Chapter 281 Darcy's Frustration
Seeing her smug expression, Darcy became furious and lost all reason, rushing towards her, "You shameless slut! How dare you seduce Mr. L? I won't let you off! Ah—!"
Her screams made the people passing by frowned.
However, Darcy couldn't care less about her image. She grabbed Winnie's hair and tried to pull her down to the ground.
With uncontrollable anger, she cursed, "He is my man! Do you think you can snatch him back with your despicable body? You're delusional. Let me tell you, his heart and mind are completely focused on me. He won't allow any harm to come my way. Just a few words from me, and he will eliminate you instantly. Believe it or not!"
"I believe you," Winnie thought about the heartless words the man said in the hotel room and burst into laughter.
Darcy was taken aback.
Winnie quickly seized her arm and said sarcastically, "Miss Ordelia, you used to be cunning three years ago. How come now you can only resort to behaving like a madwoman?"
With a knowing smile, she continued, "It seems like you've been pushed to your limit. After all, you couldn't get a man for three years, and you're lonely and desperate. Especially when I can excite him in an instant, you must be jealous and furious. I advise you to be a little friendlier with me. Otherwise, with just a beckoning gesture, I can make sure you won't find any peace!"
Winnie suddenly understood Alan's words about seducing Lawrence R and then seeking revenge against them. Seeing Darcy in this state, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
Darcy was on the verge of spitting blood in anger. "You think Mr. L still cares about you? In his eyes, you're a filthy woman. How can I be seen as clean? As for last night, I saw through your tricks. Rest assured, his illness will soon be cured by a divine doctor. Your manipulation won't work anymore!"
Winnie looked at her confident appearance and became interested. "Miss Ordelia, don't you know that the divine doctor you hired is no longer practicing in hospitals?"
"How do you know?" Darcy was indeed troubled, wondering how to cure Mr. L's illness.
Winnie smiled, pretending to be surprised. "Could it be you don't know that the divine doctor's name is Winnie?"
"...," Darcy was stunned.
After reacting, her face turned various shades, and she disdainfully said, "Who do you think you are? You only know a little Dry Needling. How could you possibly be a foreign divine doctor? I can't even cure Mr. L's illness!"
Winnie laughed, "Of course you can't cure him because you lack charm, and he's not interested in you."
Darcy was devastated by a series of blows and became infuriated. "You wretch, I will tear apart your mouth."
"The truth is always unpleasant," Winnie smiled and, seeing Darcy pounce at her again, she couldn't be bothered to argue.
She grabbed a nearby garbage bin and stuffed it into her arms. "Go tear some paper. Be careful, the hotel's trash bin is dirty."
"...," Darcy felt nauseated and thought about the events between Winnie and Mr. L last night. She became jealous to the point of madness.
Damn it, why is Mr. L still interested in this wretched woman!
Furious, she threw the trash bin at Winnie, who was leaving in a hurry. "I won't let you off easily. If you want to get Triton back, let me tell you..."
"Daydreaming."
A cunning plan flashed through Darcy's eyes, and she angrily ran back to her car and sped away. Winnie paused for a moment, her peripheral vision catching Darcy's malicious gaze. She pursed her lips and also drove away from the hotel.
On the way, she messaged Mr. Wilson, threatening that if Lawrence R manages to obtain the permit, Mr. Wilson should promptly arrange a visit to the prison.
All of this had to be done quietly, before Darcy noticed.

Winnie arrived at Olivia's house looking exhausted, hoping to take Oscar back.
Olivia opened the door and asked, "Where were you last night? I couldn't reach you, and Oscar was really worried."
Winnie hesitated for a moment, tucking her hair behind her ear. "Alan and I had a business engagement that kept us busy late."
"How come you were working with Alan? Isn't he Lawrence R's opponent?" Olivia was a bit confused.
Winnie couldn't reveal her plan to return to her home country and help Olivia seek revenge against Darcy; Olivia would surely advise against it.
