Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 829

Jeffrey had only called Yvonne to the hospital in case this was her last chance to see Teresa.

It seemed the turmoil of the past year had matured him, making him less foolish.

Yvonne walked out of the private room into the anteroom, which was far more lively.

Marcia and Mrs. James Sr. were huddled together, whispering like they were at a tea party.

“That little bitch Yvonne really knows what she's doing, actually becoming the Thompson family's new princess,” Marcia said, her voice dripping with acid. “A woman's status is all about the man she sleeps with. She got into the heir's bed and suddenly she's royalty. A real Cinderella story.”

“Well, since you know she's a phoenix now, you'd better stop provoking her,” Mrs. James Sr. warned. “Your father has been losing sleep trying to build a connection with the Thompsons. Yvonne is the apple of Mr. Bennett Thompson's eye right now. If you cross her, your father will be the first one to punish you.”

Marcia, who had clearly heard this lecture before, nodded impatiently. “I know, I know. I'll treat her like a queen, happy now?”

“I can't believe that fool Teresa managed to produce such a capable daughter,” Mrs. James Sr. lamented. “I've spent all these years scheming for you and your brother, and you're both such disappointments.”

Having schemed her way into the family as the other woman, Mrs. James Sr. had worked tirelessly her whole life, only to have her own children fall short.

“She's young and pretty now, so she can keep a man's attention,” Marcia added. “Once she's old and her looks fade, he'll just kick her to the curb.”
