Chapter 35 Not Easy To Deal With
“Aunt Martha, you shouldn’t put it that way. They’re just concerned about Harrison as his older cousins”
At the moment, Owen, who was seated at the front, spoke in a leisurely manner.
“Besides, Harrison is now the head of the Spencer family, bearing the responsibility for the rise and fall of our family on his shoulders. How can his marriage be treated lightly?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep, cold male voice cut through the air, carrying undeniable authority. “My affairs are none of your concern, Uncle Owen.”
The moment these words fell, everyone in the room honed toward the source of the mice.
Harrison walked in with Serena held close to his side. The two entered the Inding room with a steady and composed pace.
Serena leaned against him. Though she had felt a bit nervous at first, she showed no hesitation at the moment. However, when her gaze inadvertently swept across the Ragdoll cat in Evelyn’s arms, a deep–rooted fear stirred in her heart.
She instinctively tightened her grip on the handbag in her hands, her fingertips turning slightly pale
Harrison immediately noticed something was wrong. He gently patted her waist in silent reassurance.
Serena took a deep breath, doing her best to maintain a calm exterior. She lifted a perfectly measured smile and greeted everyone in the room.
The moment Martha saw Serena, all traces of displeasure vanished from her face, replaced by warmth and delight. She beamed and waved to her lovingly, her voice overflowing with affection. “Serena, come here. Sit with me.”
Harrison led Serena toward Martha as if no one re were present. They made their way to the seat of honor, where be sat down
Serena greeted polnely, “Grandma.”
“Ah, such a good girl” Martha responded happily, her fondness for Serena obvious.
The eyes of everyone in the room turned to Serena, examining her closely
The cheerful atmosphere was soon disrupted when Owen suddenly asked, “Harrison, is this the wife you just married?”
Harrison firmly held Serena’s hand and, under everyone’s watchful eyes, made a solemn declaration, “Serena is my lawful wife and the rightful lady of the Spencer family” As soon as these words tell, glances were exchanged throughout the room.
Owen, however, temamed as arrogant as ever. His words were laced with ridicule. “Where did this wild girl come from? With such an insignificant background, she dares to dream of becoming the lady of the Spencer family?
and
“Owen, that’s enough!” Martha could no longer suppress the anger brewing inside her and rebuked him harshly. “Serena is my acknowledged granddaughter–in–law an Harry’s rightful wife. Hanyone dares to say another word, I’ll have them thrown out immediately,”
Owen was not someone who backed down easily He showed no dear of Martha’s warning
Aunt Martha, our Spencer family is a prestigious household with acentury–old legacy. Since Harrison is now the head of the family, his wife must be someone worthy of our
Evelyn, stroking the cat in her arms, , echoed her father’s words, “That’s right, Grandma. My father is absolutely correct. Marriage partners must be well–matched in terms of family background”
“Harrison, I’m not trying to criticize you, but even if things didn’t work out with Ms. Quinn, you shouldn’t lower your standards by bringing an unsuitable woman into the family,
Lucas deliberately mentioned la Quinn, clearly trying to create a rift between the couple
Hearing this, Serena glanced at Harrison out of the corner of her eye, atalet bitterness rising in her heart.
So, their was someone beloved. No wonder he had been reluctant to marry her at first In that case, why did he agree to it in the end?
Was the one–year agreement simply to appease Martha, or was there another reason!
Martha was about to speak up in anger, but Serena gently placed her hand over Martha’s, giving her a reassuring look.
“It’s true the Linden family isn’t a prestigious household. We’re nothing compared to the Spencer family. However, unlike Harry’s uncle, Harry didn’t have to rely on his wife’s family to barely secure lais position as the head of the Spencer family”
Her words, veiled in sarcason, made Owen’s expersion turn visibly gilm.
“Aller Harry’s grandfather passed away, you led the Spencer family for three years. Yet during those years, you falled to bring any irreplaceable value to the family or Spencer Corporation This proves that your abilities are quite limited,”
