Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256 The Car’s Totaled 

“Why, Hellen, I’m free to go anywhere I want. Why can’t I be here?” 

Agnes gave the woman an attitude. 

Hellen was Agnes‘ former colleague when she worked for Lilyrose Wholeness Medical Center. 

Agnes was involved in an altercation with Hellen and her family at Lily Garden Hotel. 

“Hmph! You talk like you’ve got it all figured out.” 

Hellen said sarcastically. “It was quite the stir when you were fired from the center after that medical disaster. Deputy Director Soup just talked to me about it yesterday. I can’t believe you’d 

show your face here. 

“If I were you, I’d never step foot into the premises ever. I would go the long way around the 

medical center, but I guess you have no shame.” 

The comment hit Agnes‘ sore point and color washed off her face. 

Taking a deep breath, Agnes retaliated, “You’re no better than me. Let’s not forget the time you 

were hit and kicked out of Lily Garden Hotel. That was humiliating. If I were you, I wouldn’t come 

back to work.” 

Hellen scowled. 

The incident happened a few days ago, and her cheeks still burned every time she thought about 

1. it. 

That was why Hellen could not hold her tongue at the sight of Agnes. 

Still, Hellen was good at comebacks. She snapped back, “Ren hit us, not you. What are you smug about, Agnes? For Ren to stand up for you, I bet he fancies your daughter and wants to be part of your family. 

“But I heard that your daughter is with a dimwitted man. Did Ren have his fun with your daughter 

and dump her?” 

The vile remark pushed Agnes over the edge. 

“I believe you’re talking about your daughter, Hellen!” 

Agnes yelled, attracting a lot of attention. 

Hellen grimaced and muttered furiously. “Shut your mouth, bitch, or I’ll rip your lips apart.”

She did not want her argument with Agnes to give her daughter a bad name. 

Agnes stopped yapping and glared at Hellen. “If you speak ill of my daughter again, I’ll talk bad about you at the hospital every day. I don’t work here anyway, so I don’t care.” 

“Agnes, you despicable and shameless bitch! 

Hellen stamped her foot and looked past Agnes. She scoffed. “Talk’s over. My daughter and son–in -law are here.” 

“Come on, Mom. We came to pick you up. Let us wine and dine you.” 

Yenny approached, clinging to Sam’s arm. 

Their faces fell when they saw Agnes. 

“Oh, you’re here. Mrs. Quint.” 

The pair said hello indifferently. 

Agnes scoffed and ignored them. 

Hellen glanced at her and said with a smile, “Sam, did you collect your new car?” 

“Of course. Didn’t we say we were going to take you to a restaurant in the new car? I reserved a table at a more upscale place than Lily Garden Hotel. We won’t get rude service there.” 

Sam was no angel. 

Holding a grudge over the time he was hit at Lily Garden Hotel, he tried to get on Agnes‘ nerves. 

Hellen asked happily, “Oh, so you got the car. How much was it?” 

“It’s a Mercedes–Benz GLC. It costs around half a million dollars to get on the road.” 

“That’s expensive.” 

Hellen made a surprised look even though she had known already. 

“I told Sam not to get an expensive car. An SUV in the range of three hundred grand would do, but he insisted.” Yenny said, feigning displeasure. 

“It’s a compact car, so the space won’t be enough when we have a child. We should have gotten a bigger ca 

“Half a million dollars isn’t much anyway. Money is no object so long as you and your parents can enjoy a nice ride,” Sam replied with a smile. He spoke as if half a million was nothing. 

“We’re lucky to have you in the family.” 

Hellen turned to an ashen–faced Agnes and said, her words dripping with sarcasm, “What about your dumb son–in–law, Agnes? Even though he married into your family, he should have a car to show for. Don’t tell me your family still owns the same three–hundred–grand Audi A4?” 

“Our Audi A4 was wrecked.” 

A figure drew close.
