Chapter 663
As night fell, the lights in the mansion's courtyard lit up one by one.
The children's eyes reflected the dazzling lights, and within the glow was Haley's figure.
Haley's heart softened.
If she asked the children to leave now, they definitely wouldn't go.
But staying with the Winston family was too dangerous.
Haley pursed her lips and decisively said, "It's not the right time for a divorce yet, but we definitely can't live with the Winston family anymore. I'll go upstairs and pack our things. We'll move out tonight."
As soon as she walked into the mansion, Brenda blocked her path.
Brenda had been on pins and needles all day, her heart feeling like it was thrown into a frying pan, a feeling only she could understand.
Brenda had seen the news online, with divorce rumors flying everywhere. Before she could even process it, the four children had returned.
Their return at this time was not a good thing.
Brenda knew exactly what kind of person Martin was. Ten years ago, he had four lives on his hands, but in the end, he had his father take the fall and get executed .
Ten years later, he sent his own brother abroad to die. Now that things had escalated to this point, Martin might take action against the four children to keep this secret.
"Haley, I have a house in the suburbs that no one knows belongs to me. You and the children can stay there for now."
As soon as Brenda finished speaking, Haley gave a cold smile. "Do you think I would still trust you?"
Brenda had conspired with Martin to deceive her completely. If she hadn't noticed the clues, she might have been persuaded by Brenda to have another child with Martin.
"Haley, the four children are my biological grandchildren, Ivan's bloodline left in this world. How could I possibly harm them?" Brenda lowered her voice and urged. "Martin is extreme. He might use the children to threaten you into compromising. You..."
"If you know about his extreme tendencies, why did you let him be with me and the children?" Haley cried out. "If it weren't for your secret help, Ivan would never have been harmed by Martin! Brenda, if Ivan is really dead, I will never forgive you. And when the children find out the truth, they will never forgive you as their grandmother!"
Haley shook off Brenda's hand and went straight upstairs to pack.
Brenda's legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the sofa.
How did things come to this point? Why?
She covered her face and cried.
The four children outside heard the noise and quickly gathered around her.
"Grandma, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Don't cry, Grandma. Let me wipe your tears."
"Is Grandma hurting? Let me blow on it for you."
Brenda cried even harder. Once her adorable grandchildren found out the truth, they would surely despise her.
If it weren't for her many secret meetings with Martin, if it weren't for her arranging for Martin to enter the wedding venue, things would never have come to this.
Haley came downstairs after packing, seeing Angela lying in Brenda's arms and Owen leaning on Brenda's shoulder.
Her face turned cold, and she said indifferently, "We're leaving."
"Goodbye, Grandma."
The children obediently waved to Brenda, then followed Haley out of the mansion.
Thomas had already parked the car at the entrance and helped load two large suitcases into the trunk.
However, at this moment, a black luxury car slowly drove up and stopped at the mansion's entrance.
Martin pushed open the car door and got out, his cold eyes sweeping over everyone.
"It's quite lively today."
He curled his lips, his sinister smile growing wider.
