Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

Chapter 149 Hand It Over, and I Shall Spare Your Life

Benson was so angry that he was shaking all over. He glared at August's retreating figure and gnashed

his teeth.

"Outrageous! This is too much!"

"Benson, do calm down."

Pauline patted his back comfortingly.

Benson's breathing was laboured as he said angrily, "Gwenda definitely has someone in the Reed

family supporting her; otherwise, she would not have had the guts to fall out with me!"

"Alright, do calm down. Don't speak so loudly. It wouldn't look good if someone saw us later."

Pauline lowered her voice and tried to convince him. "Gwenda is just confused. I'm sure that she'll

figure things out in a few days."

"Does she look as if she'll figure things out?"

"Well, there's nothing you can do about it, is there? You can't possibly make a scene in front of the

madam?"

Upon hearing this, Benson's face became sullen, and he cursed, "What bad luck."

...

At this moment, in the remote corner of the hall, August studied Gwenda and asked, "You alright?"

"What could happen to me?"

Gwenda grinned. "I bet that he wouldn't have hit me in front of so many people, otherwise grandma

wouldn't have let him off!"

Snorting, August said, "Honestly, you just know how to act tough. You haven't got the brains. Do you

even know how people are talking about you out there?"

He rolled his eyes at her grumpily.

Gwenda shrugged. "They can say whatever they like. Even if I wasn't acting tough, they would still talk

about me. Instead of having to deal with that, it's better to just be hostile instead of pretending."

"Sure, you're the most reasonable one here."

August leaned lazily against the wall, glancing at her as she said, "I'm warning you. When we're seated

later, grandmother will be there. Bear it if you can, don't ruin it for her."

"I know. Man, you're long-winded."

"Huh? You brat, you dare to find me a nuisance?"

August lightly smacked her on the head.

Clutching her forehead, Gwenda glared at him and hissed. "It hurts!"

"That's good. You might even be able to get some water if you give your brain a good shake."

"How dare you scold me! You're the one whose brain is submerged in water..."

Both cousins fooled around.

Soon, the feast began.

Suzanne sat down, and Gwenda was also led over to sit next to her.

...

When the other guests took their seats and saw this, they could not help but look surprised.

"I don't know how Gwenda managed to please Suzanne so much that she would allow her to sit next to

her. It's quite rare."

"Gwenda's overbearing attitude is likely Suzanne's doing. How could she be so impudent if there's no

one backing her?"

"You're right, Suzanne really seems to be complicit in this."

The guests gossiped about it.

Fortunately, Suzanne did not hear those words, and so the feast began like that.

...

At the dining table, Suzanne kept looking after Gwenda, which attracted a lot of attention.

...

Someone even spoke up directly with a smile. "Madam, you are really good to Gwenda. It's almost as if

you're treating her as a child!"

"She's my only granddaughter. If I don't treat her well, who should I do so to?"

Suzanne said with a smile as she held Gwenda's hand while the latter glanced at her and smiled.

...

"However, there should be a line in terms of loving someone, yes? It's not good to overdo it, otherwise

it might end up becoming coddling."

Hearing this, Suzanne's face became cold immediately. She gazed at the food on the table and asked

flatly, "Are tonight's dishes not to your taste?"

"Uh, no?"

Macie replied, "Mother, do you think that it's not delicious?"

"No, but it seems that some people find it unpalatable. How else would they be able to talk about other

people's businesses if they found the food delicious?"

The moment Suzanne said that, the commenter turned red in the face and looked down.

Seeing this, Gwenda patted Suzanne's back and said with a smile, "Grandma, it's your big day today.

Let's not talk about anything else. I'd like to propose a toast to you. I wish you all the best for the rest of

your life."

"Oh, you clever thing, such sweet words from you!"

Suzanne chuckled and took a sip of red wine.

With Gwenda's interruption, the atmosphere at the dining table was much better. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

No one else dared to make trouble for Gwenda in front of Suzanne either.

And so the feast ended after an hour or so.

Gwenda used the excuse of having drunk too much to slip out of the hall, and she went out to stay in a

secluded corner of the garden.

She had not sat down for long when she heard the sounds of quarrelling between children...

"I want what you have right now. Hand it over, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, I will beat you up!"
