The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374 Betty Taking Her Leave

Jocelyn pulled Betty into her arms again while Betty obediently allowed Jocelyn to caress her like a doll. “Baby, were you scared just now?” Jocelyn kissed the tip of Betty’s nose and asked gently.

Betty shook her head and said furiously, “Betty is not a coward. Grandma Grey did the right thing. Grandma Grey is the best!”

Jocelyn’s red lips curled up happily. Then, she said, “But you secretly praised Grandpa Jaye, saying he was the best last time. There was this one time when I heard you praising Grandpa Lyons. And last time…” Betty blushed and avoided eye contact like a guy who was caught cheating. She said sweetly, “No, no. Grandma Grey, you must have misheard me. You are the best. Betty loves Grandma Grey the most!”

As she spoke, she gave Jocelyn a kiss. Jocelyn immediately narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. At this moment, she felt so blissfull

Isabella narrowed her eyes and looked at them. She looked amused. Betty would definitely be good at coaxing people when she grew up. She could already imagine how many boys would fall for her sweet words

Seeing that Jocelyn was only playing with the child and not casting them a glance, the Grey family stood rooted to the ground, feeling awkward.

However, they could not bear to leave at all.

Zachary and Hayden’s wives were so shocked by today’s events that their minds went blank.

Zachary had never met Jocelyn before. His hatred for Jocelyn was influenced by his grandfather and father. However, that feeling was not firm. He wasn’t affected by the Delusion Bug. As long as he had a clear mind, -he would know how to make a judgment.

Therefore, after Cecilia exposed her true colors and revealed the truth, he no longer had any ill feelings toward Jocelyn. Instead, he felt curious and sympathetic.

More than 20 years ago, Hayden married his wife. She didn’t spend much time with Jocelyn, so there was no conflict between her and Jocelyn. Patriarch Grey, Hayden, and Cecilia were the ones who spread malicious rumors about her.

As the daughter-in-law who married into the Grey family, she naturally had no thoughts about Jocelyn. Patriarch Grey and Hayden were different.

Their emotions had already calmed down, but the calmer they were, the crueler the truth was. It was so painful that their internal organs felt numb.

Hayden looked at Jocelyn and thought, “Once upon a time, I also felt sorry for my sister. When my father punished her and made her kneel in the ancestral hall when she was young, I even secretly sent her food.”

When he was young, his heart was pure. He loved his sister a lot.

However, when Cecilia came later, he became colder toward Jocelyn under Cecilia’s instigation. Soon, they grew further apart.

“Jocelyn…” Hayden called out sadly.

Jocelyn acted as if she did not hear him or care at all. She was totally ignoring him.

Landon looked at Jocelyn with heartache. He was also very furious at the Grey family. Disappointed, he approached Patriarch Grey and Hayden before saying, “Everyone, you should go back.”

Hayden grabbed Landon’s arm and said, “Landon, I know you are close to Jocelyn. Please persuade her. We… We know we were wrong. Please persuade her. We’re willing to make it up to her.”

Landon was silent. He smiled mockingly and said, “Mr. Grey, don’t persuade others to be kind without knowing how much they suffered. Everything that she has experienced is not something that can be made up for. This is between her and the Grey family. I won’t interfere.”

Hayden looked at Landon, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

He looked at Jocelyn dejectedly. Jocelyn did not even look at them.

Patriarch Grey stared at Jocelyn. At this moment, he seemed to have aged a lot. His entire body was

hunched. He looked at Jocelyn deeply and said hoarsely, “Hayden, let’s go.”

“Father!”

Hayden was shocked. He thought that his father would at least try to persuade his sister.
