Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband novel Chapter 11

At the main house of the Morris’s old mansion…

Gianna paused and continued, “Oh yes, I guess the reason granny asked me to come back is because of me and Caesar’s marriage?”

Joanna was startled and she clearly did not expect her to guess it out.

Gianna certainly did not experience that in her previous life, after all, what happened last night did not happen in her previous life, and naturally there were not the news and hot topic today. The reason she could hit the bulls-eye was that the people from the old mansion had been secretly colluding with the Kennedy’s, and they conspired to seize her father’s right of inheritance through the Kennedy’s.

Since Gianna had embarrassed the Kennedy’s now, Joanna certainly had to teach her a lesson for the Kennedy’s.

It was just that she did not expect that Gianna was no longer easy to be bullied now and her few words had made her face flushed like never before.

“I’ll be frank to tell you that I had indeed received a jewel from Kingsley Walker last night and embarrassed Caesar in front of everyone.” As she spoke, she took out the dazzling sapphire.

The jewel shone with great brilliancy. With its impeccable cutting, long history and rareness, every woman would go mad for it. Even Joanna could not help but take a few glances at it.

However, her face was brimmed with contempt. “I can’t believe you’re that shameless to say that, what a barefaced brat!”

“I have my reasons when I received the jewel. Firstly, we Morris’s are merchants, and a merchant won’t decline anything that falls into his lap, therefore I have no reason to reject Kingsley’s offer. Secondly, I knew very well that granny is a jewel collector. I knew granny would love this jewel the moment I saw it, therefore if it’s not because of Caesar stopping me, I would have bought it. But, although I didn’t manage to get it since Kingsley is willing to give it to me, I’ll take it with delight.”

Joanna still did not understand what she meant completely.

Gianna then said, “I wanted to give this jewel to granny in the first place.”

Joanna’s eyes gleamed a little.

She was clearly moved.

She had heard about that jewel from others before, yet knowing that she would be incapable to get it, she never talked about it. Now that it had shown up before her, it was impossible for her to stay calm and ignore it.

“Didn’t Aunt Juliet ask my mom whether we’ve brought a present for granny? We did. But unfortunately…” Gianna let out a smile. “Granny said you won’t appreciate anything we brought.”

Joanna was totally backfired by her words at that moment.

She wanted to further persuade her, but she swallowed her words.

It was obvious Gianna did not give her any chance to regret it.

She glared straight at Gianna, and the magnificent sapphire between her fingers. She was itching to get it.

“Stop bragging here, will you! Is mother-in-law such a shallow person?” Juliet chimed in to make herself look more powerful.

Joanna shot her a glare.

She really could not do anything right besides making the situation worse!

Gianna could tell just by looking at Joanna’s face that she was now mortified as hell. She probably would not expect that she would give her jewel as a gift.

Seeing that she had truly brought the jewel here now, she had to believe that she did intend to give it to her just now.

She must have gone unhappier the more she thought about it.

Gianna quickly spoke, “You’re right, Aunt Juliet, how would granny be that shallow? She would never go against her words.”

“Certainly!” Juliet replied.

Joanna’s look was so gloomy that her face was going to turn livid.
