Kingsley tapped his fingers softly on the arm of the couch. He said impassively, "That's the only thing you're right about. Nicholas would never be tied down by marriage." Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly. Just what on earth is Nicholas up to? Could he have proposed to Mia because he's coming after me?
Ysabel rolled her eyes, though. "Reene could've married a perfect husband as well! It's all your fault, you little b*stard! I'm gonna kill you sooner or later!"
Elijah said timidly as he looked on, "Okay, that's enough. Just keep your voice down. Now that Clarence's family has got another deep-pocketed son-in-law, you'd better not set yourself against them anymore!"
"Oh, what a miserable life I'm living! My husband is a good-for-nothing, and my daughter won't listen to me either!" Ysabel lamented while slapping her thigh. Then, she continued, "Also, there's a son of a b*tch who's keeping me from getting a rich son-in-law! Oh…"
Just when she was making a scene, Mia recovered from her excitement and walked up to them. Holding her chin up in triumph, she said smugly, "Aunt Ysabel, it's useless no matter how much you cry now. I'll be the daughter-in-law of the Fox Family very soon! Reene, the lowly servant, will be trampled under my foot forever!"
Ysabel's face turned livid at Mia's words, but she dared not make a retort. She didn't have the nerve to make a scene in front of Nicholas, who was standing right next to Mia.
Mia then looked at Reene with her hands on her hips. "Reene, aren't you a bad*ss? Aren't you some female entrepreneur? Haha! Challenge me again and see how I'm gonna squash your ugly face underfoot!"
Reene replied icily, "Congratulations to you on finding happiness, but you'd better keep your eyes open and not let someone fool you."
"Me being fooled? Ha!" Mia replied with a sneer. "I think you're just envious of me for becoming the daughter-in-law of the Fox Family while you could only let this little b*stard live off you, you old spinster!"
