Chapter 1556
Angeline anxiously tried to exin herself, "Mom, I take great care of every gift that Jaybie has
given to m e. This is the only one that I’m re-gifting to you because of your importance in my heart.
If you’re happy, Jaybie would be happy as well. I think he wouldn’t mind if I give you this set of
jewelry."
Chloe got even angrier and said, "You truly are maniptive. You''re trying to please your mother-in-
law to win your husband''s affection. Angeline Severe, let me tell you, I hate a scheming woman like
you the most."
Angeline was dumbstruck.
She had said too much and made too many mistakes. She should stay as quiet as possible.

Josie was furious at the sight, and she continued to re at Chloe.
Sis Shirley came forth to be their peacemaker. "Aunt Chloe, my sister Angeline anxiously came here
to see you, so there wasn''t enough time to prepare gifts. It would help if you forgave her for this
negligence as she’s still young. Next time, my sister will personally prepare you another gift."
Chloe nced at Sis Shirley, and her eyes fell on her
bulging belly. Her expression grew more rxed as she said, "You truly are the more sensible elder
sister. You''re pregnant with a child, so don''t just stand over there. Come and sit.”
Sis Shirley did not dare to disobey Chloe''s instruction and sat quietly on the sofa on the right.
Chloe looked at Angeline who was standing as still as a wooden stake. She said to her with a look
of despise on her face, "Why are you still standing around for? Now that you''re here, do something
and pour some drinks for the guests.”
"Yes."
Angeline picked up the teapot and poured many cups of tea before respectfully handing each of
them to the guests.
"Please have some tea."
These women looked at the pampered and domineering Angeline who was getting submissive after
getting reprimanded by her mother-inw. They instantly admired Chloe.
They proceeded to make cynical remarks. "Wow, Chlo, you surely are capable. Your daughter-in-
law''s personality has changed in front of you. She has be much more obedient now."
Chloe''s eyes were filled with a cocky light.
She smugly said, "A son is a piece of their mother, and a mother and their child are connected by
the heart.
This blood rtionship cannot be changed. However, daughters-inw are different. If they aren''t
any good, someone will rece them at any time. There shouldn’t be any confidence in being
arrogant."
Angeline bit her lip...
Mom was clearly saying these words to her face. If she did terribly, then her mother-inw would
rece her from her role as a daughter-inw.
Was she not being too overbearing?
Chloe was still dissatisfied and continued to probe. "D o you know how to cook, Angeline?"
Angeline shook her head. "I don’t."
Yorks Stronghold was still using wooden stoves and they were used to cooking big portions. These
methods were foreign to Angeline.
Chloe gloomily replied, "You should be learning if you can''t. Look at Judy. She''s young, but she''s
terrific inbat skills. Plus, she knows how to cook and make medicine too. What do you know?"
Angeline hated it when Chloepared her with Judy. What Chloe''s words implied was that Judy
was better than her and more suitable to be her daughter-! nw.
Angeline felt dissatisfied and turned around to enter the kitchen in the side yard.
Josie and Sis Shirley hurriedly went to support her.
With all the readily avable ingredients, Angeline started chopping up the bacon and mincing the
garlic cloves... She made herself awfully busy.
She had just recovered from a severe illness, and her weary body was already an old problem. Her
body would get even more fatigued if she were to get anxious. At this moment, she was so busy
that she was a little unsteady on her feet.
Sis Shirley worriedly looked at Angeline and suddenly grabbed the knife over. She said in a pique, "I
can see i t now, Angeline. Your mother-inw is deliberately targeting you. Your body cannot
withstand her torment. Pack up your bags along with Jay and go back to the capital."
Josephine nodded in agreement. "Sis Angeline, even Sis Shirley can''t stand it anymore and she''s
the most patient among us. Don''t insist on staying here. Fleeing is one of the best options right
now."
