When Jane saw this scene, she frowned. Any sane person will feel uncomfortable after witnessing such a scene. They were not even in their own home.
The food is ready, let’s eat first.” Courtney suppressed her anger and said coldly.
The food piqued the interest of the old lady, along with the company, and together, they walked toward the restaurant
As per Courtney’s instruction, the waiter did not serve much food.
They served one plate per person, that was all. No other food was found on the table.
Each plate contains a small amount of food, though there were meat and some vegetables, and they look fairly good.
“Sister, you’re getting more and more stingy Ordering such a meal alone won’t be enough for us.”
I bet if this was in our countryside and there were guests, you would’ve ordered a big bowl of meat. Esme Philips said angrily.
All the while stuffing foods into her mouth
Her reaction was the same as the other people at the table, the only one who looked better was the young woman named Marina Kohler
“If you’re food is not enough, just order from the kitchen.
Courtney has learned her lesson from the mess she caused before, she’s now smart enough to serve each person with one plate to void the same mistake
Jane was stunned. She never thought that a person like Courtney would have such a family.
These kinds of people are the same kinds that she had fled from
After the dinner, Esme wiped her oily mouth, and then under her daughter–in–law’s signal, she looked
at her sister
“Courtney, is this woman really your daughter–in–law to Drake?”
At Esme’s words, Courtney looked at Jane, then looked at the three kids, and nodded.
“Yes, she’s not only Drake’s wife but also the mother of his three children. Something happened back then. After she gave birth, she took Drake’s other two children abroad. But now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, she and Drake are back together. Courtney explained, her anger rising again.
Esme covered her mouth in a staged shock, complete with her widening eyes.
“Then why wasn’t there a wedding? Or maybe there was a wedding, you just did not invite us, your poor relatives, to come.” Esme was pouting.
Courtney’s expression couldn’t hide the anger she felt, she’s composed enough to act on it, though.
*She and Drake are yet to have their wedding; it will be held in the near future.”
“In our hometown, if there is no wedding, then it’s not considered a marriage. Maybe Drake doesn’t like her that much, that’s why he hasn’t proposed marriage yet. I’m here with a very beautiful Marina
Kohler Look at her, see if she’s suitable to be your daughter–in–law.”
With that, she stood up and brought the young woman in front of Courtney.
“Eyes here sis, this is Marina. She’s the most beautiful girl in her town. She is well endowed and is very easy to get along with.” Esme would be a great saleslady.
Jane just watched the whole thing from the corner and did not say a word.
Courtney desperately wanted her to leave Drake before, but now she wanted to see what Courtney would do.
“That’s enough!” Courtney had enough of her sister’s chatters, she finally wasn’t able to hold back her
anger.
“Drake already has a wife, so you do not need to worry about him anymore.”
“Oh Courtney, you don’t understand. I’m not doing this for Drake’s sake. Look at my son Ludwig. She married Vivian and gave birth to two children. Both are twins. Don’t you want someone like this?”
Ludwig, the lady’s oldest son and the husband of Vivian, didn’t say a word the whole time. He was just busy eating. Esme was talking about two pairs of twins, one pair are both girls, and the other pair are both boys.
Vivian, who was Ludwig’s wife, was a smart mouth lady. Her mother was Marina’s sister, which makes Marina her aunt.
“But my mommy gave birth to three of my younger siblings in one breath. That’s triplets. She’s much better than me.”
Before Courtney could answer, Zach’s small voice answer them for her. Which angered Esme.
“You’re Zachary, right? Why would you talk to me like that?” Esme eyed the kid angrily.
She never did like the kid. The stinky brat did not have a good temper at all. Every time she came, the kid would tease her grandchildren, which annoys her.
“Who told you to find me a stepmother? Don’t even think about it. My daddy loves my mommy very much and you guys won’t stand a chance.”
With that, Zach stared at Marina angrily.
“Did you hear that, Courtney? The kid is disrespecting me, he’s..he’s.. Esme couldn’t form a coherent word to say. So, she looked to her sister for help.
Courtney, however, was in no business extending help, her sister kind of deserved it.
“Let’s get down to business. What’s the matter? Why did you suddenly come here this time?” Courtney asked coldly.
Courtney’s childhood was not good, her parents preferred her younger sister, Esme.
She later came to society when she was a young girl. She auditioned as the main cast of one of the famous director’s films and was selected because of her beauty. The movie became an instant hit.
She became one of the most famous stars in the entertainment industry. She shone like a diamond. Later, he met Drake’s father and withdrew from the entertainment industry.
At this time, the family members who had never cared about her came to her door. The reason was naturally to ask for money.

Mr. Wames Your Erwife in Pilliant

Courtney resented her family’s favoritism. They did not treat her as a family at all, they treated her as a money–making machine.
But there was still one person at home who was good to her, so she did her best to help this person, established a firm foothold in her hometown, and developed some careers.
The Phillips family was doing pretty well now.
Esme, on the other hand, was married into a poor family.
Later, when they learned that the Phillips family had made a fortune, they began to cry and found excuses to come back and exploit them.
They later found out about Courtney’s address. However, they were scared to go through Jane, whom they knew to be powerful and tough, so they often use Courtney to penetrate Warner’s residence.
But Esme’s greed knows no bounds, she became a hole that’s hard to fill.
They would find all kinds of excuses to ask for money from her. The money she had given them over the years had already been enough to build a new house in their hometown and buy a car. Life was pretty good, but they have no satisfaction.
