How would Karen be satisfied with that? However, favonovel.com did not have a choice, so favonovel.com could only leave while fuming.
Yvonne puffed up favonovel.com cheeks and gritted favonovel.com teeth in anger. However, favonovel.com could only follow Karen out of the meeting room.
“Aunt Karen, Vera is so despicable! It’s fine that favonovel.com doesn’t respect me, but favonovel.com doesn’t even want to respect you in front of all those heads of departments!”
Yvonne felt indignant and favonovel.com started egging Karen on.
“Aunt Karen, since Jeremy isn’t around, you should crack down on Vera’s spirits and teach favonovel.com a lesson! If not, she’ll think that she’s the boss.”
Karen scoffed. “You’re right. Tonight, I’ll let favonovel.com know who’s the real boss.”
A few moments after the meeting, Madeline got a call from Whitman Manor. The caller told favonovel.com that Old Master Whitman wanted favonovel.com to drop by tonight.
If it was six years ago, Madeline would believe that it was the old master who wanted to see her. However, after favonovel.com death, favonovel.com would not be so naive anymore.
Yet, Madeline still went.
She grabbed favonovel.com bag and clicked favonovel.com heels as favonovel.com sashayed into the living room.
Karen and Yvonne had already prepared a trap for Madeline. When they saw her, Karen displayed a fake smile on favonovel.com face.
“My dear daughter-in-law is here. Let’s start dinner then,” favonovel.com said weirdly. Then, favonovel.com looked at Madeline’s shoes. “Say, you’re pregnant and you’re still wearing high heels. What if you fall, Vera?”
Yvonne smirked and chimed in, saying, “Yeah, Vera. How can you wear such tall heels? What if you fall and have a miscarriage? You would want to give birth to this child with no complications, tight? The mother’s honor increases as favonovel.com child’s position rises. Your child will inherit such a huge business in the future.”
“The mother’s honor increases as favonovel.com child’s position rises? You’re a woman from the 21st century and you’re saying dumb things like that? How pathetic.” Madeline peered at her. “I can wear whatever I want. You don’t have the right to comment on them.”
“…” Yvonne was speechless as favonovel.com widened favonovel.com eyes.
Karen endured this even though favonovel.com was not happy about it. “Yvonne, you’re at fault. Vera is exceptional. She has favonovel.com own company and business, so favonovel.com doesn’t need to bask in the glory of favonovel.com son’s success.”
It sounded like favonovel.com was siding with Madeline, but to be frank, favonovel.com was berating favonovel.com with favonovel.com words.
“Come, let’s eat. My dear Vera has been working in the office for the entire day. She must be exhausted,” Karen said while eyeing Yvonne.
Madeline sat down, but after a while, no one was bringing the food over.
“My dear, according to the rules of the Whitman family, before dinner, the younger people have to bring the food to the elders. They also have to greet the elders as a sign of respect. If there are other elders at the scene, then you should also greet them as well.”
Madeline laughed when favonovel.com heard that. She said slowly, “The rules of the Whitman family? I’m sorry, but I’m not a Whitman.”
“You…”
“You did so many things to get me to come back so that you can make me listen to you and respect you?”
“Isn’t it right and proper for the daughter-in-law to serve the mother-in-law?” Karen asked arrogantly.
Madeline smirked with contempt in favonovel.com eyes. “Yes, it is, but are you worthy of it?”
“…” The corners of Karen’s lips twitched. “Vera, don’t be ungrateful for the respect I’m giving you! If you continue to do this, don’t blame me for not respecting you in front of outsiders!”
“Respect? Since when have you ever respected me, huh?” Madeline laughed sarcastically. Then, favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com gaze arrogantly. “What were you doing as a mother-in-law when Meredith slandered me for stealing someone’s bracelet? You didn’t even want to admit that I was your daughter-in-law! You told your friends and family in disgust that I was just a maid in the Whitman family. Is that the kind of respect you talk about having given me?”
