Free Web NovelChapter 979: Chapter 979: Losing Face
Susan Stone waved her finger, interrupting Willow Grant, saying, "Willow, girls should be more reserved and not easily claim themselves as someone else’s future daughter-in-law. That’s really demeaning."
Willow Grant’s face turned pale, her pupils trembled.
Susan Stone’s sudden change in attitude made her feel as though all the blood in her body had frozen.
If she lost Susan Stone as her backing, how could she marry Damian Knight?
An unprecedented fear gripped Willow Grant’s heart.
A bit frantic, she grabbed Susan Stone’s arm and said, "Mrs. Stone, did I do something wrong? If I accidentally displeased you in any way, I apologize, but please, please don’t be like this..."
"Like this?" Susan Stone flung Willow Grant’s hand away and said, "What am I supposed to do? I’m just stating the truth. You haven’t dated nor are you engaged with our Damian. You’re indeed not my future daughter-in-law!"
Willow Grant opened her eyes wide, almost unable to believe her ears.
"Mrs. Stone, what do you..."
"Susan Stone!" Before Willow Grant could finish, Mrs. Grant couldn’t bear it any longer and stepped forward, saying, "What do you mean by this? You let my Willow stay at your place because you recognized her as your future daughter-in-law, didn’t you? And you promised that you’d treat her well."
"I did promise." Susan Stone nodded and said, "Even when she did such malicious and disgraceful things at school, I didn’t blame her. Moreover, didn’t I refrain from holding you accountable when the two of you falsely accused my former friend’s daughter, Summer Monroe, of cheating on the exam? Why in the end, are you questioning me?"
"I..." Mrs. Grant trembled in her throat and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"There’s no particular meaning, just want to inform you that a girl like Willow Grant, I absolutely won’t allow her to marry my son. In the future, don’t assume the identity of my future daughter-in-law or in-laws anymore. Please show some self-respect."
Susan Stone said, ignoring the two of them, and stepped into the grand hall.
Seven o’clock, right?
It’s almost here.
Willow Grant looked at Susan Stone’s back, nearly on the edge of collapse.
She tightly grabbed Mrs. Grant’s arm and asked, "Mom, how could this happen, how could this happen?!"
Mrs. Grant was also shocked by Susan Stone’s drastic change.
Only when her arm was painfully squeezed by Willow did she suddenly come to her senses, forcibly maintaining composure to soothe Willow, saying, "Don’t worry too much, Susan Stone is just a biased monk right now. Her primary trait is chasing fame and fortune; she used very improper means to climb into Chairman Knight’s bed to become Mrs. Knight. She forcibly separated Chairman Knight from his childhood sweetheart to become Mrs. Knight. A woman like her is only adopting this attitude towards you because she sees Summer’s answers can bring her glory."
Willow Grant’s pupils trembled slightly, "Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, these filthy matters are known only to people of my generation. After she became Mrs. Knight, she suppressed all the news, and you can’t find a trace online. But back then, it caused quite a scandal in Crestfall. There’s no way I would forget."
Mrs. Grant said, pressing Willow Grant’s shoulder, solemnly advising, "So, the more it is like this, the less you can give up. Once you can make her see, you can bring her glory too, she will soon abandon Summer, that bastard. After all, you are the rightful young lady of the Grant Family."
