Chapter 2 Grass Widow
His eyes were icy, his voice equally chilling, "The old man forces me to bring the betrothal gift, and I need to make it clear. Don't hold any illusion, all that I can provide is a nominal title: Young Lady of the Lloyd Family, and nothing more!"
Following his words, he turned away without the slightest hesitation!
Betsy's cheeks twitched slightly, and then the dissatisfaction in her turned into ridicule for Winter.
With disdainful and biting words, she assaulted Winter, "My dear sister, how about it? Can you tear your eyes away from your former fiancé? His back alone can drive people crazy! What a pity, he is mine now!"
That was sheer flaunt.
When the past event vividly crossed her mind, it sent a pang of bitterness through her.
He was so arrogant and full of himself.
That tall, beautiful, cold, and dashing back was probably her last impression of him.
But the world was unpredictable. In another reversal of fortune, she became Etan's wife eventually.
"Madam, shall we start off now?" Mr. Scott asked politely, interrupting Winter's wild thoughts.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Scott, can I say goodbye to my sister?" Betsy interrupted in a soft and sad voice.
Winter couldn't help but sneer. Her sister was so good at putting on shows that she could definitely win an Oscar.
With a poker face, Winter looked at the pretentious woman. With feigned sadness and shyness, she walked to her and called out with reluctance and sorrow, "Sis, you are leaving the Josh Family today, and I'm unwilling to part with you. I have something private to tell you..."
Her hypocritical face was filled with grief, and she choked with sobs as if tears were about to fall.
To an outsider, they looked like affectionate sisters. When her sister was about to marry, the little one was reluctant to part with her. What a touching scene!
She held Winter, lowered her head to Winter's ear, and whispered in a voice only audible to the two of them, "My dear sister, bad news, that dumb and disabled Mr. Lloyd is impotent now. Enjoy your life as a grass widow, I give you my blessing!"
Winter pushed the vile person away.
Slap!
A resounding smack stunned everyone there and then.
Winter looked coldly at Betsy who covered her cheek and snapped, "This smack is for someone who talks shit early in the morning!"
In her dying bed, her mother told her not to live like a coward, but people would walk all over her. Debts should be paid, and the smack was just the start.
Betsy trembled in anger. Originally, she planned to irritate Winter before her departure but was unexpectedly beaten.
Before Betsy lost her tempter, the butler of Lloyd Family spoke, "Madam, now it's the auspicious time, please get in the car!"
Dwight checked Betsy in case she stirred up more trouble. He could only play up to and not offend the Lloyd Family.
In the car, Winter saw Betsy's contorted face out of rage.
She sneered and looked on. To her, the Josh Family was a cage and the hell. Although the Lloyd Family was not much better, at least, she wouldn't need to face her vile family members.
The Lloyd Family!
It was a tiger's lair!
