I didn't expect, however, to meet Arthur's family so soon, his mother Eunice, the condescending woman.
I didn't expect her to show up at the manor, and in Arthur's conversation with me, his mother didn't feel much for him, but rather used him, used him to get the position of heir to the Brooksville family, she used him to steal her husband's favor, but she got nothing but the first.
To this end, she took all her anger out on Arthur, blaming him for being a useless loser who couldn't keep his father's heart.
Even at the wedding reception, I had never met this lady, so I didn't recognize her when she showed up today, and leann introduced her to me. “This is Mrs. Eunice, the master's mother.”
She looked so young that she couldn't tell that she was in her forties. She had a good figure and wore a sexy outfit. Her red hair was so bold that it made people feel especially strong.
“Hello, Mrs. Eunice.”
I saluted her respectfully, but she didn't seem to take me in her eyes, she looked up and down at me, “You look ordinary, the daughter of a fallen aristocrat, and you should be very honored to marry into the Brooksville family.”
What she said was very mean. She did not care about other people's face at all. Perhaps in her eyes, no one could be looked up to by her. After all, she was already a noble. How could she look up to the daughter of a nobody like me, although my family had its day, it was twenty years ago.
“Mrs. Eunice, you didn't call me today just to remind me of who I am, did you?”
I didn't show fear. After all, this is who I am. I've been banished, but I was a dewitt, and I don't have to submit to Eunice, even the young ladies of the declining nobility have their own dignity.
What's more, I married in the name of marriage, I represent not only myself, but also Arthur.
“Of course not. I just wanted to see what kind of woman Arthur cared about enough to go against his mother.”
“I don't know what you mean.”
Eunice seems like a tough nut to crack, but what she's saying makes me even more confused, I don't know what she's talking about, Arthur going against his mother for me?
Probably not, for he had never seen Eve before he married her, and could not possibly go against his mother for her.
But soon Eunice answered my question.
“As the wife of the heir to the Brooksville family, it is your duty to greet me, as Arthur Never Told You?”
I frowned. I really didn't know that. I even heard it for the first time today. It was really strange.
Is that why Eunice was here today? To make a fuss?
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. After all, she doesn't even care about Arthur. How could she care about me, the new wife.
“Mrs. Eunice, I'm Sorry I didn't greet you in person until today. Please forgive my rudeness.”
Even if I am not happy, but I still do enough noble lady's posture, after all, this thing is really my lack of consideration.
I married into the purpose from the beginning is not simple, but also did not want to get involved with his family.
And now that Eunice has appeared before me, I can not continue to feign ignorance, which is disgraceful.
Eunice said nothing. She approached me slowly, then raised her hand and slapped me hard.
“It's not enough to just apologize with your mouth.”
Eunice turned her wrist and frowned. “It's been a long time since I hit anyone. It hurts my hand. Do It yourself.”
The burning pain on his face was not only physical pain, but also humiliation and trampling of his dignity.
Even if she was Arthur's mother, she had no right to lay a hand on me.
“Mrs. Eunice, I respect you because you are Arthur's mother, but that doesn't mean you can bully me.”
“What, are you gonna f**k with me again?”
Eunice was like a spoiled little girl who didn't care about other people's faces, especially after I said something in rebuttal, which made her look even worse, “It seems that the DeWitt family had a very bad upbringing for a girl with a muddy leg like yours.”
“Mrs. Eunice, I'll say the same for you.”
I'm not some doormat who can bow and scrape after being beaten.
Just because I can't return the slap doesn't mean I'll put up with her humiliation, so I'll return it with my mouth.
Sure enough, Eunice was furious. She glared at me. “Eve DeWitt, who do you think you're talking to?”
“Mrs. Eunice, if you're trying to threaten me with your identity, I think you're mistaken. I'm Arthur's wife, the wife of the heir to Brooksville. Who Are You to lecture me? “I don't care about that slap just now. Just take it as a trick played by the disobedient elders. So, please put away your condescending attitude. This is not your territory!”
Eunice's face darkened with every word I said. She would never have expected me to be so difficult.
Eunice had always trampled on other people's self-esteem. This was the first time someone disobeyed her, so to prove her ability, she raised her hand again. Only this time, her slap didn't land on my face.
Because I grabbed her by the wrist. “Mrs. Eunice, you're behaving very unladylike.”
The same words to her, Eunice was about to explode.
“You f*****g b***h! How Dare You Touch Me!”
“Madame Eunice, I respect you not because you are noble, but simply because I like Arthur and you are his mother, nothing more. Therefore, I advise you not to provoke me. You have also said that my upbringing is not good. What if my rough slap hits your delicate face and leaves some marks?”
Originally I also want to give her some face, but Eunice does not know how to restrain, she wanted to continue, but I was born to pull the arm backward a heavy push.
Eunice extremely disheveled fell to the ground, short skirt can not hide the skirt under the scenery, even the black underwear has been exposed.
Leigh & Orange looked away, blushing, but couldn't bear to ignore her. She was about to pick her up when Eunice, acting like a Madwoman, slapped Leigh & Orange Hard.
“You Stupid Fool, why didn't you help me? You let me be humiliated by her!”
“I'm afraid you forget, Lady Eunice, that I am the mistress of this house, and that Leigh & Orange only does what Arthur and I say.”
Eunice would never have imagined that she would fall into the hands of a young girl like me.
She got up from the ground in a very disheveled state. Her originally exquisite makeup and hair were now extremely disheveled, but she still posed as a noble lady, “Eve DeWitt, I will make you regret your actions today, and soon you will be on your knees before me, begging for forgiveness!”
