Sorry for Your Loss It's Me I'm the Loss novel Chapter 742

At the same time, Letitia arrived back at the Bishop family home.

Marcia James and Mr. Bishop were in the dining room. Letitia dropped her bag, sat down across from her parents, and let out a long sigh.

“You’re back late. Things must have gone well with Mr. Taylor?” Marcia asked with a smile.

“Gone well? It’s a total lost cause,” Letitia grumbled, pulling a slim cigarette from her purse and lighting it, filling the air with smoke.

“We’re eating. You’re stinking up the whole room,” Marcia said, waving a hand in front of her face.

Letitia ignored her, taking another drag. “I’ve got some hot gossip for you. Bennett and Yvonne are about to get married.”

Marcia choked on her tea, sputtering. “Are you serious?”

“Of course. Mr. Taylor said it himself, and Mr. Thompson didn’t deny it,” Letitia said, exhaling a plume of smoke.

“Yvonne really knows how to play her cards, actually managing to marry into the Thompson family. Why couldn't Bennett have chosen my Letitia? Our daughter is just as good as that little vixen,” Marcia complained bitterly.

Mr. Bishop sighed. “You don’t understand men. They like women like Yvonne—young, innocent, and beautiful. She's the kind you marry and have kids with. A woman like Letitia… men just want to have some fun with her, not make her a wife.”

“How can you say that about our own daughter?” Marcia protested.

“I’m just telling the truth,” Mr. Bishop stated.

Marcia couldn’t argue with that. She frowned, a new worry taking hold.

“Yvonne is engaged to Mr. Bennett Thompson? How did I not know this?” Teresa asked, looking genuinely shocked.

Mr. James Sr. snatched a teacup from the table and hurled it at her.

“You’re her mother, and you didn't know your own daughter was engaged? I hear they’re about to get their license! This is a major alliance, and not a single person in this family knew about it. What good are any of you?!”

Teresa dodged the cup, but hot tea splashed all over her.

“Yvonne and I have never been close. I truly didn’t know she was engaged to Mr. Thompson,” she explained, looking flustered.

“If you don't know, then go ask! Isn’t she your daughter?” Mr. James Sr. roared. “You idiot! You dote on that other girl instead of your own flesh and blood. It’s no wonder Yvonne wants nothing to do with you.”
