had mistaken the sounds from the cartoon , thinking the family of four was having a good time together . Lauren had barely slept a wink all night . The next morning , she supported her leg , which was aching and numb , and stepped out of the room with her cane in hand . As she looked up toward the second floor , her eyes turned bloodshot . " Ms. Thayer ? " Scarlett had gotten up early , as she was worried about Lauren's mood . " Has Carter gone back to his room ?

" Scarlett guessed , " I saw Mr. Jamison's bedroom door closed earlier . He should be resting by now . " Lauren nodded , then beckoned Scarlett over . Scarlett leaned in to listen . After a moment , she turned and walked away . At 7:40 am , Scarlett , mop in hand , was cleaning the second - floor floor while chatting casually with Chloe . " People really need some shame . If someone clearly doesn't love you anymore , why force yourself into their life ? Why not just let them live in peace with their family ? " 1/2 Chapter 232 +25 BONUS Chloe , who was seated , glared toward the kids ' room .

She echoed loudly , " Exactly . Society's morals nowadays have all been ruined by these shameless women ! " " Some people just have to shove their way in to take care of other people's kids . Such a bitch ! Can't they have their own ? Or they don't know how ? It's just ridiculous ! " Scarlett dragged the mop across the floor with force . As she spoke , she glanced at the kids ' room . Lauren listened from around the corner of the staircase . Scarlett kept muttering for nearly 20 minutes . By the time it approached 8:00 am , Lauren was both anxious and furious .

How could Rhea still not come out after so long ? Did she really have no shame ? Did she plan to stay here all day ? From across the hall , Lauren shot Scarlett a look . Scarlett immediately dropped the mop and stormed to the kids ' room . She raised her hand and knocked hard on the door . " Sweeties , wake up ! No more sleeping in ! " Scarlett's voice rang through the hallway . But the room remained silent . Scarlett panicked . Couldn't that damn woman read the room at all ? How dare she sleep in someone else's house ! So Scarlett nearly hammered on the door .

" Wake up- Suddenly , the door swung open . Scarlett's words got stuck in her throat . She froze . " M - Mr . Jamison ? " She cautiously glanced toward the corner of the staircase to seek help from Lauren . However , Lauren had stepped back the moment she heard the wheelchair when the door opened . She quickly made her way upstairs with her cane , feigning ignorance . " Scarlett , what's wrong ? You can't get the door open ? " After asking that , she pretended to be surprised . " Carter ? Weren't you supposed to be resting in your room ?

" Carter ignored her question and fixed his gaze on Scarlett . " Is this how you normally wake my kids up ? "
