Vanessa lelt aggrieved but didn’t dare to refute them because her retort would greet more rebuke.
Edith heard their words and suddenly felt that Vanessa was quite pathetic.
Edith thought, “Is this the marriage Vanessa wants?
Her husband could do nothing to family squabbles, her parents–in–law are vicious and unreasonable, and such a complicated living environment…
Her parents–in–law don’t care about her and even blame her when she is pregnant.
In their hearts, no one could compare with their son.
Fortunately…
Luckily, I didn’t marry Johann. Without such hypocritical parents–in–law, I wouldn’t suffer like this.
Although I did not deal with my mother–in–law yet, I suppose she must be amicable since she never interferes in my life.”
Seeing that Johann had gradually calmed down, Edith tried to withdraw her hand but failed due to his strength.
She gritted her teeth and shook off his hand. Then she turned around and said, “My task is over. You can take care of him. I’m leaving”
Johann’s parents frowned. “Edith, are you leaving? Johann hasn’t woken up yet. Who knows what’s going to happen next? Why don’t you stay a little longer?”
Edith found these words ridiculous.
She thought, “What kind of parents could say such words to their son’s ex–girlfriend?
I even believed you accept me but in the end, you just pretend to amicably welcome me and never show care and love to me.
You don’t take action just because of your son. You know the complicated relationship between Johann and Vanessa and stop me from being with him by hook or by crook.
After all, I am far inferior to Vanessa, the daughter of the Meyer family.
It’s shameless of you to ask me to take care of Johann when knowing he needs me. I and your son are over.
What do you think I am? What do you think Vanessa is?
Although I don’t get along well with Vanessa, we are cousins after all. Your unreasonable requirements are irritable.”
She took a deep breath and sneered with a solemn face. “Mr. and Mrs. Davis, it’s not appropriate for me to be here, is it? in your mind, I’m not the right person for your son. How inappropriate it is for me to take care of your son here?”
“What… what are you talking about? Is this your attitude toward someone much older than you?” Johann’s mother looked embarrassed and said angrily.
She thought, “If it weren’t for my son, I wouldn’t come to you.”
Edith added sarcastically, “When I was with your son in the past, I did respect you, just as Johann did. But now, I have nothing to do with him, and I am married to a Lawson. Don’t you think being a member of the Lawson family is much more honorable than being one of your family? After all, the Lawson family is much more powerful than your family.”
“You…” Johann’s mother widened her eyes in anger and pointed at her nose, lost for words.
Edith continued, “I used to respect you, but now that your son and I are over, what do you think you are to me? Venal people like you don’t deserve my
respect.
“Don’t presume on your seniority to force me to do anything. I came here for your son’s sake. Anyway, we won’t have any connections in the future. I’m very glad that I didn’t marry him. How excruciating it is to have parents–in–law like you. Vanessa is now pregnant with your son’s child. My family is indeed not as therving as your family, but we’re still something in Caurtine. Moreover, my family has more cooperation with the Lawson family now. Maybe my family will prosper and surpass yours. At that time, you will have to rely on Vanessa!
“So, take good care of Vanessa. If anything happens to her and her child, I’ll make sure that everyone in Caurtine knows that your son cheated me and Vanessa and you treat Vanessa harshly and reprovingly. At that time, how will all people in Caurtine judge the Davis family? Let’s see if you are still respectable!”
After she finished speaking in one breath, Johann’s parents were ashen faced and lost for words.
Vanessa didn’t expect Edith would stand up for her and scolded Johann’s parents righteously.
She saw a completely different Edith.
When Johann’s parents were shocked, Edith turned around and left.
Edith clearly knew she had to protect her and Vanessa in an aggressive way.
In fact, due to nervousness, she clenched her fists tightly, and her palms became sweaty.
Chapter 147
She hadn’t gone far when she was caught up by Vanessa.
“Edith, stop right there.”
Edith looked back and asked, “What? Do you still want to quarrel with me?”
With mixed feelings, Vanessa frowned. “Don’t think that I’ll change my attitude towards you just because you stood up for me. You knock at an open door!”
“Do you think I’m trying to help you? I just can’t bear to see you lose face! Weren’t you arrogant and domineering at home in the past? Didn’t you always boss me around? Now you married Johann and are pregnant, and you don’t dare to refute them? Well, you should have a good rest. But why do you protect yourself with some ridiculous reasons? You used to be very smart, but now you’re such a fool. I helped you just not because I am kind but because you suffered what I should have suffered.”
These words somehow moved Vanessa, but she quickly suppressed her emotions.
She thought, “I can’t be softhearted!
I couldn’t be deceived by her hypocritical actions.
She scolded Johann’s parents just to show off to me and humiliate me.
Right, she must be deliberate. She would never be kind to me.
If it weren’t for her, Johann and I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Vanessa clenched her fists tightly and said, “Edith, don’t be hypocritical. Just mind your own business!”
“Don’t worry, I will
*
Feeling Vanessa’s unreasonable attitude, Edith didn’t say anything more and thought she and Vanessa didn’t get along all the time.
Edith thought, “I helped the Meyer family and paid back to them. I will live my own life.”
She turned around and strode away without even looking back.
She went downstairs to take a taxi, only to find that her wallet had been left in the office.
Penniless, she couldn’t even get a taxi with the powered–off phone.
Edith thought, “It’s over. It’ll take more than half an hour to get to the company from here. It’s getting dark!”
A little distressed, Edith had to walk back.
It took her 40 minutes to walk back to her company, which made her feet hurt.
Unexpectedly, Carlos‘ car caught her attention.
She suddenly recalled that he said he would come to pick her up in the evening, but she totally forgot about it.
