Chapter 262: Some People Are Always Restless
Muff paused, annoyed. “What’s so great about that old Logan Farrell? He’s so ugly!”
Jared Farrell remained silent. Tina also said nothing.
Were these two old men enemies in their past lives? Are they destined to love and hate each other in this life?
Seeing Jared Farrell and Tina not responding, Muff waved his hand irritably. “Go on, go on! That old thing, I just found my granddaughter, and he’s already taking her away.”
Annabelle quickly called out, “Then I’ll prepare a gift!”
“No need, I’ll handle it myself,” Tina said coolly.
Annabelle was taken aback and sighed. She could clearly feel Tina’s cold attitude towards the Reed family. After all, she hadn’t been raised by them for over a decade and had suffered outside. Everyone could imagine the hardships she endured. And now, just after being recognized, there was the trouble caused by Liliosa, which undoubtedly added more resentment in Tina’s heart.
Annabelle felt helpless but knew she could only slowly make up for it in the future.
After breakfast, Tina and Jared Farrell set off for the Farrell family.
Logan’s old face was full of wrinkles from smiling. “Marie, get some good food and drinks ready. Our dear Tina is coming over.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Marie was also delighted upon hearing that Tina was coming. She got up quickly to instruct the servants to clean up and prepare things to welcome Tina. For a moment, the entire Farrell household was bustling with activity.
Hazel heard the commotion and sent a maid to find out what was happening. “An insignificant girl from the countryside, and the old man treats her like a treasure!” Hazel sneered.
Thinking of the information Liliosa had provided her and the billion-dollar Imperial Green, Hazel’s eyes lit up as she took out her phone to make a call before leaving her room.
Not far away, she saw Marie directing the servants in the living room. Hazel paused; she remembered that her sister-in-law had initially looked down on Jared Farrell’s engagement with the Reed family. Why was she so enthusiastic now?
Pondering this, Hazel walked over. “Marie, did you know our Farrell family has unearthed an Imperial Green worth over a billion dollars?”
Marie turned to see Hazel and replied without much thought, “I know; it was Tina who discovered it!”
Hazel was taken aback. Why did Marie sound so proud?
She moved closer to probe further. “Do you know that Jared paid three hundred million dollars for those stones?”
Her son Nathaniel didn’t have such an allowance for an entire year.
“I know. Three hundred million dollars is nothing; my son can earn that easily,” Marie said calmly.
Hazel’s face turned green. “Even if Jared earned it, it’s still part of our Farrell family’s wealth. If there’s any profit from spending that money, it should be considered ours too, right?”
Marie stared at Hazel for a moment before smiling. “Hazel, are you eyeing my daughter-in-law’s money? Let me be clear: that three hundred million dollars was spent by Jared for my daughter-in-law. He’s happy to do so. If she earns money and wants to keep it for herself, that’s her choice. You’d better not think about it.”
Hazel was displeased. “Marie, what are you saying? I’m telling you this for your own good! You care so much about your son and daughter-in-law, but do they care about you? Did they say they’d give you any of that Imperial Green?”
Marie’s face darkened immediately. “My daughter-in-law has given me plenty of things out of respect; you don’t need to worry about my family’s matters.”
Hazel sneered. “A girl from the countryside-what can she possibly give you?”
At that moment, noise came from outside as Jared Farrell arrived with Tina.
Marie left Hazel aside and hurried outside to greet them.
“Tina! Come in!” Marie said as she took Tina’s hand.
Tina hadn’t even had a chance to greet anyone before being pulled into the main hall by Marie.
Jared Farrell was pushed aside.
Jared Farrell thought to himself: Who is actually your biological son?
Logan beamed at Tina. “Finally! Tina, did anyone from the Reed family bully you after I left yesterday? If they did, you must tell me so I can deal with Muff.”
Tina looked at Logan’s concerned face and smiled slightly. “Thank you, Grandpa! No one can bully me.”
“Good! But if anyone does bully you, you must tell me,” Logan insisted.
Tina nodded with a smile. “Okay.”
She then looked at Asher standing not far from Logan. This was her second time meeting Jared Farrell’s father. Perhaps due to his long years in business, even when he didn’t speak a word, his eyes always carried a sharp edge.
Tina greeted politely, “Uncle.”
Asher nodded kindly. “Yes, how are you adjusting to Ashbury?”
“Quite well,” Tina replied calmly.
“I heard about what happened yesterday. If you’re tired of staying with the Reed family, come here; no one will dare bully you here,” Asher said simply but firmly.
Logan was satisfied; Jared Farrell was satisfied; even his wife was satisfied with Tina as their daughter-in-law. Naturally, he had no objections either.
But having accepted her as their daughter-in-law meant they wouldn’t tolerate anyone else bullying her.
He had been busy at work until late last night; if he had gone to the Reed family with them yesterday, Mack wouldn’t have just been broadcasting nonsense!
“Thank you very much, Uncle!” Tina smiled sincerely.
Hazel watched this scene unfold with displeasure and frowned deeply. “Your daughter-in-law is quite rude! It’s her first time visiting our home; shouldn’t she greet all the elders properly?”
She sipped her tea nonchalantly and continued, “The Farrell family is a prestigious household; such lack of manners won’t do! You need to teach her properly!”
Marie’s face darkened instantly. “Tina has excellent manners and doesn’t need teaching! Our family isn’t royalty; we don’t need so many rules! You should mind your own business!”
Earlier when Hazel mentioned Tina discovering an Imperial Green worth billions of dollars intentionally or unintentionally, Marie had already been very upset.
Now she dared criticize Tina’s manners?
Ridiculous!
Her daughter-in-law didn’t need any rules!
As long as Tina wanted to stay in the Farrell family comfortably-even if she walked around arrogantly-Marie would support her!
Hazel’s face turned livid with anger as she looked at Logan pleadingly. “Dad…”
Before she could finish speaking, Logan gave her a cold glance without any warmth in his voice. “What? Does my Tina need your guidance on manners? Have your good days come to an end that you’re trying Liliosa’s tactics? Go ahead and try-I dare say I’ll break your legs!”
