Dominant Boss: Call Me Hubby, My Dear novel Chapter 22

The Lawrence family's manor.

Alexander personally went over to welcome Fourth Master Swan. The rest of the people also rushed over.

In an instant, Fourth Master Swan became the center of attention.

Jeanne held on to her son's hand and directly walked to the side.

Fourth Master Swan seemed to have taken a glance in that direction, but it also seemed to be an illusion.

In another corner of the hall.

A few women were muttering softly.

"Octavia, Jeanne was deliberately making you and your grandson look bad," a woman gossipped, "I've never seen someone who embarrasses her future mother-in-law.

I'm afraid she'll step on your head after she gets married to your son in the future."

"That's right. Jeanne is too much. She didn't give you any face at all..."

Octavia was already displeased, to begin with. She looked grimmer after hearing what those women said.

She had deliberately let her grandson perform on such an occasion to compare him with George. She wanted to make George appear useless and to vent her anger at the party last time! It never occurred to her that George, that unremarkable illegitimate child, was a piano genius. The thought of her grandson being outclassed by an

illegitimate child made her even angrier!

"That said, I really didn't expect that son of Jeanne to be so capable. I thought he was just a good-for-nothing," a woman added.

"Yeah, I was also stunned. Oh right, did you see? Even Fourth Master Swan gave him a round of applause just now."

"I saw. Fourth Master Swan is such a cold and aloof person, yet he applauded for a child... I'm afraid that Eldest Young Lady Lawrence will become more arrogant..."

When Octavia heard their conversation, she almost flew into a rage.

She looked fierce.

'No matter what, I'll teach Jeanne a lesson!;

In a corner of the hall.

Monica quickly rushed to Jeanne from the entrance, "Jeannie."

Jeannie could not stand Monica's enthusiasm.

So did George.

Monica tried her best to pick up George and said excitedly, "Godson, you made me so excited just now. How can you be so amazing? How can your fingers be so flexible?"

Jeanne looked at Monica speechlessly. She looked at her lifeless son.

"Godmother, put me down." George was very cold.

Monica also found it hard to carry George. She put him down and turned her head to look at Jeanne seriously. "1 think I misunderstood you before."

Jeanne frowned.

'Was Monica always incoherent when she spoke?!'

"You didn't come back to be trampled on. You came back to shine," Monica said confidently.

Jeanne smiled faintly. "Whatever you say..."

Her voice became softer.

Monica followed Jeanne's gaze and turned around. She saw Fourth Master Swan.

He was walking over with Teddy.

Apart from Teddy, there was also Finn and...

"Nox," Fourth Master Swan suddenly said.

Jeanne frowned.

'I didn't say anything. Can he read minds?!'

"You called for me?" Nox, who was next to Fourth Master Swan, was confused.
