Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband

Chapter 11: Anger Them

At the main house of the Morris’s old mansion…

Gianna paused and continued, “Oh yes, I guess the reason granny asked me to come back is because of me and Caesar’s marriage?”

Joanna was startled and she clearly did not expect her to guess it out.

Gianna certainly did not experience that in her previous life, after all, what happened last night did not happen in her previous life, and naturally there were not the news and hot topic today. The reason she could hit the bulls-eye was that the people from the old mansion had been secretly colluding with the Kennedy’s, and they conspired to seize her father’s right of inheritance through the Kennedy’s.

Since Gianna had embarrassed the Kennedy’s now, Joanna certainly had to teach her a lesson for the Kennedy’s.

It was just that she did not expect that Gianna was no longer easy to be bullied now and her few words had made her face flushed like never before.

“I’ll be frank to tell you that I had indeed received a jewel from Kingsley Walker last night and embarrassed Caesar in front of everyone.” As she spoke, she took out the dazzling sapphire.

The jewel shone with great brilliancy. With its impeccable cutting, long history and rareness, every woman would go mad for it. Even Joanna could not help but take a few glances at it.

However, her face was brimmed with contempt. “I can’t believe you’re that shameless to say that, what a barefaced brat!”

“I have my reasons when I received the jewel. Firstly, we Morris’s are merchants, and a merchant won’t decline anything that falls into his lap, therefore I have no reason to reject Kingsley’s offer. Secondly, I knew very well that granny is a jewel collector. I knew granny would love this jewel the moment I saw it,

therefore if it’s not because of Caesar stopping me, I would have bought it. But, although I didn’t manage to get it since Kingsley is willing to give it to me, I’ll take it with delight.”

Joanna still did not understand what she meant completely.

Gianna then said, “I wanted to give this jewel to granny in the first place.”

Joanna’s eyes gleamed a little.

She was clearly moved.

She had heard about that jewel from others before, yet knowing that she would be incapable to get it, she never talked about it. Now that it had shown up before her, it was impossible for her to stay calm and ignore it.

“Didn’t Aunt Juliet ask my mom whether we’ve brought a present for granny? We did. But unfortunately…” Gianna let out a smile. “Granny said you won’t appreciate anything we brought.”

Joanna was totally backfired by her words at that moment. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She wanted to further persuade her, but she swallowed her words.

It was obvious Gianna did not give her any chance to regret it.

She glared straight at Gianna, and the magnificent sapphire between her fingers. She was itching to get it.

“Stop bragging here, will you! Is mother-in-law such a shallow person?” Juliet chimed in to make herself look more powerful.

Joanna shot her a glare.

She really could not do anything right besides making the situation worse!

Gianna could tell just by looking at Joanna’s face that she was now mortified as hell. She probably would not expect that she would give her jewel as a gift.

Seeing that she had truly brought the jewel here now, she had to believe that she did intend to give it to her just now.

She must have gone unhappier the more she thought about it.

Gianna quickly spoke, “You’re right, Aunt Juliet, how would granny be that shallow? She would never go against her words.”

“Certainly!” Juliet replied.

Joanna’s look was so gloomy that her face was going to turn livid.

Abbott instantly understood the situation and he immediately stopped his wife. “Enough.”

Juliet glimpsed at him and was looking extremely dissatisfied.

Joanna inhaled and said, “I don’t care for what reasons you received Kingsley Walker’s jewel last night, and I have no time to argue with you regarding that nonsense, I just want to warn you not to ruin the marriage between you and the Kennedy’s. You won’t have a second chance to marry such a nice man like Caesar, and you better keep that in mind!”

“I don’t need granny to worry about my marriage.”

“You think I want to worry? I’m just scared that the Kennedy’s would cancel the marriage. With your condition, do you think you’re the only one Caesar has to marry?” Joanna seized the opportunity and demeaned her.

Gianna thought that the tendency to consent and diffidence she had in her past were all mostly thanks to Joanna.

“I don’t know whether I’m the only one he has to marry or not, but I could tell you straight away that he’s not the only one I have to marry! Granny doesn’t need to show how much you care about my marriage, after all when grandpa wanted to let me marry Caesar back then, you’ve objected strongly.” Gianna said everything that she had not dared to say back then.

After all, the person who felt humiliated was not her after the dispute.

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Joanna was triggered by her again.

“Didn’t granny want to let Helen marry Caesar back then? You’ve even used various means to threaten grandpa, although you didn’t succeed in the end. Now that you’ve suddenly cared about my marriage that much, I can’t help but suspect granny has something in mind!”

“Gianna, Morris, how dare you---” Joanna’s face had gone cadaverous when she heard her words and she was so anxious to slap her to death at that moment.

“Save your energy if you want to ask me to get lost. I’ve told you just now. Of course, I’m not that insensible to continue staying here and wasting your time. I’ll say a few more words before I leave.” Gianna did not care about Joanna’s rage at all and she was still quite composed.

She said, “I’ll suggest granny not to care so much about the family matter. You’re not young already, and it’s time for you to enjoy the rest of your years. Plus, the young generations would work things out themselves, and it’s better for granny to stay away.”

“Why, are you mocking me for being too lenient?” Joanna snorted.

“Lenient or not, I suppose granny knew best?” Gianna did not intend to give her an out at all.

Joanna’s face went livid.

“Please take care of your health, do excuse us for now.” Gianna did not care about her feelings at all.

She knew her grandma too well.

Giving her a piece of her mind, and she would return the favour a hundred times.

Yet, from now onwards, she would hurt her pride.

Gianna held her mother’s hand and was ready to leave.

She seemed to remember something when she left.

She turned around.

This time, she was talking to Abbott. “Uncle Abbott, why aren’t you going to work when it’s not weekend today?”

Abbott’s expression changed drastically.

“And so are Baron and Helen?” Gianna raised her eyebrow.

“What are you trying to say?”Abbott glared at her.

“Nothing.” Gianna smiled blandly. “It’s just that I’ve suddenly understood the reason grandpa chose my father as the heir back then. If the company was handed to uncle, the company might have gone bankrupt now.”

“How dare you, you ill-mannered brat!”

Abbott went forward and wanted to hit her.
