Chapter 1217: 1217. The premise of true love includes propriety, justice, integrity, and honor.
“Lily,”
“Grandma, please go inside. Don’t let so disgusting and nauseating words pollute your ears.”
The Old Lady really didn’t want to see Thompson, nor did she want to hear another word of her nonsense, so she entered the house with the help of Gloria.
Thompson was sowhat restrained when she was facing the Old Lady.
But facing Lily Jones, she instinctively felt a sense of maternal superiority, just as she had in front of Adam Jones and Elly Campbell.
“Lily, I’m your mother. Mind your words…”
“Thompson, just be a human!”
Lily Jones didn’t want to listen to Thompson preach and redefine her values, so she cut her off:
“Your dirty little affair with Cam Green—you think nobody speaks of it, you really think nobody knows?”
She gave Thompson a once-over and continued:
“True love presupposes manners and integrity, and you lack integrity. Stop using true love as a fig leaf for your shalessness. Your ass is showing; you think nobody recognizes you by hiding your face?”
“You…”
Thompson didn’t expect Lily Jones to denigrate her in front of so many people, especially being her mother, and imdiately lost her temper.
Rembering the resentnt from being betrayed by her last ti, which ruined her whole plan, she raised her hand to slap Lily Jones in the face.
But before she could touch Lily Jones, her hand was caught by Christopher Moore.
Thompson was stunned and t Christopher’s grim eyes, which frightened her.
Christopher was always polite and gentlemanly to outsiders and had never shown anyone a stern face.
To everyone, he was a kind, gentle young master with an extrely good temper.
Only soone with Christopher’s patience could tolerate soone as arrogant and haughty as Lily Jones, the pampered heiress.
Thus, Thompson had always thought of Christopher as a good-natured, gentle man.
But his cold deanor now gave her quite a shock, and it took her a mont to recover and say:
“What, I heard the education of the Young Master of the Moore Clan is excellent, gentle as jade. Are you planning to hit , your elder, now?”
When Lily Jones heard Thompson’s words, she wouldn’t have it.
She knew her husband was too good-natured to bear seeing her bullied by this shaless old woman. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Christopher’s deep voice:
“I apologize.”
Thompson thought Christopher was starting to apologize to her, and a smug look appeared on her face, but then she heard him continue:
“The upbringing of the Moore Clan does not include being polite to scum. Moreover, you are just a stranger trying to bully my wife, not so elder—please be clear about your own status before you speak to .”
With that, he forcefully pushed Thompson’s wrist away.
Thompson, not as strong as Christopher, was pushed several steps backward.
At first, Lily Jones was indeed worried that her husband might be too polite to this old woman, considering she was technically his mother-in-law, but seeing his rare fierce deanor now, she couldn’t help but ntally applaud him.
This is how one should deal with shaless people.
“You two… you two…”
Thompson was furious.
She thought she could handle Christopher by bringing up manners, but she didn’t expect him to defy conventions too.
Lily Jones could probably guess why Thompson had co to the Jones household.
A while ago, she heard from the daughter of the President, Tang Lin, that Cam Green had also been arrested.
