Chapter 0018
In a marriage of convenience among the rich, it was common for the man to have a few mistresses. As long as it didn’t affect the wife’s status, it didn’t matter if they did.
As a mother, Evelyn wouldn’t interfere in such matters. Her words today. could be considered a promise to Miranda.
She expected Miranda to be grateful after what she’d said. However, Miranda scoffed instead.
Miranda said, “Mrs. Johnson, perhaps you should bless another soul with that offer. I don’t think it’s for me. Besides, I’ve broken up with Hansel. It’s best we treat each other as strangers from here on out.”
Previously, she’d tolerated Evelyn’s antics unconditionally for Hansel’s sake.
Evelyn lamented that Miranda wasn’t highly educated and had never studied abroad. She also disliked the fact that Miranda had been jobless after graduation. In a nutshell, she thought Miranda was unworthy of her precious
Son
If things had been the same as before, Miranda would’ve tried her best to please Evelyn. But now that she’d decided to cast Hansel aside, who was Evelyn to her?
How could she tolerate someone who degraded her so blatantly?
“Oh, right. Mrs. Johnson, here’s a suggestion.”
Evelyn looked at Miranda questioningly. The latter smiled. “You shouldn’t be so mean in the future because… you might end up with a black eye.
“Besides, the saying for what you meant earlier is ‘fine feathers do not make fine birds‘. You should note that down.”
Then, she casually turned and went into the library.
Evelyn stood rooted to the spot, her eyes widening in shock. “What did she say? H–How dare she speak to me like that? Who does she think she is? Does she even want to be Hansel’s wife?”
She grabbed Tina’s arm and shook it vigorously. Thanks to that, Tina snapped out of her stupor. She mumbled, “Mon did Miranda say she… has broken up with Hansel?”
Evelyn snorted. “Do you believe her?”
“You’re right. They’ve broken up so many times, yet they always get back together.”
After all, it was widely known that Miranda was head over heels in love with Hansel. She was like a loyal dog who’d never leave its owner.
Tina withdrew her gaze. “Mom, don’t forget what we’re here for. You’re supposed to accompany me to meet the college’s higher–ups.”
She checked the time. They’d be late if they dawdled any longer.
