Nigel curled his lip at Doris. " Good morning, Doris. You're looking rather rabid today. I'm surprised you are not on house arrest for trying to have DuBuis killed. "
Doris sniffed. " And you are looking your usual fairy self. Except for that face of yours. Dear me. Perhaps you should avail yourself of my real son in law Jeremy's plastic surgery skills. He can work miracles so maybe he can help you. " She smiled coolly. " And those pesky little charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. If you continue to defame my character I will be forced to sue you for defamation of character and libel. Not sure what I would get , you penniless gold digger. "
Nigel flushed red in the face.
Richard stepped in front of his fiance and said," Mother, is there a reason for this visit? Because we are about to leave for home. And I do not want you speaking disrespectfully to this man again. "
Doris laughed. " Man ? I don't see any men in this room. I see a golddigger fairy and a pure fool. If you go through with this gay nonsense and this wedding I want you to know that I no longer consider you to be my son and that I am effectively cutting you out of my will. Everything will go to Lorraine, my only good child. "
