Marriage With A Evil Heart

As soon as these words were spoken, Charlotte’s face turned pale, but Scarlette, undeterred, immediately asked with a curious expression, “Daughter-in-law? Mrs. Brown, when did Edward get married? Why didn’t you inform everyone?”

Hannah was truly skilled at acting, looking at Scarlette with a puzzled expression, full of questioning, she asked, “So? Did I misunderstand something?”

Everyone exchanged puzzled glances, and Hannah looked embarrassed, pointing at Amelia and asking Charlotte, “Is this not your… daughter-in-law?”

It was a grand scene of embarrassment.

Several wives familiar with Charlotte stared at Amelia, and Charlotte’s expression was extremely awkward, like a chameleon changing colors.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Seeing everyone staring at her, Charlotte waved her hands repeatedly, “No, no, misunderstanding. She’s just Robert’s personal assistant!”

This statement sparked even more gossip, and everyone gathered around, looking at Charlotte.

Anna, rubbing her own belly, smiled unscrupulously, “Mrs. Brown does seem to be biased. Bringing your son’s assistant instead of your daughter-in-law to a private gathering, is this intentional cultivation?”

People whispered and the meaning in their eyes was already evident.

“What! She’s already someone else’s full-time wife? What else is there to cultivate?” Someone said with a meaningful tone.

“I heard that all the men in the Brown family are good looking. Now they are in charge of Medikit Inc. If they’re looking for someone, it should be a prominent socialite, not an assistant…”

On the surface, everyone was speculating in a buzz, but in reality, they were subtly mocking.

I watched coldly without saying a word, wanting to let them talk a bit more.

But Charlotte was eager to clear things up and explained, “Where are your minds going? We are just old acquaintances. Her child goes to the same school as my grandson, and we often pick up the children together. That’s all!”

Probably fearing that Charlotte might say something inappropriate, Amelia quickly spoke, “You’ve really misunderstood. Old Mrs. Brown and I do have a good relationship. In fact, I used to be Daisy’s personal secretary. Later, when she fell ill and needed to recuperate, she asked me to assist Mr. Brown in managing Medikit Inc. I worked as Mr. Brown’s assistant for a while. So, I’m familiar with the Brown family, and naturally, we became close!”

After saying this, she looked at me as if seeking help, “Mrs. Brown knows this matter best!”

I had been silently observing with a smile on my face. Amelia wanting me helping her out was simply wishful thinking!

Before I could speak, Anna, in a timely manner, addressed me, “Mrs. Brown, you need to be more vigilant! Don’t repeat the mistakes my sister made. Just now, she said you hadn’t seen each other for many years, but it’s obvious that she has gotten closer to the Brown family besides you. Be careful!”

I really admired Anna; she dared to say it! She didn’t give Amelia any face, and I suspected she might know something.

Amelia couldn’t bear the pressure and looked at Anna, “Madam, I’m a newcomer. If there’s any inadvertence, please forgive me. But speaking like this isn’t appropriate!”

Anna sneered, “Following the rules, whether new or old!”

I smiled faintly, bypassing the main point, “Everyone is overthinking. This is how my mother-in-law and I get along. Maybe she just worries about my health. Today was indeed my oversight; I didn’t inform her about coming here.”

Charlotte quickly agreed with a cold face, “Knowing is good!”

In fact, she should have stopped there, but Charlotte was just too eager to perform. She took on the role of a drama queen and continued to speak to everyone…
