Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 511: The Beautiful Grandmother is Really Amazing (Two Chapters in One)

She’s so pretty, and well maintained.

She’s in her thirties now, but seems younger.

Why is Iris Doone looking at her as if she’d seen a ghost?

Victoria Wheeler didn’t realize that her words could have caused such great pressure on Iris Doone.

What a kind soul she is.

She felt pity for Iris Doone who was frightened by the Old Madam, so she took over the conversation, trying to relieve the pressure off Iris Doone and stop her from being scared.

Everyone in the Zhekova family is reasonable and law-abiding.

They would never behave recklessly and certainly wouldn’t commit unlawful acts.

They even do charity work every year.

What would Iris Doone be afraid of in a family like this, a household filled with virtue?

Victoria Wheeler reminded Iris Doone very “kindly”: “Miss Doone, you sent quite a few photos to Zoe Silverstone, intending to expose Cindy Clarke’s relationship with Adrian Zhekova. We are aware of all this.”

The color drained from Iris Doone’s face.

“Did…did Zoe Silverstone tell you?” Asked Iris Doone, unwilling to admit anything. “Why would you believe her? It’s her who framed Cindy Clarke. She was caught by you guys and tried to drag me into it! She’s exactly like that, she would drag someone down with her even when she’s going down herself!”

“I am innocent, I don’t know why she involved me, wrongly accusing me of giving her those photos. I hardly have any interaction with her, I’ve never contacted her. I don’t even know her well. Aside from a previous competition, we haven’t had any interactions. How could I give her the photos?!

Victoria Wheeler smiled and retorted, “Don’t protest, it wasn’t Zoe Silverstone who gave them to us, we found out on our own.”

Iris Doone fell silent.

“The reason we haven’t done anything to you is not because we were unaware.” Victoria Wheeler smiled charmingly, “I wanted to tell you that Zoe Silverstone had the photos, but did you see her distribute them?”

“It’s not that she didn’t send them out, or didn’t want to. It’s just that once they’re out, no one can see them,” Victoria Wheeler laughed joyously, “Because if Adrian Zhekova doesn’t want people to see something, they will not see it.”

“Therefore, whether you recorded something, took a photo, or even live-streamed it, as long as we don’t want you to distribute it, you won’t be able to.”

“Of course, we will not harm you physically, we are all law-abiding citizens. But we can still prevent you from distributing it.” Victoria Wheeler said with a satisfied smile.

“Even if you try to spread the news, and contestants find out that Cindy Clarke isn’t the CEO’s girlfriend but the CEO’s wife, who would dare to offend Cindy Clarke? Wouldn’t they rush to befriend her instead?” said Victoria Wheeler the last.

Making an enemy of Cindy Clarke would be a loss in every way.

Of course, it would be better to make a friend like Cindy Clarke instead.

“Compared with the benefits of befriending Cindy Clarke, what’s the value of being a champion in a major competition? After all, there’s only one championship and others will still lose out,” Victoria Wheeler shrugged.

“In my opinion, you are really foolish, thinking that you are clever. Look at you now, too late to suck up to Cindy Clarke because you’ve already offended all of us.”

“Grandmother said it so well!” Morgan Zhekova, in Adrian Zhekova’s arms, vigorously applauded Victoria Wheeler.

Victoria Wheeler lifted her chin triumphantly and said, “It’s because you keep calling me that, making me feel old. Now I’m a grandmother at such a young age!”

Victoria Wheeler touched her face, looking a little melancholic.

The little boy immediately said, “Then I’ll call you ‘beautiful granny’! You’re awesome, beautiful granny!”

Indeed, just by adding the two words ‘beautiful’, it made it sound so much more pleasant.

Victoria Wheeler immediately looked pleased.

“Do you have anything else to say?” Cindy Clarke asked Iris Doone.

Without her realizing, Cindy Clarke’s aura started changing.

Earlier, she was thinking about how to scare Iris Doone off.

But she didn’t expect the Old Madam and Victoria Wheeler to have already dealt with Iris Doone.

All along, she had been the one to tackle the difficulties that came her way.

But this time, Cindy Clarke felt a powerful source of support.

It was so tender.

Children who are protected always have more confidence.

Cindy Clarke was finally experiencing that.

Iris Doone’s lips trembled. It was clear that it was impossible to threaten Cindy Clarke, or to use whatever dirt she had on Cindy Clarke.

She had not expected that Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke were not just simply dating.

They were already married and even had a child together.

What’s more, Cindy Clarke even had the support of the Zhekova family!

The entire Zhekova family came today.

No matter how big the event was, the Zhekova family could normally not be seen all together.

But today, ironically, she ran into them.

But Iris Doone couldn’t be happy about it at all.

Seeing that from top to bottom, everyone in the Zhekova family was supporting Cindy Clarke.

The Old Madam and Victoria Wheeler even came forward to back her up.

Even from the beginning to the end, Cindy Clarke didn’t have the opportunity to say anything.

The Old Madam and Victoria Wheeler had taken care of everything for Cindy Clarke.

If this was not acceptance, then what could be considered acceptance?

Iris Doone was puzzled, weren’t mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law usually antagonistic towards each other?

Aren’t the elderly in the family usually very stubborn?

Aren’t noble families like the Zhekova’s supposed to be rigid and value the family background and pedigree the most?

Why was it different in the Zhekova family?

The Old Madam seemed to be a tough and difficult person to deal with, but she treated Cindy Clarke so well.

Victoria Wheeler looked hard to get along with, with a rather fierce temper, and she’s the mother-in-law of Cindy Clarke.

Mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were supposed to eye each other critically, then why is she speaking up for Cindy Clarke?

The stereotypes in Iris Doone’s mind had all been shattered.

“I…” Iris Doone’s face burned with humiliation, but she had no choice but to swallow her pride and ask for mercy.

Earlier, she had been so jealous of Cindy Clarke and treated her as an enemy.

Now, the feeling of having to beg for mercy was driving her mad.

“Cindy, I’m sorry,” Iris Doone finally bowed her head, “Could you please forgive me?”

“I… I don’t know what came over me, why I became hostile towards you.” Iris Doone pleaded pitifully.

Just as she was reaching out to grasp Cindy’s arm, she was blocked by Adrian Zhekova who deftly moved Cindy behind him.

Cindy quickly assessed the situation and pulled Adrian behind her as well.

Iris Doone’s outstretched hands hung awkwardly in the air.

Iris Doone:

Adrian Zhekova seemed completely oblivious to Iris Doone’s presence.

He could even ignore his son in his arms.

He turned his head, looking at Cindy Clarke with pure joy, “Protecting you is my job, why did you pull me back?”

“I’m a grown man, she can’t hurt me.” But Cindy’s concern filled Adrian Zhekova with happiness.
