Chapter 222 Isabella’s Status
The next day, when Isabella went downstairs, she saw Shawn and Kyla welcoming her warmly. Not only that, but even Kim was also very friendly to Isabella.
“Mrs. Lockwood, it’s our fault for not being thorough yesterday and offending you. This is a small token of our apology. I hope you won’t refuse us.”
Kyla handed over a gift bag with both hands with a smile. Isabella took a look and saw that it was a very exquisite jewelry box.
There should be jewelry inside.
However, Isabella did not take it. Isabella walked to the sofa and sat down. She smiled and said, “I understand your intentions, Mrs. Langley. But there’s no need for the gift.”
Shawn and Kyla immediately looked uneasy. They looked in the direction of Kim for help.
Kim said, “Isabella, are you hating me?”
Isabella looked at Kim in surprise and said, “Aunt Kim, why do you say that?”
“Then why don’t you accept their gift? Shawn and Kyla are just straightforward. They don’t mean anything else.”
Isabella said, “Aunt Kim, what position are you in by saying that? The daughter of the Langley family or the daughter–in–law of the Lockwood family?
“If it’s the former, it’s my fault then.
“But if it’s the latter, I don’t think it has much to do with you whether I accept their gift or not.”
Isabella’s words were not polite at all.
No matter how many words Kim wanted to say, they were all held back in her heart at this moment. Kim’s face was gloomy.
Shawn and Kyla’s faces were also especially gloomy.
Cressida stared at Isabella and clenched her fists tightly.
Cressida was jealous of Isabella and hated her at the same time.
Seeing that her parents and aunt were so embarrassed that they didn’t know what to say, Cressida could only find a topic to break the awkwardness.
Cressida said to the silent Elodia, “Elodia, why do you always keep silent? Hurry up and have a good chat
with Isabella.
“Show that gift to Isabella. She might like it.”
Cressida spoke in the tone of command.
Elodia did not say anything. She hesitated for a moment and felt that Cressida’s words were wrong.
Isabella narrowed her eyes slightly and saved Elodia from her dilemma. “Miss Langley, isn’t it a little improper for you to call me so intimately?”
Of course, Isabella knew that in Cressida’s heart, Isabella was her sister–in–law, and that was why Cressida called Isabella so intimately. But why did Isabella have to acknowledge Cressida as a cousin for Draxton?
Isabella’s words this time were even more impolite.
Cressida’s face stiffened and her eyes were filled with embarrassment.
Shawn and Kyla were even more at a loss.
Isabella looked at Elodia and asked with a smile, “Elodia, did you sleep well last night?”
Kim was not a fool. She could naturally tell that Isabella was doing this to raise Elodia’s status.
Kim immediately smiled and said, “It seems that you two get along very well. Elodia, you have to get along well with Isabella. You’re both young people and have common topics.”
