The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 217 Elodia Hudson

Elodia looked at Cressida and smiled mechanically before saying, "No."

When Cressida saw how timid she was, a dark glint flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but laugh. "Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. Elodia, I'm Cressida Langley. You can just call me Cressida." "Nice to meet you, Cressida," Elodia said softly.

Cressida held Kim's arm affectionately and said, "Aunt Kim, Elodia is quite obedient and sensible. It seems like you have taught her well."

Kim smiled and said dotingly, "All you know how to do is flatter others."

Kim's sister-in-law also smiled and said, "Kim, you don't know. This girl's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter by the day. She coaxes both of us and her grandpa every day and makes us happy without fail. Her grandpa dotes on her the most."

"Mom, Grandpa's favorite is obviously my brother," Cressida said.

At the side, Kim's elder brother named Shawn Langley was chatting with Gary.

Shawn said, "Sebastian started a company in Hamilson City.

"The Lockwood family has a branch company in Hamilson City, right? Can I request you to ask your cousin if he'll be able to help?"

Gary nodded and said, "It's good that you like to do business. I'll talk to my eldest cousin later.

"If he agrees, then the Lockwood family's branch company in Hamilson City will definitely be of great help to your family."

Shawn's face was instantly filled with smiles. He sighed and said, "I'm grateful for you all."

"It's no big deal. We're family."

Shawn patted Gary's shoulder and said, "Yes, you're right. We're family and we support each other!"

Shawn paused for a moment before continuing, "Your cousin is already 23 years old this year. She has been talking about Bernard for five years. "They're not young anymore. If your cousin can marry Bernard, the Lockwood family and the Langley family will become even closer."

Gary smiled and said, "Uncle Shawn, you have to talk to my mother about this. I don't know how to matchmake."

Kim, Kyla, and Cressida all laughed in response.

Cressida blushed shyly.

Kim's sister-in-law said, "Kim, since Shawn mentioned this, why don't you ask Patriarch Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood about this? "Cressida is a very eligible bachelorette."

Kim said, "Of course she is! Since Cressida likes Bernard, I'll ask them when I get back tonight."

Shawn's family of three was all smiles.

They chatted and laughed while Elodia walked at the back, looking like an outsider.

She could not help but look at Gary's back silently. From the beginning to the end, he did not even look at her, as if he had already forgotten her existence. They got in the car and headed to the Lockwood family's residence. Cressida thought of something and asked, "Aunt Kim, I heard that Drax is married?"

Kim responded, "He's more than just married. His two children are almost five years old."Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Cressida widened her eyes and covered her mouth with her hand. Her face was filled with surprise.

Kim said, "Cressida, when you reach the Lockwood family's residence, don't mention this matter and behave as you usually would. We're daughters of a proper family. If you can marry Bernard, you'll definitely be able to suppress Isabella in the future."

Cressida couldn't hide the smile on her face. "I understand, Aunt Kim. Don't worry."

Kim nodded in satisfaction.

Cressida couldn't help but recall what happened five years ago. That was the first time she had followed her family to the Lockwood family's residence for New Year celebrations.

At that time, she was only 18 years old. When she saw the extraordinarily handsome Draxton, she could not help but develop a crush on him.

However, that man was very cold. When he saw her fall into the pool, he did not even look at her.

Not only that, he even locked the door to the pool. If she didn't know how to swim, she would have drowned. Fortunately, she did know how to swim. She had deliberately fallen into the pool to seduce Draxton. At that time, she was young and impetuous. She was so angry that she knocked on Draxton's bedroom the same night to seduce him again. In the end, that man threw her directly into Patriarch Lockwood's zoo. Faced with the lion's mouth and Draxton's cold gaze, she realized at that moment that Draxton was not someone she could provoke.

It was Bernard who saved her from the beast.

From then on, she felt that Bernard was her Mr. Right.

Now that she heard that Draxton was not only married but also had children, she could not help but feel jealous of the woman who managed to get Draxton.

She wanted to see what was so good about that woman who had children out of wedlock!

"Aunt, Drax has such high standards. A woman who can marry Drax must have her merits, right?" she probed. Kim thought for a moment and said, "She's quite pretty and knows how to please people, but I think she managed to marry Draxton because of their children."

The corners of Cressida's lips curled up in disdain. It seemed that she was just a woman who relied on her looks. However, she was quite scheming to be able to give birth to Draxton's children. Traffic was smooth, so they soon arrived at the Lockwood family's residence.

The moment the car stopped, Cressida turned around and said to Elodia, who was sitting alone in the back seat, "Elodia, you can get out of the car first and open the door for us." Elodia paused, then she replied, "Okay."

She got out of the car and opened the door for Cressida and the others. Her face was exceptionally pale. For some reason, she felt a little carsick.

Cressida got out of the car and said to Kim with a smile, "Aunt, Elodia is nice."

"Yes, she's indeed quite sensible in this aspect," Kim said.

Elodia lowered her head and did not speak. Coincidentally, Gary and Shawn had also gotten out of the car. She could not help but look at Gary again, but Gary was only focused on talking to Shawn and did no notice her.

In front of the window on the third floor, Isabella crossed her arms and watched the scene downstairs.

She said, "Draxton, have you seen Elodia before?"

Draxton said, "This is the first time I've seen her."

Isabella was a little surprised. "She's been married to Gary for a few years already, right?"

Draxton said, "She hasn't been here before. I heard that she came from an ordinary background, so Kim didn't want her to come to the residence to celebrate the new year."
