The CEO’S Unplanned Heir novel (Aurelia and Leopold) novel Chapter 889

Ritchie was in the midst of battle when he barked irritably, "This is so annoying. Can't a guy game in peace? Just hand over your money to me and save the noise."

Perla was on the verge of tears, "You're not even going to stand up for me and deal with this menace..."

"That's enough." Belinda slammed her hand down on the table, unable to contain her frustration, "Look at yourselves! What a spectacle. You've gone too far."

Jolin interjected, "Perla, you're in the wrong here. The cash gifts are for the kids, not for you. Snatching from them is going to turn into a family joke if word gets out."

Perla shot her a scornful look, "I'm just trying to keep them from wasting it. I'm saving it for them."

"It's her choice to give it to you out of affection," Jolin continued, "but you can't force her hand or outright rob her."

Lilith nodded vigorously, "You got it right. That's the grace of a lady of standing, unlike some who are as stingy as they come, acting like bandits."

Perla's face burned as if she had been slapped by an invisible hand, her mouth almost twisted to her ear in anger.

"Enough." Belinda reprimanded, "You've already kicked out a daughter-in-law, don't make any more trouble. Not capable at all, you can't even teach Ritchie well. If Ritchie divorced again, it would be a third marriage in the future, and who would dare to marry such a man."

Perla was furious.

"As my son's wife, she is expected to obey. If she can't, then get out."

Belinda interjected sternly, "Being my daughter-in-law comes with expectations, too. Keep stirring trouble, and I'll have Rahul send you packing."

Lilith couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of satisfaction watching Perla take a hit. She wasn't one to be trifled with, and she'd deal with her in the future.

Belinda then added, "Lilith, as the new bride in this family, you need to abide by the rules. Support your husband, raise your children, and respect your in-laws. No more striking Perla, understand?"

With a face full of grievance, Lilith replied, "Grandma, she hit me first."
