The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 458

After instructing the housekeeper to bring her medication, she finally felt a bit of relief.

But lying there, sick and completely alone with no one to care for her, a wave of profound misery washed over her.

She grabbed her phone and dialed Gabriel, but it rang endlessly.

Furious, she called his assistant. "Where is my husband?"

"Mr. Goddard is out sea fishing, ma'am."

"Then why isn't he answering his phone?"

"He's likely in an area with zero reception. Please give it some time; he'll definitely call you back in the morning."

Margaret slammed the phone down. What kind of pathetic life was this? Her husband and children couldn't care less if she dropped dead. She didn't even dare call her own mother to vent, knowing Glenda despised whining and would only lecture her for being weak.

Seething with a toxic mix of anger and loneliness, she lay awake, obsessively plotting how to destroy Winona.

Glenda, however, had a different perspective.

She had seen the news coverage, and objectively speaking, Winona was undeniably talented.

But being brilliant wasn't enough to secure a spot in the Goddard family. She lacked a powerful family backing that could provide strategic leverage for the Goddards and Shepherds. That alone made her entirely unqualified.

Worse, the girl's current skyrocketing fame was a problem. It needed to be crushed before she started genuinely believing she was worthy of Stefan.

Her thoughts shifted to Tallulah Shipley.

Since Tallulah was in the same exact field, she was the perfect weapon to utilize.

Glenda immediately dialed the Shepherd Group's project director.

When Tallulah received the call from the director, she practically jumped out of her seat in sheer ecstasy. The Shepherd Group was vastly increasing their investment, forging a deep alliance with the Locke family, and they specifically requested her as the lead director.

Even better, they were hosting a massive contract-signing gala in Riverton in three days, and she was the guest of honor.

This was the opportunity of a lifetime. Once the press releases hit the media, she would completely eclipse Winona's recent moment in the spotlight.

The Locke family had been icing her out recently, but seeing the Shepherd Group specifically request her quickly changed their tune. They assumed she must actually have real talent.
