My Mute Bride Chapter 291

Chapter 291 The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend

Startled, Gloria froze. Supporting her weight, Rachel turned back to ask Jolly in exasperation, “Can’t you say something good for once in your life?”

“Well, it’s my first time meeting a piano prodigy! I never knew prodigies were like that—so full of emotion that they would weep the moment they met someone.” Obviously irritated, Jolly had her arms crossed and was rolling her eyes at Gloria as she spoke.

Frowning, Gloria asked, “Who are you?” “Jolly Carter, the heir of Carter Enterprise,” Rachel explained. “And Rachel’s best friend!” Jolly immediately added, emphasizing ‘best’ as she stood with hostility behind Rachel.

At that, Gloria’s frown deepened. “Best?”

Jolly took measure of her, and her expression seemed to say, “What? Do you have a problem with that?”

To her surprise, Gloria didn’t reply to her but instead caught hold of Rachel’s arm. “Let’s have dinner in the evening, Miss Rachel. I haven’t had the local cuisine in a while.”

“Local food? I want some as well!” A young voice said behind the trio as Charlotte rushed up to them. “Mommy, Aunt Gloria, I want to go with you!”

Before Jolly could interject, Rachel was already agreeing amiably as she ruffled Charlotte’s hair.

Infuriated, Jolly caught hold of Samuel, whom she saw strolling in. “Samuel and I want to go as well, Chris. He loves the local cuisine.”

Mystified, Samuel said, “Huh? But I want to have pizza today.”

“Are you sure?” Jolly glared at him.

Grimacing, Samuel corrected, “I mean… I want to have dumplings.”

“Let’s go, then,” Justin’s voice echoed over from behind Samuel.

Annoyed to see him, Jolly snapped, “What does it have to do with you? Did we say we were bringing you along?”

“I’m merely welcoming Gloria,” he pointed out self-righteously.

Of course, Jolly was enraged to have everyone gang up on her like that.
