Chapter 298: Chapter 298

"Sister-in-law, did I say something wrong that upset you?"

Ryan noticed his cousin looking and felt sorry for her, frowning as he glanced at Summer Xavier.

They haven’t even gotten married yet, and she’s already showing attitude to Willa. If they truly got married, would Summer Xavier even tolerate Willa?

Mrs. Xavier noticed the reaction of the Abbott family and looked at the delicate and timid Willa Sherman in front of her, making her think of the pretentious mistresses Mr. Xavier keeps outside.

She suddenly felt disgusted, "Miss Shaw, please refrain from calling randomly, my daughter has nothing to do with the Abbott family."

Renee Sherman whispered, "But isn’t Summer already going to marry Ryan? Calling her sister-in-law is just a matter of time."

Mrs. Abbott nodded. "Yes, these two young people’s feelings are stable now; it’s just a matter of time to settle the matter..."

Seeing the faces of the Abbott family, Mrs. Xavier felt even colder inside.

So focused on taking advantage of her daughter, yet they still act pretentious in front of others; the Abbott family is truly here to disgust people.

Fortunately, her daughter discovered this early, otherwise everything would be too late once she really married in.

"Mrs. Abbott, my daughter isn’t even dating, so please don’t spread nonsense. I’ve heard that your son already has someone he likes, how can our Xavier family dare to climb up to your Abbott family?"

Mrs. Abbott’s face instantly stiffened.

Willa Sherman’s expression also changed slightly.

Meanwhile, the group of people listening was a bit surprised.

Listening to Mrs. Abbott, everyone thought the Xavier and Abbott family were about to marry mutually, a good thing was near.

But now, it seems the Xavier family is suggesting otherwise, and they don’t seem to like the Abbott family at all.

A crowd of people was ignited with a blaze of gossip, watching Mrs. Xavier and Mrs. Abbott confront each other.

Mrs. Abbott felt uneasy inside, suspecting the Xavier family knew something.

She tentatively said, "Mrs. Xavier, what are you saying? Didn’t we agree before? Summer is the only daughter-in-law I’ve approved, and Ryan said he is only set on Summer for life, except for her he wouldn’t marry..."

Mrs. Abbott created an image of her son as a devoted lover.

Mrs. Xavier chuckled, "Is that so, such a pity. My daughter has been busy with her career lately and has had no time for romance, and I haven’t heard her mention having any interactions with Young Master Abbott..."

Looking at Summer, Summer responded indifferently, "I’ve only met him a couple of times, and I don’t really have any impression of Young Master Abbott."

Mrs. Abbott’s face looked even worse.

What does the Xavier family mean by this?

Hosting this banquet today and inviting the Abbott family, isn’t it to announce the marriage between the families?

And now the Xavier family speaks such words in front of so many people, doesn’t it imply that her son and the Abbott family are one-sided, and the Xavier family never intended to marry the Abbott family?

This kind of humiliation is unbearable.

Mrs. Abbott’s face turned cold, "Mrs. Xavier, what do you mean? Are you treating our Abbott family as a joke?"

Mrs. Xavier looked surprised, "Isn’t it Mrs. Abbott treating our Xavier family as a joke? Clearly, you have a daughter-in-law and a grandson already, yet you joke about the lifelong matter between my daughter and your son. If this gets out, how can my daughter hold her head high?"

Someone nearby immediately asked curiously, "What daughter-in-law and grandson?"

"Don’t you know?", Mrs. Xavier smiled, though her gaze towards Mrs. Abbott was cold, "It seems Mrs. Abbott hasn’t shared this good news with everyone."

Seeing the explosive atmosphere between Xavier and Abbott, everyone was curious.

Mrs. Xavier pointed to Willa Sherman, saying: "Look, this girl’s belly is already so big. You two families are related, and your children together means adding to the family ties, this is a great joy for the Abbott family, why hasn’t Mrs. Abbott shared this good news?"

The Abbott family, along with Mrs. Abbott, appeared thunderstruck at the moment.

They never expected the Xavier family to know about this, let alone for them to tear their masks off in public and mention it now.

The surrounding people were gossiping, and soon the message became clear, staring at Ryan and Willa Sherman—especially at Willa’s belly.

A moment ago, everyone didn’t look closely, but now upon closer inspection, they found Willa’s figure very slender but with a slight belly...

Mrs. Abbott felt panic, "Mrs. Xavier, don’t joke about this..."

"How is it a joke? I was congratulating Mrs. Abbott; at such a young age she gets to have a grandchild, and the two families are close relatives again..."

Mrs. Abbott began to explain, but Willa Sherman and Ryan weren’t cooperative.

At this moment, Willa looked flustered, Ryan directly pulled her into his arms to comfort her, Willa still touched her belly with fear, their intimate appearance showing affection even a blind person could see.

The mother tried hard to deny, but her son instead backstabbed; Mrs. Abbott was so frustrated she nearly wanted to faint.

However, today Mrs. Xavier was determined to make the Abbott family suffer, so there was no chance she’d allow them to be cleared up.

Mrs. Xavier immediately asked someone to turn on the multimedia and play several videos.

The whole room was dead silent, and the gossip-filled eyes were fixed on the Abbott family.

Although Willa Sherman was adopted, officially she’s still Ryan’s cousin.

The two being together might be fine, but to still boldly plot against another innocent girl, calculating so maliciously—even counting in the girl’s future dowry—the Abbott family is shameless to the extreme, no wonder the Xavier family is so angry, tearing their faces openly.

In such a situation, who wouldn’t stomach such anger?

Among the strange stares and discussions of the crowd, the Abbott family’s faces alternated between pale and blue.

Mrs. Xavier continued her unforgiving assault on the Abbott family, "The Abbott family has two major joyous occasions, everyone here witnessing their celebration are all lucky, knocking on the doors of such a talented couple, they are truly a natural pair, being together surely saves many good girls and boys from other families..."

The meaning of those words couldn’t be clearer, these two being together is for the greater good, saving others from harm.

The Xavier family not only wants to ruin the Abbott family and Ryan but wants others to know the Xavier family isn’t easy to manipulate.

Mrs. Abbott held back dizziness and tried to explain to Mrs. Xavier, "Mrs. Xavier, there are some misunderstandings, maybe our families could sit down, let me explain..."

However, Mrs. Abbott’s attempts were again undermined by her son.

Ryan seemed unable to bear the insult, pulling Willa over, "Mom! Don’t speak anymore! Willa and I truly love each other, I don’t even like the Xavier daughter at all! Such a vicious woman! I can’t take it!"

Having known about him and Willa for a while, yet Summer never made a fuss, now publicly shaming them, tarnishing Willa’s and his reputation.

Such a nasty woman he dared not marry.

Since today had already torn things apart, it’s better to resolve it now, letting his mother fulfill him and Willa.

Anyway, he would only marry Willa in this life.

After finishing, Ryan left with Willa assertively.

Mrs. Xavier laughed, "Mrs. Abbott, your son truly has backbone, if only he’d had it sooner, today’s incident wouldn’t have happened, don’t you agree?"

"Mrs. Xavier, listen to me, it really is just a misunderstanding..."
