Be’s expression remained unchanged.
Be knew how insidious and duplicitous Shannon could be. What Shannon was hinting at M was
that Be was a divorced and gold-digging country girl who liked to seduce rich men.
Jean, Shannon, and their daughtersughed sinisterly.
The Thompson family and the Salvador family were at odds with each other. As the eldest son of Wyatt
Thompson, Asher had a high social status and could get any kind of woman he wanted. How could he
take a fancy to Justin Salvador’s ex-wife?
It would only make Asher aughingstock.
Justin frowned slightly. His dazzling eyes were filled with anger. “Aunt Shannon, this is my private
matter. You have no right toment on it.”
“Justin, although this is your private matter, it’s also rted to the reputation of the Salvador family and
the Thompson family. I’m only telling Mrs. Thompson this so that she won’t be startled to find out that
Anna is your ex-wife in the future. I’m just doing it for everyone’s good!” Shannon kept talking
nonsense.
“The reputation of our families? Didn’t Ms. Brown divorce Mr. Salvador? Divorce means that she no
longer has any rtionship with your family. Mrs. Salvador, why do you still think that what Ms. Brown
does will embarrass your family?”
M smiled coldly. “Does it mean that she has signed her life to you before marrying into the Salvador
family? Is she forever tied to your family? There is nothing shameful about Ms. Brown marrying Asher if
they are fit for each other. Do you think the Thompson family won’t ept her just because she is
divorced? What era are we in now? Mrs. Salvador, you should be more open-minded about these
things.”
As soon as M said this, Ryan apuded. It was such a relief to hear M diss Shannon.
Jean, Rosalind, and Bethany looked shocked as they stood there in embarrassment, not daring to say
a word.
They all thought that M was being overprotective of Anna.
“Mrs. Thompson, you’re also from a wealthy family, so you must understand what I mean, right?”
When Shannon saw that M did not fall for her trick, she was embarrassed and anxious. Her face
turned red. “Ms. Brown got together with Mr. Thompson as soon as she divorced Justin. If word of this
spreads, people will think that Ms. Brown had an illicit rtionship with Mr. Thompson while still married
to Justin. That’s embarrassing. Mrs. Thompson, now that you are the matriarch of the Thompson
family, you should n for your children’s future, don’t you think?”
“That’s enough!”
M frowned and raised her slender hand. She was more graceful than Shannon could ever be. “This
is between the children. Although I am an elder, I am not Asher’s mother, so I have no right to interfere.
Mrs. Salvador, you’re not Mr. Salvador’s birth mother, right? Don’t you think what you’re saying is
disrespectful?”
“I…” Shannon was rendered speechless.
“Also, Wyatt is my partner, but I am not the matriarch of the Thompson family. I don’t want to hear this
from you again, Mrs. Salvador.”
M’s stern words were so frightening that Shannon’s face turned as white as paper. Her expression
was also stiff.
Be bit her red lips and felt a soreness in her nose.
There would only be one matriarch in the Thompson family, and that was Be’s mother.
Justin’s thin lips turned white, and his cold eyes flickered.
He did not like Anna and was married to her in name only. She even caused trouble for him and
provoked him time and time again.
However, when Shannon ridiculed her harshly, he felt as if his dignity was being trampled on.
“Ms. Brown, are you going to see Asher? I’ll take you there.” M’s gentle eyes fell on Be.
“Thank you, Mrs. Thompson. Sorry to trouble you.” Be smiled tenderly, like a prim and properdy.
“You’re such a polite and beautiful girl.”
M took Be’s hand and caressed it gently. She said loudly on purpose, “Asher has really good taste
to choose you as his girlfriend.”N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.
