Chapter 2: Gone Too Far
Chapter 2: Gone Too Far
Amy made her way to the door of the largest main building and the maid led her inside.
Ayoung lady was coming down the stairs.
She had rather stylish brown curly hair and was dressing casually.
When she saw Amy coming in, disgust flashed in her eyes.
She then looked askance at Amy.
"Shortly after the wedding, you've already gone too far.How dare you have kept us waiting so long?" Amy was stunned for a moment.
‘‘The girl is making things difficult for me” She showed her disgust bluntly and hurriedly.
‘’It is true that in the Howard Family, even if the young master is sick, their family will regard me as the one who has been conferred a great blessing by them”
Thinking of this, she smiled and patiently explained, "There was a traffic jam in the main town.I'm sorry.’
The young lady snorted and walked to the living room.
She was Laura Howard, the youngest lady of the Howard Family, who was arrogant and didn't scruple to express how she really felt.
Amy thanked the servant who had led her in and followed the girl.
She walked up and bowed slightly when she saw the well- dressed noblewoman sitting on the sofa. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"Mrs.Tache." Rachel Miller remained calm, sized Amy up, and frowned.
Laura seemed very smug.
She clasped her hands to her chest.
"Mom, I don't understand why Grandpa would accept this woman.Countless women want to marry my brother! And each of them is better than her.Grandpa is old!" Rachel pursed her lips.
She didn't know Nicholas's intentions either.
According to the Howard Family's status in Imperial City, even if there were some rumors about her son, there would be a lot of girls who wanted to marry him.
She had thought Amy was a timid, vulgar girl, but her appearance was impeccable.
In addition, she was a straight-A student.
However, she was from a poor family and was not qualified enough to become a member of the Howard Family, let alone to be the wife of the heir of the Howard Family.
Rachel was quite depressed.
She really wanted to go abroad and quarrel with her father-in-law immediately.
‘I have to let the old guy agree with me if he comes back someday: Amy was ignored by them.
No one asked her to sit down or talk to her.
She didn’t mind it for she had thought about the worst scenario in advance.
What she could do was stand still with her head lowered in the living room.
The atmosphere was depressing and suffocating.
As Laura was staring at Amy who was calm, she then became more discontented.
Then she shouted at Amy.
"Our family will not accept someone like you.When my brother comes back, he'll divorce you immediately!"
When Amy looked at her, a smile appeared on her face as if she didn't care about the marriage.
"Miss.Howard, please don't worry.If he has the idea, I won't refuse to leave him and go away without hesitation." Laura was a little amazed by Amy's speech.
‘‘The woman is sort of sensible “ But Rachel didn't think so.
‘’Make concessions to gain advantages?’’ Rachel took a glance at Amy and pursed her lips.
"You'd better keep your promise today.My son is out of your league.Know your place.We'll talk about the divorce when Nicholas comes back.And The first thing you need to do is to behave yourself now.I don't want to see my family's reputation get ruined by you."
Despite looking calm, Amy felt pain from Rachel's words.
She had once tried hard to bridge the gap among different classes, but later she realized that it was impossible, no matter how hard she tried.
She was destined to be those people at the bottom.
She would not try that again.
So she agreed without hesitation, "Mrs.Tache, I got it.’’
EK In an office on the top floor of the Grand Company.
A man was sitting in an armchair, indistinguishable emotions contained in his eyes.
"That's the post-discussion plan?" He said in a cold tone and frowned.
His voice and vibe intimidated the man in front of him.
With his head down, having an angular face, he was standing with his back to the window.
"Mr.Howard, we'll come up with a perfect solution as soon as possible."
A man instantly replied, wiping off the sweats on his forehead.
The large office was now extremely quiet.No one knew what he was thinking.
"Tomorrow at the latest.Get out."
He rubbed his brow and got inexplicably irritated.
The man was relieved and fled out of the office.The cell phone on the table beside him suddenly rang.
He knew who was calling him at this time without looking at the phone.
"Grandpa."
After picking up the phone, he said casually.
"Where are you now?"
The old man's tone was gruff.
"In the company.’’
"Company?"
The old man's voice turned sharp.
"Brat, today is your wedding day.Have you forgotten?"
