Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 57

Willow followed her into the bedroom.

The second the door clicked shut, the tears vanished from Lydia's face.

She looked at Willow and lowered her voice. "Is Wren really getting a divorce?"

Willow shook her head. "I don't know."

"Then you need to act fast."

Willow looked up.

Lydia grabbed her hands. Her voice was gentle, but laced with a ruthlessness honed over years of waiting.

"I waited over a decade for Vivian Vance to die just so your father could bring us into this house. You cannot be like me, just sitting around waiting for someone else to vacate their spot."

Willow's fingertips went cold.

Lydia pressed on. "Lawrence is already willing to give you money, hand you projects, and let people assume you're Mrs. Langford. That is a massive advantage. Men start by giving you a little status, and eventually, they'll give you everything."

Willow bit her lip. "But Wren isn't officially divorced yet."

"Then let her leave," Lydia said sharply. "Isn't she so high and mighty? Didn't she say she doesn't want him anymore? Then make sure her exit is permanent."

Willow's heart hammered in her chest.

Lydia stared into her eyes. "Willow, listen to me. Wren was born as Vivian's daughter. Everything in her life was handed to her on a silver platter. You are different. If you want something, you have to snatch it yourself."

Willow lowered her eyes.

Snatch it yourself.

She had heard those words her entire life.

When she was little, she snatched the bedroom.

When she grew up, she snatched the career opportunities.

And now, she was going to snatch Lawrence.

She wasn't doing anything wrong.

Wren had already enjoyed so much.

It was finally her turn.

Outside the cemetery gates, Wren eventually turned around.

Harrison held the umbrella over her, letting his own shoulder get soaked in the downpour.

Wren noticed and murmured, "Your jacket is ruined."

Harrison smiled slightly. "It's just water."

Wren looked at him and said softly, "Harrison, you shouldn't do this anymore."

The amusement in his eyes flickered out.

Wren's voice was gentle but absolute.

"I know you mean well. But you are Lawrence's friend, and I've already dragged you into too much of my mess tonight."

Harrison held her gaze.
