Chapter 824 Old Mrs. Foster scowled at Isabelle, "Yes, Darius, why does she love to brag so much?" "She's taking it too far,” Camille chimed in agreement. "It's ridiculous! Miss Deleon, you're just laughable." Madam Gisselle rolled her eyes and said, "Darius, | don't mean to meddle but you always complain about me being blunt. Well this time | have to be blunt. You married a divorced woman who loves to brag. Do you really think we don't keep up with international news?" The recent events in Middle Evroya were known worldwide.
Everyone knew that they had elected a female leader.
And she was elected by a high margin of votes.
It was shocking for the whole world.
As she spoke, she opened her phone and began searching for news related to Middle Evroya.
But then...
When she saw the picture accompanying the news article on her phone screen, it felt like lightning struck her entire body.
"Mommy, let me see!" June quickly snatched Madam Gisselle's phone from her hand and prepared herself for another round of mocking Isabelle. But when she saw the picture on the screen along with the news article... she screamed out loud and threw away the phone in shock! Her reaction was exaggerated and terrifying! "June, what are you doing? What happened to your manners as a socialite?" The old Mrs. Foster glared at June disapprovingly; not liking how easily startled she is.
They usually hung out with other socialites’ wives without paying much attention to current events or what happens around them, except knowing that Middle Evroya has recently elected their first female prime minister which shocked everyone around the world.

And now that they know... they can hardly believe it! Even Old Mrs. Foster, who has lived through many experiences throughout her life, could not have imagined that someone from their own family would marry into royalty - let alone become Prime Minister! Her mind went blank as if everything else disappeared from existence. She even forgot how to react properly! Madam Gisselle also had a moment of panic. Her face turned pale as she was shocked by the truth. She had originally thought that Darius had found someone who was divorced and a scumbag.
But it turned out to be a prime minister? So the prime minister came from Middle Evroya to H Rovirsa and was even received by the president of H Rovirsa? They had always thought Isabelle was not good enough for Darius, but now they realized how ridiculous they were before.
Middle Evroya's prime minister... Camille looked embarrassed.
How could Middle Evroya's female prime minister have Darius’ child? Were their mocking of Isabelle earlier considered adding fuel to international relations? Would it cause any tension between countries? She couldn't help but start thinking wildly. Her husband already relied on the Foster family for livelihood, now she couldn't help but become more cautious in life.
If their mockery really caused some kind of international dispute or something like that, and Isabelle held grudges... wouldn't they all be screwed? She didn't realize how ignorant and ridiculous her thoughts were at this moment.
Just then, a handsome man led an extremely beautiful woman into the living room.
The woman wore a beige windbreaker with an imposing aura. She had fair skin and a slender figure while the man wore casual beige clothes matching his girlfriend's outfit perfectly.
It wasn't anyone else other than Franklin and Sylvia! When Bethany saw Sylvia, she shouted with joy running towards Sylvia exclaiming, "Aunt Sylvia! You're here!" Camille didn't expect Aunt Sylvia mentioned by Bethany turned out to be Sylvia Andrews and also Wynter.
No wonder why Bethany could play Soul when she was only five years old... Did she receive guidance from Sylvia? These women from the Foster family were all embarrassed.
Before, they looked down on Isabelle and didn't think much of Bethany. Now, they regret it deeply and feel embarrassed.
Wynter had quite the reputation, with many people wanting to get close to her and build relationships with her...
June stared at Sylvia holding onto Bethany with envy, jealousy, and hatred in her eyes. She could hardly believe how tenderly Sylvia treated Bethany, even kissing her little face! Madam Gisselle was also very embarrassed; usually so eloquent but now for once in her life didn't know what to say in order to save this awkward situation.
Old Mrs. Foster almost had a heart attack just now; previously speaking harshly but now appearing gentle and kind-hearted as ever before.
She had experienced many ups-and-downs throughout her life but never felt as embarrassed or ashamed as she did right now, especially seeing how intimate Sylvia was acting towards Bethany...
It seemed like their relationship was special! As expected, everyone from the Foster family heard Sylvia whisper softly into Bethany's ear. "How are your martial arts training going?" "I'm doing great! Anto says I'm the best! I'm also great at horseback riding! And playing piano!" said Bethany proudly while looking up at Sylvia expectantly for praise.
"Very good," nodded Sylvia before letting go of Bethany's hand and walking over towards Isabelle. "Isabelle, why did you lose weight?" "I've been so busy lately," Isabelle's tense nerves relaxed as soon as she saw Sylvia.
Anyone could see that Isabelle seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when Sylvia walked in.
"Go ahead, play me a song on the piano," Sylvia pointed to the corner where the piano was and said to Bethany.
Bethany didn't hesitate and quickly ran over, her face showing a hint of nervousness, completely different from when she played Soul earlier.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe played a Mozart piece.
June's expression changed immediately after hearing Bethany play Mozart's piece. It was well known that Mozart often repeated the same melody several times but with slight variations each time, such as adding some vibrato or other difficult techniques.
His sheet music was also very difficult to memorize. Many competitions that voluntarily required playing Mozart pieces were either aiming for awards or just seeking death. June also didn't like playing Mozart pieces but she could clearly hear that Bethany didn't make any mistakes while playing it perfectly.
June was shocked! "How is this possible?" The others didn't understand music and heard her muttering under her breath; old Mrs. Foster couldn't help being the first one to speak up. "What happened?" "She played without making any mistakes." She whispered about the characteristics of Mozart's music and gave them some knowledge about it.
If they were shocked before by Bethany being able to play Soul, now they were once again amazed at how she could play such a high-level piece with ease.
After listening, Sylvia walked up to Bethany and gave her some instructions before walking over with the child in tow.
"Old Mrs. Foster, | hope you don't mind my impertinence; Bethany has been in Middle Evroya all along and | really wanted to know what level she's at now so | borrowed your piano for use." "No problem at all! You're Wynter after all; Wynter used my piano before - it's quite an interesting story!" Old Mrs. Foster was very good at talking.
Her words made people feel comfortable.
"When Bethany was still in Middle Evroya before this time around, | already liked her," Sylvia glanced at the Foster family members whose faces showed various expressions, indicating both Isabelle and Bethany had suffered here.
She smiled, not paying attention to them, and instead glanced over the gifts Isabelle had brought on the table. "Did you manage to snag any discounts during your shopping spree?" Camille thought to herself that Sylvia had also realized that these were fake goods, one hundred percent sure of it, which was why she asked Isabelle. After all, X's jewelry never went on sale, as everyone knew.
Madam Gisselle also secretly thought the same thing, but she didn't dare show it.
Isabelle didn't expect her to care about such a small issue and immediately said, "It's discounted by 40%." "Really? | asked them to give you a 50% discount. Why did they only give a 40% discount? They should be punished!" Suddenly, the countenances of the Foster family twisted into a grotesque expression.
Was it really true? Or did they get it at a discount? Did Sylvia still have connections with X and could make this brand go on sale? The hearts of the Foster family sank and felt particularly uncomfortable.
Sylvia took note of everyone's expressions and calmly said, "These gifts are what Isabelle wants to give you all. We took the time to consult with her on the packaging design before finalizing our decisions. You won't find this unique packaging in any store."
