Chapter 87 Realistic place
“I’m always like this with Daisy! If she doesn’t listen to me, I’ll definitely tell her off. Right now she’s not even fully recovered yet, but she still went out to socialize. To turn a deaf ear to my words! And I brought Amelia here today because she kept telling me she really wants to see life here. After all, she used to be our employee, and we usually get along well, so I brought her along.”
I almost laughed out loud. I think Amelia has a grudge against her now. Because this sentence is clearly belittling Amelia, she hasn’t seen the world.
And Amelia had just been bragging to me that she had been here a few times and hadn’t seen me. But now Charlotte has exposed her, saying that Amelia begged her to come here to see the world.
Vanity Fair is a very realistic place. Just like Evie at this moment, she looked down on Amelia with contempt, and said unhappily, “Amelia, did you come here before? You just said that you wanted to meet me a few times ago, and you also said that you would bring your mother-in-law with you! So, did you bring her, or did she bring you? What a mess! It’s really boring how anyone can enter this circle! Boring! It’s boring!”
These words were like another slap in Amelia’s face, which had already been swollen. Amelia almost couldn’t stand still.
Hannah quickly stepped in to defuse the situation. “Oh, I just wanted to invite everyone out for a get-together! In the future, let’s try to avoid saying things that could divide us. Everyone who’s here is either rich or noble, so let’s not ruin the atmosphere. Besides, the men still have to do business, so don’t make it difficult for them! Let’s just let it go!”
Hearing Hannah say this, everyone dispersed.
Amelia smiled awkwardly at me, a bit uneasy, “Daisy, I…”
I hushed her, patting her shoulder with generosity and a hint of meaning, “Don’t mind, it’s normal.”
But Scarlette wasn’t as magnanimous. She glanced at Amelia, teasingly remarked, “You’re quite something, using the mother-in-law excuse. Which one is your husband? Steven or Edward? Anyway, it’s widely known that Robert’s wife is Daisy. Doing this might lead to misunderstandings!”
Amelia’s face turned purple, then white, and then green.
“Come on, say a little less!” I glanced at Scarlette. “Just let it go.”
“Charlotte is really blessed. Daisy is a lucky star for her family. No wonder Mr. Brown is so obedient to Mrs. Brown,” someone sincerely flattered me. “With a daughter-in-law like you, it’s double insurance!”
Scarlette immediately seized the opportunity, “That’s right! Daisy has been outstanding since childhood, and with a good family background, becoming the richest woman in Southend one day is not impossible. Mr. Brown indeed has a discerning eye. Back in the day, he went to great lengths to pursue our Daisy. Do you know what methods he used?” The gossip-loving women perked up, their ears erect, afraid of missing out on any exciting details.
I noticed that Amelia’s complexion was extremely unpleasant. Scarlette intentionally teased those people, “Do you want to hear it?”
“Hurry up and tell us!” someone couldn’t wait and urged.
“Come over!” Scarlette waved her hand, leading a group of people to the opposite sofa to listen to gossip.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Amelia didn’t follow them; she wasn’t interested in how Robert pursued me.
I looked at her and gestured, “Come over and sit.”
She smiled awkwardly but still came over, her gaze somewhat avoiding mine. Perhaps she didn’t expect Robert to suddenly stop my medication, giving me a chance for rebirth.
Suppressing the anger within me, I pretended to be kind and comforting, “Don’t mind those people. Just come often. I haven’t asked you yet, what does your husband do?”
