Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 528

After dinner, Jimmy was called by his father into the study, as they would often talk upstairs. After Kobi watched the two went up the stairs, he slowly retracted his gaze.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Ella was giving Ariah a hard time. With his eyes narrowed, Kobi walked over.

At that moment, Ella was asking, "Ariah, you're going to hog my son no matter what, aren't you? Didn't you say you're divorced the last time I met you? Why are you now together with him again?"

With her eyes lowered, Ariah seemed obedient, but the words that came out of her mouth were the exact opposite. "Mother, I think you've mistaken about this. It's not that I want to hog Jimmy, and it was he who wanted to restore the marriage. I told him we need some time to calm down, but he didn't want to listen."

The moment Ella heard Ariah's words, she was pissed. "So you're saying that it was my son who shamelessly clung to you?"

In a low voice, Ariah muttered, "Well, it's not wrong of you to think so." "You...

For a moment, Ella didn't catch her breath, so she had to take a short moment for a breather before she told Ariah straightforwardly, "Do you know that I don't like you as my daughter-in-law?"

"I know. First of all, I have no special family background, and secondly, I'm also not pleasing to your eye at all. It's normal for you not to like me."

"But you still intend to restore your marriage with Jimmy?"

Then, Ariah cleared her throat and said, "I'm not going to spend my life with you, so I don't need you to like me."

"You...you..."

After Ella heard Ariah's rebuke, she stared at Ariah and said "you" repeatedly while she tried to catch her breath. It was obvious that she was very angry.

"Aunt Ella, don't be angry." Immediately, Jean stood up and patted Ella on the back. "You will only affect your own health when you get angry. Besides, some things are just not worth being angry over with."

When Ariah heard Jean's words, she raised her eyebrows and lifted her head to look over at Jean. Indeed, not only was Jean good at talking, but she was also good-looking too. No wonder she was able to win over Ella's heart.

Sure enough, Ella's expression gradually became much better.

Suddenly, Jean glanced at Ariah from the corner of her eyes. "Then what do we have to do to make you leave Jimmy?"

Stunned, Ariah asked, "What?"

Based on the tone of Jean's voice, it seemed as if Ariah was a mistress, and Jean was the legitimate wife.

It was just like what was portrayed in those dramas, where the legitimate wife would question the mistress about how she would be willing to leave him.

When Jean stole a glance at Ella and saw that Ella had no sign of stopping her, she knew that Ella acquiesced in her provocation, so she became bolder and snorted as she said, "You said yourself that you are not worthy of Jimmy. Anyway, you both are divorced now. What can we do to stop you from bothering Jimmy? No matter how much money you want, I can give it to you."

Lazily, Ariah asked, "Then how much can you give me?"

As soon as Jean saw Ariah took the initiative to ask, she knew that she stood a chance. Since Ariah's family was so poor, she must have been a gold-digger.

"One million." Elegantly, Jean raised her index finger.

"One million is too little. Do you think you're trying to chase a beggar away?" With a smile, Ariah raised a finger as well. "How about one hundred million?"

"You're crazy!" It was unbelievable. Did she even know how much a hundred million was? The audacity to demand such an exorbitant price.

"You said that you like Jimmy, but you're not even willing to pay one hundred million for it. I guess your love is really cheap." Disdainfully, Ariah uttered.

"That is because you're bidding too high!"

"Isn't he worth that much?"

"You..."

At that moment, Jean was about to flip.

"Jimmy's worth is way more than that." A deep voice sounded behind Ariah and made her body freeze.

Slowly, Kobi walked over and glanced at Jean as he indirectly warned her, "Miss Jean, this is the Hudson Family, not the Jackson Family. Be careful when you speak."

Just as Jean wanted to say something, Ella grabbed her and looked at Kobi. "Both of them made a mistake, but Jean is too young and insensitive. I will make sure to talk to her about it."

Clearly, Ella had a sense of propriety, too. In the end, Ariah and Jean's words were getting more ridiculous, and they were fighting as if her son was for sale, but fortunately, Kobi came out to stop them.
