Chapter 933 Manipulative
"Shut up!" Grandma Hilton was fed up with Leia’s crying and weeping. Her gaze was cold as sheplayed with the bangle around her wrist. "I'm talking to Brody, who are you to jump into theconversation like that? How rude! You call yourself Mr. Norman's adopted daughter?"
Brody coaxed, "Grandma, please don’t be angry. Leia can't control her emotions, she's just trying to benice."
Grandma Hilton looked at the herbs on the coffee table, then at Leia's slightly bulging belly. Shesnorted coldly and said, "Brody, I love you, but do you think I’m old and confused? I know why shechose to visit today.
Today is the day when your parents are coming back. She’s thinking that if your parents agree to it, shecan then marry into the Hilton family. You’re blinded by love, don’t you see?"
Leia wanted to marry into the Hilton family just because she was pregnant? Never!
Grandma Hilton's attitude was unwavering. As long as she lived, she would never allow it.
"Grandma, Leia is not that kind of person. She’s simple and kind. We’re here because the herbs arrivedjust now," Brody explained to her and lied without blinking.
Leia bit her lower lip, her pitiful appearance touching even the caretaker in the Hilton family. GrandmaHilton was the only one in the living room who was indifferent.
"Brody, I can’t help it if you want to introduce her to your parents, but I believe that your parents will bejust like me and won’t consider this woman! She’s a scheming, misbehaving sl*t." Grandma Hiltonlooked at Leia's tears and did not grant her any mercy.
Her acting skills were good enough to fool Brody, who was inexperienced.
Grandma Hilton was slightly disappointed.
As Brody’s grandmother, she had worried about all sorts of things since he was young. She had taughthim a lot of ways to judge a person’s character. However, when he met Leia, he threw everything out ofthe window and was fully controlled by Leia now.
Brody wanted to say something else but before he could, Grandma Hilton stood up and heard thehonking of a car outside.
"Are they back?" Grandma Hilton asked.
The caretaker went to check and saw Brody's parents, who just got out of the car. She turned aroundand said in surprise, "Mr. and Mrs. Hilton are back!"
Grandma Hilton glanced at Leia coldly and then said to Brody, "It’s your decision whether you wantyour parents to meet such a woman. However, don't ask me for help if you're scolded."
After that, Grandma Hilton walked up the stairs and had no intention to continue watching the farcehere. Regarding Brody's lifelong partner, she believed that she and her daughter-in-law would sharethe same thoughts.
The caretaker immediately stepped forward to help.
Brody was upset because he had been scolded. He stood still, unsure whether to help Grandma Hiltonupstairs or comfort Leia.
Leia hurriedly wiped away her tears. In preparation to meet Brody’s parents, she had put on waterproofmakeup so she could look her best.
Julius Hilton and Tania Ridley walked into the living room. The driver followed behind them with theirluggage.
"Brody, this is?" Tania asked curiously when she saw Leia. Her pair of sharp eyes looked at her up anddown for a moment. Only one comment came to mind, 'Manipulative.' "Dad, Mom, this is Leia, mygirlfriend," Brody introduced Leia to his parents.
Julius was tall, mature, and looked great even as a 50-year-old man. His suit and leather shoesdisplayed his noble identity. Leia was stunned the moment she saw him, and a trace of panic flashed inher eyes.
How could it be...
Julius frowned. His gaze fell on Leia's pregnant belly as he asked, "Why haven't we heard that youhave a girlfriend?" "It's been several months. You’re so busy that you don’t even have time to take careof your illegitimate children. You probably have no time to care about my love life, so I haven't talked toyou about it." Brody had a rocky relationship with Julius.
Julius became angry and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?!" "That’s enough. Don’t youfeel ashamed for fighting in front of outsiders? Can both of you take a step back? I don’t know what’sthe matter with you two." Tania frowned and spoke with a raised voice. She was a career woman whosupported Julius. She had a strong personality and ego.
She could not stand Brody and Julius fighting in front of outsiders.
Tania had exquisite features and was wearing light makeup. Her hair was in a ponytail, and she had apair of sharp eyes. She wore a professional suit and high heels that were seven centimeters high. Shestood apart from other wealthy wives. She looked at Leia for a few seconds before retracting her gaze,seemingly having seen through her.
Leia's face turned paler, and her hands trembled unconsciously.
She thought that her efforts would leave a good impression on Brody's parents, but now, everythingwas in vain.
What surprised her was that Brody's father was Julius.
What a small world...
To get into the entertainment industry, she contacted an agency despite Jack Norman's opposition.
To get her hand on better resources, she went with her agent's suggestion and went for various events.
She was aware of the indecent transactions that happened but Leia did not care. Although Jack did notagree with her entering the entertainment industry, she still used him as her backer.
If attending events as such meant better resources, she would be happy to do it to gain Jack's praise.
That was when she met Julius.
Julius had a friend who was a nationally renowned director. He promised that he would introduce her tohis friend if she went on a business trip with him for a week. He promised that she would be the mainfemale character of a TV series that was adapted from books.
Leia would never agree to attend something like that, so she sent him a supermodel and got her to gowith him on a week-long business trip.
The 'business trip' was a staycation. The supermodel later told Leia they never left the hotel and triedvarious positions.
The supermodel introduced by Leia had satisfied him, so he gave her the contact she wanted.
It was a transaction, and after a week, they were no longer in contact.
She thought that Julius was a fake name. Hence, she was not sure of his last name and first name.
Leia did not think too much about it after it happened. Unexpectedly, after so many years, they metagain... in a situation as such.
Brody snorted and stopped arguing with Julius. Instead, he turned around, grabbed Leia's waist, andintroduced her to Tania, "Leia, this is my father and this is my mother. Say hi." "Hello, Uncle Julius, AuntTania, I'm Leia. It’s nice to finally meet you." Leia's smile was somewhat awkward.
She could tell that Tania was not one to mess with. If Tania found out that she and Julius had history,she would never allow her to marry Brody!
Leia had to act like Julius was nothing but a stranger to her.novelbin
She was not worried that Julius would say something. Leia was sure that this was not something thatJulius wanted his wife to find out.
