Chapter 64 Days of Bits and Pieces
Walter frowned, but his words were exceptionally firm, “Mother, Tabatha and I will not divorce.”
Seeing him like this now, his mother became even more angry at his inappropriate words. Her breathing became more rapid as she said, “What do you want to do if you don’t divorce? Are you trying to kill my daughter? Tabatha is a child that Rudolf and I have cherished and raised. We have taught her about manners, integrity, and shame since she was young. She is not like those who seduce married men, and she would never share a husband with someone else. Walter, you must divorce, whether you want to or not.”
The mother’s attitude was exceptionally firm, even her words exuded determination.
Walter’s handsome brows furrowed slightly, but only for a moment, then he spoke calmly, “No matter, we’ll take it slow.”
His mother was so angered by his words that she almost threw the object in her hand at him.
I held onto my mother, already knowing Walter’s temperament. I said to her, “Mom, Mr. Borseth is in the second bedroom upstairs. You take the clothes to him, I’ll handle things here.”
Mother was worried, looking at me she said, “Tabatha, they…”
I smiled gently, soothing her, “Mom, go ahead.”
Seeing me like this, my mother had no choice but to go upstairs.
Watching my mother leave, I turned to Ashley and Walter and said,

“You both heard what my mother just said, please move elsewhere.”
“Tabatha, this is also my home!” Ashley was choked with anger by her mother’s words. Now that her mother was not around, she roared with rage, wishing she could vent it all on me.
I pursed my l*ps into a faint smile, looking at her and said, “Home? Ashley, do you really think this place becomes your home just because you’ve lived here for over twenty years?”
Upon hearing this, Ashley’s face instantly stiffened, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words, “Tabatha, what do you mean?”
“I didn’t want to say in front of Walter that she was adopted by our parents,” I said, looking at Ashley. “Out of respect for our sisterhood, I don’t want to embarra*s you. Mother has told me everything, and naturally, I understand why you treated me that way five years ago. If you still appreciate the kindness of my parents raising you for these twenty years, don’t step into the Conner family’s house again to upset my mother. Stay away from us and live the life you want. The Conner family has nothing to do with you anymore.”
Ashley’s face turned pale, her eyes fixed on me, filled with resentment and unwillingness, as well as some other complex emotions that I couldn’t decipher.
Walter didn’t know the reason behind it, he thought I had pushed Ashley out of the Conner family. He frowned at me and said, “Tabatha, she is your sister after all, don’t you think this is cruel?”
“Shut up.” I had little patience, looking at him, “Walter, this is the Conner family’s business. If you care about her, good, take her to the Hinton family. No one will stop you.”
“Tabatha!” I didn’t know which sentence of mine had angered him, but he was now calling me by my full name.

I pursed my l*ps, looking at him, “Does Mr. Hinton have anything else?”
He probably lost his temper because of me, and left directly with Ashley.
“He’s leaving just like that?” Alexander changed into the clothes and went downstairs. The outfit his mother had chosen for him fit perfectly. It was a light-colored casual suit that made him look handsome and sunny, giving him a more approachable feel than when he wore a suit.
I leaned on the sofa, my head aching slightly, and responded absentmindedly, “Hmm!”
He sat down next to me and began, “Your situation is worse than I thought. Your career is a mess, your marriage is in shambles. It seems that Rudolf’s inability to let go before he died was not without reason.”
I turned my head and glared at him, irritably saying, “Can you stop making sarcastic remarks?”
He smirked, “Sure, wasn’t I just trying to help you solve the problem?”
“So what? Have you thought of anything?” I didn’t expect him to come up with anything. It would be a good thing if things could just stabilize within the Conner Group now.
After hesitating for a moment, he looked at me and said, “You mentioned before, when you met Ryan’s wife, she was mentally unstable and came to you, telling you that she had killed someone?”
I nodded, “Yeah.”
He squinted and said, “Have you ever thought about where would be the most reasonable place for Ryan to put such a person?”

I was taken aback, couldn’t help but sit up straight, and blurted out, “Mental hospital?”
