Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 98

Juliet was furious at the sight of them!

Jaxon had neglected someone as beautiful and kind–hearted as Mikayla aral instead chose to cheart

If it were her, even if a woman like Winona stripped naked, she wouldn’t react.

She didn’t know beforehand that these two would come. If she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have come. However, since she was here, she might as well make things difficult for those two!

“Brantley is back, too!” Queenie smiled and greeted him. Brantley rarely returised, and when he did, it was because Flugo called him back. So, nor matter how much she didn’t like Brantley, she couldn’t show it with Hugo around.

She had to maintain the image of a perfect stepmother in Hugo’s mind, treating Brantley as if he were her own son.

“Hello” Brandey responded indifferently.

When Brantley was younger, he couldn’t hide his feelings and openly showed his hatred for Queenie. Sometimes, he even lost his temper with her in front of Hugo. Queenie always played the role of the tolerant stepmother. Later, as he grew a bit older, he realized this was Queenie’s strategy She not only won Hugo’s heart but also made Hugo more disgusted with him. So now, he often chose silence and learned to endure because these matters were no longer worth making a fuss OVET.

He had more important things to focus ont

Juliet knew Brantley didn’t have good feelings toward his stepanother, but it was rare for children to get along well with their stepmother anyway There would always be a barrier between them.

“Brantley, come here Hugo’s usually stern face showed a rare hint of a smile as he saw Brantley enter.

However, be completely ignored Juliet.

Brantley leaned over and whispered to Juliet, ‘I didn’t expect them to be here today either. Do you want to stay for a bit, and I’ll take you away later!”

He knew that Juliet valued friendship, and she had complained to him more than once about Jaxon’s relationship with Mikayla. Also, the incident between Xavier and Huxley two days ago was known to everyone.

“It’s fine. You go ahead! Just let me know when you want to leave,” Juliet smiled. She was usually carefree and didn’t pay much attention to these matters. Besides, given her previous experience, she had anticipated this

Brantley nodded to Juliet, signaling her to take care. Then he walked over to Hago and Jaxon.

The three of them headed upstairs to the study.

Juliet sensibly sat on the couch, facing Winona, and politely greeted, “Mrs. Lindstrom.”

Queenie couldn’t ignore Juliet in front of so many people. Doing so would clearly show her dislike for Brantley.

“Make yourself comfortable, Juliet! I’ll go check on the food in the kitchen,” She stood up and headed to the kitchen, her polite words creating an apparent distance.

Winona sat nearby, watching everything from a distance, with a mocking smile.

Juliet really had a big heart. Despite the obvious dislike from the Lindstrom family, she seemed completely unfazed. She was always trailing behind. Mikayla. Her personality hadn’t changed at all.

Almost everyone an Xosa knew about Juliet’s relentless pursuit of Brantley. However, it was land to say how sincere Brantley was about his relationship with Juliet. Perhaps…

Winona seemed to have discovered something interesting.

After all, Brantley used to rarely visit the Lindstrom family’s mansion, sometimes not even once

Juliet rolled her eyes at Winona She really wanted to relieve Mikayla’s anger at this pretentious woman

She was wondering what to do. After all, causing a scene at the Lindstroni resklenice wouldn’t be good.

“Winona, how many months along are you with your pregnancy!” Juliet asked casually while rating freshi grapes from the fruit platter, trying to

make convenation with Winona

12:25 PM

Juliet and Mikayla’s friendship was enviable, so Winona didn’t believe that after snatching Mikayla’s fiance, Jason, Juliet would be kind enough to chat with her. But when asked about her pregnancy.

Winona showed a bit more patience. Four months!”

Juliet threw the grape skins into the trash can and glanced at Winona. “You really have the nerve to answer. While Jaxon and Mikayla were discussing their wedding, you were already planning to get pregnant,

A flicker of anger flashed in Winona’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Someone like Juliet was easy to deal with: Juliet wasn’t Mikayla, so the former was not worth getting angry over.

“Juliet, this is the Lindstrom residence! Show some respect, or whether you can smoothly marry in the future might still depend on my word.” The implication was that if she said something bad about Juliet, Hugo would definitely listen.

But the thick–skinned Juliet didn’t catch the hidden meaning in Winona’s words. “Women like you who steal other people’s fiancés deserve to be punished to stop such behavior in society.”

Just then, Queenie came out of the kitchen and heard Juliet’s words. Her face immediately darkened. She had never liked Juliet’s loud personality. If it weren’t for Hugo telling her that Juliet was related to the Klein family, she wouldn’t have wanted to deal with her at all. Queenie never expected her to say something like that!

However, when the air–headed juliet saw Queenie standing there, she cheerfully greeted Queenie

Winona noticed the change in Queenie’s expression and sweetly called out to her. What she did could not compare to what Queenie did. Queenie had taken someone else’s husband, after all.

Only someone as clueless as Juliet wouldn’t notice Queenie’s expression.

Queenie responded coldly and said it was time to eat.

Only then did Juliet realize that Queenie’s attitude toward her had worsened compared to before. She pouted but decided not to overthink it

The housekeeper was just about to summon the men for dinner when she ran into Hugo, followed by Brantley and Jaxon. The two in the back didn’t look too happy.

Brandey didn’t stay for dinner at the Lindstrom residence with Juliet. Hugo didn’t stop them, agreeing to let them leave

Watching the not–so–harmonious backs of Brantley and Juliet, Winona smirked

How would Mikayla react if she saw her good friend being toyed with?

Winona was really looking forward to finding out!

r dinner at the Lindstrom residence. Hugo went upstairs to work.

Queenie pulled Jaxon aside and asked, “Why did your father call Brantley back today!”

Hugo hadn’t mentioned a word of it to her beforehand.

Jason’s expression darkened. “Dad wants Brantley and I to get along and support each other in the future. He said we are brothers, after all…

Queenie’s eyes shifted, her heart sinking

“Mom, do you think Dad has other intentions?” This was what Jaxon had been worried about. Ever since Hugo had summoned Brantley to the mansion alone twice already Jaxon hadn’t been able to relax.

“He won’t! Just focus on your own matters. I’ll handle the rest, Queenie reassured him. “Keep an eye on Salvatore Group! Urge Winona when the time is right.”

Her own status wasn’t exactly honorable, and her son had been labeled an illegitimate child since he was a child. Why? Just because that woman was the legitimate wife!

She thought, “Once the wife is gone, the title of wife still became mine, no! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
