Francine hurriedly rushed over to Jovan’s home, a scowl on her face for the whole journey.
She had always been rivals with Sheila ever since she joined the Hunt family. For years, she had never lost once,
apart from comparing their daughter-in-laws back then.
Now, she was proud of her daughter-in-law as well. Not only did Renee have a successful career, she had even
given birth to a pair of beautiful twins. That was surely enough to keep Sheila at the bottom for eternity.
“Sheila Campbell, what is your problem? It’s seven in the morning! Did something great happen to my family that
you just couldn’t bear to watch in envy any longer?!” Francine ignored the maids’ attempts at stopping her and
barged right into the living room. She was clearly ready for a fight, and her aura was absolutely intimidating.
Sheila then walked out of Jovan’s room and stood by the staircase, mocking her. “I really am quite envious of what
great things have been happening to your family recently. I mean, it is really difficult to find such an indecent
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdaughter-in-law after all.”
“Daughter-in-law?” Francine narrowed her eyes. “My daughter-in-law is an amazing woman! She can balance both
work and family perfectly! Just look at her successful business and lovely children! All you can do is shrivel up in
jealousy…”
However, the woman’s prideful expression stiffened as soon as she saw Renee and Jovan walking out of the room
together.
“Wh… What’s this? Renee, why did you come out of that useless trash’s bedroom? Did you come here to teach
them a lesson because you couldn’t bear to look at this sorry family too?”
Renee lowered her gaze, not knowing how to explain her way out of this.
“Hahaha. Oh Francine, you’re too old to be so naive! What else can a man and a woman be doing in a room, all
alone?” Sheila cackled, finally taking the upperhand.
“How did you manage to teach your daughter-in-law such sinful acts?! She came all the way here to seduce her
own cousin-in-law! My little Jovan’s reputation is ruined!”
“If I had to pin the blame… She didn’t have good role models to look up to. You people must’ve been acting sinfully
as well. I won’t let this off so easily, the old man is going to hear about this! How else is my Jovan going to live his
life with pride after this?”
“Jovan isn’t like your son, he wants someone decent and modest! He-“
“Enough! Shut your dirty mouth, Sheila Campbell!” Francine roared, unable to handle her rambling any longer. Her
voice reached the houses three blocks down from where they were.
“Funny you should mention reputation when your son’s rotten banana basically destroyed any he had left! What
does he do apart from laze and fool around with women?!” Francine rolled her sleeves up, retorting.
“Everyone in Beach City knows how gentle and humble my daughter-in-law is! Do you not know what trash your son
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmis?! Your son must have been too lustful and forced himself onto her! I don’t want to let this go either! I’m going to
report your son for rape right now!”
“You… Stop trying to shift the blame!” Sheila didn’t intend to back down either, storming down the stairs and
approaching Francine.
“My Jovan is a charming, dashing young man. Countless women wish they could marry him! How could he possibly
be into this useless witch who’s given birth to two!? She’s been used, and even if it was rape, your daughter-in-law
must be the criminal here! Call the cops all you want, they will find the truth!”
“Hah! How dare you call my daughter-in-law useless?” Francine scoffed. “Ask around! Don’t you know who the
renowned chairman of KCL is? They’re all saying how she is a feminist icon, and a hero to all!”
“Now, look at your trashy son. What other achievements does he have apart from his womanizing history?!”
“How is my Jovan trashy?! Don’t you know how much my son did for H Group’s international marketing?! Do you
have no eyes? Did you not see for yourself?!”
