Chapter 27 ILL Intentions
“I’ll die before I apologize to Laurel!” Nellie shouted in the hall.
“I’m not kidding you.” Bruno wasn’t even listening to Nellie’s explanation.
“Laurel beat me up. Why should I apologize to her? She is the one who should apologize to me!”
“Because she didn’t beat you up and you lied,” Bruno said slowly.
“Laurel really hit me! Why don’t you believe me? She hit me with Shelley!” Nellie’s eyes reddened from
anxiety.
“Laurel is sensible and gentle. There’s no way she would hit someone.”
“She hit me! Really!” Nellie sputtered in the hall, probably not expecting that her brother would not
believe her.
“I don’t want to see you make a scene. You have to go apologize to her tomorrow!”
“I won’t!”
“Nellie! You want our family to go bankrupt, don’t you?”
“Yes!” Nellie said capriciously.
Elise understood what was going on. She yelled at her daughter, “Nellie, if you keep being so
headstrong, I’ll get angry too.”

“Mom, why don’t you guys believe me?”
“I don’t care if it’s true or not. Go apologize to Laurel tomorrow anyway!”
“Mom!” Nellie was driven to tears.
“So what if Laurel hit you? Right now, the most important thing is to get Laurel married into our family.
Since you pis sed. her off, you have to appease her. After the wedding, you can bully her all you want,
but before the wedding, you have to put on a show.”
Nellie was so aggrieved that she couldn’t stop crying.
“Nellie, you’re not so young now. You have to think of the big picture. Don’t worry. Even if you apologize
to Laurel
tomorrow, I can help you turn the tables.”
Nellie wouldn’t listen at all and just kept crying.
“I will humiliate Blanca on her 50th birthday tomorrow.” Elise soothed Nellie. “Since her daughter bullied
my daughter, I’ll bully her.”
Nellie wiped her tears and asked, “How are you going to bully her?”
“Blanca has bad taste in clothes. I’ll be dressed up for
tomorrow and upstage her. Think about it. Blanca and I are future in-laws, so people will compare us.
When the gossip spreads, Blanca will lose face. I don’t even know how Blancal has the nerve to throw
herself a 50th birthday party!” Elise had a look of contempt.
In high society, male superiority and female inferiority were.

very obvious.
Blanca was able to have a 50th birthday party.
This made Elise jealous.

She had always had a high status in the circle of noblewomen.
Elise had a loving husband, a capable son, and a well-behaved daughter. All the noble wives flattered
her, and she always put on airs.
But even so, since Elise got married, she had never had her own birthday party, nor had she ever
invited the upper-class members to a grand birthday party in her husband’s name.
However, Blanca, who had always had no status in the noble wives’ circle, actually would have a
birthday party of this magnitude, which irked Elise to no end.
Tomorrow, Elise would let Blanca know that without status or Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
charm, she was just making a fool of herself.
The next day.
In the afternoon.
Just after lunch.
Suddenly, a lot of people came to the Lambert’s house.
Blanca was a bit surprised.
After all, she had not been told about tonight’s birthday party.

Blanca looked at the staff, somewhat puzzled.
“We agreed to celebrate your birthday with Dad tonight, didn’t we? I’m going to let you surprise Dad.”
Laurel had already thought of the excuse.

“I have a birthday every year. There’s no need to give your dad a surprise. He’ll be scared.”
“How can it be possible?” Laurel was a little upset as she said, “Anyway, follow them to have beauty
service now and then, change into a dress and put on makeup.”
“You’re messing around.”
“Hurry up.” Laurel urged her mom to follow the staff.
“Are you going with me?” Blanca asked.
They often had estheticians come home to serve them, and Laurel used to accompany Blanca.
“I don’t have to. I’m naturally beautiful,” Laurel joked.
Blanca smiled, “You cheeky kid!”
“Go ahead. I’ll accompany you when you change into your gown later.”
“Okay.” Blanca gave in to her daughter and left.
As soon as Blanca left, Laurel quickly asked the staff to come
to the villa to decorate the party venue.
Then Laurel called to tell her dad to get ready.
Laurel was busy for most of the afternoon.

After everything was prepared, Laurel went to her mom’s
room.
Blanca had just come out after the beauty service.
Her face and body looked as smooth and tender as a teenager’s.
“Mom, how do you maintain your skin so well?” Laurel unabashedly praised.

“You have the best skin among the people of your age we’ve ever served.” A staff member hurriedly
complimented Blanca, and what she said was the truth. “If I didn’t know your age, I would suspect that
you were 30 at most.”
“You kids are good at sweet talking.” Blanca was a little shy.
“I’m not lying. Not only your skin but also your figure is maintained well. From the back, you look like a
young girl.”
“Don’t exaggerate.” Blanca blushed a little.
Laurel felt her mom was adorable.
Her dad was lucky to marry her mom.
“Is the gown prepared?” Laurel asked the staff member.
“We’ll help her change right away,” the staff member hurriedly replied.
At this moment.
They took out a long black evening gown. It was covered in diamonds. At a glance, it was like the twi
nkling stars in the Milky Way. It was dazzling.

“Is this a little too gorgeous?” Blanca looked at the dress and was a little surprised.
“It’s gorgeous enough to mesmerize my dad.”
“Come on. We are an old married couple.” Blanca was a bit reluctant to wear it. “Give me a simpler
dress. I don’t want to frighten your dad.”
“I designed this dress myself,” Laurel suddenly said.
Blanca softened at that moment.
Blanca knew that Laurel had loved designing since she was a child and was extremely talented, but to
keep a low profile, Laurel’s family had never exposed the fact that Laurel had even won an international
award. Seeing that Laurel was a little bit depressed, Blanca couldn’t bear to refuse her.
“Mom, can you just wear it?” Laurel was expectant.
Blanca smiled resignedly, “You designed it. Of course, I’m going to wear it.”
She then followed the staff to change into the gown.
After a while, Blanca came out in the gown.
Laurel was amazed by her mother.
Blanca had a perfect figure and mature charm.
She looked noble, elegant, and fascinating.
