44 -44: Standing Up for My Wife

The mother and daughter were talking when Mrs.

Carter came over.

“Mrs.

Carter, what a pleasure to meet you.”

Mrs.

Carter had changed into a long black dress and put on light makeup before coming out.

Upon seeing her, Mrs.

Parker’s face lit up with a big smile as she greeted her.

Sophie Parker felt a flood of emotions upon seeing Mrs.

Carter.

In her dreams, her relationship with her mother-in-law was far from good.

Mrs.

Carter was in poor health and had always lived a secluded life in Cloud Lake Villa.

It was only on the first day after her marriage that Sophie Parker visited Mrs.

Carter at Cloud Lake Villa.

However, that visit ended on a sour note between the two.

The issue started from her marriage to Carlos.

On their wedding night, Carlos received a call from Rainny White, left Sophie Parker behind, and did not return for the whole night.

It was only then that Sophie Parker learned of Rainny White’s existence.

Being of a proud nature, she couldn’t stand such humiliation.

She cried and made a scene and even went to Cloud Lake Villa specifically to demand justice from Mrs.

Carter.

Far from advocating for her, Mrs.

Carter reprimanded her severely, leaving a bad impression on Sophie Parker.

After that, Mrs.

Carter was very harsh on her.

Sophie Parker harbored a deep-seated hatred for her, to the point that she was unwilling to perform the last rites for Mrs.

Carter after she died.

Remembering everything from her dreams, Sophie Parker looked at Mrs.

Carter with a hint of hatred in her eyes.

But then she thought about how Mrs.

Carter would soon be angered to death by Carlos and how she herself would replace her as the lady of the beautiful villa, and Sophie Parker again felt delighted.

“Mother-in-law, we’re all family here, no need for formalities.

I should have personally come to receive you, but my health isn’t good and I can’t stand the wind, so I had the butler pick you up.”

Mrs.

Carter’s face was full of amiability.

This address of “mother-in-law” made Sophie Parker and Mrs.

Parker both stunned for a moment.

Behind the screen, Carlos was sitting next to Emily Parker.

On the way here, Emily Parker had shared some of her family’s affairs; her biological mother had passed away when she was in junior high, and it was the Parker Family who adopted her.

Carlos remembered something else.

The day Emily Parker moved into the villa, she only brought an old suitcase and didn’t even have a proper outfit to wear, unlike Sophie Parker.

When she was shopping for branded goods at Moonlight Department Store, she didn’t even frown.

Obviously, Emily Parker did not have an easy life with the Parker Family.

Carlos felt displeased but held back his outburst in front of his mother.

Mrs.

Parker came back to her senses and suddenly remembered that Emily Parker and Young Master Carter had been acquainted; could it be Mrs.

Carter didn’t know that their relationship hadn’t worked out?

Mrs.

Parker hurriedly said,

“Mrs.

Carter, it’s too much honor for us.

It’s that our Sophie doesn’t have the good fortune to be your daughter-in-law.

Sophie, come and see your Aunt Carter.

You almost became her daughter-in-law.”

Mrs.

Parker deliberately tried to foster a closer relationship between her daughter and Mrs.

Carter.

Her Sophie, beautiful and sweet-talking, even if she couldn’t be the daughter-in-law of the Carter Family, might well become a goddaughter to Mrs.

Carter.

Mrs.

Carter was somewhat surprised as she looked at Sophie Parker, who was pretending to be demure and approached her.

She shook her head inwardly.

“This Sophie Parker, it’s a relief she didn’t engage in matchmaking with Carlos.

Carlos certainly wouldn’t fancy her.”

Both visiting Cloud Lake Villa for the first time, Sophie Parker was dressed up like a peacock in full display, tacky and dressed in an inappropriate short skirt, adorned with a bunch of shiny jewelry.

In front of elders, her gaze was wandering, looking around carelessly, clearly a display of pettiness.

In contrast, Emily Parker, on her first visit to Cloud Lake Villa, though she only wore a T-shirt and jeans, appeared dignified and graceful.

Her gaze was also calm.

Madam Carter politely smiled,

“Ladies, what brings you to my place today?”

“Snow, quickly speak to Aunt Carter about that matter.”

Mrs.

Parker nudged her daughter.

“Aunt Carter, I indeed have a favor to ask of you.

I heard that the Carter Clan recently sponsored the Capital city’s ambassador contest.

I represented our university to participate in this selection of the image ambassador.

I was wondering if you could put in some good words for me in front of the judges.”

Before Sophie Parker could finish, Mrs.

Carter interrupted her.

“As for that, I’m afraid I’m powerless to help, I’ve been in poor health and haven’t dealt with the company’s affairs for many years.”

As expected, she was refused,

Sophie Parker was not surprised.

In her dreams, Mrs.

Carter was an obstinate old block, which is why her relationship with her husband, Evan Palmer, was always poor.

“I also know that such a minor matter shouldn’t trouble Aunt Carter.

Actually, there’s another thing, I feel it’s necessary to discuss with Aunt Carter, it’s about my sister Emily Parker.

She also participated in this selection, but she actually doesn’t qualify to participate because this selection requires a full-time undergraduate degree or higher, and she is just a self-study student who transferred from an associate to a bachelor’s degree.

To ensure the fairness of this competition, her eligibility should be revoked.”

Thinking of Emily Parker’s charming face and her figure that made men drool, Sophie Parker was very jealous.

The smile on Mrs.

Carter’s face faded a bit.

Did she hear wrongly?

They actually came to her, asking her to revoke her own daughter-in-law’s eligibility?

Mrs.

Carter was silent.

She had never heard such an unreasonable request.

Seeing Mrs.

Carter’s silence, Mrs.

Parker thought she was moved by compassion and quickly added fuel to the fire,

“Mrs.

Carter, I know you must think it’s hard because Emily Parker and Young Master Carter have been too close.

But Young Master Carter didn’t take a liking to Emily Parker, did he?

Lucky for him he didn’t, that Emily Parker comes from the countryside, she really isn’t fit for high society.

I’ve come today to apologize to you.

I didn’t expect her to be so shameless.

She didn’t work out with Young Master Carter, yet she went and seduced his secretary.

It’s a case of ‘like mother, like daughter.’ Emily Parker’s birth mother wasn’t decent either; she started out as the other woman and gave birth to this illegitimate daughter, Emily Parker.”

Mrs.

Parker berated Emily Parker’s faults.

Behind the screen, Emily Parker suddenly clenched her hands into fists.

All these years, she had been tolerating Mrs.

Parker’s words about her.

But insulting her mother, that’s not acceptable!

Emily Parker was about to stand up vehemently, but just as she was about to step out, her wrist was suddenly grasped.

The man’s hand was large and warm, Carlos glanced at her, his voice low,

“Sit down.”

After saying that, Carlos walked out under Emily Parker’s puzzled gaze.

“Young Master Carter?”

“Carlos,”

Mrs.

Parker and Sophie Parker were startled to see Carlos, mother and daughter both froze.

Mrs.

Parker didn’t expect the worthless Young Master Carter mentioned by her daughter to actually be tall and handsome, was he not much more outstanding than that Adam Willow?

Sophie Parker also didn’t expect Carlos to be at home.

Although she had seen Carlos once before, Sophie Parker was still attracted by the man’s overly handsome face.

Mother and daughter were stunned there.

Carlos approached the two, his mouth slightly upturned with a smile that was not quite a smile,

“Don’t we have someone to serve tea to guests at home?”

As soon as Carlos finished speaking, he saw the servants carrying freshly brewed tea coming over.
