The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet by Thalassa -
Chapter 59
Chapter 59
That smile was dripping with sarcasm.
Evelyn, who usually had a mouth on her, was now feeling like crawling into a hole after hearing the village folk’s put-downs. She had no choice but to stick close to Thalassa, her head hanging low.
Isabella’s life was better than Thalassa’s, with money, power, and a big house, and every time she came back, she drove a fancy car and wore designer clothes.
And there they were, dressed modestly, having to hoof it back home.
She felt too inferior to look up.
Her own daughter, unable to match up to others.
Thalassa was already in a bad mood after nearly being hit by Isabella’s car.
Now, hearing the village elders’ comments, her face darkened even more. She had planned to ignore them. She didn’t like to compete with others. She knew how good or bad her life was; everyone’s needs were different, so there was no need to compare.
Thalassa, with her luggage on her back, walked across the village square.
Suddenly, Isabella’s derogatory words rang out: Thalassa, are you tired carrying that luggage on your back? Your shoulders must be chafed, right? We both live in the city. If you had told me beforehand, I could have given you a lift. It’s okay if you don’t have a car, you’ve got me, your dear cousin.”
The lady who had previously praised Isabella chimed in. “Thalassa, you should learn from your cousin. Look at her, not only does she have a wealthy boyfriend, but her career is also very successful, making her the richest person in the village. She’s a good person, not looking down on you, this poor relative of hers, and willing to give you a lift. Don’t be so stubborn, if you don’t have anything, then you have to ask others for help. Riding in your cousin’s car isn’t shameful.”
Thalassa suddenly stopped in her tracks, lifted her chin, and said to the lady, “How is it that I have nothing? Are these four children not mine?”
She took a deep look at Isabella, gave a small smirk, and said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover, how do you know she’s so kind-hearted?”
Wasn’t it Isabella who schemed against her and slept with her boyfriend?
At the Sinclair group, Isabella had deliberately slandered her, claiming she was a criminal with a record.
Such a woman was actually praised as kind hearted?
Isabella sure knew how to put on a show, seeming all sweet and kind but actually cunning as a fox.
That woman was always a fair-weather friend.
Seeing Thalassa proudly mention her four children, she dismissed it with a sneer.
Her disdain was all too clear
Rural women valued their reputation above all else.
Thalassa was not only pregnant before marriage but also had four children!
And to this day, she didn’t even know who the father of the children was. If it were anyone else, they would have been too ashamed to come home.
And yet, she was still so proud. Shameless.
“You’re really poor and proud; misunderstanding my goodwill, you deserve to be poor all your life.” The woman took Isabella’s side; Thalassa had actually said Isabella was not what she seemed. questioning her goodwill.
The woman’s words became more and more blunt and rude, trying to curry favor with Isabella and suck up.
to her.
At first, Evelyn felt ashamed of their poverty, but now Isabella and the woman’s words were unbearable.
Her temper flared up. She lifted her head and said loudly to the woman, “What does our poverty have to do with you? We didn’t ask you for food.”
“Well, no.”
“Well, then, shut up and stop
op saying meaningless things! As an elder, you should behave properly. Otherwise, when you die, no one might be willing to put up a tombstone for you. Evelyn said it angrily.
When it came to arguing, no one could beat Evelyn.
Evelyn usually képt to herself, but once she was riled up, her words were unmatched in the village.
