At this point, he finally let out a cold laugh, “As a person, don’t think of yourself as clever, it can lead to unintended consequences.” 

After speaking, he bit his lower lip, with deep intentions. 

In this room, only Robert, a fool, felt that Cathy had just helped Cersei. 

She only wanted to completely take away Harvey’s custody rights, to separate them! 

Not only was it shameful, but also cruel! 

Cersei’s perspective 

I got into the car with my child. 

Once seated in the car, I didn’t say a word to her. 

My children always paid attention to my attitude towards them, and now she looked at me silently, unable to help but tug at my sleeve. 

“Mom, I was wrong.” 

“Tell me, where were you wrong?” My tone wasn’t heavy, but my expression was serious. 

My daughter bowed her head, “I shouldn’t have broken their precious vase.” 

As she said this, the little girl bit her lip tightly, her eyes cast downward. 

There was a hint of moisture in her eyes. 

Seeing my child like this, my heart ached a little. 

I hugged her close to me. 

“You were truly wrong, not properly protecting yourself.” 

My daughter looked up, not understanding, looking at me with round eyes. 

I suggested, “When you broke the vase, did you think about your own safety? If you got hurt by the broken pieces, what would you do?” 

The vase could be replaced, but if she got injured, it would leave a permanent scar. 

“Remember, no matter what situation you’re in, protect your safety to the best of your ability.” 

“Yes.” My daughter knew that I was upset because I cared about her well–being, and her little heart warmed. 

Seeing my daughter sincerely apologize, I gently patted her little head, “This time it’s also Mom’s fault, for not protecting you well.” 

“Mom, don’t blame yourself, you’ve treated me very well.” My daughter loved me deeply. 

“But really, Iris doesn’t like Grandma Blanchel’s house, she’s too mean and Grandma Blanchel is too cold.” 

When mentioning the Blanchel family’s home, Iris’s small body couldn’t fail to shudder. 

Seeing Iris’s terrified expression, I thought back to the images I had seen in the livestream room. 

Diana’s treatment of Iris, there was no trace of affection as she would have for a granddaughter, it was like dealing with an enemy. 

“Don’t worry, Iris, from now on, Mom won’t let you experience such things anymore.” I stroked Iris’s small hair and made a promise. 

Iris had never slept well at the Blanchel family’s home, but as soon as she returned to my side, her nerves relaxed completely.

No long after, her eyelids began to fight. 

in a blink of an eye, she fell into a deep sleep. 

Looking at the exhausted little body in my arms, I held her tightly. 

Holding her even fighter. 

On the way, Fredrica and John called one after another, asking about Iris’s situation. 

Even Thomas sent a message to inquire. 

They had seen Iris’s cry for help in the livestream room. 

“It’s okay, Iris is out of there, she’s in the car with me,” I said. 

“The Blanchel family truly lacks humanity!” Fredrica, who had the most fiery temper among the three, had the strongest reaction. 

“They did that to Iris, and I saw it in the livestream room, I felt sorry for her, and… these despicable people, we definitely can’t let them go!” 

“They dared to hurt Iris, we’ll make them experience the pain too!” 

I rubbed my forehead lightly. 

“For now, I just want to fight for custody of Iris. Even though she has been hurt, it also made Pamela willing to give up custody. Let’s leave it at that for 

now.” 

It’s not that I didn’t care about Iris. 

But there were too many things that couldn’t be done at the same time. 

Despite not being able to bear this, I could only choose the best way to resolve it for Iris’s future. 

Upon hearing that Pamela had signed the agreement to give up custody, Fredrica’s anger subsided. 

“Cersei, you did the right thing. We can’t let Iris suffer because of their anger. Let’s go home quickly, I’ll cook a nice meal to welcome you.” 

“Okay.” 

After hanging up, I felt a warmth in my heart. 

Although we were no longer married, I had many friends who cared about me and Iris. 

