Chapter 55
Chapter 55
Lillian Ford walked into the house without changing her shoes. As soon as she entered the room, she
saw Grandmother Holland sitting on the sofa in the living room. The anger on her face disappeared in
an instant. She said obediently with a low voice, "Mom, you are here."
"Yes."
Grandmother Holland sat on the sofa and replied her, but her tone was rather unpleasant.
Lillian glanced at Coralie Chariott, who was standing at the door. Her eyes were full of hatred, but she
didn't dare to be as arrogant as before. "Coralie, why didn't you tell me that Grandmother Holland is
here?"
"You didn't ask me." Coralie was about to go inside. She took out a pair of slippers from the shoe
cabinet and gave them to her. "Please change your shoes."
Grandmother Holland was in the room, and the servants that she brought with her were there too.
When Coralie said this, the two servants lowered their heads at the same time and looked at the high
heels on Lillian's feet with a subtle expression.
After all, it was very impolite for a person to enter a house without changing their shoes.
"Oh, look how hurried I was. I forgot to change my shoes." Lillian found a way to explain herself and
went back to the entrance to change her shoes. When she had changed her shoes, she stared at
Coralie fiercely. "Why are you here?"
“...”
"My granddaughter-in-law is in my grandson's house. Is there any problem with that?"
Grandmother Holland couldn't see clearly, but her ears were very sensitive, so she could clearly hear
Lillian gritting her teeth and asking this question.
"Granddaughter-in-law!"
Lillian was thunderstruck when she heard these words.
"Granddaughter-in-law? How can she be Skylar's wife? What qualifies her to be the granddaughter-in-
law of the Holland Family?"
Although there were many grandchildren in the Holland family, there could only be one wife in each
house.
Lillian looked at Coralie, and she was absolutely furious.
A few days ago, Coralie was pointing at her and scolding her, but today, she had become her son's
wife? She couldn't comprehend this.
"What do you mean by not having the right? Her birth date is exactly the same as the prediction from
Skylar's grandfather's fortune teller!"
Grandmother Holland said.
Actually, she was not superstitious, but when she met Coralie and heard her speak, Grandmother
Holland knew that Coralie was a good girl and an authentic woman. She was different from Valerie Rae
and the others.
"Mother! How could it be so coincidental! It must be some trick!" How could Lillian accept this? She
pointed at Coralie and said, "Mother, you don't know how manipulative this woman can be. She
seduced Skylar in college. I thought she gave up after so many years, but I didn't expect... I didn't
expect..."
Lillian did not know when Coralie had married Skylar Holland.
Before she went abroad for a trip, Skylar was still single. All of a sudden, he had a wife when she came
back?
"What are you talking about? Manipulative? As an elder, how can you talk like this?"
Grandmother Holland couldn't tolerate her words, so she taught Lillian a lesson directly.
"Mom! You don't understand the situation. This woman colluded with her mother to blackmail me a few
days ago. She even scolded me! I almost had a heart attack. I just got discharged from the hospital!"
Lillian didn't dare to cause trouble in front of Grandmother Holland. After Skylar's grandfather had
passed away, Grandmother Holland had become the matriarch of the Holland family. Therefore, her
words were significant.
"Is this true?"
Grandmother Holland asked Coralie .
Coralie, who was silent for a long time, finally found an opportunity to speak. She quickly explained,
"No, Granny, my mother had hypoglycemia and she happened to faint in front of her car."
Coralie only said one sentence and didn't explain futher. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"No! Mom, do you know that her family is very poor? She is a woman from a humble family, so how can
she approach Skylar without a motive? Isn't she here for the money? Don't be deceived by her!"
"A humble family?" Grandmother Holland sat on the sofa and turned her head toward Lillian's. She
asked her, "You were also a woman from a humble family. How could you marry into the Holland
Family without my permission?"
This was Lillian's weakness.
This was the last thing she wanted to hear!
Lillian was an ordinary woman from the countryside. As her family was poor and she had many
siblings, she didn't go to college. She started working at an early age. She met Skylar's father
randomly, and got married to him.
When she was with Skylar's father, everyone opposed their relationship. Only Grandmother Holland
remained silent, which reduced a lot of obstacles for her to marry into the Holland family.
"But mom, times are different. People in our times were simple and innocent. Unlike nowadays, there is
so much temptation everywhere. Women nowadays get close to Skylar for his wealth."
Coralie's dress today was also very ordinary. She had placed her hair behind her head and she wore
only a long-sleeved plain dress. She looked ordinary.
"Simple and innocent?"
"Yes, things have changed. You haven't been out for many years. Don't you know that some college
girls nowadays act no differently from prostitutes? This kind of woman, who has only worked for a few
years and knows that money is difficult to earn, is more likely to plot a scheme."
Over the years, Lillian had tried her best to prevent Skylar's father from cheating on her.
"Stop it." Grandmother Holland didn't want to say too much to Lillian. "I personally chose Coralie as my
granddaughter-in-law. As long as I'm alive, no one can touch her."
These words touched Coralie's heart.
Although Coralie had married into the Holland family not long ago, she could feel that members of the
Holland family looked down on her at the last family banquet, as they knew that she did not come from
a privileged background.
In order to pay her mother and brother's medical bills, Coralie got married to Skylar. It was nothing to
be looked down upon compared to making $5 million in a short period of time.
However, Grandmother Holland was willing to believe her and protect her, which caused Coralie to feel
a little guilty toward Grandmother Holland.
......
Grandmother Holland and Lillian both decided to stay at home for dinner. There were no servants in
Skylar's house, as the part-time servants would not come to work on weekends. Therefore, the
responsibility of cooking fell naturally on Coralie.
"Granny, I'll go out to buy some vegetables. You and mom can have a rest at home."
After today, Lillian could see that Grandmother Holland really liked Coralie, so she did not dare to make
trouble.
Coralie changed her clothes and was ready to go out with some shopping bags and money. Lillian had
a sudden idea and stood up.
"Coralie, I'll drive you. I'll take you to buy some vegetables."
As she spoke, she walked toward the door.
"It's fine, I'll buy them in the community store."
Coralie didn't know what Lillian was planning. She wanted to refuse, but she was grabbed by Lillian.
"The vegetables in the community are full of pesticides. You should definitely go to the best
supermarket to buy organic vegetables and prepare the meal for granny,"
Lillian said as she opened the door and pulled Coralie out of the villa.
