Rebirth: Married My Ex-Husband's Enemy

Chapter 11 Grandma Ayla Was Hopping Mad

In the hall of the Balstone family's old house.

Lucia paused for a moment and said, "By the way, I guess that Grandma called me back today because you wanted to talk about my marriage with Kelvin, didn't you?"

Ayla was stunned. She didn't expect Lucia to guess it.

Of course, Lucia didn't experience it in her previous life. After all, what happened last night didn't happen as well. There was no trending news like today. She could guess because she knew the conspiracy between her uncle Orlando and the Calshaw family. Orlando secretly wanted to take over her father's inheritance through the Calshaw family.

Now that Lucia had embarrassed the Calshaw family, Ayla would naturally come to teach her a lesson on behalf of the Calshaw family.

However, she didn't expect Lucia to be so hard to bully right now. In return, she had embarrassed herself!

"It's better to tell Grandma straightforwardly that I took a gem from Alonso last night, and it embarrassed Kelvin in front of everyone." As she spoke, Lucia took out the bright sapphire.

The dazzling light, the perfect cutting skill, and its history were unique. All women were crazy about it. Even Ayla couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.

But at that moment, her face was full of contempt for Lucia. "How dare you say it out loud? You're so shameless!"

"I have my reasons for accepting the gem. Firstly, the Balstone family involves a lot in business. As a businessman, I would not refuse any benefit that comes to me, and hence, I will definitely accept Alonso's gift. Furthermore, I know Grandma loves to collect gems. When I first saw this gem, I'm certain that she would like it. If not because of Alonso who caused the trouble, I would bid it for you. Well, since I don't manage to bid on it, I accepted the gem when Alonso decided to release it for me."

Ayla didn't fully understand.

Lucia said, "I was going to give this gem to Grandma."

Ayla's eyes moved slightly as she listened to it wrongly.

Obviously, she was a little tempted.

She had heard about this jewelry. But she could not afford to buy it. Now that it suddenly appeared in the front, how could she be completely indifferent?

"Didn't auntie Skylar ask my mother if she brought any gifts for Grandma? Yes, She did. Unfortunately..." Lucia's lips curled into a smile. "Grandma just said you don't care about anything that belongs to us."

Ayla was annoyed that her face had turned red.

The sentence she was about to say, "If you care about it," was swallowed.

Lucia didn't give her any chance to go back on her word.

She just looked at Lucia fiercely. Looking at the bright sapphire on Lucia's finger, her whole heart was itching.

"Stop showing off here! Is granny such an ordinary person?" Skylar quickly interrupted to boost her arrogance.

Ayla glared at Skylar.

"Unable to help anything but liable to spoil everything!"

Lucia looked at Ayla's face and knew she was probably full of regret. She would never have thought that Lucia would give her a gem.

But seeing that she brought the gem, she had to believe she wanted to give it to her.

At this moment, the more she thought about it, the more upset she felt.

Lucia quickly repeated Skylar's words. "Auntie Skylar is right. How could Grandma be so secular? Furthermore, she would never go back on her words."

"Of course!" Skylar replied in one go.

Ayla was full of frustration. She pulled a long face.

Orlando immediately understood the situation. He quickly stopped his wife and said, "Enough, don't talk too much."

Skylar glanced at Orlando, her face full of displeasure.

Ayla swallowed her breath and said, "I don't care why you accepted Alonso's gem last night. I don't have time to argue with you about these trivial things. I'm just warning you, don't mess up your marriage with the Calshaw family. Kelvin is such a good man. If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it!"

"Grandma, you don't have to worry about my marriage."

"Do you think I'm not tired of it? I'm afraid the Calshaw family will break off the marriage. With your conditions, do you think you are the best choice for the Calshaw family?" Ayla seized the opportunity and wanted to belittle Lucia the most.

Lucia thought about the compromise she had made in her past life. Her lack of confidence was probably due to Ayla.

"I don't know if he's going to marry me, but I'm not going to marry him! Grandma doesn't have to show much concern for my marriage. After all, I remembered you strongly opposed the marriage." Lucia said all the things that she couldn't do in the past.

Anyway, if they offended each other, she would not be the one to be embarrassed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ayla was irritated by Lucia again.

"At that time, don't you remember, Grandma wants my cousin to marry Kelvin? You used all kinds of means to threaten my Grandpa. Now that you suddenly care so much about my marriage, it makes me mistakenly think that you have ulterior motives!"

"Lucia, you unfilial daughter, you, you..." Ayla was breathless with anger. At that moment, she couldn't wait to slap this little b*tch to death.

"Don't say get lost. I've already reminded Grandma. Of course, I'm not that stupid to stay here. I'll say a few more words before I leave." Lucia didn't care about Ayla's anger at all. Her expression was completely calm.

She said, "Grandma, you'd better not meddle in the affairs of the Balstone family now. You're not young anymore. It's time for you to enjoy your old age. Let the children make their own decision."

"What's wrong? Are you mocking me for being too meddlesome?" Ayla snorted.

"I am not mocking you, but I am only advising you." Lucia really didn't give Ayla any way out.

Ayla was shaking in anger.

"Grandma, take care of yourself. We'll go back first." Lucia didn't care about Ayla's mood at all.

She really knew her grandmother too well.

If Lucia took a step back, her Grandma would be more aggressive.

But from now on, she wanted to suppress her arrogance thoroughly.

Lucia pulled her mother away.

When she left, she seemed to think of something.

She turned her head.

This time, she said to Orlando, "Uncle Orlando, today is not the weekend. Why didn't you go to the office?"

Orlando's expression suddenly changed.

"My cousins as well not go to the office?" Lucia raised her eyebrows.

"What are you trying to say!" Orlando stared fiercely at Lucia.

"It's nothing," Lucia said with a faint smile. "I just suddenly understood why Grandpa chose my father as his successor. If he had handed it over to you, he would have lost all his fortune long ago."

"Lucia, do you think you can do whatever you want? Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!"

As he spoke, Orlando stepped forward and was about to hit Lucia.