When my car arrived at my residence, Fredrica was standing outside wearing a scarf. 

Iris had just woken up, her eyes still hazy. 

Fredrica carefully hugged her in her arms and kissed her nonstop, “Our family’s child has been hurt.” 

“Not hurt.” Iris shook her head innocently, returning the kiss on Fredrica’s face, not forgetting to look at me, “Mom saved me from there.” 

“You’re a good girl, let’s go upstairs.” Fredrica carried Iris towards the gate. 

At this moment, my gaze didn’t shift, fixed to a certain point. 

There, an image appeared. 

A tall and thin figure, with sharp facial features and piercing eyes. 

He was also looking at me. 

After a while, Fredrica noticed that I wasn’t following, so she turned back and called me.

This time when I turned my head, I also saw that person. 

It would have been better not to see him, but now that I had, Fredrica’s radiant face quickly turned into a look of disgust, as if looking at feces. 

In the blink of an eye, she ran over to the man, standing in front of him, “Hey, this is Cersei’s home, we don’t welcome you!” 

Harvey’s cold gaze faced Fredrica’s anger, as if her anger had no effect on him. 

Then, his gaze fell on Iris. 

Iris huddled uncomfortably, wanting to avoid any contact with him. 

Fredrica didn’t want to pay attention to him. She hugged Iris and pushed me inside, “Let’s go!” 

For a second, I didn’t want to have any contact with him either. 

“I came to find you.” Harvey finally spoke, his gaze locked onto me. 

“You two are divorced, there’s nothing more to say!” Fredrica stood up strong to protect me. 

Harvey gritted his teeth and looked at me, showing no intention of backing down. 

The surrounding police officers noticed the tension and many of them looked over. 

I didn’t want Iris to become the center of attention for everyone, so I pushed Fredrica, saying, “Take Iris inside.” 

“But you…” 

“I’ll talk to him and come upstairs later.” I knew Fredrica was worried and conveyed a reassuring look to her. 

Fredrica also sensed Iris’s resistance towards Harvey and no longer insisted. 

Before leaving, she reminded me, “If he dares to give you trouble, call me!” 

After Fredrica and Iris went upstairs, I turned back to look at Harvey with a faint smile, “What’s the matter? Speak up.” 

Harvey’s face tightened, becoming even worse when he saw Iris trying to stay away from him. 

“Did you force my mother to sign the agreement giving up custody of Iris?” Without beating around the bush, he asked directly. 

I replied coldly with a single “Yes.” 

This matter, sooner or later, Harvey would find out. 

“This is good for you and Cathy.” 

“Whether it’s good or not for me, I’ll decide for myself, not you!” Harvey angrily interrupted. 

His words were hard to hear and poorly expressed. 

I no longer maintained a pleasant expression for him, curling up a corner of my lips, “Well, let’s talk about what’s good or not for Iris. I am her mother, and it’s my decision whether she’s doing well or not!” 

“I let you take care of Iris, but you’re trying to take advantage, even depriving her of her rights, acknowledging her father, acknowledging her grandmother, acknowledging her biological mother. Is that good for her?” Harvey’s mood was terrible, and his tone was venomous. 

Throughout our marriage, he had never spoken so harshly to me. 

Now, after the divorce, every word, every letter, felt like a knife, a hatred that couldn’t kill me! 

In Harvey’s mind, I was a troublemaker!

Hearing these words, I just gave a cold laugh, “Deprive? Harvey, you sound so frightening saying these words, making it easy to turn you into the 

Victim 

“Before you say such things, maybe you should go home and ask your mother, your sister, why I would want to take them away? And they’re not fools. Why would they let me do it on my own!” 

“No matter the reason, the child cannot be separated from the Blanchel family!” Harvey’s attitude was resolute, with no intention of understanding 

the reasons. 

Initially, I wanted you to temporarily take care of the child. 

It was you who had crossed the limit, so don’t blame me for being cold–hearted!
