Rebirth: Marry the Enemy of My Badass Husband

Chapter 10: A Warning to Madame Morris

The Morris’s old mansion was not situated in Kouby City.

It was situated in a town outside the suburban area and the old mansion basically occupied half of the town area.

A lot of towns had lost their original looks due to exploitation, only the town where the Morris’s old mansion located still kept all its quaint buildings.

There were property developers who wanted to purchase the old mansion in the first place too, and they certainly could not reach a consensus regarding the price. The place naturally became a “getaway paradise”. Since the urban planning bureau found it impossible to exploit there, they came up with a great idea to make it a tourist spot, and they did successfully attract many tourists. The main gate of the old mansion had frequently appeared on internet celebrities’ Weibo pages and the place gradually became a spot for internet celebrities to take pictures and post on social media.

Gianna and Fiona went past the vermillion gate and entered the Morris’s old mansion.

A huge yard showed up before them. After going across the yard, there was a fake hill with a brook, and a pond full of lotus leaves. They walked past a small green bridge, several lanes and around many quaint houses of different variations. They then saw a lofty gate. The main house of the mansion was situated right behind the gate. The main house looked utmost majestic and grand with its delicate sculptures and buildings.

Meanwhile, the only elder of the Morris’s, Joanna was sitting in the middlemost spot of the main house and she looked terrible.

Abbott and his family were sitting at both sides.

Abbott actually had his own villa in the city, yet to show that he was a good son, he let the whole family move back to the old mansion in recent years. He had indeed tried his very best to demonstrate his loyalty towards his mother!

Gianna looked around and greeted her. “Good afternoon, granny.”

“I only ask you to come, why did you let her follow?” Joanna did not intend to be kind to her at all and she straightaway chastised her. “Why, are you scared that I’ll bully you!”

“Of course not, mother. It’s just that after knowing you’ve asked Gina to come here, and it’s been so long not seeing you, I want to visit you,” Fiona quickly explained.

“Why, Fiona, I didn’t see you prepare any gift when you pay your visit here. How sincere!” Juliet teased and her face was full of contempt.

Gianna turned and glanced at her.

She cooperated with her when she helped her to criticize Gemma back then, yet she instantly changed her attitude when she wanted to gain the old lady’s favor.

“Who says we didn’t prepare any gift for granny?” Gianna retorted.

“Then where’s the gift? Take it out!” Juliet sounded aggressive.

Fiona felt slightly awkward.

Due to the rush, she did not make too many considerations before coming.

She did feel a little embarrassed when they were questioned like that.

She tossed Gianna a look, wanting her to endure it.

Fiona had always endured Joanna and the family’s rude attitude whenever she encountered them.

As Gianna was going to speak, Joanna chimed in, “Who would appreciate her thing!”

Gianna pursed her lips and said straightforwardly, “Is there anything granny wants me to do here? If not, I’ll have to leave and stop wasting our time.”

She held her mother’s arm and was ready to leave.

“You stand there!” Joanna bawled. “Did I agree to let you leave? What a rude brat, you’re indeed raised by an uneducated slut. You don’t even know the basic etiquette!”

She was clearly teasing Fiona’s family background.

Gianna indeed felt sad when she heard that. She had seen the rim of her mother’s eyes red when she returned from the Morris’s old mansion many times. It was just that to avoid making her father feel troubled and to maintain the peace of the family, she chose to endure everything.

Yet reality showed that not only her endurance did not bring any benefit, but it had also aggravated Joanna’s demeaning and mocking behavior towards her mother.

Gianna obviously pulled down her face.

Joanna continued her mocking remark, “Why, have you started to disrespect me after inheriting the Morris’s, my, property?”

“Granny, don’t you forget, your last name is Richardson,” Gianna said straightforwardly. “And the property of the Morris’s doesn’t belong to you!”

“How dare you!” Joanna widened her eyes and her mouth was left agape. Her face flushed. She never imagined that her granddaughter who had used to be weak had actually humiliated her right in her

face.

“Grandpa was the one who fixed the rules regarding the family property in his will, if there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with…why don’t you go ask grandpa yourself?” Gianna let out a grim smile.

“How dare you!” Abbott lost his temper at that moment too. “How could you curse your grandma?”

“Uncle Abbott, I just said that without any purpose, what are you so angry about?” Gianna said with an innocent look. “Could it be you have thought about it before?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Abbott’s face turned livid.

Gianna sneered. “The reason I come back is not to fight with you, and of course, not to get bullied by you too. The reason I come back is that granny says there’s something she wants to look for me, if granny only wants to scold me, please forgive me for not having the time to entertain you.”

Her apathetic words were impactful.

They really felt that she had changed all of a sudden.

She had become eloquent and powerful.

She faced Joanna and did not show any single fear.

Fiona who was standing next to her was so shocked that she could not utter a word.

She was already a little impressed by her daughter when she slapped Gemma on the face two days ago. She started to suspect whether that was her daughter or not when she saw her talking that aggressively to Joanna.

Yet she had to say that was the first time she felt so satisfied after being bullied by Joanna all these years.

She did not manage to say anything.

She decided to let her daughter act according to herself. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

She did not mind breaking up with the family members at the old mansion.

She had gone clearheaded.

It was useless no matter how kindly she acted towards them as they never treated them as their family.

“You, you, you…” Joanna was so mad that she could not speak a complete sentence. She bawled, “Get the hell out of here!”

Gianna’s eyes went a little somber and she said, “Granny, I feel the need to remind you, that by law, this mansion belongs to my father, which means the place you’re living now belongs to us. Do you think it’s appropriate to ask us to get lost?”

“Gianna, Morris!”

“Of course, I didn’t mean to ask granny to leave. I just want to advice granny not to be so arrogant when using other people’s property, because that would only bring hatred.” Gianna sounded disdainful.

She intended to deal a fatal blow to Joanna’s pride.

“How could you!” Joanna yelled while pointing straight at Gianna’s nose. She had not treated by someone like that before, and she clearly could not accept it at all.

“I was just telling the truth, if there’s anything that’s offended you, I hope you could forgive me who is just a child and don’t take it to heart. However, since granny’s already lived that long, you must have

thought everything through. I hope granny could be respectful as anyone would get mad if they’re offended.”

Her logical words made Joanna completely speechless.
