Offer to the CEO

Friday, continued …

After hearing Anna's concerns about the potential of her mother's behaviour at the ceremony tomorrow, Alecia responded, confident in her actions. "Do not worry Anna, I have taken care of that."

Hearing that, everyone turned towards Alecia with a puzzled look on her face before Susan had the courage to ask, "What have you done?"

"Simply told her a few home truths. When James was on an afternoon placement shift a few days after Hannah, Pippa and my return from the Hong King Dance School tour she came to the house. James had told her she was not welcome at the house unless he was there."

"When she arrived, I was cooking a meal with the assistance of one of the bodyguard's dad assigned to watch over me. I noticed her car outside the house when I went to check on a knock on the door. I opened a window and told her as James was not home, she was not welcome. She started causing a disturbance, so I reluctantly went to the door and partially opened it to make it clear she needed to leave, or the police would be called."

"She forced her way inside pushing me into the wall, before pulling me into the lounge area and then started to rant as James calls it, at me. Her comments started about how I needed to be a better wife as well as a few other things and made the comment that if I did not do what she said the situation would make my life worse."

"James walked in at that point in time, but she did not see it. I told her that while I was brought up to respect my elders, she had no power in James and my home, and the more she abused me the less she would have me respect. She yelled at me further and became verbally abusive. It was at that time James stepped in."

"He told her that we were only remaining in Australia until he graduated and if she ever wanted to see him and any children, we have in the future she better respect me otherwise we would have nothing to do with her. That stopped her, as the last thing she wants is to have no role in James' life. He set some boundaries with her and made it clear that if she breached them, she could be immediately cut from out life."

"The other night she showed us and started to abuse you and Uncle Yi in my presence. I told her to stop it our I would tell James that her behaviour was upsetting me. Due to James' threat it silenced her, so I added if she caused trouble this weekend, I would tell James about how her actions had upset me."

"And …?" asked Anna

"She stood there stuttering in disbelief of my words. James must have been standing outside the door and walked into the room observing her reaction. When I confirmed what had happened, he made it clear that upsetting me in anyway, including badmouthing someone important to me would be enough for the threat to be carried out."

"And as she adores James being cut from his life is something she would not want," chimed in Susan.

Anna paused and then said "True. James can never do anything wrong in her eyes, and the loss of control she felt she had over James since his marriage she would not like."

Alecia responded "Absolutely. She hates me. James and I had a meal out last weekend and we were approached by a former girlfriend of his. James wanted to chase her away, but she sat and talked to us for a while. Apparently, my evil mother-in-law bragged to her at the time that she chased her out of James life, that she had done this to every girlfriend of James and would do it for his life. The comment she made at the time was that James' role was to care for her for life and she would make sure he never left her."

Susan, responded "That witch, I cannot believe that she had done that."

"She has no idea. James and I are going to keep the house for a while but have decided that we will not come back for at least three years. We do not want to deal with her, and all her drama."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.readwn.comfor visiting.

Before anyone else could say anything, they had arrived at the day spa, and were shown into their various treatment rooms, before the hairdressers and beauticians started their tasks getting them already for the photo shot along the Great Ocean Road.
