After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 821

Chapter 821

Darius's mother could tell from the old Mrs. Foster's unfriendly expression what was on her mind.

She smiled slightly, trying to smooth things over. "Mom, you know Darius is not a reckless child. He must have checked it out before..."

"You can't say that," sneered Madam Gisselle, Darius's aunt. "Our Darius is the CEO of an airline company and used to be on par with Franklin in NorthWind Airlines and SouthStar Airlines. How many socialites wanted to marry into our family? Now he brings back a woman with a child... from some backward place like Middle Evroya? I really don't think so."

Madam Karina listened as Madam Gisselle continued her mocking tone and felt angry inside.

Darius was already getting older but still didn't have a girlfriend.

She was excited when he finally brought home a girl - one who even had his granddaughter with her!

Now not only did the old Mrs. Foster disapprove but Madam Gisselle also kept making snide remarks right in front of them.

The more she listened, the angrier she became but couldn't lose her temper in front of everyone.

All she could do was smile awkwardly and try to get Madam Gisselle to stop talking by changing topics, "Hey, Madam Gisselle, I heard your daughter June is dating someone now? A celebrity? Not that I'm saying anything bad about celebrities but they're usually fickle-minded people, right? Our Foster family has such high status; it wouldn't be good for June if she dated someone like that."

Madam Gisselle's face stiffened at this comment but quickly put on a smile again. "June is just playing around; she wants someone better than her brother Darius! How could any celebrity match up?"

"Darius has some pretty good friends though. Logan and some young CEOs from his company like Jasper who comes from the Howlett family," said Madam Karina sweetly. "You know Longevity Pharmaceuticals, right? Logan is their CEO."

"I know Mr. Mertens..." replied Madam Giselle awkwardly since she had previously tried introducing herself through intermediaries without success when trying to set up June with Logan before.

Madam Karina clearly knows about Logan, but she refuses to say anything else. Madam Gisselle feels uneasy, as if her face has been slapped hard by Madam Karina's words. Logan doesn't even want to see her daughter, and Madam Gisselle hasn't dared to tell anyone in the Foster family about it.

How did Karina find out? Karina's son controls the entire NorthWind Airlines, while the second branch is just a high-level executive. Especially with Darius at the helm - such an outstanding leader - it's difficult for anyone in the second branch to make a name for themselves.

Normally, Madam Gisselle doesn't agree with the first branch's decisions and now that Darius has a daughter of his own, there is no hope for her daughter. She can only watch from afar and laugh at herself.

Madam Karina retaliates against Madam Gisselle's comments by suggesting that Mr. Mertens is generous and handsome; if Darius cannot help June get together with him then perhaps Jasper would be interested instead since he owes Franklin his life after being saved years ago.

The old Mrs. Foster agrees that June is beautiful and talented enough to marry any man she wants; however, when Madam Gisselle mentions Mr. Mertens having a girlfriend already, she seems surprised as she had never heard this before from Darius himself.

Madame Karina continues smiling sweetly, despite knowing what was really going on between Logan and their family. This makes Madame Giselle feel like crying again because of how much this woman enjoys making fun of them all behind their backs, without any remorse or guilt whatsoever!

"This matter is settled then. When Darius comes back, he will introduce Mr. Mertens to June. If Mr. Mertens doesn't work out, then Jasper will do. Both of these young men are highly sought after talents," declared the old Mrs. Foster.

However, Madam Gisselle's face stiffened and her smile became forced upon hearing this.

Camille Foster had been listening on the sidelines without expressing any opinions. She was Darius and Aedan's aunt, and while the two sisters-in-law were constantly at odds with each other, Camille secretly got along well with Madam Gisselle but felt some distance from the main family for some reason.

She poured a cup of tea for the old Mrs. Foster and handed it to her, saying, "Mom, have some tea." Then she proceeded to pour tea for both sisters-in-law as well.

The old Mrs. Foster asked "Camille, can that woman come into our home?" not even bothering to call Isabelle by name anymore - just referring to her as 'that woman'.

Camille glanced at Madam Karina before smiling and saying, "Mom, isn't it inappropriate for me to evaluate someone who could potentially be my niece-in-law?"

"What's inappropriate about it? Whether or not she can become a member of the Foster family is not up to Darius alone! I'm still alive!" exclaimed the old Mrs. Foster slamming her teacup onto the table heavily.
