Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO Chapter 151
Chapter 151 Daisy’s Taunts
When Betty left the office, she received a
phone call from her father.
“I heard your mother woke up. How is she? Is she hospitalized again?” Roger began.
“Yeah, she has. She is okay and needs
recuperation,” Betty replied.
Roger recalled the past.
Sherry’s dark hair drooped down to her shoulders, and her cherry lips were enchanting. He fell for her
at fight sight.
However, the Watson family had been doing business with the family of Daisy’s mother. In the middle of
a major crisis, they couldn’t afford to offend their partner.
He had no choice except to abandon Sherry. Now he only hoped that she would forgive
him.
Sherry.
Sherry had woken up, and he missed her very much. He wanted to call her and hear her
tvoice.
While Roger was lost for words, Daisy came up and snatched the phone away.
“Betty? This is Daisy. Come over for dinner this weekend. I won’t take no for an answer.”
Upon hearing Daisy’s voice, Betty hated her father for being such a wimp. Howe he fell in love
with such a tough woman back
then?
Betty didn’t want to go. Thest experience of dining with them was not a happy one. She
would rather not see them.
So, she replied, “I’m afraid I have to work on
Sunday.”
Daisy sneered. “It’s alright. Your brother is your boss, right? Let him cancel your shift. No more
excuses. You have toe.”
never been in her dictionary.
Betty had to agree.
Daisy hung up the phone, rolled her eyes at Roger, and gloated. “Don’t look for Sherry again. Act like
she hasn’t woken up.”
Roger intended to ask more about Sherry,
but Daisy hung up the phone. Crestfallen, he
fell silent and decided to ask his daughter in
private when she came over on Sunday.
From the wry look on Betty’s face, Kerwin
could tell the person on the other end of the
phone was unfriendly.
“How about I go with you?” he said.
Betty hesitated for a moment and declined,
“It’s alright. I’ll go by myself.”
It was not that she didn’t want to take
Kerwin to her father’s ce. She just knew
the situation with her family and those
people too well. Thest thing she wanted was to get Kerwin involved.
Kerwin would spare no effort protecting her,3
and the dinner would end up as a farce. Betty didn’t want to lose face in front of him.
On Sunday, Betty arrived at the house of the
Watson family as promised.
She rapped on the door.
The nanny came and invited her in.
Daisy was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee.
Across from her sat Emily and Jeffrey.
At the sight of her, Daisy stood up and struck
an attitude. “You’rete. Everyone has been
waiting for you.”
Jeffrey turned around. His heart skipped a
beat the moment he saw Betty.
“Sorry, I was caught in a traffic jam,” she
exined.
To smooth things over, Jeffrey said, “It’s okay. We’ve just arrived too.”
Emily was stone-faced and indifferent.
husband toe for dinner. I don’t know what he is doing in the study.”
Betty could feel Daisy’s good mood, and it
was surprising that the woman didn’t make things difficult for her. Is there anything worth celebrating?
Roger came out of the study. The sight of Betty delighted him.
With a smile on his face, he said, “Betty,
you’re here. Come on, let’s go for dinner.”
Betty followed him to the dining table.
The table looked fancy with arge bouquet,
various delicacies, and a bottle of Roger’s
vintage wine sitting on it.
After everyone was seated, they each poured
a ss of wine.
Daisy raised her ss and announced, “It’s at big day today. I am so happy. My dear daughter, Emily,
is pregnant! Jeffrey and she are getting married soon.”
She was swelling with pride.
Now Betty realized why Daisy was so persistent in inviting her over. Daisy meant
to show off. Old habits die hard.
She ingratiated herself with Jeffrey, picking
up dishes for him from time to time.
Betty remained silent and bent her face over
her te. Daisy misinterpreted her frown as
self-abasement.
She mocked Betty on purpose, “Betty, you’ve got married. Why didn’t you bring your husband over and
let him meet your father?
Is he so poor that you’re embarrassed to bring him home? No pressure, hehe… Few
men canpare with Jeffrey anyway.”
Putting down her knife and fork, Betty said, “I’m full. You guys enjoy your dinner.”
“What’s the rush? Have more sses of
wine. Don’t be a wet nket,” Daisy said.
Emily tried to stop Daisy from acting like that, but she would neither listen nor understand it.
Jeffrey felt sorry for Betty and intended to protect her.
He was just in no ce to do that. He was going to marry Emily after all.
Daisy continued, “The wedding ring on your finger is low in quality. Is your husband able to provide for
you? The two of you are not expected toe and borrow money from your father. s, without charm
and chastity, a woman can only marry a poor guy. Her fate is sealed. What a shame! Women deserve
carefree, affluent, and happy lives. What a shame! Betty, you’re pitiful. Sigh.”
“Mom, let’s talk about something else.”
Emily was trying to silence her mother.
Daisy would not listen.
Today, Daisy would let Betty know that she could neverpare with Emily.
She added, “Emily is a kind-hearteddy. She doesn’t want her sister to feel inferior.
Don’t take it to heart or dream about changing your destiny. It’s hard for poor people to make money. It
takes great capability to be a millionaire. Jeffrey is
the young master of the Martin family. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and we have no
worries when Emily is staying with him. He would give the best of everything to her.”
“Mom! Cut it out.” Daisy’s words
embarrassed Emily. Betty’s husband was
outstanding, and her mother was being ridiculous.
Not ready to give up, Daisy intended to continue when Roger received a phone call.
