Chapter 25 Mrs. Riley Was Coveted While Mr. Curtis Was There

Logan's mother, Victoria, arrived at the entrance of Le Charme along with the five ladies from wealthy circles.

At that moment, someone among the noblewomen saw Adeline.

"Eh, Victoria, isn't that your daughter-in-law to be?" There was a big smile on Mrs. Hodges's face. She came up to Adeline and held her hands passionately.

"Adeline, long time no see. I miss you so much." As she said so, she looked at Victoria enviously, "How I am envying you! You can have such a daughter-in-law who is not only beautiful but also steady at doing things. Besides, she has good temperament!"

Adeline gently pulled away her hands. She smiled politely and said, "Mrs. Hodges, Mrs. Riley is my sister-in-law now."

"What?" Mrs. Hodges was so shocked. She couldn't think properly. "Who is your sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Hodges was the wife of chairman of Prodiff Business Association. Everyone in this city was always respect to her.

And she had a loud voice naturally. She always talked faster than she thought. Her reaction at that point was more like a hen which got angry and feather on it was sticking straight up.

Adeline didn't have exaggerated expression. She smiled, looked at Victoria and said, "Then you should ask my dear sister-in-law about it."

Mrs. Hodges was also a woman who had seen the world. She pulled down her face. There was also force in her voice. She asked, "Victoria, what's the matter?"

Victoria regarded herself as the first lady of Prodiff. She felt awkward being asked like that. She could only smile stiffly and answer, "It should be kept only in our family."

"Your family affair? Sister-in-law?" Mrs. Hodges frowned. Her eyes fell on Curtis who sat on the wheelchair. She was surprised and shout out, "No way, Adeline, you have married with Curtis the Cripple, haven't you?"

Adeline couldn't help tittering.

Before that, she had had contact with Mrs. Hodges and knew that she was a straight minded person. She talked what she thought inside.

At that moment, she also knew that Mrs. Hodges was just felt sorry for her, having no intention to mock on Curtis.

Feeling that Adeline was smiling, Curtis showed his unpleasant face a bit. He raised his eyes to glanced at Mrs. Hodges.

"Yes, she has married me who is a cripple."

"Holy shit!" Mrs. Hodges looked at Curtis with disgust. Then she took Adeline's hand and led her several meters away. She lowered her voice and said to Adeline, "Adeline, let me ask you first. Are you just girlfriend of Curtis the Cripple? If you are just dating, maybe it is better for you to date with my son. You can choose either one of my two sons." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Curtis, whose wife was coveted by others to his face, gritting his teeth while saying, "Mrs. Hodges, you don't need to worry about the relationship between me and Adeline. I have got the marriage certificate with Adeline. Now we are husband and wife protected by law."

"Ah, no!" Mrs. Hodges cried out.

She always liked Adeline. She respected Victoria so she did not ask Adeline to be her daughter-in- law.

She had never expected that Adeline was "kidnapped" by Curtis then.

Mrs. Hodges curled her lips and glanced at Curtis again. She complained in a low voice with Adeline.

"How would you, such a beautiful girl, marry that bad-minded Curtis the Cripple?"

"Adeline, the Curtis the Cripple is not a good man. He's terrible!"

Curtis cut in coldly before Mrs. Hodges could finish her words. He said, "Mrs. Hodges, you call me Curtis the Cripple all the time in front of my wife who just married me for not long. Is that alright?"

"I think it is alright. Why would it be not alright? Aren't you a cripple, or can you stand up and walk?" Mrs. Hodges answered without feeling anything wrong.

Curtis, "..."

Steffen, "..."

Melissa, "..."

Adeline couldn't help tittering again.

"Adeline, you can still consider about my proposal. I heard from my husband that Curtis the Cripple has met some problems. His business has been took away and his wharf was took away. He has no power now and no money."

"I don't need to consider about it." Adeline walked to Curtis's back as she said so. Her hands put gently on Curtis's shoulders. She said, "My husband treats me very well. It is not about the money.

We have enough money to live our life."

After finishing her words, Adeline looked at Victoria. She said, "Anyway, I need to thank my sister-in- law for her drugged milk or I would not be so happy like this."

Mrs. Hodges caught the point immediately. She looked at Victoria with surprise, "What the f**k? You gave drugged milk to Adeline? What a b**ch you are!"

After saying so, Mrs. Hodges felt awkward right away. She explained to Victoria, "Victoria, you know that I am a straight person. I say what I think inside. I don't talk in a roundabout way. Please never mind it."

Victoria looked worse then...

But as Mrs. Hodges finished her words, she felt very unhappy. She stamped and said, "What is it! Victoria, you are so insidious! You schemed your own daughter-in-law to be. What are you, a witch?"

"Besides, your son like Adeline a lot, right? How can you explain your crazy and conscienceless action towards Adeline when he come back?"

"And, if you don't like Adeline, why don't you scheme my son? I can accept it! I have eaten together with you for so many times and you know I like Adeline. Why don't you scheme my son? You are so heartless!"

After scolding by Mrs. Hodges for so long, Victoria felt like she was slapping by some invisible hands heavily.

She was angry! She was full of hatred!

Especially there were many other noblewomen.

But she couldn't do anything!

After all, Mrs. Hodges was the wife of Mr. Hodges, who controlled all the business principles of Prodiff!

She was so angry but she could only vent her anger to Adeline. She said to Adeline, "Adeline, it is OK. I was worrying about you to be unhappy after the marriage. After all, the legs of Curtis..."

Before she finished her words, Mrs. Hodges cut in, "What is the prolblem with his legs? Except for walking and jumping, Curtis is better than your son in all other aspects. Your son is just addicted to archaeology. He is always out of town. I once worried that Adeline would have no time to get together with her husband if she married your son."

"Yes!" For the first time Melissa felt that someone spoke out the things she wanted to speak. She helped with Mrs. Hedges and said, "Although Mr. Curtis is not convenient with walking, he can always accompany Adeline!"

Curtis raised his eyes indifferently to look at the two persons who stood at the same side. He said without any special expression, "Thank you for both of you."

Mrs. Hodges and Melissa answered tacitly, "You are welcome."

Curtis, "..."

Steffen felt his eyes almost dropped out.

It was the first time he saw that Mr. Curtis being inferior to others.

OH, god!

That feeling was great!

But Steffen still acted like he was so angry that he wanted to kick someone's ass!

Adeline heard their kind words. She also grasped the opportunity to fight back.

"Yes, I still need to thank Victoria. No comparison, no harm, I am happy to be with Curtis."

That was truth but also she said that on purpose to Victoria.

Because Victoria cared and love her son most.

When hoping to hurt someone, people must hit his tender spot.

Sure enough, Victoria got very angry when she heard Adeline's words.

"Adeline, what do you mean? You mean that my son is even worse than this cripple?"

Victoria was so angry that she forgot herself.

If a stranger said something bad about her son, it was OK

Because that stranger might not know her son well.

But Adeline could not say anything bad about Logan.

Because she had been together with him for three years.

In Victoria's eyes, Adeline should keep chasing her perfect son her whole life and missed her son. She should always loved her son staying with Curtis the Cripple!

But only for several days, Adeline seemed to forget her son and said those words .

How could she bear it?

Seeing that Victoria's look of a loss of form, Adeline smiled, "It seems that Victoria did not learn English well when you were young. Your comprehensive ability is so bad. Do you not understand what so many people are saying?"

After saying so, Adeline kissed Curtis's side face slightly to the face of Victoria.

"I just said thank you. I'm happy now."

But their happiness hurt Victoria badly. Victoria screamed aloud uncontrollably.

"No way! That's impossible!"
