My Wealthy Mother Forced My Partner to Wash Dishes, so I Ruined Her Life — Part 2

Previously: When Justin caught his wealthy mother humiliating his partner, Chloe, in the kitchen, he kicked her out. But her retaliation forced him to make an impossible choice.

A Mother's Ruthless Threat

The house grew quiet as the remaining guests departed, sensing the sudden shift in the air. Justin held Chloe until her tears finally stopped, promising her that he would never let anyone humiliate her again. But the peace was short-lived. The very next morning, a sharp knock at the door shattered their calm.

Instead of Eleanor, it was a courier delivering a thick manila envelope. Inside was a legal notice from a prestigious law firm, along with a handwritten note from Eleanor. The note was chilling: "You think you can humiliate me in front of our peers? Choose wisely, Justin. Stand by that girl and you lose your inheritance, your position at the firm, and I will ensure the courts find her unfit to raise my granddaughter."

Chloe collapsed onto the sofa, clutching their three-year-old daughter, Lily, to her chest.

"She’s going to take my baby, Justin," Chloe sobbed. "She has the money, the power, the connections. I can't fight her."

Justin’s jaw tightened. He knew his mother was capable of anything. For years, Eleanor had controlled the family fortune with an iron fist, using it to manipulate everyone around her. She assumed Justin’s love for luxury would force him to fall in line and discard Chloe for a woman of their own social class.

But Eleanor had severely underestimated her son.

"She thinks money is her shield," Justin said, his eyes burning with determination. "But she forgot that I’ve been running the family firm’s digital security for five years. She isn't the only one with leverage."

Instead of backing down, Justin kissed Chloe’s forehead, grabbed his keys, and drove straight to his mother’s sprawling estate. It was time to end Eleanor's reign of terror once and for all.
