A Moment in Destiny

Immediately, Leila straightened up her clothes, nodding in shyness.

The car soon arrived in the villa. However, there was a luxurious car parked in the yard. Leila turned to look at Vincent in surprise. “Do we have a guest?”

Vincent’s expression slightly changed when seeing that car, pressing his thin lips tightly.

Leila didn’t know what happened. They both got off.

Leila went to fetch the bags from the trunk, and then she walked into the living room with Vincent.

However, as soon as she entered the living room, Leila sensed a different atmosphere as if there was a coldness in the living room, which was fulfilled with something weird.

Looking up, Leila found a mid-aged woman sitting on the sofa -- she looked both dignified and graceful.

In a daze, Leila stared at her -- the woman wore an adjusted cheongsam with a white print. Her figure was very well maintained. With the cheongsam wear on her body, she looked more elegant on her neck there was a pearl necklace. Her earrings were a gray diamond shape, and the material was unknown. Her hair was tied up, making her look neat and capable.

When the woman saw them come in, she gazed over at them. Under her gaze, Leila suddenly shivered, feeling so cold.

Then she heard Vincent call, “Mom, why did you come back?”

As he spoke, he walked towards her.

Leila was completely shocked.

Was this woman Mr. White’s mother?

Then she was her mother-in-law, wasn’t she? Leila wondered what she should address her -- calling her Mom as Vincent did. She decided to remain silent and wait for Vincent to introduce her. Leila gaped and watched Vincent walk up to the woman and hugged her.

Nora Morgan chuckled. Above Vincent’s shoulder, she gazed at Leila more sharply.

Leila trembled. Nora seemed to snort. Although they were far away from each other, Leila still felt her sneering at her. For some reason, she believed that her mother-in-law came here without bad intention.

“Mom, this is Leila,” Vincent made the introduction for them after turning back and seeing Leila.

“Leila, this is my mother,” he said to Leila.

Leila immediately walked up and put the bags beside the door. With a slight smile, she greeted, “Mom, nice to meet you.”

Nora nodded at her arrogantly. Her graceful and well-maintained face is full of pride and disdain. “Are you the second daughter of Mr. Hunter, the mayor?”

“Mom, please call me Leila.” Leila’s heart skipped a beat. She could hear the hostility from her mother-in-law’s tone.

“Okay, Leila!” Nora cast a cold glance at her. When seeing her cheap shirt and jeans without any jewelry and her messy hair, she snorted. “Can’t our White family afford you? You dress so cheaply!”

Leila felt panicked, blushed in embarrassment. Subconsciously, she looked down at herself - a shirt and jeans, seemingly quite cheap indeed. But she didn’t spend the money of the White family. She bought all of them using her salary from the part-time job. However, what Nora said made her embarrassed. Her teeth sank into her lips. She secretly looked up at Vincent, only to find him sitting on the sofa and loosening his tie as if he was an outsider completely.

Leila could only fight back by herself. She said in a light tone, “Mom, if you don’t like me to dress in this way. I’ll change it tomorrow.”
