CEO's Ex-wife Stunned the World

Chapter 176 Take the Kids Back

In the Reece’s house.

Katelyn returned home angrily.

As soon as she entered the house, she took off her high heels and threw her bag on the sofa.

“Dad, mom, I’m back.”

“Why are you back so early?” Shayla was stunned.

“Didn’t I tell you to stay in the hospital and spend more time with Edwin?

“You create an opportunity for them to be alone by leaving the hospital!”

“You have no idea! That bitch Julianna! She seduces Edwin so blatantly!” Katelyn gritted her teeth. She

was furious.

“I wanted to stay, but Edwin wouldn’t let me.”

“What happened? Tell me.”

Katelyn said angrily, “What do you think? Edwin only cares about Julianna. He treats me as if I’m a

nobody!”

Katelyn could not help but start to cry.

Seeing that, Dexter said, “Well, if he doesn’t love you, you shouldn’t force it, right?”

Shayla interrupted him fiercely and sneered, “Easy for you to say.

“If Kate and Mr. Keaton break up, Julianna, that damned bitch, will be the winner.”

Dexter was angry at Shayla’s words. “How can you say those harsh words?”

“Am I wrong? Go away if you don’t care about Kate.”

Then Shayla comforted Katelyn quickly, “Kate, you can’t rush things. You have to be patient.

“At such a critical juncture, you have to bite the bullet.”

“Mom, I can’t!”

Shayla’s face stiffened, and she said angrily, “You have to. If you can’t, you’ll ruin everything.

“If you throw a tantrum and appear jealous, you will give Edwin an excuse to break up with you.

“You have waited for so many years. All the days you have spent will be in vain.

“Do you want that to happen?”

“No.”

“I think so, too.

“Well then. Now it’s time for you to think of a way to reverse the situation.

“If you can’t stand a small setback like this, how can you deal with those sluts in the future?

“Who is Mr. Keaton? Think about it. Countless women want to be his girlfriend!

“If you can’t beat that bitch Julianna now, how can you stand up to the vixens in the future?”

Katelyn then gradually calmed down.

She thought, Mom is right.

There will be plenty of women throwing themselves at a man like Edwin, even though he isn’t a

playboy.

If I can’t beat Julianna, how can I be a match for those women who want to become Edwin’s wife?

“Mom, you are right. I must cheer up. I shouldn’t give in.”

Shayla patted Katelyn’s shoulder. “That’s more like it. Chin up.

“Think about it. This is just a small setback. If you can’t even handle this, how can you accomplish

great things in the future?”

“That’s enough!” Dexter said. He couldn’t bear to hear Shayla’s words anymore.

“What kind of upbringing is that?”

“Shut up! You are so partial toward Julianna!” Shayla glared at him.

“Kate’s fiancé is about to be snatched away, yet you sit still and pretend that nothing happened. Tell

me, are you partial or not?

“If I were you, I would kill that damned slut!”

“Forget it! Suit yourselves.” Dexter left with a frown on his face.

Shayla whispered into Katelyn’s ear.

“Mom, are you serious?” Katelyn was shocked.

“Trust me. It will work.

“There’s nothing impossible if you are bold enough.”

After persuading Katelyn, Shayla called her two cousins.

Beep!

“Hello.”

“Shayla, you miss us, don’t you?” Henry answered the phone quickly.

“Humph! It’s been so long. How is your plan going?”

“Be patient.”

“I don’t care. Get that bitch down as fast as you can.”

“OK.

“This is not some trivial matter after all. We have to make proper plans.”

“Don’t just talk. Put it into practice.”

“I see. We’ll get to it as soon as possible.”

“OK. Use your brains. Think about it. 3 million dollars will be enough for the rest of your lives.”

“Got it.”

In the Keaton’s old mansion.

“When will Edwin be discharged?”

“Mrs. Keaton, Mr. Keaton will be back tonight.”

“Good. I can talk to him about bringing the kids back to our family when he gets back.”

As they were talking, Edwin came back.

“Grandma, I’m back.”

Melina looked at Edwin with a smile. She said, “Edwin, you come back just at the right time. I want to

talk to you about the

children.”

“What is it?”

“It’s about the pedigree,” Savion explained.

“What pedigree?”

“Silly. Our family’s pedigree, of course.

“Now that we have two boys, of course, they should be part of the pedigree.

“Also, we should hold a grand banquet to formally acknowledge them as the descendants of the

Keaton family.”

When Edwin heard this, his face was full of worry. “Grandma, is it necessary?”

“Of course! You are twenty-eight years old now, and you will soon be thirty years old. You have two

children now. It is a wonderful thing!

“We have to celebrate and announce the good news.”

“Grandma…” Edwin wanted to say something but hesitated.

He was organizing words in his head, trying to convince Melina.

“What is it?”

“I think we should discuss this with Julianna.

“After all, she is the kids’ mother. It’s better to let her know what we decided. We can wait till she is OK

with this.”

Hearing that, Melina subconsciously looked at Edwin. “Edwin, when did you become so indecisive?

“They are the kids of the Keaton family. Although she gave birth to them, you are the father.

“No matter what, they are part of our bloodline.

“Why isn’t she willing to let the children come back to our family? Does she think we are not worthy of

that?”

Melina was confused. She thought, Why doesn’t Julianna want the children to be part of the Keaton

family?

The Keaton family is the richest in Philadelphia.

Edwin is Mr. Perfect. Women are lining up to bear his children.

Julianna should feel lucky to give birth to three children for our family. It’s her blessing!

“Julianna thinks differently from others,” Edwin explained with a frown.

“Anyway, they are our family’s kids. It’s an indisputable fact. I don’t care. They must be part of our

family!

“The paperwork for the name change is ready. We can change their names now.”

“Grandma, it can’t be rushed. We should slow it down.”

Melina pulled a long face. “No. How can I face your grandpa and your dad if I don’t bring the kids back?

“After they become members of our family officially, I can rest in peace even if I die someday.”

As they were talking, a servant came to them.

“Mrs. Keaton, Mr. Keaton, Ms. Reece is here.”

“Perfect timing. I want to speak to her. Send her in.”

“Yes.”

Ten minutes later.

Savion walked Julianna into the living room.

Julianna had a gloomy look on her face, but she still greeted Melina politely, “Hello, Melina.”

“Julie, you came just in time. I want to talk to you about something.” Melina pushed up her glasses.

“Melina, I’m here today to take the children back.”

“Take the children back?”

Melina smiled coldly, “Julie, you are at the Keaton’s place.

“The children belong to the Keaton family.”

“In any case, I gave birth to them, and I’ve been taking care of them for four years. I’m their only

guardian.

“I will take them away with me today. No one can stop me. If anyone wants to stop me, I will call the

police and ask for their

help.”

“Is this how you want to play it? OK then. I’ll play rough as well.

“I am very grateful that you gave birth to three children for our family.

“No matter what, they are part of our family, and you have to acknowledge it.

“Or is there anything you want? You can tell me.

“I will try to meet your requests. I can offer you some financial compensation as well. Of course, if you

and Edwin can get back together, I also wish…

“I want nothing but my kids.”

Julianna was so stubborn.

Melina was furious.

With Melina’s status, it was rare for her to speak to the juniors so humbly.
