Chapter 159 Kick I When She Is Down


    "Cousin, I …" Becky bit her lip, her eyes asking for Joanna''s help. Joanna had been watching quietly.


    She mulled over, ''I will find out what kind of person I is. There is no need to make an ugly scene. If


    she is highly cultured and reasonable, I will talk to her and solve the problem peacefully.'' I turned out


    to be an arrogant woman. Joanna decided to change her strategy and get straight to the point.


    She didn''t expect all of this to have been plotted by Becky. Becky provoked and angered I on


    purpose so that Joanna would think the worst of her, forming a stark contrast with her virtuous and


    good-natured character. Becky believed that she was the better partner for Aron,pared to such an


    impolite and rude I.


    "Becky, are you alright?" Joanna asked with her brows knitted as she got Becky back on her feet.


    Becky cast an angry look in I''s direction and replied, "Grandmother, I am okay." When I heard


    Becky call the old woman "Grandmother", she realized who Joanna was and why Becky created this


    drama. I thought, ''Becky did all of this intentionally so that Aron''s grandmother will think badly of me.


    Becky will do everything she can just like she did four years ago to push me away from Aron.''


    "You are Miss Zhao, aren''t you?" Joanna sneered at I, "I am Aron''s grandmother. But I don''t know if


    it is my ce to talk to you about Aron."


    "Madam, things are not as what Becky has told you. She took Aron away from…" I was anxious to


    exin. She had never forgotten Aron all these years. Although she has not yet agreed to be Aron''s


    girlfriend, she wanted to show the best of herself in front of his grandmother. After all, if Aron''s family


    didn''t like her, it would be a big problem for him. So I wanted to tell the truth about the story of their


    love and what a bad person Becky was.


    But Becky wouldn''t give I any chance to exin herself. She said in a low and sad voice as she held


    Joanna''s hand, "Grandmother, let''s go. There is no need to talk to her. If Aron knew we came here, he


    would get angry. I am sure he will think Ipelled you to bother I."


    "Don''t worry!" Joanna said without reservation, "Since we are already here, let''s be frank and put our


    cards on the table. If Aron asks about this, I will stick up for you. Miss Zhao, I agree with you. There is


    no need to waste time. I am telling you now, Becky will be my granddaughter-inw. I will never allow


    you to marry Aron."


    Joanna gave I an icy smile and continued, "Over thest four years, Becky is the one who has


    always been with Aron and taken care of us. We have already epted her as our granddaughter-in-


    eyes on. Why are you so determined to get in between your cousin and Aron? Don''t you feel


    shameful? Has no one ever taught you manners?"


    "Grandmother, it''s just a misunderstanding. The truth is four years ago, Becky, she…. " Joanna


    interrupted I, "Stop. Please address me as ''Madam''. Don''t call me grandmother. In my heart, you will


    never be Aron''s partner." Becky had told Joanna too many bad things about her.


    I turned pale. Not only did she feel angry, she was also embarrassed. Becky''s bad mouthing her and

    Joanna''s disdain had made her lose face. She worried that her colleagues would gossip about this.


    I calmed herself and said through gritted teeth, "Madam, what happened in the past wasn''t like what


    Becky told you. Aron and I already had ns to get married. He even promised to take me to visit you


    and his grandfather. Then … Out of nowhere, Becky came into our lives."


    Joanna looked at Becky searching for a reply. Becky denied, "Grandmother, you don''t believe what she


    is saying, do you?


    They are all lies. She has twisted the truth." Becky knew that Joanna would believe whatever she said.


    She said shamelessly, "Grandmother, you mustn''t believe her."


    Joanna started to be suspicious of Becky when she heard I''s words, but still sided with Becky.


    She angrily said, "Miss Zhao, you are young and pretty. Why do you still need to be cunning? I have


    raised Aron since he was a kid. I am well aware of who he is. I know the way his mind works. If he


    really loved you, he would have brought you to us and asked our permission for your marriage. There


    is no need to wait that long. Moreover, Becky is the girl who has been with him all this time, not you.


    What do you think of me, an old fool?"


    "Madam, what I said is true…" I was determined to turn the situation to her favor. However, Pa


    who was watching nearby, took the opportunity to kick I when she was down. "Miss Zhao, you have


    only been with thispany for a short time, but you set a good example for us. Your ability is


    undisputed, or you won''t have been our nning manager on your first day. But today you are wrong.


    There are many outstanding but avable men out there. Why do you still have your eyes on your


    cousin''s boyfriend. Aren''t you ashamed?"


    "You, shut up!" I yelled at Pa angrily. She had no one on her side. Owing to Becky''s nder, she


    had already gotten embarrassed and frustrated. And Pa''s added insults made her furious. She


    couldn''t fight with Joanna because she was Aron''s grandmother. Since she still loved Aron, she


    couldn''t afford to go against Joanna. But with Pa, there was no need to restrain her anger. She


    questioned, "Why are you here? This is none of your damn business."


    "What? Is it so unbearable for me to tell the truth?" Pa thought, ''You have three opponents here


    today. Ye is not here to help you. It''s impossible to fight all of us and win.'' Her lips twisted mockingly,


    "The climate in thepany has changed since you and Ye started working here. Ye knew Mr. Lu was


    married and yet she seed in convincing him to buy thispany for her. Now, you covet your


    brother-inw. As the proverb goes, ''Birds of a feather flock together.'' No doubt you two are best


    friends. Both of you are good at calcting and seducing men."


    There was quite a lot of rumors about Autumn and Charles and the employees had be more and


    more suspicious. It was hard to ignore that Charles bought Cloud Advertising Company just to give it to


    Autumn Ye. It somehow sparked the rumor that she was Charles'' lover. There was an uproar in the


    crowd after Pa''s remarks.


    "Pa is right. Ye knew Mr. Lu is married, but she persuaded him to buy thispany for her. What a


    maniptive bitch."


    "Yeah, I agree. Ye used to be silent and kept to herself. I didn''t realize she would do such a thing. Such


    indecency! Mr. Lu has gotten married not long ago."
