The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 723

Chapter 723 Despicable Mistress

Tatiana was scared to the point of crying loudly, curling her petite figure up in Lily's arms, not daring to move or even look into Cayden's eyes.

The little girl was trembling, burrowing into her grandmother's arms, crying a river of tears and snot. The sight was enough to break Lily's heart.

Lily wore a gloomy expression, subtly casting a glance at Cayden. She indirectly scolded him, saying, “What a jinx you are! You just got back, and you've already scared my sweet granddaughter to tears. It would have been better if you hadn't returned at all!”

Upon hearing that, Allie was not pleased. Isn't it obvious that Lily is deliberately belittling my son? How can I tolerate her being such a killjoy?

Allie slammed her fork onto the dining table with a huff. Her sharp voice rang out. “Why are you blaming others for your granddaughter's timidity? You've spoiled her like a princess all this time, but she's not a real princess, so cut the pretentious act. When she grows up, won't she just be a liability?”

The veiled criticisms she made left Rachel feeling extremely uncomfortable after hearing them.

No matter what the relationship between her mother-in-law and the stepmother was, Tatiana was, after all, her child.

Naturally, she couldn't stand others belittling her daughter, so she immediately backed up her mother-in-law, Lily. “What's it to you how I raise my daughter? No one asked for your two cents. Tatiana is our little princess, and we love to spoil her. So what? You're not exactly young anymore. Mind your own manners!”

Rachel's mockery infuriated Allie.

Her eyes widened in anger as she glared fiercely at Rachel. “What did you say? How have I lost my manners? You, a younger generation of the family, dare criticize your elders? Don't you have any sense of decency or shame? You're always dressed up flamboyantly, like a provocative peacock. With such indecency, I'm sure you'll bring disgrace to the Moore family sooner or later.”

“Allie, what did you just say? Don't think that just because your son is back, you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you, as long as I, Lily, am in the Moore family, you will always be a shameful mistress, understand?” Lily abruptly stood up from her chair, thrusting the still-crying Tatiana into her daughter-in-law's arms, and began to berate Allie.

“Lily, you're insane! Why are you blaming others for your own incompetence? I bet you're destined to be a bitter woman all your life!” Allie wished she could tear Lily's annoying mouth into pieces.

The greatest humiliation of her life was becoming Bruce's lover. But even so, she had no regrets.

Otherwise, how would she get to enjoy that kind of luxurious and wealthy lifestyle she was living today?

Yet, she simply couldn't bear to be called a mistress by others, especially when that word sprang from Lily's mouth. It felt like the most embarrassing element of her life was being exposed, leaving her both embarrassed and furious.

If it weren't for the fact that her son had just returned, she would definitely have picked a fight with Lily.

Avery, listening to them start their infighting again, could only feel a sense of helplessness.

Due to the rule set by Jeffrey, on the fifteenth of every month, the entire family must gather for a meal, ostensibly a display of heeding the Moore family's teaching. However, every time, Lily and Allie would end up in a quarrel, always resulting in an unhappy parting.

Alina looked at the chaotic scene in the Moore family, stirred up by two women. Already frustrated, she found herself even less able to eat.

She hadn't expected that the Moore family would be in such a state. It's a good thing that my niece didn't live with them in the Moore residence. Otherwise, even the most patient person would be driven to illness by their antics.

The twins calmly continued eating the food in their bowls. It was clear that they were used to such situations, completely undisturbed. However, deep down, they were already feeling discontent.
