Chapter 73 The Provocation
The previous days, Sue went on a trip abroad with several rich ladies. They spent some time together. As a result, they hadn't met each other for a few days. In this way, they avoided a lot of unnecessary troubles. Seeing Sue coming back, Rose knew that her cozy life would come to an end.
Sue took off her dark glasses and her make-up eyes sparkled. Although she was a middle-aged woman, due to good maintenance, her charm still couldn't be hidden.
"Mom, I'm back." Sue said to Burke's grandma with a smile.
"You're back. Have you eaten yet? Would you like to join us? " Burke's grandma narrowed her eyes.
"I've had breakfast at the airport. Enjoy your meal. I'm going upstairs." Sue said with a smile, glancing at Rose who was eating with her head down.
Burke's grandma nodded kindly without saying anything more. Sue slowly walked to the elevator. All of a sudden, she turned around and waved at the servant who was following her and let him come to her.
The servant dragged the luggage case and walked up to her at once. Squatting down, Sue opened one of the suitcases, rummaged through the luxury bags and took out two beautiful boxes. Then she stood up and went back to the dining room.
Seeing that Sue was back, Burke's grandma asked in confusion, "Why are you back again?"
With a broad smile, Sue went up to Burke's grandma, holding the gift box in her hand. "I've brought you a gift from abroad. I almost forgot it. Do you like it?" she asked She opened one of the boxes and saw a beautiful and glittering pearl necklace. Each Pearl was plump and plump, shining slightly in the sunlight.
"Wow, this pearl is so beautiful. Look at this color. I like gifts very much. " Burke's grandma always liked pearls, so she was very fond of this kind of jewelries. She put down her chopsticks, gently stroked the
necklace in the box, full of praise for it.
Rose raised her head and glanced at the Pearl Necklace in the box, poker faced. She had no interest in jewelry.
Burke's grandma happily took over the box and handed it to Rose. She smiled and said, "Rosy, look. Is it beautiful?"
To make her grandma happy, Rose forced a smile and said, "yes, it's beautiful."
With a disdainful look at Rose, Sue turned to Burke's grandma, "I have brought a gift for every family member. I bought a tie for Burke, it's perfect for him." As Sue spoke, she opened the second box and emphasized the words "every family member". Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
A pair of silver sparkling high-heeled shoes appeared in the second gift box. The perfect shape and exquisite workmanship made the whole shoes look very luxurious and elegant.
"Shoes look great too!" Burke's grandma praised.
Sue raised her eyebrows at her and said with a smile, "this pair of shoes are for Amanda. I like them very much and thought they fit her well." The underlying meaning behind her words was very clear. Amanda was the family member that Sue had acknowledged in her mind.
Upon hearing this, Rose froze and looked embarrassed. She didn't like luxurious jewelries, but obviously, these words were for her. Sue still didn't accept her as her daughter-in-law.
She had thought that Sue was going to give the shoes to Rose, but it turned out that she heard the name of Amanda. As a veteran businessman for years, Burke's grandma knew exactly why Sue said that. Maybe she didn't really like Amanda. She just wanted to give Rose a hard time.
The smile on Burke's grandma's face gradually disappeared, replaced by anger. She threw the pearl necklace box at the Sue and said, "take it. I don't want it."
The playful smile on her face vanished. "Mom, what's wrong? Didn't you like it just now? "
Burke's grandma got so angry that she took her crutch beside her and pounded on the floor heavily. She scolded, "no matter how much you dislike Rosy, you shouldn't have done this to her. What kind of person was Amanda? You know that. If you really want to do good for Burke, please be good to Rosy. She is the rightful wife of Burke! "
Seeing the old lady was in a rage, Sue didn't say anything more. She glared at Rose. Only herself knew that she would never accept Rose as her daughter-in-law.
"Grandma, don't be angry. She didn't mean to hurt me. I'm fine." Rose stepped forward and gently patted grandma on the back to make her calm down. Sooner or later, she and Burke were going to get divorced, and it didn't matter if Sue would accept her or not. Besides, given the fact that it was impossible for Sue to stir up any trouble. She would be fine even if she used words to poke her. Sun was not like Amanda, who made her lose her baby.
Seeing that Rose was so considerate, Burke's grandma felt more sorry for her. She took Rose's hand gently and said in a soft voice, "good girl, you are so sensible. I'm sorry to make you suffer."
Upon hearing that, Sue was engulfed by anger. She acted as if she had done something evil.
'Oh, Rose, you are really good at acting. How could you pretend to be a such good person? Grandma was stunned by your lies.'
Burke's grandma was too full to eat anything. She beckoned to the servants and went back to her room.
In the huge dining room, there were only two people, Rose and her mother-in-law.
After the meal, Rose turned around and was about to leave when she was stopped by Sue.
"Stop!"
"Mom, is there anything else you need to tell me?" Rose stopped and said lightly.
"Don't call me mom. I won't take you as my daughter-in-law."
"It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. Now that Burke has married me, I am his wife and you are my mother-in-law. If you don't want to accept me, you can ask Burke to divorce me and make my wish come true. " Rose replied calmly.
As soon as Rose mentioned that Burton was pressing her against, Sue was even more indignant. "Don't think that Burke won't divorce you. He is my son. He should listen to me.
"That would be better." Rose said coldly, and then turned away, leaving the exasperated Sue behind.
Rose's indifference irritated Sue. Her son, whom she had always been proud of, was ignored by such a woman. She swore to herself that no matter what kind of method she would use, she would definitely separate Burke and Rose, and never let this woman get any closer to Burke.
