First Loves Return Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 

Menu 

Why does Bella have such hostility towards her now, even though the last time they met, Bella’s attitude, although not particularly affectionate, was still polite? 

I don’t know what Lauryn said to Bella, exaggerating things in front of her. 

Mariela was just about to speak when a chilling voice came from the elevator exit, “Grandma, my sister Marie is delicate and cannot do the work of a maid.” 

As soon as Lennon got home, Bella immediately took him to the study to have a conversation with Royce. 

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he heard Bella aggressively urging Mariela to set the table. 

The man walked over with a casual tone, “Grandma, can’t we afford to pay the maid anymore? When do we need guests to come and the dishes?”

Bella saw Lennon coming downstairs and didn’t want to trouble Mariela any further. She put down her cup and managed to maintain a perfect smile, “Grandma just wanted to see if this girl Mariela would listen or not.” 

Lennon didn’t buy it, his tone slightly solemn, “My Marie doesn’t need to be obedient, she just needs to be happy.” 

Bella’s face looked very unpleasant. 

“Lenny, were you blaming Grandma?” 

It seems that Lauryn was right, Mariela drugged Lenny. Surprisingly, Lenny argued with his own grandmother because of Mariela. Lennon pursed his lips, his handsome face cold and stern, and the air around him seemed to be filled with a chilling atmosphere. 

“I wouldn’t dare.” Lennon replied coldly, “Grandma, Marie is the grandson I have been waiting for many years. Please don’t break us up. If Marie is not happy and refuses to marry me, then I will become a monk.” 

Mariela was taken aback when she heard these words. She didn’t expect Lennon to defend her in front of the Stark family like this, and he even made it clear that he had been waiting for her for many years, putting himself in a very humble position. 

Mariela’s heart trembled, and the grievance caused by Bella’s teasing just now disappeared into thin air, replaced by a heart full of sweetness, like being immersed in a honey jar. 

This remark greatly angered Bella. 

“You… are being ridiculous! What nonsense are you talking about!” 

She would often experience discomfort in her heart whenever she got excited. 

Lauryn supported Bella and nervously comforted her, “Grandma, please don’t get angry.” 

She lowered her eyelashes, concealing the jealousy in her eyes. 

Lennon’s gaze was deep and dark as he glanced at Lauryn, his eyes probing, “Did you speak ill of Marie in front of Grandma?” 

Lauryn’s back stiffened, she swallowed hard, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.“I… I didn’t…” 

Lennon squinted his eyes and scrutinized her, his gaze as cold as the chill of early spring in March. He enunciated each word slowly, “You had better not.”
