"Rebecca, you're right, I have to give you and Nelly an account of this matter." Granny Luisa pushed the door and entered with a loud voice, "Jeremy is not human!"
After entering the room, Granny Luisa continued ranting, "At first, he wanted a divorce, but now he doesn't want one anymore. What does he think of Nelly? This ungrateful guy, if he dares to show his face in front of me again, I'll break his legs. He's driving me nuts!"
Granny Luisa's scolding made Granny Rebecca hesitant to say anything else, even trying to calm her down, "Luisa, don't worry, sit down and have a drink of water, don't get too upset."
Granny Luisa walked over to Granny Rebecca's bedside, tightly holding her hand, and shedding a few timely tears, "Rebecca, I know you're soft-hearted. But I can't take advantage of your kindness and just let this slide."
Seeing her old friend in tears, Granny Rebecca also started crying, "It's not the kids' fault, it's ours. If we hadn't tried so hard to get them married, none of this would've happened."
"It's not your fault. Nelly is a great girl, it's my fault for not teaching that ungrateful Jeremy better." Granny Luisa wiped her tears away, "Even if you don't hold it against him, I won't let him off the hook. Rebecca, pack your things and come with me to recover, we'll spend all that guy's money together."
Cornelia, who had been ignored by the two old ladies, immediately stepped in when she sensed something was wrong, "Granny, I can pay for my grandma's medical expenses, there's no need to use Jeremy's money."
"Cornelia, that's where you're wrong," Granny Luisa said indignantly. "As long as that little jerk hasn't divorced you, I am his grandmother. It's only right for me to spend his money."
"Granny, I have money." Although still married, Cornelia really didn't want anything more to do with Jeremy. She didn't want to be controlled by him in the future because of financial reasons.
But Granny Luisa wouldn't listen, "He suddenly insists on not divorcing now, who knows what devious thoughts he's having? In case he's plotting something evil again, Nelly will be the one to suffer. You guys just listen to me, since he's not divorcing, let him pay for it and make him pay for his stubbornness."
Granny Luisa spoke with righteous indignation, as if Jeremy was a heinous villain in her eyes.
However, it was still up to her own grandma to make the final decision. Cornelia looked at her grandma, "Grandma, what do you think?"
Granny Rebecca thought for a moment, "Nelly, I think what Granny Luisa said makes a lot of sense. I'll go with her to Southern Peak to recover."
