My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 660

Chapter 660

Once Penelope was out of hearing range, Matilda tentatively said to Bianca, “Mrs. Yates, you know that...”

Bianca sighed. “Maybe it's because I lost my daughter at a young age and she never grew up with me around that I always feel as if there's a wall between us. If they want to go back to H Nation, they should go. If I let them do as they wish, maybe they'll think of me as someone good.”

Bianca always felt that the daughter she finally got back was very unlike her and the count.

Maybe it's because she didn't get to grow up in a good family in H Nation. She was raised as someone ordinary, so there's nothing she's particularly good at. It's the same for her daughter, Penelope. My daughter's short-sighted, and my granddaughter's a master of none. Among the socialites, they're... I don't know what to say about them. They have no skills in fine arts, let alone master any of the fine arts.

Back when Bianca finally took them in, she had been overjoyed. She had wished she could tell the whole world about the delightful news.

However, they would have to report to the king about the return of the count's daughter. After that, they would have to deal with the complicated procedures of including her in the family tree and whatnot.

The more Bianca learned about Mary and Penelope, the more the initial happiness Bianca felt dissipated.

Eventually, they never put the mother-and-daughter duo into the family tree, and the matter was gradually dismissed.

Perhaps that was something Bianca would only do when her mood changed for the better.

At the start, Bianca loved bringing Penelope and Mary out to gatherings. She wanted her peers to see that she, too, had a daughter and a granddaughter.

However, when she realized that all the mother-and-daughter duo did was embarrass her, Bianca became reluctant to let them meet the other rich women.

With that thought in mind, Bianca let out a sigh.

“It's really as if she's not my daughter.”

When Matilda saw the disappointed look on Bianca's face, she quickly consoled, “Not everyone can be as excellent as you were when you were younger. Even if your blood is flowing in her, she might not have inherited your traits, so don't be too upset, Mrs. Yates.”

“It's fine. Just let them be.” Bianca sighed. “Come, let's end this game of chess.”

The movie that Fraser Corporation and Haddock Group invested in was doomed because of Helena. Its reputation had plummeted into the abyss.

Helena's incident also affected the director Frank, but he managed to cover up the scandal.
