The Innocent Wife of Scheming President

Chapter 516: Criticizing

If Mrs. Hoyle wanted the child, sure. Olive had always been soft-hearted and Chloe couldn’t do anything to change her mind, but she could prevent the old witch from taking it on granted. A person like her in the world who could easily take others’ treasure didn’t know how to cherish it.

Maybe she thought Olive wanted to flatter her.

Mrs. Hoyle knew she was bad with words, but she didn’t want to lose her manner. “Can’t I change my mind?”

Chloe never dropped her sneer, “Sure. But Mrs. Hoyle, aren’t you eating your own words after saying it with much confidence? You don’t want when you don’t want. You want when you want. Do you think Olive is your ragdoll?”

“If she is that easily, would I be standing here and talking to you?” Instead, Mrs. Hoyle felt that she was the marionette that was invisibly manipulated. That woman worked together with her son to design a no way out for her.

From the moment she knocked on the Steele’s door, she suddenly felt that she was planted and had fallen into the game they had set in advance.

Chloe joked, “Oh? Mrs. Hoyle, it’s really rare to hear you praise one of our Steele’s members.”

I…” Mrs. Hoyle took a breath as she couldn’t explode no matter what.

Thinking back what she said just now, there was indeed an exaggeration on her side. Was she confused or too mad? Darn it.

“Mrs. Hoyle,” Mrs. Steele started. “Since we’ve started to talk about the child, let’s not go too far.”

Mrs. Hoyle glared at Chloe intensely, then returned her gaze back to Mrs. Steele. “I don’t like to drag on either. I’ll get to the point. I want the child this time.”

Her strong demeanor didn’t weaken Mrs. Steele. “Mrs. Hoyle, you can have the child. We’re not unreasonable people, but my family also has one condition.”

“What is it?”

“Your family must give my Olive a formal public ceremony.”

Although Olive didn’t mind these things and dealt this grudges generously, as a mother, she had to win the necessary respect for her daughter.

“A ceremony? My son is already holding a wedding in your Luo City with a great fanfare. Is this ceremony not grand enough?” Mrs. Hoyle was obviously dissatisfied with Mrs. Steele’s request.

Mrs. Steele shook her head, “Mrs. Hoyle, as you said, the wedding is prepared by Alan and it has nothing to do with the Hoyle Family. The wedding is Alan’s compensation for Olive, and it’s not Mrs. Hoyle’s sincerity.”

Chloe almost applauded. Indeed her mother was the calmest and caught the point. With the current depth of affection between Olive and Alan, although certain things had become irrelevant, the old witch still had to watch her attitude.

“Don’t go too far,” Mrs. Hoyle became upset and warned. In her opinion, the Steele was too ignorant and too greedy.

“Mrs. Hoyle, you’re a mother and so am I. I also think for my child. You have a daughter too. When Ada will get married and her mother-in-law despises us. Will you just sit still?” Mrs. Steele tried to compare and paused, then she smiled a little. “Of course, with the Hoyle’s background, I think few families dare

to ignore your daughter. Perhaps, in Mrs. Hoyle’s eyes, Olive is a woman who is not worthy of the Hoyle. But, in my heart, she’s the Steele Family’s princess. You can have the child, but the Hoyle must treat Olive with courtesy of a daughter-in-law’s. Otherwise, there’s nothing to discuss about the child.”

“Courtesy?” Mrs. Hoyle snickered. “Aren’t you just trying to take the chance to cheat?”

Since the incident with the Meyer, human nature had become a matter of suspicion in the old lady’s eyes.

“What?” Chloe seemed to have heard the funniest thing and retorted, “I’ll be damned. Don’t think that you’re rich and everyone is thinking of your stupid wealth. Sorry, we don’t care about that.”

Mrs. Steele had always been gentle and was easy to talk to. But at this moment, she also hardened herself. “Mrs. Hoyle, I don’t have many conditions, just this one. I don’t care what you think, but this condition can’t be changed. If you agree, you’re welcomed to stay for dinner. If you don’t, I’m sorry, you can leave.”

Chloe was waiting for these words. As soon as Mrs. Steele’s voice fell, she made a gesture of pointing and said without a smile, “Mrs. Hoyle, you’re not a person who likes to pester, or else, you’ll shame your identity. The door is right there. Would you like to me see you out?”

Mrs. Hoyle was embarrassed. She obviously didn’t expect to be kicked out. “If the child stays at the Steele, don’t expect to get anything from the Hoyle.”

Mrs. Steele deadpanned, “The Steele’s children aren’t lacking. They can live by themselves with no problem. We’ve never thought of taking the Hoyle’s wealth.”

“Old witch, you’re not deaf, are you? You can leave now.” Chloe was already considered polite as she didn’t tell her to get out. She glared at the old lady in utter despised. She was even thick-faced enough

saying that she wanted the child. The Steele didn’t owe her, so what right was there to give it to her because she wanted it. They could talk after she learned respect.

Mrs. Hoyle obviously didn’t expect that she would be kicked out again at her second visit. In her opinion, for her to personally come here and want the child was already a message enough that she had accepted Olive Steele. She didn’t know that the Steele would treat her like this.

Fuming up as she rushed to the elevator, she couldn’t cover the wraith on her face. She took out her phone and wanted to call Olive, but she unexpectedly stepped on dog’s shit as soon as she left the building. It was so disgusting.

At the time, Olive was in a meeting and Susan, who had returned from the US, officially led the hotel’s senior management. Her phone was left in the office. So she didn’t know it was ringing.

But for Mrs. Hoyle, she avoided it on purpose. She asked the driver to head straight to the Angel Hotel.

The old lady found that she couldn’t bear it anymore. Her temper went to the sky roof. Especially when it came to Olive Steele. She could no longer deal with her calmly and easily.

What made her become like this? She had been deep in thought about this issue along the way.

When she arrived at the hotel, the meeting was already over. With Olive and Susan by Norton’s sides, he beamed with joy and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.

They walked out the hotel’s entrance together, talking and laughing, looking so harmonious.

Susan knew, although she was the vice director who came from nowhere, her authority was under Olive. So, she deeply understood that this woman had an unshakeable position in the old fox, Norton’s head. She thought that everything went smoothly. Only after she was appointed that she knew things weren’t as easy as she thought.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
