These words really struck Sarah's heart. She felt even more wronged, so she added fuel to the fire and said a lot of bad things about Aria. Mary heard all of them and felt that she was even more certain of victory. A woman who dared to openly hit someone in the cross family was not worthy of dominic.
“Sister-in-law, this Aria is relying on Old Master cross to support her. She thinks of herself as the mistress. You must not let this slide. Sister-in-law, you can’t let Aria stay in the Cross family any longer. Even if you don’t think of yourself, you have to think of Dennis Cross. If Aria takes over the cross family one day, Dennis Cross will definitely not have a place in it. You have to fight back!” mary rolled her eyes, she continued to sow discord.
“mary, you’re right. This new daughter-in-law really thinks that she is the matriarch of the cross family. I will definitely retaliate. As long as I’m still in the cross family, Aria Bennett, will never be able to live in peace!” sarah, who had been hesitating a moment ago, now had a firm look in her eyes. Her tone of voice had changed.
Mary john said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I will always support you!”
At this time, a servant knocked on the door. “Miss, Mayor Cross is here. He said that he’s here to pick up his wife.” Hearing the servant’s words, Sarah got off mary’s bed in surprise.
Just as sarah was about to leave, mary stopped her. “Sister-in-law, can you stay here tonight? The two of us can have a proper conversation and we’ll convey to big brother that you’re not an easy person to comfort.”
Sarah was tempted to stay after hearing mary’s words. However, she thought about how her husband had personally come to look for her and realized that she should go to meet with him at least. She had to care about his pride.
Sarah said, “I’ll go out and tell him.”
Mary’s eyes were filled with worry, and her voice was trembling as she said, “Sister-in-law, I’m worried that Aria Bennett will have brainwashed big brother. If you meet with him, big brother will bully you.”
“You’re thinking too much. He won’t.” Sarah still had this bit of confidence, so she walked straight out.
As soon as Sarah appeared, Edward stood up and said to Director john, “Sorry to bother you, Director john. This isn’t a place to talk about business. It’s getting late, so I’ll take my beloved wife home first. If you’re free tomorrow, just come to my office and look for me. The door to my office is always open.”
Mayor cross did not give Sarah a chance to speak. He went up and put his arm around her shoulders. His fingers tightened slightly, reminding her not to stir up trouble again and to be obedient.
“Honey, I want to stay and talk with Mary tonight,” Sarah said.
......
Edward said, “There will be plenty of time in the future. It’s too late today. Why do you need to stay at her place? Let mary john come to our house to accompany you another day.” He did not agree with his wife’s wishes. He did not give anyone a chance to persuade her to stay either. He held onto Sarah’s arm until he pushed her into the car.
After Sarah's got into the car, she wanted to get out, but she was hugged by Edward. He pulled his wife over so that she would sit properly and let the chauffeur drive them to the hotel. He knew that his wife was angry and that she did not want to go home, so he stayed at the hotel with her.
When they reached the hotel, sarah sat on the bed and cried bitterly. “I was clearly the one who was injured. Why are all of you siding with her?”
“How old are you? You’re an adult, yet you’re fighting with a twenty-year-old girl over jealousy. You’re both at fault for what happened today. Stop crying and rest well.” In the end, Edward did not have the heart to say such harsh words to his wife. He could only comfort her.
Mary’s words echoed in sarah’s mind like a line from a movie. She struggled for a long time, but in the end, she still spoke with resentment. “Yes, I’m old. I’m not as calculative as her. Isn’t she just trying to push me away so she can be the mistress of the Cross family? I just can’t live up to her wishes. The older the ginger, the spicier it is after all!”
Edward was sitting next to Sarah. Hearing her say this, he felt that something was amiss. “Who told you that Aria wants to be the mistress of the cross family?”
Edward also participated in setting up the marriage between Dominic and Aria. In the beginning, that little girl deliberately pretended to be ugly so that she would not have to marry into the Cross family. In the end, she was forced to marry his younger brother under the threat of his father. How could she want to be the matriarch of the Cross family?
There must have been a misunderstanding.
Sarah and Edward had been married for many years, and their relationship was strong. She had never hidden anything from her husband, so she told him everything that mary john had said to her that day.
“Listen. What else do you dare to say? If she becomes the matriarch of the Cross family, with her arrogant and despotic personality, do you think Dennis will still have a place in the family down the line?” Sarah had a one-track mind. If she did not, mary john could not have led her on so easily.
