The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 186

After the series of tragedies that had happened in the house, Madam Simons was depressed all day. On this day, she received a phone call from Claudine Tucker, who asked her out for a chat.

She didn't want to go, but she felt guilty if she didn't. She forced herself to accept the invitation.

Sitting in the high- end coffee shop, Mila Zordon looked relatively haggard compared to Claudine's radiant complexion. Claudine raised her chin triumphantly and sarcastically said on purpose, "Are you having a bad time recently? You look terrible."

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mila didn't want to speak nonsense with her.

"Nothing much. I just heard that you're going to have a grandson soon, so I want to congratulate you in advance."

Claudine's words poked exactly at Madam Simons's sore spot. Her face fell, "You don't have to say such words. I know what kind of person you are better than anyone else."

"Really? Do you know me as well as I know you?"

Mila did not speak. Claudine sneered, "Others may think that you are dignified, knowledgeable, and sophisticated. But in truth, you are just a mistress who stole someone else's fiance."

"Claudine Tucker!"

Madam Simons was furious and her face turned livid. "Don't cross the line."

"How did I cross the line? You snatched my man away. Do I not even have the right to complain? Considering how others would usually treat mistresses, I'm already very polite to you."

"I didn't steal your man. Instead, you should blame yourself for being so overbearing that you couldn't win Titus' heart," she said.

"Oh, yes, I'm definitely not as skilled as you are when it comes to seducing men. But now, you should have been punished, right? I heard that your son was also entangled with a mistress and had just divorced his wife. I am really happy to hear this news. I didn't expect that you would one day fall into this state. Your family was turned upside down by the mistress, and your son and daughter-in-law had all left, hahaha..."

When Madam Simons saw that Claudine was mocking her, she slapped the table furiously and said with her teeth gritted, "Even if I'm not living a good life now, you're not any better than me. Now you're alone all the time and your son has married a daughter-in-law that you're not satisfied with. What rights do you have to laugh at me?"

"I'm not satisfied with my daughter-in-law, but if I want her to give birth to a grandson, she will do it without saying a word. Could you do that? Your son loves your daughter-in-law so much, but too bad she's infertile. Oh, if Titus could foresee today, he would have carefully chosen his partner at the beginning. Choosing the wrong woman would destroy his life. It seems that there wouldn't be any successor for your huge family business." Swoosh...

Mila couldn't bear it anymore. She splashed a glass of water at Claudine's face, "We will see. Let's see who will be the last to laugh."

Staring at her back, Claudine's eyes lit up and smiled cruelly. "Let's wait and see, Mila Zordon!"

Yasmine Taylor got off work a little late this evening, and the last bus had already left. When she was standing at the intersection, feeling frustrated, a silver-grey Hummer stopped in front of her. "Miss, do you need a ride?"

She blankly looked at the person who was talking to her in the car. "Director Smith..."

"Come on up. It's free," he offered.

Seeing that it was late, she hesitated for a few seconds and gave in.

"I heard from Manager Xavier that you're very smart. You learned everything as soon as it's been taught to you." he said.

Yasmine replied humbly, "Manager Xavier spoke too highly of me. I'm not as good as he said."

"Really? When I first saw you, I also thought that you were smart. Are you saying that there is something wrong with my judgment?"

Yasmine's scalp tingled as she heard what he said. "There's nothing wrong with your judgment, I'm the one who's wrong..."

"Perhaps I'm good at adapting." she finally said.

Gabriel Smith gave her a knowing smile and said nothing. The car stopped in front of Chuck's house. Gabriel got out of the car and opened the door for her like a gentleman. He looked at the old building in front of him and asked, "Do you live here?"

"Yes," she answered.

"Will you be inviting me in for a while?"

"It's too late..."

As soon as Yasmine finished speaking, her Aunt came out of the house with a basin of water in her hands. When she saw Gabriel standing in front of Yasmine, she walked over and asked, "Yasmine, who is this?"

"Hey, isn't your name Madeline?" Gabriel asked.

"It's my nickname."

After Yasmine explained in a low voice, she introduced, "He is my boss, Gabriel Smith."

Then she unnaturally turned her gaze at Gabriel, "This is my Aunt."

Gabriel immediately reached out, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, Aunt."

When Mindy Yard heard him calling her Aunt, she was extremely flattered. She put down the basin in her hand, dried her hands on her clothes, and then shook hands with him.

"Hello, do you want to come in and have a drink?" she said.

"Well, it wouldn't be a disturbance, would it?"

"No, no, please come in."
