The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 53

Reese’s voice shook so hard she could barely get the words out. The tears finally broke loose, streaming down her face and landing on the photo she clutched to her chest.

“My mom is gone! Why can’t you just leave her things alone? Why do you have to take the last bit of her I have left?!”

Her eyes were wild. They were sharp as broken glass, burning with a fury that made Grace and Sofia stumble back. For a second, it looked like she might actually explode.

“Reese, calm down.”

Sebastian stood at the top of the steps, looking down at her like she was some stranger causing trouble.

“Go home. We’ll talk when you’ve calmed down.”

“Talk? What’s there left to say?”

Reese let out a laugh that sounded more like a sob. “Sebastian, Grace, you just made me your enemy. I’ll never forgive you.”

Grace shrank back, rattled by the look in Reese’s eyes. “Someone call the police! Reese has lost it—she’s going to hurt us!”

Her hands shook as she grabbed her phone and dialed 911.

Sebastian tried to stop her but he was too late. His voice went flat and cold.

“You’re rushing things. We agreed. Reese would come pick up her mom’s things before anyone touched the house.”

“Sebastian, that’s not fair.” Sofia reached for his arm but he pulled away, his eyes flashing with a hint of hurt.

“When we signed the paperwork, Dylon said they’d pick up everything within three days. But nobody showed. We thought maybe they didn’t want the old stuff anymore, so we started clearing it out. It’s not like we knew she’d show up like this—”

“So now it’s my fault?” Reese’s voice was all poison as she glared at Sofia. “You transferred the house behind my back. You tossed my mom’s things like they were garbage. You smashed her portrait. And you never even asked me.”

“Who called the police?”

Footsteps sounded at the gate, sirens fading as two officers stepped inside.

“I did!” Grace called out, pointing at Reese, who was still on her knees in the dirt. “Officer, she broke into our yard and tried to attack my daughter! Please—arrest her before she hurts someone!”

Reese looked up at the officers, but when she saw Roman, she quickly looked away.
