Chapter 697 Goody Two-Shoes

Noticing Jean’s hostility toward Sonia, Rose reacted with an even darkened expression. She then slapped the blanket and said with an icy voice, “What is your glacial gaze supposed to mean, Jean? Are you going to bite Sonia?”

Jean shivered a little upon hearing Rose’s lecture, shrugging her shoulders as she timidly looked away from Sonia with a bitter smile. “What’re you talking about, Mom? Why would I want to bite her?”

“Hmph! Your eyes make you look like you were about to eat Sonia alive!” Rose snickered nonchalantly.

In response, Jean kept her head down without saying a single word, knowing she would only make things worse if she continued to explain for herself. Meanwhile, Sonia quietly enjoyed the sight of Jean’s humiliation in front of Rose, gloating over her with a gleeful smile.

At the same time, Jean, who noticed that, was piqued and angry. “Sonia, you—”

“What do you think you’re doing?” Rose slammed her blanket once more when she noticed Jean’s aggression toward Sonia.

Jean’s dominance was weakened by the old lady’s words as she pointed at Sonia and complained. “Mom, she was laughing at me.”

“Hmph! You’re a joke. Don’t you think so?” Rose sized her up with disgust and added, “I’m not surprised about that because anyone would laugh at a joke like you.”

“How could you say that, Mom?” Jean was seen with her eyes wide open. “I’m your daughter-in-law.”

“And Sonia is my granddaughter-in-law, so if you ever dare to bully her, I’m going to make sure you regret it. After all, you need to know that you’re not as important as my granddaughter-in-law.” Rose gazed at Jean with a darkened look.

Jean glared at Sonia with her eyes turning red. “Granddaughter-in-law? Are you getting too old and dumb to realize she is no longer your granddaughter-in-law, Mom? Not only did you continue to treat her like your granddaughter-in-law, but you also gave her the bangle.
