Triplets’ Mighty Mom Novel

Chapter 47 Purpose Achieved

Over the past few days, Lyla kept hearing Camila’s name being mentioned. Was Summer city always this small? How is it that we would even run into her at the elementary school? “That's right. You didn't see that attitude of hers; it was exceptionally arrogant! She even threw me out! Even now, my arm still hurts.” Florence rubbed at her arm, curling her lips with all her might.

When Lyla heard that, she was stunned for a moment. Following that, the gears in her mind spun quickly, and she pretended to rush over to Florence worriedly. “She dared to hit you? Where were you hurt?” As she spoke, she squatted down in front of her. “Let me see; is it serious?”

Florence broke into a smile immediately and grabbed her hand. “I'm fine. It was a little swollen this morning, but I rubbed some medicinal oil on it. Don't worry; it's fine now.” Then, Lyla sat down on another chair. “Mom, don't confront her directly next time. Let her say whatever she wants to say. You're not young anymore; your health is more important.”

Florence had a pleased expression on her face. “I'm so glad Miles married you. If he had married that sister of yours, she would have taken years off my life. She completely drove me up the wall today! Not only did she refuse to apologize, but she also hit me! Whoever marries that woman would never find peace! She is so unlike you-you are so kind and considerate.” Having achieved her purpose, Lyla pretended to sigh helplessly. “Camila came back a few days back. As soon as she got back, we got into an unpleasant dispute. Just the day before, she drove a wedge between Miles and me. I don't know what she said to him, but he slapped me the moment he came back. He even said that if it wasn’t because of me, he wouldn't have broken up with her. Right now, he refuses to sleep in the same room as me. I don't even know how long more I can remain as your daughter-in-law. At this rate, it may not be long before you have a new daughter-in-law.”

Florence widened her eyes at those words. “What did you say? Is that true? Miles wants to marry Camila?”

“I don't know either. However, I believe that if Miles continues to be seduced by Camila, it may happen very soon. You didn't see the look Miles gave me! He looked like he wanted to kill me! Perhaps all men are like this-they stop cherishing something once they've obtained it. Currently, he thinks Camila is so great and amazing-so much so he even began to doubt the paternity of Mitch, claiming that he wasn't sure whether the child is his. Mom, don't you think he's acting like a possessed man?” Lyla looked extremely aggrieved, and her eyes filled with tears.

“She must be delusional!” Florence cursed viciously, “If she wants to marry my son, it'll still depend on my approval! A woman of loose morals like her, trying to enter the Ryan family?! Don't even dream about it! Lyla, don’t worry. You are the only daughter-in-law I have. Nobody will ever break the two of you apart.” Lyla smiled slightly and said in an understanding manner, “Okay; thanks, Mom. I made you worry about us again. I just can't help feeling that she’s always lurking about everywhere. Even now, her child is going to the same school as Mitch. Moreover, I've seen that child of hers. He looks rather smart. So, I'm worried Mitch might be bullied by him.”

Florence snorted, “How dare he?! In a few days, I'll get somebody to teach that little b*stard a lesson so that he remembers it forever.”

Thus, Lyla secretly raised her brows with a faint smile on her lips.

Time passed quickly. Camila had found a location for her studio, and it was being renovated. Thus, she had been watching over things at the studio during this period.

Today, she received a call from the program crew of the Glamor Vogue's grand competition, asking her to participate as a judge for tomorrow's final show for the ready-to-wear collection. This time around, the scale of the grand fashion competition was very large. Many companies had sponsored it. Moreover, it was very well advertised and held considerable prestige. Out of thousands of works, only the top ten most popular and most promising designs were selected. After that, the designer's team was required to create ready-made garments of their designs, which would be showcased on the runway by models or the designers themselves. Then, they will be scored by judges and voted on by the audience. If one placed among the top candidates, the benefits wouldn't stop at the prize money; they would also receive the promotion and publicity of various media outlets, TV stations, and the internet.

Unfortunately, her studio was not ready yet. Otherwise, she would have taken the opportunity to ride on the popularity of the competition to promote her studio. That would have been more effective than whatever advertisement I could put up!
