Although Danna was kind and amiable, she held the highest position in the family. Even when Logan was still alive, he spoiled her and treated her like an empress, obeying her every command. Once Danna became angry, no one dared to challenge her authority.
Hana, a naïve college student who was not afraid of anything, helped Felipe.“Grandma, what Felipe said is not wrong. Besides, Katrina hasn’t been pregnant. Maybe it’s because she deals with those chemical agents and viruses every day,”
Danna’s eyes darkened, and she angrily asked, “Was your uncle and your father picked up from the trash can during the first half of my life dealing with chemistry?”
Hana was instantly speechless, timidly closing her mouth and not daring to speak again. I never expected Danna to be so tough, which truly surprised me.
Annalise pretended to be gentle and considerate as she spoke, “Madam Barton, Felipe didn’t mean any harm. Please don’t get angry. Take care.”
Danna gave Annalise a cold glance, ignoring her, and sternly lectured, “You are all well–educated. Why are you so stupid? Luxury goods are just ordinary items, and the prices are all due to brand premiums. Spending a large amount of money can make you appear superior?”
Kayleigh and Tanya’s faces instantly darkened, looking very unpleasant, but they dared not argue. Danna looked at her two sons again.“And you earn so much money. Are you drinking those limited–edition wines to become immortal or to live longer? With so much spare money, why not invest it in your daughter–in–law’s pharmaceutical research institute? At least in the future, if anyone gets a rare disease, the medicine can save your
life.”
They were silent under pressure. However, Kaleb leaned back against the chair calmly, and a hint of satisfaction appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he felt that his grandmother’s blame was quite pleasant. Danna never mentioned Annalise, but she was secretly criticizing her shallowness in every sentence.
Annalise was very awkward. She had intended to use her means to outshine me, but unexpectedly, it caused Felipe and Tanya to be blamed by Danna. She was very embarrassed.
When the atmosphere was embarrassing, Dalia walked over and said, “Madam, the meal is ready. You can start eating now.”
“OK.” Danna nodded and took my hand to stand up.“Katrina, come with me to have lunch.”
I supported her and walked towards the dining hall. After sitting down, the others stood up with little enthusiasm and walked toward the dining table to take their seats. The atmosphere appeared cold.
