Chapter 123

Chapter 023 Bring ‘The Two Children Over Soon, Lena took Eileen to the Whites’ Residence. It was a villa in the mid-mountain with an ocean view.

Although it was slightly old, it was one of the most expensive mansions in Oscos. The Whites had countless properties all over the world, but Marie was a nostalgic person and had always lived in this old mansion. During festivals, Ivan would relurn to the old mansion to reunite with his grandmother.

The car was slowly driven along the mountain road into a lush green world. It was like entering a secluded and refined torest. Oxygen here was abundant and clean from nature. Although Oscos was a special economic zone, the air was very polluted. This place, on the other hand, was a rare paradise.

At the first gate, a young and handsome guard stopped their car and asked vigilantly, “What are you here for?” Lena Brown quickly opened the car window and smiled at the guard. “It’s me. I just talked to Jacobs on the phone. I made an appointment to visit Old Madam White at ten o’clock.” “Oh, so it’s Ms.

Brown.” Only then did the guard open the railing. They then passed through three similar gates in a row. The car was driven for more than ten minutes before it finally arrived at the main entrance of the villa. “Come on in.” The butler was already waiting at the door. He was wearing an old-fashioned suit and a pair of golden glasses, giving off a polite and meticulous feeling. He had been working here for more than thirty years and was also the person Marie trusted the most. “Tsk tsk, this place is really big! It’s several times bigger than ours!” Although Lena was also the wife of a rich man, she still felt overwhelmed. Ten minutes later, the butler brought Lena to the living room. The living room was shockingly large, which could accommodate a gathering of more than a hundred people. Marie was already waiting in the living room.

At this moment, she was sitting on the mahogany sofa in a silk dress with a silk shawl. A pair of glasses with chains was propped on her high nose bridge. She looked noble and dignified, and her elegant demeanor when she was young could be vaguely seen. “Oh my, Old Madam, long time no see!” Lena greeted with a flattering smile, and she enthusiastically went forward to try to shake Marie’s hand. Marie sat upright. She was very disgusted with Lena’s low-level social ceremony and had no intention to return the pleasantries. “Here you are. Have a seat,” she said in a cold tone, distancing herself at once. Lena smiled awkwardly and quickly handed over the high-end supplements she had bought. She said fawningly, “This is a gift for you, Old Madam White. It’s a small token of our respect. Please don’t dislike it!” “There is no need. Serve tea!” Marie was holding her cat without any trace of expression on her face, and she did not care about these things at all. Lena put the supplements on the coffee table and sat down with Eileen restrainedly. Then, the servant poured tea. “Um, Ivan hasn’t returned from his business trip yet?” Marie looked up slightly and replied coldly, “Yes, he will return tornorrow.”. “Oh!” “Did you come over today for something? If there’s anything, just say it.” Lena laughed dryly and said with some embarrassment, “No, it’s nothing important. We just came to visit you. Oh, Eileen is particularly concerned about your health. She often talks to me about visiting you…” When Marie heard this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly and she turned to look at Eileen sharply. Eileen was nervous and did not dare to look at the old lady at all. She just smiled uneasily. She also wanted to perform well in front of Marie. She had tried to pretend to be well-behaved, sensible, and virtuous.

Unfortunately, Marie didn’t buy the act at all. “If there is nothing to say, I’m going upstairs to take a nap.”

“Please… There is a small matter. It is just that I’m embarrassed to say it.” Marie sneered. “Since you are embarrassed, then don’t say it.” Lena choked at the response and cursed in her heart that Marie was too insensitive. However, her face was still full of smiles. “Uh, um… It’s about the marriage between Ivan and Eileen. You see, the two of them have been dating for so long. They are also around the right age, so I think we should hurry up and arrange their marriage.”

When Marie heard this, she frowned slightly and did not reply. Eileen blushed and she was so nervous that she could not stop rubbing her fingers. Logically speaking, it was the men’s family’s initiative to propose a marriage. But right now, she couldn’t care about anything else. She just wanted to secure the position of Mrs. White as soon as possible. Seeing that Marie didn’t respond, Lena smiled embarrassedly, and continued by biting the bullet, “It’s good to get married early so that they can have children early too. I think, Old Madam, you are also in a hurry to have grandchildren, right?”

Marie curled her lips and coldly replied, “Just discuss these matters with Ivan. I don’t have a problem.”

“Yes, you’re right, but young people are always indifferent to this matter. As parents, we have to take care of it, don’t we…”

Without waiting for Lena to finish, Maric lazily stood up. “Alright, I’m tired. I can’t make the decision on these matters. Just let Ivan make the decision himsell.” “Old Madam, Old Madam!” “Send the guests oft!” Lena looked embarrassed, and she was feeling anxious. “Ms. Brown, Old Madam is not in good health and needs to rest in the afternoon. No one can disturb her. You should go back first.”

“…Oh, okay.”

Lena and Eileen were given the cold shoulder, so they had no choice but to leave with their tails between their legs. After the two of them left, Marie snorted coldly. “Hmph, this pair of mother and daughter are not easy to deal with.”

Ivan walked out of the room and changed his cold and distant image he had in front of outsiders. He smiled and hugged around his grandmother’s shoulder. “Grandma, why are you so prejudiced against Eileen?” He had come back from Kruciun yesterday. But he didn’t want to meet Eileen, so he had lied that he would return the day after tomorrow.

“With such a mother, what good can the daughter be? Like mother, like daughter!” Marie did not like Lena at all. Although Marie had already retired, she was still the actual controller of the family. For so many years, she was able to bring along her grandson to make Cavebeat the leading company in Oscos, so naturally she was not an ordinary person.

Back then, Lena had been a famous social butterfly in Oscos. After marrying into the Hills, she successfully joined the upper circle. How could those thoughts of hers be hidden from Marie’s eyes?

“Grandma, her mother is her mother, Eileen is Eileen! We can’t mix them this way…” Ivan tried to convince his grandmother. Marie’s face darkened and interrupted him. “Have you done what I told you to do?”

Ivan was confused. “What is it?”

“I heard that Molly gave birth to two children. Bring the two children over and let me see them.”

Ivan was stunned.
