Chapter 456
And she’s even got evidence–a painting that her master gifted her.
Edith had never messed up this badly in her life. If she didn’t show up in court, it’s a total snub to the
law.
She’s shaking like a leaf, staring at the lawyer who delivered the subpoena.
“What else did she say?”
The lawyer was actually hired by Edith. She never saw this coming from Maja.
Neither did the lawyer. Who would ever think of suing their husband’s grandma?
T
And this was happening in the Raymond family, of all places.
In such upper–crust families, the women who marry usually show respect to the man’s family.
But someone just went full steam ahead.
Word was getting around in Greenfield, and people had started poking their noses into the Raymond
family’s business.
The first person to be questioned was Ryan Elston. Ryan was in such shock that he spit out his drink.
“Say that again? Maja is suing my grandma?”
The gossipmongers’nod.
“Ryan, is this really happening?”
Ryan was confused. After asking his family, he found out it’s true.
And apparently, Maja was sticking to her guns, demanding a fair result from the law!
Ryan found this amusing. He set off for Raymond Mansion to get a firsthand look.
At the same time, he gave lan a call.
“Did you hear? Your wife is suing your grandma!”
Right now, lan was in Crystalbrook Valley. The Raymond family was still exploring the potential of a
beach property there. The officials in Crystalbrook Valley wanted him to stay a couple more days to
negotiate prices.
A hard offer to refuse.
So when he got the call, he frowned, thinking he must’ve heard it wrong.
“What did you say?”
“Your wife is suing your grandma! It’s the talk of the town. People were asking me about it today!”
lan’s first thought was, what the hell was that woman up to now? novelbin
“I’ll be back tonight!”
“You’d better hurry. I have a feeling things are about to hit the fan.”
After hanging up, Ryan headed straight to Raymond Mansion.
He’s not there for any particular reason. He’s just amazed at Maja’s guts for suing Grandma Edith.
Wasn’t she afraid of getting kicked out of the Raymond family?
When he arrived, he found Edith arguing with her lawyer.
“What do you mean I can’t drop the case? Do you think she’s right? Who would believe that the
painting is a fake? If she wants to sue me, fine. Then I’m suing her for stealing from the Raymond
family!”
The lawyer was at a loss. “Edith, even if you want to sue her, that’ll have to wait. Right now, she’s suing
you, and you have to show up in court.”
Edith’s face turned red, and she almost fainted.
Selena was also there, feeling like she’s in a dream. She can’t believe Maja had the nerve to sue
Grandma Edith!
How did she even pull this off?
Of course, Edith didn’t want to go to court. She’s no spring chicken. If she actually went, she’ll be the
laughingstock of the whole town!
She clenched her teeth. “Call Holden Raymond! Let him see the wonderful daughter–in–law he chose
for lan!”
At this moment, Maja was at the Raymond family’s old house, tearfully telling her story to Grandpa
Holden.
“Grandpa Holden, this is what happened.”
Holden had been resting at home these past few days. Hearing Maja’s words, he’s so angry he’s
almost smoking.
“The painting was torn to pieces.
Maja feared that Edith and Selena might exaggerate the situation for Holden. And her suing Grandma
Edith had shocked everyone. So she decided to inform Holden first.
Holden loved her dearly. He knew that Maja didn’t lose her temper easily. If she’s been pushed to sue,
Edith must’ve really crossed the line.
He took a deep breath.
“I support you in this. Go back and do what you think is right. I won’t help her.”
With Holden’s support, Maja felt relieved.
But she still asked one question.
“Will this cause trouble for the Raymond family if it gets out of hand?”
Holden slammed the table.
“She’s the elder, and she’s bullying you without caring about the family’s reputation. Why should you,
the younger generation, worry about it? Maja, don’t be afraid of anything. I’m always on your side!”
Tears welled up in Maja’s eyes, and she felt a warmth in her heart.
As soon as she left, Holden called lan.
“Where the hell are you?”
lan had received three calls from the Raymond family today. First Ryan, then Selena, and now Holden.
“I’m in Crystalbrook Valley.”
“Your wife has been wronged so much, and you haven’t said a word! You’re so spineless! Get your ass
back here now!”
lan was silent. His annoyance with Maja intensified.
