She looked at Christine and said with an icy tone, "Mrs. Nixon, it's been a while."
Before Christine came, she heard that Max was dating an actress and keeping her in the villa.
She always looked down upon women in the show business and thought most of the actresses were gold diggers.
If her son was just playing around, she wouldn't care or meddle.
But she heard this morning that Max was serious about this relationship.
He not only made no secret of their relationship, but also bought her a villa, looking like he got his heart set on living with this woman.
It provoked Christine.
It seemed that a crisis was brewing. She knew that his son was hard to be persuaded.
Maybe she could stay out of his other business, but she must interfere in his marriage.
That was why she rush over so early in the morning.
She had a million theories about the woman her son fell for.
Of course, she knew Laura Davis before.
After all, adjutant Davis had been in the Nixon family for more than a decade and did not leave Eqitin until Laura Davis was about ten.
Later, Laura became a successful actress. Although Christine recognized her, she did not think better of her.
Adjutant Davis, after all, was also a thorn in her side. Now that he was dead, so what if his daughter became a famous star?
Laura was just an actress. There were too many actresses who want to marry a rich man and yet few were truly happy.
The thought made her despise Laura even more.
She sneered, "It's you! If I'd known, then I would not come so early. "
Laura threw a faint smile and looked at her without any fear.
"I wonder if there's something urgent? Aunt Nixon."
Christine softened her tone a little and came to take Laura's hand.
"Well... I heard that Max is hooking up with an easy girl."
"You know, Max has a lot of wild oats to sow. It gives me a headache whenever I think of this."
"That's why I got here so early. Anyway, I can't allow my son to hurt those nice girls, right?"
"If he hooks up with an easy girl, that's OK. But it will be awful if it's a good girl. You know."
Everyone in the living room couldn't help but look at each other, puzzled.
Laura was the only one who remained calm throughout.
Because she knew that this was just a beginning.
Christine continued her speech with a smile, "But you are here. Big surprise!"
Laura made a faint smile and held Christine's hand, emotionless.
"Mrs. Nixon, what's so surprised? Is it me? Or are you surprised that I'm now someone that has to be kept by a man?"
She asked with a raised tone ironically.