She was so arrogant that I just sneered. “I don't think you'll get what you want.”
Are you kidding? Kneeling in front of her and asking for forgiveness? What is she?
“Leann, see Mrs. Eunice out.”
Since have already torn a face, I also did not intend to keep her, directly under the eviction order.
Eunice had intended to kill my spirit, did not expect her own defeat, spoiled big miss, may hide in the quilt secretly crying.
I couldn't help laughing at the thought of it.
However, the mouth just moved, it was involved in the face of the scars, the pain of my frown.
Although the wound is not heavy, but after all in the face. This is the lowest form of humiliation, not only uncomfortable more people feel bad.
“Ma'am, you shouldn't have gone head-to-head with Mrs. Eunice.”
Leann sent Eunice away, and when he came back, he said this to me out of the blue.
“Are you telling me to stand still and take a beating? Leigh & Orange, I didn't do anything wrong and I shouldn't have taken the blame from her.”
“Mrs. Eunice won't Let It Go.”
Leigh & Orange looked worried, but when he saw the swelling on the left side of my face, he sighed. “I'll get the first-aid Kit and get you fixed up.”
I nodded and did not refuse.
Even if do not look in the mirror, I also know how ugly the face now, the face of the hot potion applied to the pain, I could not help but Hiss a sound.
“Sorry, I'll be careful.”
Leigh & Orange pauses, takes me seriously, and when it's over he puts the bottle back in the first-aid kit.
“Leigh & Orange, don't be so nervous. Everything will be fine.”
He seemed to have a lot on his mind. It was probably because of Eunice. In fact, he didn't have to be so worried. Eunice was just a woman that her husband didn't like.
In fact, I can understand the reason why she is not favored. She is beautiful, a standard beauty. Unfortunately, her character is arrogant and domineering. No man will like such a woman.
She even put all the blame on Arthur, it is no wonder that all these years have been ignored by her husband.
“Ma'am, you don't understand,” Leigh & Orange sighed, his expression grave, “Mrs. Eunice has been relying on the prestige of her mother's family for years. No one dares to be rude to her, Madam. You have done the worst thing.”
Because I pushed her?
I think it's ridiculous, even if her mother's strong, but it does not mean she can bully others, it is not fair.
“My Lady, I suggest you go and apologize to Madame Eunice before she does.”
“Leigh & Orange, I accept your offer, but I do not accept your offer.”
I didn't do anything wrong in this matter. She was the one who came to provoke me. She was the one who slapped me first. It was already tolerance that I didn't retaliate. Now, she even wanted me to admit my mistake to her. This was absolutely impossible!
Leigh & Orange opened his mouth and finally said nothing, perhaps he had understood that I looked weak, but I was a very thoughtful person and could not do what he said!
“Who did it?”
When Arthur came back, he first noticed the bruises on my face. He was emitting such powerful pheromones that it was almost impossible to hide them.
Alpha pheromones were extremely strong and could exert great pressure on ordinary people or even low-level alpha. As a result, all the servants in the manor looked extremely pale.
It's all because of me.
Arthur's pheromones are highly volatile, and if he can't control his emotions properly, he'll most likely suffer a greater backlash. This may sound like a Scheherazade, but I'm the only one who's ever experienced an alpha werewolf who's completely out of control.
“Arthur, you put the pheromone away.”
I tried to release the Omega pheromones, to calm him down, but his pheromones were so strong, that I couldn't help but shiver in my legs, even if I wanted to, in the face of absolute power.
Perhaps it was only when he saw how pale I looked that he came to his senses. He rushed up to me and said, “Lily, are you all right?”
“If you keep releasing pheromones, I might really be in trouble.”
This is not a joke, but he really has the ability.
He frowned and ran his fingertips over my scars. “Who did this?”
At first, I didn't want to complain to Arthur about such a small matter. After all, that person was his mother. Even though Arthur didn't like her, she was still his biological mother. Besides, she was in conflict with his mother over such a small matter, it will only make the relationship worse. Although she didn't like the woman, it didn't mean she wanted to see Arthur turn on her.
“It's nothing. I've put some medicine on it. It'll be all right soon.”
I took his hand and tried to distract him. “By the way,” I said, “You said you were looking into the Mafia
“Lily, you're not very good at lying. Tell me who hurt you.”
Arthur broke the casserole to ask the end, do not intend to let it go.
I have some helpless frown, “Can not not ask?”
“Lily, this is the only thing that can't happen.”
“What if I told you it was your mother?”
Arthur was obviously not to be fooled, and I had to tell him everything that had happened today.
Unexpectedly, Arthur, after learning everything, was incredibly angry, “I knew she was up to no good!”
"How so?"
“She asked me about you when I saw her, and,” Arthur said, glancing at my face, “She wants me to bring you to her.”
“She's an autocratic and domineering woman. I originally thought that as long as I ignored her, she wouldn't look for you. In the end, I was careless. I didn't expect her to come personally.”
No one would have expected this. After all, who would have thought that Eunice would be so bored and come all the way here to bully her daughter-in-law? She was indeed a special noble lady.
“Lily, I will get justice for you.”
Arthur so positive color, let my heart warm a lot, I hold his hand, soft voice way, “I have out of breath, she does not dare to come again!”
“How can you get hurt when you're Angry?”
Arthur pinched my injured cheek, the force is very light, but I still pretended to be in pain, he immediately let go of the hand, “What, Hurt You?”
I chuckled when I saw how nervous he was. “Mr. Arthur, you're a gullible man. Would you make a good successor?”
