It’s really infuriating.
"Ivy Miller, I’m your mother-in-law, will you listen to my orders or not? I’m telling you to co ho."
"Mom, it’s true that you’re my mother-in-law, but even you hitting people is not okay.
How can you be so tyrannical? What did Isla do to offend you? We were just shopping together."
"What, you’re talking back to too? Do you want to get out of the Sullivan family?"
Ivy exhaled: "I have no problem leaving the Sullivan family. I told you, as long as Henry Sullivan signs the divorce papers, I’ll leave imdiately."
Florence Wilder hurriedly stepped up: "Sis-in-law, how can you talk like this?
Auntie is upset right now; it would be better if you just said sothing conciliatory.
Don’t be like this; if you just say sorry, won’t the matter be over?"
"Our family matters don’t need Ms. Florence to interfere," Ivy really couldn’t stand it anymore.
Who does this woman think she is, ddling in other people’s business?
She really doesn’t know her own worth.
Nathan Rhodes blocked Florence Wilder behind him: "Regarding your family matters, I say you are the Sullivan’s daughter-in-law and you can be; I say you are not, and you have no qualification.
You have no right to talk to Florence like this; I’m telling you, be careful.
I was annoyed enough finding soone like you to be my daughter-in-law.
And now you’re friends with soone like Isla Linton.
I help you, and yet you say things like this—you really don’t know good from bad."
Ivy gritted her teeth, just about to say sothing when Isla grabbed her wrist: "Ivy, don’t say anything, just go wait for outside."
"No, Isla, we ca together, we should leave together."
Isla looked at her and smiled, pursing her lips: "It’s okay, you go wait downstairs, I’m fine."
Ivy sighed helplessly, what now?
Isla turned and pushed her towards the door: "Then wait for here, I’ll be out in three minutes."
"Alright, be careful."
Isla smiled at her, turned, and re-entered the lounge, walking straight up to Nathan with a cold expression.
Seeing this, Florence stepped up: "What are you going to do, I’m telling you, don’t act recklessly."
Isla said indifferently: "Move aside."
Nathan pulled Florence to the side: "Florence, just stand aside, Isla Linton, I found that you have beco arrogant over the years."
"I haven’t beco arrogant, just blinded by hatred.
Nathan, I’m telling you, your precious son, I couldn’t care less about him.
Also, I’m warning you clearly, don’t hurt Ivy.
If Ivy gets the sa grievances from you that I did, I won’t let the Sullivans off."
"Based on what?" Nathan sneered, this woman is hard to hold back from mocking.
"Nathan, who do you think you are, truly considering yourself significant?
If you want to threaten , first weigh your own worth."
Isla calmly said: "Recently, didn’t the Twilight Group face a minor economic crisis? That was my warning to you.
Also, you can dislike , hate , but I won’t allow you to continue hurting Henry with your thoughts.
Otherwise, I’ll tell Henry the truth about my miscarriage back then.
At that ti, what you lose won’t just be the company, but also your son."
"You’re threatening ?"
Isla had a cold smile at the corner of her eyes: "Yes, it’s a threat. You better rember my threat well. If you cross my bottom line one day, I’ll make sure you regret it."
Isla said this and, with a sarcastic smirk, turned to leave.
Nathan, seeing Isla daring to use this attitude towards her, felt her anger rise uncontrollably.
She raised her hand and pushed Nathan forward, causing Nathan, who couldn’t stand steadily, to stumble and fall to the ground.
"Who do you think you are to threaten ?" Nathan’s voice carried coldness.
Isla sat on the ground, let out a cold laugh, and slowly got up, looking back at her.
"Nathan, you really made it a habit of being disrespectful despite age.
Not to ntion, your way of bullying seems to never change."
After saying this, she looked at Florence and sneered: "I advise you to stay away from such a woman, or there will co a day when you’ll regret it.
Of course, unless you can guarantee your family will remain a wealthy one forever, that’s another matter."
"You’re making nonsense, Auntie loves the most."
Florence raised her chin, full of pride.
"Really? Congratulations then." Isla looked at Nathan: "I truly can’t understand how there can be a person like you, not cherishing your own daughter-in-law but caring for an outsider..."
She said, shaking her head, not bothering to continue talking to such a person: "I’m leaving now, if you dare push again, I’ll call the police.
I’m not afraid of humiliation, but I don’t know about you, the wife of the Twilight Group.
Moreover, if it cos to the police station, not necessarily Henry would side with you.
I rember, he’s soone who stands by the right rather than close ties.
Then again, with a mother like you, it’s hard for children to be close to you."
Nathan gritted her teeth in anger, watching Isla leave arrogantly after speaking.
Florence worriedly held Nathan’s hand: "Auntie, where did this woman co from, she’s so ill-mannered, her words are really vicious."
"Don’t bother with her, it’s okay, let’s go."
Ivy was worried, not knowing what to do, wondering if she should rush in and run away with Isla when Isla ca out by herself.
Seeing her calm deanor, Ivy truly let out a huge sigh of relief.
Thankfully, thankfully, she thought it was hopeless just now.
The outco was much better than she anticipated.
She grabbed Isla’s wrist and started walking away, Isla confused: "Ivy, what’s wrong."
Ivy hurriedly glanced back: "Isla, don’t say anything."
Only after they left the mall did Ivy release her grip and worriedly asked: "How are you? Did my mother-in-law give you any trouble?
I’m sorry, in that situation I chickened out, couldn’t protect you."
Isla chuckled speechlessly: "Alright, don’t bla yourself, she is your mother-in-law. If you really oppose her because of , then you’d be truly rebellious."
"But my mother-in-law hit you."
Isla dismissed it: "It’s not the first ti anyway, it doesn’t matter."
"Isla, you an she used to..." She suddenly went silent, not knowing what to say next.
Isla patted her shoulder: "I’m really fine, but you must be careful with her.
Your mother-in-law... she’s really not an easy person to deal with."
"I know that." Of course she knows, from the way her mother-in-law looks at people with those judgntal eyes.
With their family conditions, they would certainly be favored by her in-laws in ordinary families, but with her mother-in-law... it’s all nonsense.
"You don’t know, she’s far worse than you can imagine," Isla shook her head, denying Ivy’s words.
