Chapter 1764 What Bad Luck

The old man was angered by Fiona’s words but did not know how to refute them.

Fiona laughed and said, “How about this, I’ll ask him about it later and will teach him a good lesson. I still

have some urgent business here, so I can’t talk…”

After that, Fiona immediately hung up her phone. Her face became glum as she cursed.

“What bad luck!”

Fiona looked up at her three good friends that were still waiting on her turn in a card game. She

immediately plastered on a smile and greeted them.

“Let’s continue! It’s just a small matter.”

Sitting across from Fiona was Yvette’s mother.

Mrs. Quimbey raised her eyebrows. “A small matter? What did Lance do that someone else had to come

complaining to you?”

Fiona pursed her lips. “Sigh, he’s just a kid. I no longer care about the company’s affairs, so complaining

to me won’t do him any good. But some people still don’t understand this!”

Mrs. Quimbey paused. “Did Yvette cause trouble recently?”

Fiona rolled her eyes at Mrs. Quimbey.

“What are you talking about?! My daughter-in-law is very well-behaved. She works all day long without

complaining. Not to mention, early this morning when I went to the office to deliver some soup, I saw

Yvette at work before dawn. She’s even more dedicated than my son! Where can you get such a great

child who’s so hardworking and progressive? I have such a good eye! Lance doesn’t even deserve her!”

The corners of Mrs. Quimbey’s eyes twitched. She muttered in a low voice.

“Did you mistake her for someone else? Are you talking about my daughter?”

Fiona coldly snorted. “How could I mistake my daughter-in-law for someone else? No way! The sign of a

successful woman is to be so immersed in work. Yvette has already achieved it!”

Mrs. Quimbey was speechless.

The other two women also nodded their heads in praise.

“Yvette is very resourceful and smart. Your requirements are too high! Can’t you see how excellent your

daughter is?”

“Yeah, in the high-society ladies’ circle, I saw that all those girls in the group treat Nicole and Yvette as

idols. They really have everyone’s admiration!”

Fiona nodded in satisfaction and agreed with their words.

“That’s right. Especially after they got married, I found that Yvette has so many strengths! My son is busy

working all day and knows nothing about life. But their temperaments and personalities are

extraordinarily suitable for each other. They’re simply a match made in heaven!”

Mrs. Quimbey frowned speechlessly. She had a feeling that they were not talking about her daughter.

However, who would not be happy when they heard people praise their daughter so much?

Mrs. Quimbey chuckled. “I hope so. I was worried that the two of them would encounter some problems

since they got married without dating first and that they probably need time to adjust. But now, it looks

like I was overly concerned.”

Fiona laughed. “Yes, you think too much! They have such a great relationship that they just wished that

they’d met sooner!”

The four women threw their heads back and laughed.

Lance’s office.

Yvette finished laughing, covered her stomach, and sat on the sofa. Lance speechlessly poured her a

cup of warm water.

“Look at you laughing so much. How could you laugh until you’re out of breath?”

Yvette held back her laughter and looked very aggrieved. She was playful and lively.

“Isn’t it funny?”

“Nope.”

Yvette paused. “Actually, you didn’t have to diss your uncle like that. After all, he’s your relative.”

Lance looked at her helplessly.

“You’re upset that I dissed him?”

Lance thought, ‘I clearly did it for her sake! This heartless little thing even said such sarcastic remarks?‘
