Chapter 343
A few middle-aged women were gathered in Blue Mountain Cafe and could be seen chatting happily. Martha was very happy that
day. She could finally show off in front of her sister and friends. A pleased expression could be seen on her face as she shook
the jade bangle on her wrist. She said, “It’s nothing, my son-in-law gave this to me. I heard that it’s made of glassy jade and goes
for a few hundred thousand bucks.” The middle-aged women around her were extremely envious. Their eyes were glued on the
bangle on Martha’s wrist. “Martha, isn’t your son-in-law a well-known piece of garbage? How could he afford it?” One of the
women who had her eyes glued on the jade bangle on Martha’s wrist asked curiously. “Oh, that kid won the lottery a few days
ago. He bought this for me out of filial piety.”
Martha was blatantly lying, yet she was not ashamed of her behavior at all.
On the other hand, Paula scoffed. The other women were unaware of her personality. However, as Martha’s older sister, she
understood it very well.

Paula sipped on her coffee. She looked malicious as she rolled her eyes and said. “Why are you still
pretending?
What good thing can your useless son-in-law buy? It must be fake!”
Immediately, the air around them changed. Then, the group of friends suddenly began to change the
topic; they were all trying to curry favors with Paula now. “Paula, you’re going to buy bangles too? I’m
sure yours will be better than hers.” “Of course, Paula’s son-in-law is so much better than Philip. He
lives in a hillside villa, right?” “Hey, Martha, didn’t I hear that you were going to buy a hillside villa as
well? Which one?” This time, someone else brought up the matter. Consequently, the focus went back
to Martha as the latter had said that she would be buying a hillside villa. Martha blushed. She felt
somewhat annoyed. The reason why she had come out that day was to show off her bangle. However,
the other old women were now trying to ambush her because they were jealous of her. “I already
bought it.”
Martha said and took a sip of her coffee. She was so angry that she had started blurting out nonsense.
“Really? Where?” “Tell us, which one did you buy?” “Come, take us to visit your villa.” The group of old
friends was extremely energetic and excited. They looked extremely nosey with their happy faces.
Nevertheless, Paula rained on Martha’s parade and said sarcastically, “Yeah, she did. She bought the
First Palace in Longford Park.
It cost her 200 million!” As Paula said this, she could not help but burst out laughing. As a result,
laughter rippled across the room. When Martha heard Paula’s words, she became enraged. She could
tell that her sister had said it on purpose to humiliate her. When Martha’s friends heard Paula’s remark,
their excited faces instantly gloomed. Nonsense! Could Martha even afford Longford Park? They could
tell that Paula had said it to get a kick out of Martha. “Martha, you’re at fault now. Just tell us you didn’t
buy one. Why are you trying to lie to us? We won’t laugh at you.” Her friends jeered in schadenfreude.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey said they would not laugh at her, but their eyes and expressions betrayed what they truly thought.
Martha’s face turned white from green. Out of anger, she got up and pointed at Paula before yelling,
“Who told you I didn’t? I… I bought it! My son-in-law bought it!” To Martha, Paula was very infuriating. The latter had always gone
against her ever since she was young. She was so old now, and she was still trying to make life difficult for her. She had a
wonderful son-in-law, so what? As Martha thought about it, she began to hate Philip even more. He was the reason why
everyone made fun of her whenever she was outside. Damn it!
“Oh, are you mad? Can your useless son-in-law afford a villa? Stop joking.
Can you really believe what this penniless fool is saying?” Paula blew on her freshly done nails. Her face was icy as she made
fun of Martha. The last time she was in the old Johnston Manor, Philip said that he had bought a villa. How could Martha believe
such a blatant lie? She only had been driven to desperate action. “Shut up! What’s wrong with my son-in-law?” Martha was
enraged. It was true that Philip was always embarrassing her. However, she only lost her reputation after being exposed publicly
like this. Thus, Martha immediately pointed at Paula’s nose and yelled, “Why don’t you take a look at Samantha? How many men
did she sleep with before meeting Frank?” Your daughter is just a wh*re! She sold her body for riches, and you’re still so proud of
that? Hahaha!” Slap! The next second, something happened without warning!
