Love Me Or Leave Me

Chapter 257

“I hate you! I don’t want you to be my mommy, and I don’t want to see you again!” Jeremy shouted angrily the moment he saw Queenie.

Queenie was stunned when she heard Jeremy’s words, and her expression darkened as she realized what he had said. Instinctively, she glanced at Stacey, blaming her for influencing Jeremy.

“Queenie, Jeremy doesn’t like you,” Hayden stated bluntly, looking at Queenie. As he spoke, he glanced at Jeremy before averting his gaze to Queenie again. “If you insist on pursuing this and taking it to the media, the Hoggard family will have no choice but to reveal the truth about your actions over the years to the public. If you think those threats can intimidate the Hoggard family, go ahead and try.”

“By the way, just so you know, Becky and I are in a relationship now. Jeremy wants Becky to be his mother, so it’s best if you let go of any unnecessary fantasies. Otherwise, you’ll only end up embarrassing yourself, and no one will help you,” Hayden added curtly.

Queenie’s face went pale. She stared at Hayden in shock. ‘How could he be so blunt and direct with me? Most importantly, is it true that Hayden is going out with Becky? Even Jeremy had been won over by Becky!‘ she exclaimed to herself.

Thinking of that, Queenie turned to Jeremy and pleaded anxiously, “Jeremy, she can’t be your mother. A stepmother never be better than your biological mother. I’m your biological mother, and I’ll be good to you from now on.” Her voice trembled as she spoke.

Hayden frowned in annoyance and snapped, “Enough, Queenie!

Jeremy, who was upset, said angrily, “I know you’re lying! You have never treated me nicely! You never wanted me. You just

want to use me!”

“No, that’s not true,” Queenie quickly denied, her expression changing drastically. Desperately, she turned to Becky and accused, “Becky, did you teach Jeremy to say all these things? Did you badmouth me in front of him, telling him I’m just using him? That’s why he likes you and not me, right?”

Tears welled up in Queenie’s eyes as she stepped closer to Stacey. When Hayden saw that, he frowned and stepped forward to pull Queenie away. Jeremy also ran to stand protectively in front of Becky immediately, spreading his arms wide and shouting, “Bad woman, I won’t let you hurt Becky!”

Stacey was momentarily startled by Queenie’s sudden accusation, but after seeing Hayden and Jeremy protecting her, she regained her composure. Realizing that she and Hayden were now in a relationship and likely heading toward marriage, she took a deep breath and gathered her courage. “Queenie, do you even realize what you have done wrong? Have you ever thought about why Hayden and Jeremy don’t like you?” Stacey asked.

Queenie’s face turned pale as she heard Stacey’s words. “I–I was too immature back then. I made some mistakes, but I’ve realized them now. I promise, I’ll be a better person. I won’t do those things again. Stacey, I’m Hayden’s ex–wife and Jeremy’s biological mother. If we reconcile, our family will finally be whole again. If you have any dignity, stop being a homewrecker and stop seducing my husband!”

sound. Stacey was Just as Queenie finished her sentence, Stacey slapped her hard across the face, causing a loud smacki furious and retorted, “Queenie, you and Hayden divorced three years ago. My relationship with him is legitimate. How dare you call me a homewrecker?”

Queenie, stunned and enraged, raised her hand, about to hit Stacey. Hayden quickly intervened, grabbing her arm and pushing her away. “Enough, Queenie. I’m done talking to you. I’ll have someone speak with your grandfather later. We’ve tolerated you out of respect for your status as Jeremy’s biological mother, but if you continue to behave so shamelessly, don’t blame the Hoggard family for showing no mercy,” Hayden said coldly, staring at Queenie.

Mon,

When Jeremy heard that, he immediately looked up at his father and said, “Daddy, there’s no need for you to consider my feelings. After all, I don’t like her!” He then turned to Queenie and yelled, “I don’t like her at all! I hate her so much!”

Queenie panicked. She looked at Jeremy and said anxiously, “Jeremy, don’t listen to Becky’s nonsense. I love you, and I’ll treat you well from now on. I would never bring harm to you.”

Jeremy looked at Queenie with a sullen face and said displeasingly, “Don’t speak ill of Becky anymore. She has never said anything bad about you!”

The moment Queenie heard those words, she was stunned and incredulous. “No way! Jeremy, if she had not purposefully spoken ill of me in front of you, how could you dislike me and prefer her? Jeremy, I’m your biological mother!”

“You’re lying! You don’t like me at all! Don’t think you can fool me simply because I’m a child. Every time you visit Daddy, you don’t even look at me. You are not here for me. The only reason you’re here is to exploit Daddy and the Hoggard family. You don’t care for me! I don’t like you and don’t wish to see you again. Stop using me as an excuse to enter Hoggard Villa!” Jeremy retorted.

As Jeremy continued to speak, his words grew more emotional and intense. Stacey, who had initially been focused on Queenie, gradually realized that Jeremy had said a lot that day as she listened to his complaints one after the other. She also observed that Jeremy was expressing himself clearly and articulately.

Not only did Stacey notice that, but so did Hayden. They both looked at Jeremy. Indeed, Jeremy still cared about his mother. There was no child in the world who wouldn’t care about their biological mother. It was just that Jeremy was too smart and sensitive. He could sense who genuinely cared about him and who didn’t.

Thinking of that, Hayden pulled Jeremy behind him and said to Queenie, “I’ve said everything that needs to be said. This is your last chance to leave on your own. Stop causing problems for us. Otherwise, the Hoggard family will not hesitate to expose your past actions to the public.” The Hoggard family was never afraid to make it public. With that, Hayden picked up Jeremy and turned to Stacey. “Let’s go inside, Becky. We don’t need to deal with her anymore.”

Out of desperation, Queenie tried to reach out and stop Hayden, but before she could touch him, the Hoggard family’s bodyguards intervened, blocking her path. She attempted to follow them into the house, but the bodyguards held her back

Hayden returned to the house with Jeremy in his arms. Next, he turned around and said to Stacey, “Don’t worry. I will ask someone to handle this right away.”
