Husband With Benefits-Chapter 48: An Attack

"You b*tch! Whom did you marry? Just how conniving can you be that you would scheme against us all! I had no idea I’d been raising a snake all these years!"

Lara Anderson had been waiting outside the Cafe waiting for Nora to come out. These days, she had tried to catch Nora outside the university, but the girl was too quick at evading her. And so, after ten days of trying to follow her and catch up with her, she had finally forced Sara to give up this girl’s location! Foolish girl!

When Sara had been willing to fall in with her schemes, Lara had thought that she’d finally been blessed with a good daughter, who understood what was right or wrong. Who would have thought that the girl was a love fool? Sara had only agreed to all her plans because she had been crazy for Antonio.

It wasn’t as if Lara had a problem with Antonio and she would have been happy if the two were married but now Antonio, who had claimed to love Lara was hemming and hawing about going to the registration office to make their marriage official.

In a bid for desperation, Lara had bribed a secretary to let her see a copy of the will so that she would be able to look for a loophole. Unexpectedly, she had not even been able to get her hands on the will’s copy but also discovered that the will was being executed in Nora’s favor. According to the conditions of the will, Nora should have been married for the execution to begin.

Who did this girl marry? And when? But that information was unavailable from the lawyer’s office. Desperate, she had made her way to the civil office hoping to get her information from there. However, she had failed there miserably. She’d even been forced to offer her ’services’ in exchange for information.

Lara was at the end of her limits! For so many years she had tried to get her hands on something that was rightfully hers but all in vain! First, it was her husband who blocked her path, then her own parents followed by that Watchdog attorney and now this Nora. That girl was her blood and she had raised her! So of course, she would have to listen to her!

Lara knew what she had to do, of course. All she needed to do was find Nora and make her give up the name of the man she had married. Then she would force the girl to divorce. Once she was divorced, Nora would be excluded from the will by default.

But that girl was really elusive suddenly. It was only after she almost tortured Sara that the girl blurted out this location.

Nora tried to push away her mother who was holding her firmly, but the woman was used to handling her. Since Lara had immediately slapped her across the face when she saw her, Nora could already feel the side of her face throbbing. Slowly, blood trickled down her face as she had also been scratched across the face by the woman.

However, though Lara’s attack had taken Nora by surprise, she had been training diligently in self-defence. She was not very powerful, but she was able to push Lara away. At this time, many people had already gathered around the two women and were watching in fascination.

Seeing that Lara Anderson had slipped and fallen onto the ground, Nora quickly considered if she wanted to retaliate or escape from here.

Of course, if it had been her from the past, then she would have quickly retreated and hidden somewhere until her mother’s temper calmed down and she forgot what it was that had angered her. But now she had already come to accept that hiding would only delay the inevitable.

But she did not want to engage in this battle. Her mother was wild and had no concern for where she attacked. She could not be the same and attack her mother similarly. Raising her hands in front of her, as if to ward her off, Nora spoke slowly," Mama, please calm down."

The words seemed to incense her more and she tried to attack her even more wildly," You wh*re! How dare you tell me to calm down! You are young but you plotted against your own mother! I should have killed you when I knew of your existence. Or even better I should have thrown you out to rot when you were born!"

"Ha! I did throw you out but even then, you were saved! That was when I should have realized that you would be nothing but a bane to my happiness!"

The few brave passers-by who had been trying to restrain Lara had initially been sympathizing with her assuming that her young daughter had cheated her. However, when they heard these words, they were so shocked that they loosened their hold. Sensing that she was no longer being held back, Lara ran with all her might, and grabbed Nora’s hair," Tell me! Tell me whom did you marry? You will come with me this instance and divorce that ba*tard who helped you lay claim to the will."

As the public tried to pull Lara off Nora, Nora seemed to be in a trance. The reason Lara had been able to grab her again was because of what Lara had just revealed that she had indeed tried to abandon Nora when she was a child.

Anger, grief, misery and hatred for everything that she had suffered all those years bubbled inside Nora and she used all her might to push Lara away. In the next instance, she used all her strength to slap Lara across the face as police sirens started blaring in the background.

As the police arrived at this scene, Lara used all her acting skills to cry to the police about how her daughter had been torturing and abusing her while Nora stood there, still in shock.
