MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Part 85 Continue

Now that claire had fallen so low, she would naturally want to step all over her in return.

“That’s right, I swept the streets claire said in neither a shameful nor arrogant tone.

“Sigh, what’s even the point of you attending university? In the end, you still ended up swept the road. But, later… Hehe, you won’t have to anymore…”

Before  jenny finished her words Claire's first cousin logan, gave her a look.

Only then did jenny pause in the middle of her sentence. She then looked at claire with an expression as if she was watching a show unfold. “Hmph, what does it matter how good she was at studying? She’s still going to end up marrying a fool.”

She was curious to see how claire would look like when she got married to that fool.

In the evening, when the family was having their dinner claire finally saw kai. When she saw claire a layer of tears welled up in her eyes, and she hugged claire for a long while.

“Child, you must have suffered quite a bit. It’s all because of my old and weak body. I couldn’t help you at all back then,” Susie said in the midst of choking up while trying to speak.

Before claire could answer, Stella said, “Grandma claire being in jail is what we call getting punished by law. She deserved it!”

Susie glared at jenny. Only then did she resentfully shut her mouth.

Claire shook her head and looked at kai “It’s all right, I didn’t suffer much. Besides, haven’t I already been released? I’ll come back more often in the future and be filial to you and

Grandfather.”

Hearing this kai felt even sadder.

Mr. Kelleigh and the rest were afraid that Susie would expose them, so they quickly had them sit down to start eating dinner together. During the meal, the eldest uncle, second uncle, and third aunt kept urging claire to have more wine.

“It’s a rare occasion, so it’s not a bad thing to drink a bit more. Claire you need to make sure to come back more often and see your grandma and grandpa in the future,” the third aunt said with a smile.

Claire maintained the smile and said, “Third Aunt, I quit drinking already. You know that I had a car accident because I

was drunk. How could I dare to drink again?”

Upon hearing claire words, the third aunt stopped and could only laugh dryly.

Her uncle said, “Nevertheless, it is Thanksgiving. Just drink a few glasses. You are not driving now anyways.”

“That’s right. If you don’t drink, you are not giving us elders any respect!” Her second uncle followed suit.

“Enough!” Grandma suddenly shouted, “Your consciences have been eaten by dogs. Are you really going to push claire into the pit of fire?”

All of a sudden, no one at the table spoke, but claire looked at her grandmother in surprise.

Kai said to claire your uncle and others are up to no good. They want to marry you to the Miller family’s fool son in exchange for 300,000 dollars. They…”

Mr. Kelleigh interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

“So what if claire marries into the Miller family? Are we mistreating her? The Miller family accepted her, even though she had been in jail. Do you think she can marry into a good family now?”

“That’s right. 300,000 dollars from the Miller family is just enough to buy houses for First Cousin and Second Cousin. Claire, you owe them this. If you hadn’t been in prison in the first place, they would have already found a good partner jenny added fuel to the fire.

“I won’t marry anyone!” claire stood up and coldly looked at the relatives around her. “Even if I were to owe anyone, it would not be you!”

She said to kai, “Grandma, I’ll come to see you next time.” After that, she intended to leave, but she was stopped by her uncles.

“Why do you want to leave? It’s not up to you to decide who you marry!” her uncle said ruthlessly.

Claire looked at her cousins, who were not far away. She remembered that they had played together when they were children and they had had a good relationship with each other.

“You also want me to marry a fool?”

Elder Cousin logan said, “Yes, it’s fortunate enough that the Miller family is willing to marry you now. Otherwise, do you think you can find a good family to marry into?”

On the other hand, her second cousin dev shrank a little and said awkwardly, “I… I am getting married. At least I need to have a house. I… I don’t have any other choice.”

Claire laughed at herself. In fact, she shouldn’t have expected anything from her cousins; she just made herself disappointed again. “I won’t get married!”

She took a deep breath and shouted at everyone.

“Slap!” The next moment, Mr. Kelleigh slapped her in the face. “How dare you not listen to us? There’s no room for you to haggle over this matter!”

In the VIP ward of the hospital, there was a round table full of exquisite dishes, but only two people were eating them.

Isaac ate in a slow and orderly manner. Old Mr. Landford who was sitting opposite him, was eating food with the help of a nurse.

In the ward, it was almost silent except for the sound of chewing. Neither the grandfather nor the grandson had said. anything to each other.

Although the nurse who picked up the food for the Old Master was curious, she didn’t dare to ask. After all, these two were the most powerful people in Emerald City.

Finally, after Old Mr. Landford was almost full, he said, “I heard that you haven’t stayed in the house for the past few days?”

“Yes,” isaac replied indifferently. He was not surprised that

Old Master knew about this. After all, Old Master had his informants everywhere, even in his house.

“Where are you staying?”

“Outside isaac replied.

“Why do you want to stay outside?” Old Mr. Landford asked.

“It’s too quiet in the house.” He pretended to be casual as he picked up a shrimp and slowly peeled off the shell.

“Speaking of which, you should have a girlfriend at your age. I

will ask my secretary to sort out information about the famous young ladies in the city. You can pick one.” Old Mr. Lamdford tone sounded as if it was as simple as picking out clothes.

Isaac fingers, which were holding on to the shrimp, paused slightly. Then he replied, “There’s no need.”
