Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband novel Chapter 10

The Morris’s old mansion was not situated in Kouby City.

It was situated in a town outside the suburban area and the old mansion basically occupied half of the town area.

A lot of towns had lost their original looks due to exploitation, only the town where the Morris’s old mansion located still kept all its quaint buildings.

There were property developers who wanted to purchase the old mansion in the first place too, and they certainly could not reach a consensus regarding the price. The place naturally became a “getaway paradise”. Since the urban planning bureau found it impossible to exploit there, they came up with a great idea to make it a tourist spot, and they did successfully attract many tourists. The main gate of the old mansion had frequently appeared on internet celebrities’ Weibo pages and the place gradually became a spot for internet celebrities to take pictures and post on social media.

Gianna and Fiona went past the vermillion gate and entered the Morris’s old mansion.

A huge yard showed up before them. After going across the yard, there was a fake hill with a brook, and a pond full of lotus leaves. They walked past a small green bridge, several lanes and around many quaint houses of different variations. They then saw a lofty gate. The main house of the mansion was situated right behind the gate. The main house looked utmost majestic and grand with its delicate sculptures and buildings.

Meanwhile, the only elder of the Morris’s, Joanna was sitting in the middlemost spot of the main house and she looked terrible.

Abbott and his family were sitting at both sides.

Abbott actually had his own villa in the city, yet to show that he was a good son, he let the whole family move back to the old mansion in recent years. He had indeed tried his very best to demonstrate his loyalty towards his mother!

Gianna looked around and greeted her. “Good afternoon, granny.”

“I only ask you to come, why did you let her follow?” Joanna did not intend to be kind to her at all and she straightaway chastised her. “Why, are you scared that I’ll bully you!”

“Of course not, mother. It’s just that after knowing you’ve asked Gina to come here, and it’s been so long not seeing you, I want to visit you,” Fiona quickly explained.

“Why, Fiona, I didn’t see you prepare any gift when you pay your visit here. How sincere!” Juliet teased and her face was full of contempt.

Gianna turned and glanced at her.

She cooperated with her when she helped her to criticize Gemma back then, yet she instantly changed her attitude when she wanted to gain the old lady’s favor.

“Who says we didn’t prepare any gift for granny?” Gianna retorted.

“Then where’s the gift? Take it out!” Juliet sounded aggressive.

Fiona felt slightly awkward.

Due to the rush, she did not make too many considerations before coming.

She did feel a little embarrassed when they were questioned like that.

She tossed Gianna a look, wanting her to endure it.

Fiona had always endured Joanna and the family’s rude attitude whenever she encountered them.

As Gianna was going to speak, Joanna chimed in, “Who would appreciate her thing!”

Gianna pursed her lips and said straightforwardly, “Is there anything granny wants me to do here? If not, I’ll have to leave and stop wasting our time.”

She held her mother’s arm and was ready to leave.

“You stand there!” Joanna bawled. “Did I agree to let you leave? What a rude brat, you’re indeed raised by an uneducated slut. You don’t even know the basic etiquette!”

She was clearly teasing Fiona’s family background.

Gianna indeed felt sad when she heard that. She had seen the rim of her mother’s eyes red when she returned from the Morris’s old mansion many times. It was just that to avoid making her father feel troubled and to maintain the peace of the family, she chose to endure everything.

Yet reality showed that not only her endurance did not bring any benefit, but it had also aggravated Joanna’s demeaning and mocking behavior towards her mother.
