Chapter 2ht Jeanne Is Angry
Chapter 218 Jeanne is Angry
Isabella retracted her gaze and did not speak.
Draxton walked over to the window and glanced down. He then said calmly, “The Langley family comes
to pay their new year greetings to my grandparents every year”
Isabella said, “That’s nice of them.”
Draxton held her hand and said, “Let’s go downstairs and take a look.”
The two of them went to the living room. Patriarch Lockwood was not there. Only Madame Emma
Lockwood
and Jeanne were there.
The three members of the Langley family were enthusiastically greeting Madame Emma Lockwood and
wishing her a happy new year.
“Mrs Lockwood, we brought this local specialty here all the way from Hamilson City. There are also two
wild ginsengs.”
Shawn said carefully and he fawned over them.
Cressida smiled quietly. It was a really gentle smile.
She then took out a silk scarf and said, “Madame Lockwood, this is a scarf I embroidered myself. I
hope you’ll like it”
Madame Emma Lockwood glanced at her and said, “Oh my. I didn’t know that the young lady of the
Langley family knew how to embroider.”
Kim smiled and continued, “Madame Lockwood, the Langley family still has some ancient traditions.
Not only does Cressida know how to embroider, but she also knows how to play the piano and chess,
draw, and write calligraphy.”
Cressida lowered her head in embarrassment, but the corners of her lips were curled up slightly.
She was from a scholarly family, hence she was a well–bred young lady. She was not someone the
Lockwood family’s two daughters–in–law could compare to.
Elodia was even worse. She came from a humble family background and did not receive a good
education.
As for Draxton’s wife, she had children out of wedlock. If word got out, people would look down on her.
Cressida wasn’t like any of them. At this thought, she straightened her back proudly.
Madame Emma Lockwood did not take the scarf. She only glanced at it and said gently but slightly
distantly, “Thank you, Cressida. That’s nice of you.”
She did not say anything else.
Cressida was holding out her scarf, and she froze on the spot.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Kim’s face. Just as she was at a loss of what to do, Jeanne
took the scarf with a smile and praised, “This scarf is really beautiful. Cressida is really good with her
hands. Kim, do invite the guests to sit.”
This saved Kim from embarrassment, and she smiled and said, “Everyone, take a seat,”
Only then did the Langley family sit. They came every year, so they were not reserved.
At this moment, Draxton and Isabella came downstairs.
The Langley family immediately looked at Isabella.
The moment they saw Isabella’s face, they were stunned.
So that was how it was. No wonder Draxton liked her. She was a stunner.
Cressida couldn’t help but feel jealous.
Cressida thought that she herself was a rare beauty. Most importantly, she was well–educated, so her
temperament was naturally extraordinary.
She did not expect the woman Draxton married to be so… So…
She didn’t know how to describe it.
She was unlike any other woman she had ever met.
“Bella, come and sit.” Seeing Isabella, Madame Emma Lockwood smiled and patted the seat beside
her.
Isabella walked over with a smile and sat down. At the same time, she smiled and nodded at the
Langley family without saying anything.
Draxton nodded indifferently.
In terms of status, it was their honor that Draxton could look at them or recognize them.
The Langley family was naturally used to Draxton’s attitude.
However, Isabella behaved the same way. They could not help but feel indignant.
“How rude,” Cressida muttered in an almost imperceptible whisper.
Furious, she raised her head and said sarcastically, “This is Drax’s new wife, right?”
Her tone was open to interpretation.
Isabella looked at her with a faint smile and did not say anything. She turned to chat with Madame
Emma Lockwood and Jeanne.
Isabella completely disregarded the Langley family.
In fact, Isabella did not respect them. Even though Kim was there, she did not have to be polite to the
Langley family.
She wasn’t the rude one.
In terms of status, she was the Lockwood family’s patriarch’s wife. In terms of authority, she had the
final say in the Lockwood family’s matters.
The Langley family had come to pay their New Year’s greetings, but they didn’t pay respect to Mrs.
Lockwood. However, the Langley family clearly did not realize it.
Kim was displeased, but she smiled and said, “Jeanne, if you’re free, you should teach your daughter–
in–law some etiquette. I don’t want you to be embarrassed.”
Compared to Isabella, Kim was always more satisfied with Elodia.
However, it was only relative.
Elodia’s humble background would always bother Kim. Kim would never respect Elodia.
Elodia sat quietly in the corner. There was an empty seat beside her as Gary was sitting beside Kim.
They were husband and wife, but they had never been truly intimate.
There was only duty and routine.
Everyone envied her for marrying into the Lockwood family, but no one knew if she was living a good or
bad life.
Perhaps she was too greedy. She had food and water and did not have to worry about money. She
even dreamed of getting the love and protection of her husband and in–laws.
Indeed, one should not be too greedy.
She was not greedy initially, but when she saw Isabella, she could not help but feel pain in her heart.
Jeanne revealed a surprised expression when she heard Kim.
“Kim, what are you saying? Do you have any misunderstandings about Bella?”
Jeanne could not help but look at Kim with doubt.
Jeanne’s tone was gentle, but everyone could tell that she was unhappy.
When Kim saw how Jeanne was defending Isabella, she suddenly felt angry. She flew into a rage and
said, “Jeanne, aren’t you spoiling her too much?
“Let me tell you, a daughter–in–law has to be taught a lesson at the right time. Otherwise, she will go
too far. “You can’t indulge her just because she married into the family with children. There are many
daughters of wealthy families who keep their chastity.”
Jeanne’s face darkened at once and she said coldly, “Kim, are you asking me to beat Bella?
Chapter 218 Jeanne Is Angry
“I don’t need you to teach me how to treat my own daughter–in–law!”
Kim felt a little regretful after saying those words. When she saw Jeanne getting angry, she couldn’t
help but feel a little scared.
“Jeanne, it was just a comment. I didn’t mean anything else.”
Kim defended herself.
She did not want to be embarrassed in front of her brother and sister–in–law. Normally, she would not
care about the main branch’s business.
However, Isabella did not even greet Shawn or his wife. Wasn’t this not respecting Kim?
Jeanne didn’t care what she was thinking. She said angrily, “What do you mean by married into the
family with children? Kim, are you looking down on my daughter–in–law?
“I didn’t even criticize her, so what right do you have to criticize her?
“If you have so much time, why don’t you think about how to treat your daughter–in–law? Don’t you
know that if the family lives in harmony, all affairs will prosper?”
Kim was rendered speechless.
She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.
Jeanne’s breathing was rapid. Isabella saw that her eyes were burning with rage and her face was red.
It was obvious that she was furious. Isabella reached out and held Jeanne’s hand.
“Mom, calm down. There’s no need to be angry,” Isabella comforted her gently.
Jeanne said angrily, “What do you mean it’s not necessary? It’s necessary!”
She turned around and continued to glare at Kim. She sneered and said, “You just want to mock Bella
for having a child out of wedlock.
“But without Draxton, Bella wouldn’t have been able to give birth. This is our family’s business, but
you’re crossing the line.
“Kim, you must apologize to Bella today.”
