Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 417

“Helena, how could you allow such an impolite girl to stay by your side?” Mrs. Fletcher frowned and asked.

Mrs. Chambers glanced over Savannah, who was clearly afraid of her, and replied deliberately, “Madeleine is a lovely girl. I have made up my mind to let her be my goddaughter.”

Mrs. Fletcher also glanced at Savannah subconsciously and remarked, “Helena, have you lost your mind? How can you let an unrelated outsider to be your goddaughter while chasing your own daughter from hone and cutting her living expenses? You must be crazy. No wonder Savannah would find Cora for help in aggrievedly. I will consider you go too far this time even if I were you. She’s your own daughter. Don’t you have compassion for her?”

Mrs. Chambers showed a complex expression. Madeleine also felt weird because she originally thought it was Savannah who didn’t want to meet Ophelia everyday and moved away by herself. She never expected that Savannah was chases out by her mother.

However, why would Mrs. Chambers chase her out?

Madeleine got confused.

Mrs. Chambers comforted Tommy in her arms and answered, “Savannah is already in her twentieth. It’s time for her to be independent to practice. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. The young people should be more diligent. I don’t care how much she could earn. I just want her to make up a living.”

Mrs. Fletcher laughed out and remarked sarcastically, “Helena, that’s the biggest joke I have ever heard. Why would the young mistress from the Chambers family swallow her pride and get a low-paid job? If others know, people from the upper class will definitely make fun of you.”

Mrs. Chambers turned a deaf ear to her words.

Mr. Fletcher looked at his wife disapprovingly and hinted her to stop talking.

“Helena, my wife is thoughtless. Don’t blame her. I come here to see Tommy today. I am really upset for you to invite others except the Fletcher family. I have known each other for decades. There is no need to cut off contact simply because of some tiny misunderstandings. It’s such a pity.” Mr. Fletcher remarked sincerely.

Mrs. Chambers handed Tommy to Madeleine and replied, “Bradwen, you know the reason why I didn’t invite you. Today is Tommy’s first month’s party. I don’t want to make it awkward because some people’s arrival. Although it has been five years for what happened between Cora and Zachariah, people from the upper class still take delight in talking about it. I don’t want those rumours hurt the marriage of my son and daughter-in-law. I wish you can understand it.”

Mrs. Fletcher smiled sarcastically.

“Helena, do you think the Fletcher family can afford the price to shame ourselves? Cora has done so much for Zachariah. She had an abortion and tried suicide. How could Zachariah erase her damage simply by saying they are not suitable? You’re even worse than your son. You are trying to blame everything on Cora. Do you think the Fletcher family is a soft touch?” Mrs. Fletcher remarked sharply.

Madeleine wanted to argue. However, Mrs. Chambers stopped her. She looked at Mr. Fletcher and noted, “Bradwen, many of my friends from the business sector and political circle have come and every one of them is powerful. I don’t care whether you want to have a fight here or not. Zachariah is a man who already has a family. The others could only judge his early behaviour as impulsive, but Cora will be different. Although men and women are equal in the modern world, people still hold a biased opinion for the mistress. If everybody knows what Cora has done, her fame will be ruined and it will be hard for her to get married. Don’t blame everything on our family if that turns out to be true.”

“Helena, you took it wrong. We’re only here today to see Tommy. We have been friends for years. I will not put the Chambers family into an awkward position. Don’t think me as that kind of person.” Mr. Fletcher noted in an apologizing tone.

After he finished his speech, Mrs. Fletcher hurriedly argued, “Bradwen, it is Cora who gets blamed. I will not easily let the thing go if you put our daughter into embarrassment simply because of your so-called friendship.”
