Leia stood awkwardly on the spot. The flattering words that she had prepared to say to Brody's grandmother were stuck in her throat.
Brody tried to defuse the tense situation.
He quickly went up to support his grandmother and coaxed her, "Grandma, Leia is a beautiful and sensible girl. You don't know how happy I am when I'm with her. You'll know that she's a good girl after spending some more time with her. Can you be a little more friendly toward her? After all, she's your future granddaughter-in-law…"
"Hmph! Our household has no need for a girl like her!"
The old woman coldly interjected and continued to dress down her grandson, "I say, Brody, you've always been a smart boy, so why would you find a debauched woman like her as your girlfriend? She's been in the entertainment industry since she was young. You should know that there aren't any virgins there. Moreover, she's plagued with scandals. She threatened the doctor to falsify the DNA test report, and she's been caught sleeping around with other men more than once. Do you want to bring her into the household? Not unless I'm dead!"
"It's not like that, Grandma. Maybe Leia has her reasons…"
"Shut up!" The old woman glared at her grandson and spoke forcefully, "Do you want to ruin our family reputation and make us the subject of public ridicule? Let me tell you. You can marry any other woman except for this one!"
"Listen to me, Grandma…"
Brody wanted to explain to his grandmother, but his grandmother wagged her hand and went upstairs with the help of her walking stick.
He could only follow her upstairs.
Before she disappeared, the old woman shot a cold glance at Leia's face and muttered something.
"Ms. Norman? No, she's an abandoned girl from an orphanage. You can see from her face that her mind isn't in the right place. My dear Brody, she'll bring disaster to the family if you marry her. In the worst case, our family will be ruined. Why do you insist on marrying her?"
Leia stood at the bottom of the staircase and watched the old woman go upstairs.
She could feel chills course down her spine as she listened to those words. How she wished that she could push the old woman down the stairs so that she would fall and die!
''That d*mned old lady is already one foot in the grave. Why would she care?'
The caretaker saw Leia standing there in a daze. Thinking that she was overcome by sorrow, the caretaker felt some sympathy for her.
She handed a pair of slippers to Leia. "Madam can be irritable at times. Please wear these slippers."
Leia forced a smile at the caretaker and thanked her.
She did not put on the slippers. Instead, her expression became colder and colder.
That old woman had insulted her, but Brody did not stay by her side. Instead, he helped her walk up the stairs. Those promises that he had made were all but hot air!
From what she saw today, she could tell that Brody was still a mama's boy!
