âMomâ¦â
Alex wanted to stop Brittany, yet he was held back by Waltz. âSenior, Madame has been
holding the anger for such a long time, if you donât let her vent it, it might deteriorate her
health and she might get sick. Your mother-in-law has indeed crossed the line.
If we
donât teach her a lesson now, youâd have to suffer more in the future.â
Alex smiled bitterly. âIâm worried that I wouldnât even have a future after this.â
Waltz smiled as she said, âThat wonât happen.â
Deep in her heart, she wished clearly that Alex didnât have such a future.
âMy son has been slaving away for your family as a nanny, he could at least have a
salary of ten thousand dollars every month, right? Thereâs a total of ten months, how
much has he actually taken from you?
Isnât that what heâs supposed to deserve?â
Brittany said coldly.
âIt doesnât matter how much he took, thatâs still money of the Assexes!â
âFine, itâs your money. What about this then?
Back when Alex was getting married, I
gave you a betrothal gift of twenty million dollars, and Iâm not even including the cost of
the jewellery. But you never treat my son as your son-in-law, so shouldnât you return
those money to me?â
With this, both Dorothy and Beatrice were shocked as they had no idea this had actually
happened.
Dorothy asked, âMom, you⦠you actually asked for a betrothal gift of twenty million
dollars?â
Claire yelled, âSo what if I did? After all, you two have registered for marriage, why
should I return those money?â
Dorothy asked again, âWhat happened to the money then?â
Claire, who seemed fairly upset, agitatedly said, âI traded them for futures and lost all
the money. Hmph, it must be because itâs dirty money, thatâs why I lost. Why else would
I suffer losses in everything that I bought?â
Listening to this, Dorothy was about to cry from sheer anger.
The guests were appalled as well. After all, it was not a small amount, but twenty million
dollars. Most people wouldnât even be able to earn such an amount in their whole
lifetime.
It was a rare sight when someone had the courage of her convictions to say
that she lost all the money with such an excuse.
Brittany laughed coldly. âIf it were really dirty money, the officials wouldâve come to
confiscate it ages ago.
How could they let you off so easily? Fine, whatever, twenty
million dollars are nothing to me, I donât really care if they are gone. But donât you dare
try to reason with me using my sonâs pocket change of hundreds of thousands dollars.â
She added, âDidnât you just say that you wanted your daughter and my son to get a
divorce? Sure, I agree with that.â
Panicked, Alexâs face turned pale. âMom, I donât want to.â
However, Claire clapped as she exclaimed, âI agree too, they shouldâve divorced ages
ago!
Why should I let this loser stay in my place any longer?â
Brittany turned to Alex and said, âBack then, I told you that I didnât want you to marry
Dorothy. In my mind, Iâd prefer Maya to be my daughter-in-law, or Waltz, Iâm satisfied
with her too!â
Dorothyâs expression instantly darkened.
Alex asked, âMom, what wrong did Dorothy even do?â
Brittany replied, âShe didnât, whatâs wrong is that she has an unreasonable, greedy and
snobbish mother. I already realized that back then. Marriage isnât just between the two
of you, it involves two families too.
Son, do think you could be happy if her mother and
the rest of her family members dislike you? Listen to me, get a divorce! Mom will
approve your marriage if you were to marry Maya or Waltz.â
Mayaâs face blushed, there was a shy look in her eyes. Waltz, on the other hand, smiled
as she said, âMadame, I shall call you âMomâ from now on.
I donât mind being a
concubine, Maya can be his wife!â
She then huffed at Alex. âGood for you, hubby! We can finally sleep in the same bed
tonight!â
At this moment, Dorothy was crushed as if she were struck by lightning.
âGet out! All of you, get out! We Bardots donâ t welcome you.â Aidan was enraged as he
lunged forward with a stick.
Waltz grabbed the stick effortlessly with her slender hand. Then, with just a gentle grip,
the stick, which was as thick as an arm, broke into pieces.
Waltz smiled as she said, âOld man, youâre old and you should keep your temper under
control, Otherwise, it would be bad for your health.â
Everyone was incredibly appalled, with their mouth agape.
Meanwhile, Sharpayâs boyfriend, Edison, had finally recognized Waltz. His eyes were
instantly widened and filled with terror.