She gave a vague response and walked into the house, asking, "Oscar?"
In the living room, Oscar was squatting in the middle of a playpen, patiently playing with Mia. Mia laughed happily, spewing milk, and Oscar wiped her clean.
Winnie looked at her son with suspicion, a trace of contemplation crossing her mind.
Olivia leaned in close and quickly said, "Isn't it amazing? You didn't see the message I sent you yesterday. After Oscar went to the bathroom, he came back like this, playing with Mia, extremely polite, emotionally intelligent. I can't believe it. It's a far cry from the aloof kid we had yesterday. He seems like a completely different person!"
Seeing her son's behavior, Winnie confirmed that he had returned to being the "gentlemanly Oscar."
She hesitated for a moment, but didn't dwell on it too much, rejoicing, "Maybe he just miraculously recovered from his illness. Sweetheart, come over to mommy."
Only then did Oscar look up and see Winnie.
He ran over with delight, embracing her tightly. "Mommy! I missed you so much!"
Winnie was once again taken aback. Did it sound like they hadn't seen each other for days?
She shook her head, chuckling, and pinched her son's cheek. "You've caused trouble for Aunt Olivia overnight. Come on, let's go home and rest with mommy."
"Okay!"
The mother and son walked out of the building and got into the car.
Oscar sat in the passenger seat, constantly making small gestures like handing tissues to his mommy or checking messages.
These were things that yesterday's "Oscar" would never do; he had more resembled a cold-hearted boy. Winnie couldn't help but sigh at the magnitude of this illness.
Noticing Winnie yawning, Oscar hesitated before asking, "Mommy, you weren't bullied last night, were you?"
Winnie was taken aback for a moment and replied hesitantly, "Why would you ask that?"
The observant Oscar noticed something off about his mommy's neck.
Winnie had a red mark and worried that she might have fought with her jerk of a father. He didn't even have the decency to let a woman go first, hmph.
"It's nothing, I'm just worried that Mommy will be treated badly when she returns to the country. She can't be mistreated by anyone!"
Such a little gentleman, thought Winnie as she affectionately touched his head. "Mommy will take care of herself!"
In the future, he and Sidney would stand by Mommy, too.
Oscar really wanted to share this news, but did Mommy not know that she had another son? Would revealing it cause a lot of trouble? Maybe it's better to follow what he discussed with his little brother and not say anything for now. Let's observe Mommy's relationship with Dad first.
Oscar pursed his lips, remembering another important matter. After pondering for a while, he found a way to broach the subject.
"Mommy, you know I've been hacking into some computer systems, right?"
"Hmm?" Winnie turned her head, sensing that her clever son had something to say.
Oscar lied, "Mommy, I know that jerk dad's mom has a persistent vegetative states condition, and you're developing a special medicine. It's quite a coincidence, but I came across someone on the dark web offering a high price for the medicine. The patient's name is Madam Rodriguez. They say she has been in a vegetative state for three years, and her hand suddenly started moving a few days ago. Could she be my grandmother?"
Winnie's grip on the steering wheel tightened suddenly as she turned her head, surprised. "Are you sure they called her Madam Rodriguez?"
"Don't worry, Mom. I know a little bit of the alphabet, I won't make a mistake."
Madam Rodriguez's hand actually moved. It seemed that Taylor had taken good care of her these past three years, and the medicine she left behind eliminated the toxins in Madam Rodriguez's body. Winnie felt a surge of joy in her heart!
Now, she had to find a way to quickly deliver the new medicine to the villa estate for Madam Rodriguez to take in time. But who could smoothly infiltrate Lawrence R's house and avoid Darcy's watchful eyes?
Winnie looked troubled, and Oscar, noticing this, smirked. He was the perfect candidate for sneaking around secretly!
Next step: stealing Mommy's new medicine and then swapping it with Sidney.

Meanwhile, Darcy angrily left the hotel and didn't return to the estate. Instead, she had Jeffery gather the distressed old shareholders of Triton together.
