Tanya: “???”
Nora: “???”
Everyone in the room could hear the disdain hidden in Sue’s words.
What did she mean by saying that Tanya’s status had risen because she had given birth to Joel’s child?!
She was clearly refusing to acknowledge Tanya’s status!
Who would bring up someone else’s humiliating childhood events in front of other people?
The look in Nora’s eyes turned cold, and she threw the bangle onto the coffee table, producing a crisp clang.
However, it was as if Sue hadn’t sensed anything at all. She went on and said, “Joel, I heard that the two of you started dating in junior high and only broke up when you graduated from college? To think the two of you can still get together even after five years of separation… and that you can still hold your daughter in your arms. Tanya, you must feel very blissful to be able to live in such a big house, right?”
The look in Tanya’s eyes turned even colder. She wanted to pull her hand out of the woman’s grip, but Sue kept holding her hand tightly. “People mustn’t forget their roots. Tanya, it was the Joneses who fed you and brought you up. Now that you have married into a rich family… let’s not talk about repaying their kindness anymore, but at the very least, you mustn’t be an ingrate, right?”
Tanya narrowed her eyes. “I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, Mrs. Smith.”
Joel also got up abruptly. His expression turned cold and he said, “Tanya, why don’t you go upstairs and take a look at the child? Mia seems to be calling out for you.”
Then, he looked at Sue and said, “Grandaunt Sue, how rare of you to visit us today. If you have something to say, then why don’t you speak with me instead?”
Joel was still smiling, but he had completely unleashed his powerful aura.
Tanya breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn’t want to argue with people from the older generation of the Smiths. After all, it was very awkward for her to be living here at the moment.
She and Joel weren’t married, but because she couldn’t bear to be apart from her daughter—besides, she had only just been reunited with her—she could only stay at the Smiths’.
It was very embarrassing for her every time the nannies addressed her as “Ms. Turner”.
Yet she couldn’t be so hypocritical as to bring up leaving.
Karl was still in New York. What if Jill got him to send people to take revenge on her?
At the very least, before the DNA report was out, there was no way she could leave the Smith manor.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, her actions were no different from how Hillary had so shamelessly insisted on living with the Smiths back then. Some people would undoubtedly look down on her!
