Chapter 193 House Rules


    Celine’s face paled. She had not expected Michael to speak up for Elizabeth.


    Richard nced at his wife before turning to look at Elizabeth. “Since it was your grandfather who


    allowed you toe.


    back, make sure you obey the rules.”


    Elizabeth ignored him. It was clear that she did not want to entertain him. This caused Richard to feel


    slightly awkward.


    What a useless daughter, just like her mother!


    Just then, Elizabeth said politely, “It’s gettingte, Grandpa. I’ll head back first.”


    Michael nodded. “Remember toe back in three days’ time, Lizzy. Your sister is getting married.


    She and Matthew will


    need to pay you their respects and give you some gifts. It is the Wade family’s tradition.”


    Celine was confused at Michael’s words.


    “Dad, she’s just her older sister. There’s no need for such formalities. People willugh at us,” she


    hurriedly said.


    Upon speaking, she red at Elizabeth, looking as if she wanted to rip thetter apart.


    Celine knew that nothing good woulde out of Elizabeth’s visit.


    She’s even taking advantage of Tiana and Matthew. Who does she think she is to receive my


    daughter’s respect? How


    shameless!


    However, Michael responded sternly, “This is our family’s tradition, the older child should get married


    first. Since Tia is getting married before her older sister, she should pay her respects to Lizzy as an


    apology.”


    Celine still could not wrap her mind around his words. If outsiders knew about their ridiculous rule, they


    would be theughing stock of the century.


    Why is he acting like Tiana did something wrong? Does he not know that his friends have been


    congratting him on his granddaughter’s marriage? It’s all because Tia is getting engaged to


    Matthew. Right now, no families in Mistwood could exceed the Hilton family. Even the elders know that,


    and they’re all impressed with Matthew and envious of Dad for getting an outstanding grandson-inw.


    This is all thanks to Tiana. Why can’t Dad see this? Ile’s even making things hard for her. Is he


    heartless?


    “Dad, it’s Lizzy’s fault for not finding a husband. me her instead,” Celine retorted.


    Hearing that, Michael nced at Elizabeth. Despite her stepmother’s nasty words, Elizabeth did not


    show any sign of


    annoyance.


    She still carried herself well with a calm expression, looking just like a wealthy family’s well-educated


    daughter.


    Michael nodded to himself in satisfaction as he decided he should shower his granddaughter with more


    love.


    “That’s enough. Both you and Tia shall copy the Wade family’s rules a hundred times,” Michael


    commanded. He had had


    enough of Celine,


    Thetter stared at him in shock. A hundred times? That’s even worse than not wearing makeup! I


    don’t want to! What’s


    wrong with him today?


    Celine had been incredibly busy these few days. Since Tiana’s engagement was nearing, the dresses


    had been brought in,


    and they needed to try them on. They would also have to send them for alteration if they did not fit.


    There were so many things to do. Celine did not have any time to copy some stupid rules a hundred


    times.


    Furthermore, she was about to be the mother-inw of a prominent family. There would be a lot of


    peopleing to


    visit her.


    Celine was not like Michael, who only needed to show up. He did not have to care about anything else.


    Nevertheless, Michael was the head of the Wade family. No one dared to argue with him.


    Richard gestured for Celine to stop speaking. The more she spoke, the more she would mess up.


    Yet, Celine was not about to go down without a fight. She quickly shot a look at her husband, forcing


    him to speak up.

    “How about this, Dad? Let’s put that aside for now. Tia is very busy with her engagement, and Celine


    also has a lot of


    things to deal with. They don’t have time to do that,” Richard said with a smile on his face, hoping that


    his father would


    understand their situation.


    Celine nodded in agreement. “I really don’t have time, Dad. Once the engagement is over, you can


    even tell me to copy the


    rules a thousand times. I won’t say a word.”


    Of course, she did not mean that at all.


    s, Michael shouted in fury, “So you guys don’t even bother to obey me now?”
