Chapter 1841: Chapter 1841: Sumr Hall Side Story (43)
The things that belong to the daughter-in-law, even the mother-in-law can covet them, and she can do so with such justifications.
Here she is saying the Young Lady is shallow, but if her actions are known, it will only make people laugh their heads off, right?
“Don’t say I’m just safeguarding it for you. Even if you give this card as a tribute to , the mother-in-law, isn’t it supposed to be that way?”
Helen lendy was amused by Leanne Richards’ shaless words.
No longer going around in circles with her, she directly said:
“Mom, why don’t you just tell that you’ve taken a liking to the Smith Family’s house?”
“What nonsense are you spouting? How could I be interested in such a trivial thing!”
There was a touch of guilt in Leanne Richards’ eyes.
“Since you don’t care, why insist that I hand over the card to you? Do you think the Hall Family’s security asures are inadequate, likely to let thieves in, or do you not trust ?”
Leanne Richards was rendered speechless by Helen lendy’s questioning.
Helen lendy continued, “This card was a wedding gift from Chief Smith to and Harry. The gift is too valuable. It’s soone else’s gesture of goodwill. They didn’t want to take it back, so we could only accept it. But that doesn’t an we can shalessly keep their gift. We still have to find an opportunity to return it to them.”
Leanne Richards’ face grew increasingly displeased, yet the disapproval in her eyes beca more pronounced. What she said next completely upended Helen lendy’s worldview.
“Since it’s a wedding gift from Chief Smith to you, why return it? Although the house is valuable, does the Smith Family lack such an amount? Only unimaginative paupers like you who have never seen the world would make a big deal out of a house like this.”
Helen lendy’s worldview was completely shattered by Leanne Richards’ words.
She’s seen enough of how shaless this woman can be.
“Yes, I take it seriously, which is why I won’t shalessly claim sothing worth billions that was given to . If you don’t care, that’s your business. Next ti soone gives you a gift, you can keep it, but for , I can’t accept it with a clear conscience.”
“You… what do you an, that you think I’m shaless and want to claim your things as my own? Helen lendy, you’re underestimating .”
Leanne Richards’ face turned pale with anger. Her heart, however, held so guilt. Now, as she bared her teeth at Helen lendy, it was nothing more than bluster to cover up her own insecurities.
Helen lendy gave a cold laugh, unwilling to pretend with Leanne Richards any longer, “Then why are you insisting on safeguarding it for ?”
From the beginning, Leanne Richards had been avoiding this question, but Helen lendy kept pressing, forcing her to answer, making Leanne Richards flustered with anger.
Originally, she was already filled with anger because Helen lendy didn’t easily hand over the card. Now being forced to face this issue directly made her even more furious.
“Ha! Why must I safeguard it for you, don’t you have any idea yourself?”
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Helen lendy with that piercing sarcasm in her eyes, and relying on her son not being around, she spoke unrestrainedly:
“I’m a wealthy lady, of course, I don’t care about the money for such a house, but you’re different. Can the parsimonious habits you developed in poverty change so easily?”
Helen lendy raised an eyebrow. Compared to Leanne Richards’ hypocritical concern, she was more accustod to her acerbic and an deanor.
This instead allowed her to respond smoothly.
However, Jane on the side couldn’t listen any longer.
