Chapter 593
Hearing Shreya's angry roar, Vanessa shot her a cold and disdainful glance, just like those of the rich and wealthy. She did not smile at all.
"Old woman? I see the Clark family is getting more and more full of themselves. They don't even respect the Meyer family."
Shreya heard what she said and said scornfully, "The Meyer family is nothing..." She didn't realize what was going on until she finished her sentence.
Her face immediately turned pale, and her eyes were still full of uncertainty. "Me- Meyer family? The Meyer family of the Four Greatest Households?"
"It seems that you still remember. I thought that the Meyer family had been slowly forgotten because we don't usually attend banquets," Vanessa mocked her.
As for Shreya, her face became as pale as a white sheet. However, since she had already said those words, if she changed them now, it would be a slap to her face.
"Since you are a member of the Meyer family, then you should know the social status of the Clark family," she said with some guilt. At the same time, she also hinted that the Clark family had been their cooperative partner before, and therefore, she was one of them.
Vanessa sneered, "How would I know the status of the Clark family? I just saw how you bullied my daughter-in-law."
Her words were like a bomb to Shreya's heart. Her meaning was loud and clear; she was saying that Erine was the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family.
How... How could this be possible?
"Mrs. Meyer, what do you mean by this?"
"Other than being arrogant, you're not that smart either. It seems that you can't comprehend the meaning of my words."
Shreya wasn't stupid, but she just couldn't believe it. Erine, an illegitimate daughter, had no right to marry into the Meyer family of the Four Greatest Households. How was she able to find a better partner than her?
Everleigh's eyes flashed. She finally understood why Vanessa brought Erine out. It turned out that she wanted to let people know about Erine's identity.
Furthermore, her plan was going smoothly that day. It just so happened that Vanessa caught such a rare opportunity.
Everything was going according to her plan.
Hearing the words, Erine was surprised. She was just a fake girlfriend, but now, she was known by others. If the lie was exposed, it would be a slap to the faces of the Meyer family.
She was stopped by Everleigh when she wanted to say something. Everleigh shook her head, warning her to not say a word.
Erine was in a dilemma; she felt that it wasn't right to keep up this facade. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"Mrs. Meyer..."
"That's enough. I'll personally talk to your father about this matter. If there's nothing else, don't disturb us from shopping." After speaking, Vanessa went straight to pay the bill. Both of their clothes were purchased.
Vanessa dragged the two of them out of the shop. They didn't even bother to look at Shreya.
Shreya was shocked, but at the same time, she was unwilling to give up. What right did this illegitimate daughter have to deserve that?
"Mrs. Meyer, you want an illegitimate daughter to be the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family? Aren't you afraid that others will talk about you behind your back?" Shreya shouted loudly. Her shout alerted the surrounding people.
Vanessa's footsteps came to a halt. She then sneered and said, "Who would dare to provoke my daughter-in-law? I’m thinking of letting everyone see that even though the Meyer family is a noble family, as long as she's someone my son likes, I'll accept her. Only those with ulterior motives won't be able to enter."
Her words warmed Erine's heart, and her eyes became slightly red. She used to be very confident. Although she didn't have a father, she had a mother. However, when she knew about her identity, the sense of security in her heart dissipated. She was afraid that her identity would be unacceptable, and she was worried that she would be looked down upon.
However, that day... Someone was willing to accept her. She did not know whether she should be happy or relieved.
When Vanessa's words came out, not only Erine, but Shreya, was stunned. She had never dreamed that someone would protect Erine in such a way.
Vanessa snorted, "Let's go. We don't want our moods to be affected by this." These words were meant for Everleigh and Erine.
The three of them walked for a long distance before entering another store. "Thank you, Mrs. Meyer." "I hate these kinds of people. She is just a nobody, but she acts like she is right. You are my
daughterin- law. If I don't help you, who will?" Vanessa looked as if she had done something that was expected.
Everleigh laughed by her side. That was true. When she was troubled by others, Vanessa was the one who helped her. The atmosphere of the Meyer family was perfect. Very few rich and noble people could have such thoughts.
"Mrs. Meyer, actually..." Erine wanted to say something.
"Hey, we're here to do some shopping today, not to have a conversation. Everleigh, the two of you should continue picking out more outfits. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll pay the bill," Vanessa said in a very generous manner.
Everleigh knew her purpose and did not say a word. She persuaded Erine to pick out more clothes. However, she was also a person with a sense of propriety. She chose two pieces of clothing with reasonable prices.
Erine was the same, but it was as if Vanessa felt that she was being courteous. She insisted on buying more for her. As long as it fit, she would buy it for her.
Erine and Vanessa both went back to the Meyer family home, while Everleigh went back to the
Trevino family residence.
Ysabelle saw that they had bought a lot of things. "Why didn't you invite me to shop?"
"I saw that you were busy, so I didn't call you." Vanessa looked at the documents on the coffee table and knew what was going on without even asking.
Ysabelle didn't care. She had to deal with the official business sooner or later.
"Ysabelle."
"What did you buy? My mom has good tastes."
"Yeah, we bought too much because of that." Erine glanced at the paper bags on the ground.
She wouldn't buy so many clothes even if she intended to go shopping.
Vanessa didn't seem to mind at all. Every gesture of hers was filled with nobility. "You must make it a worthwhile shopping trip. Otherwise, how could you call it a shopping spree?"
Erine didn't have such a habit, but she knew that it was part of her good intentions, so she didn't say anything.
In the evening, she was going back to her dormitory. Ysabelle sent her back. On the way, Erine hesitated for a moment and said, "Ysabelle, you don't need to ask Mrs. Meyer to buy things for
me anymore."
"She can buy it if she likes. You don't have to worry about it. The Meyer family's money is used for spending. Otherwise, why would I make money?"
Erine was rendered speechless.
What a powerful reason! She had no words to refute her.
Ysabelle saw her embarrassment and chuckled. "You don't have to think too much about it. My mother really likes you, or she won't spend so much on you."
"But right now, I'm still not the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family. I can't accept such gifts," Erine explained.
"It's just a matter of time. You shouldn't be courteous. You've seen how my younger brother is, but I know what he's thinking. Erine, everyone in our family likes you very much, so please don't refuse him." Ysabelle's words implied that there was no need to be careful in the Meyer family.
Erine smiled and said nothing.
