The Invitation Said Happy Birthday To His Daughter With Another Woman Chapter 10

The Invitation Said Happy Birthday To His Daughter With Another Woman Chapter 10

The first voice was my former mother–in–law’s: 

“Ellie isn’t coming back to you. It’s better to just get 

divorced.” 

“Brooke has a better temperament, and she’s lost both her 

parents, leaving her with a massive trust fund and prime real 

estate.” 

“They must have left her millions in a trust fund and real estate. If you marry her, all of that will be yours.” 

Then came my father–in–law’s voice: “Ellie only makes that small salary and she’s too assertive. Being with Brooke means you can live off her wealth.” 

Then Julian’s response: 

“If Ellie insists on a divorce, I guess I have no choice.” 

When the recording finished, I put my phone away. 

Brooke looked deeply hurt and let out a self–deprecating 

laugh: 

“So I was just his second choice.” 

Then she got angry: 

“That whole family is subhuman!” I said sincerely: “We are 

both victims. I’ve made it out of the mud, and I hope you don’t get stuck in it.” 

“Take care of yourself.” 

Brooke’s eyes were filled with gratitude. 

“Thank you. I really appreciate it.” 

I smiled slightly. 

“You deserve better. Julian isn’t worth it, and he certainly isn’t good enough for me.” 

Her smile became more natural, and she reached out her hand: 

“Let’s start over. I’m Brooke Harrison.” 

I hesitated for just a second before taking her hand. 

“Ellie Vance.” 

I could see in her eyes that we both recognized each other as 

rational, strong women. 

In this triangle, we didn’t fight over a worthless man. 

We both chose to throw out the “trash” responsible for it all. 

I heard that Julian spent two months groveling, trying to win 

Brooke back. 

Not only did she not budge, she became even more disgusted 

with him. 

Julian ended up with nothing, and even his job was affected. 

He had always maintained an image of being a “perfect 

husband” at the office. 

Once it crumbled, he couldn’t stand the looks and the gossip 

from his colleagues. 

Not long after, he resigned. 

After leaving, he found a new job, but the pay was half of what 

he made before. 

Once he realized Brooke was a lost cause, he had the nerve to 

come crawling back to me. 

He used seeing our son as an excuse every time. 

But since our son learned about the affair and the illegitimate daughter, he has had a very poor attitude toward Julian. 

He basically refuses to see him. 

My former in–laws also came to see me, crying and begging for me to come back. 

Since I left, no one has been there to look after their daily needs. 

When they get sick, no one takes them to the hospital. 

And since they’re frugal, they won’t spend money on a caregiver. 

They finally realized how important I was. 

My mother–in–law especially cried her heart out, pleading with me: 

“We were family for years; there’s a bond there.” 

“We were wrong about what happened before. In my heart, 

you were always the best daughter–in–law.” 

“From now on, I’ll really treat you like my own daughter. Ellie, let’s be a family again, okay?” I looked at her with cold 

indifference and stripped away her mask: 

“You just want me to go back and be your free maid again.” 

“None of you deserve a happy ending.” 

Later, she and Julian kept harrassing either me or Brooke. 

Until they discovered that Brooke and I had become close 

friends. 

When my son and her daughter–these half–siblings–began 

getting along quite well, 

Julian finally realized we had formed an alliance. 

In this life, he is destined to end up with nothing and no one. 

As for Brooke and me, we both started new lives and found 

partners who truly cherish us.
