Chapter 146 He Stands up for Her
When Victoria heard Curtis' gloating voice, her face contorted with anger.
"Curtis, you're very happy, aren't you?"
"Well, I'm quite happy," said Curtis with a smile on his lips.
"You..." Victoria was fuming with anger, her head aching. "Logan, you have to help me."
The cops ignored Victoria's struggle and directly took her away.
At this moment, the servant hiding in the corner secretly captured this scene with his phone.
After Victoria left, the living room of the old house suddenly quieted down.
Logan went up to Adeline and said reproachfully, "Adeline, what's wrong with you? My mother doesn't want me to be with you, but she has a reason. Which woman can accept that her future daughter-in-law can't have children? Regarding this, I take a proactive approach with you. I didn't say I would break up with you. What are you unsatisfied with? To be honest, I think I haven't done anything wrong to you."
He continued, "But why did you do that to my mother? Didn't you intensify the conflict between the two of you? I was trying to make peace, but you sabotaged everything. How can my mother accept you in the future after you did that to her?"
A hint of delightful surprise flashed across Jodie's eyes.
It turned out Logan's mother didn't like Adeline!
It turned out Adeline couldn't conceive babies!
That was great!
In the next moment, Jodie displayed her excellent acting skills. She covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Logan, what did you say? Did Adeline call the police to arrest your mother?"
Logan said angrily, "Yes. Moreover, she refused to reconcile. The police wouldn't have arrested my mother if Adeline had agreed to reconcile."
Jodie looked at Adeline in shock.
"Adeline, you're wrong. Ms. Riley is an elder, and you should tolerate her no matter what mistake she makes or what conflicts she has with you."
"That's right!" Logan echoed.
Jodie said, "If I were you, I would communicate well with Ms. Riley. If I can't solve the conflict, I'll ask Logan to come back and act as an intermediary instead of making a big thing out of it. The Riley family is dignified and respectable. If this spreads out, Ms. Riley and Logan will be embarrassed. We're young and should tolerate the elders for the sake of the family even if we have grievance."
Logan nodded solemnly in agreement.
Adeline felt a mixture of anger and amusement.
"Who are you?"
She and Curtis asked in unison.
After they spoke, they paused and exchanged a meaningful smile.
Curtis nodded at her with indulgence, motioning for her to let him speak.
Adeline was a bit tired at the moment, so she simply sat down and asked the maid to serve her tea.
Curtis wheeled up slowly to Jodie and asked again, "Who are you?"
Jodie had never met anyone with such an imposing air before, so she unconsciously took a few steps back in awe. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Logan spoke for her and said, "Uncle Curtis, this is my schoolmate. Her name is..."
"I didn't ask you!" Curtis interrupted him sternly and looked at Jodie with sharp eyes. "Who are you? What's your name? Do you think our family needs your opinion? If you were Adeline? Are you joking? Do you think you're qualified to say that?"
Jodie turned pale at his words.
Logan felt that Cutis had gone too far. When he was about to speak, Curtis continued.
"Logan, stop bringing irrelevant people to me from now on."
Adeline instantly felt much better.
Her husband had a sharp tongue.
But she liked it very much.
